INSTALLATION

These instructions were provided to aid you in the installation of your refrigerator.

Measuring the opening

This refrigerator was designed to fit a 69" tall opening to allow for proper ventilation, leveling and door adjustments.

Please also take into account, when measuring space for your unit, that some models require a certain amount of clearance around it to allow for proper air flow. Proper air flow is key to keeping your unit running at optimum efficiency. To determine measurements, please reference the table below.

Subflooring or floor coverings (i.e. carpet, tile, wood floors, rugs) may make your opening smaller than anticipated.

Some clearance may be gained by using

the leveling procedure under Leveling Your Refrigerator.

Selecting the best location

Observe these points when choosing the final location for your refrigerator:

➢ DO NOT install refrigerator near oven,

radiator or other heat source. If not possible, shield refrigerator with cabinet material.

➢ DO NOT install where temperature

falls below 55° F (13° C). Malfunction may occur at this temperature.

➢ To assure proper door closure, follow

the leveling instructions in the section,

Leveling Your Refrigerator.

Transporting your refrigerator

Follow these tips when moving the refrigerator to final location:

➢ NEVER transport refrigerator on its

side. If an upright position is not possible, lay refrigerator on its back. Allow refrigerator to sit upright for approximately 30 minutes prior to plugging refrigerator in to assure oil returns to the compressor. Plugging refrigerator in immediately may cause damage to internal parts.

➢ Use an appliance dolly when moving

refrigerator. ALWAYS truck refrigerator from its side or back–NEVER from

its front.

➢ Protect outside finish of refrigerator

during transport by wrapping cabinet in blankets or inserting padding between the refrigerator and dolly.

➢ Secure refrigerator to dolly firmly with

straps or bungee cords. Thread straps

through handles when possible. DO NOT overtighten. Overtightening

restraints may dent or damage outside finish.

IMPORTANT: If refrigerator is to be

installed into a recess where top of refrigerator is completely covered, use dimensions from floor to top of hinge cap to verify proper clearance.

CARE AND CLEANING

, CONT.

Removing odors from refrigerator

➢ Remove all food. ➢ Disconnect refrigerator. ➢ Clean the following items using the

appropriate instructions in the Care and Cleaning table.

–Walls, floor and ceiling of cabinet

interior

– Drawers, shelves and gaskets

according to the instructions in this section.

➢ Pay special attention to clean all

crevices by completing the following steps.

– Dilute mild detergent with water

and brush solution into crevices using a plastic bristle brush.

– Let stand for 5 minutes.

– Rinse surfaces with warm water.

Dry surfaces with a soft, clean cloth.

Energy saving ideas

➢ Avoid overcrowding refrigerator

shelves. This reduces effectivity of air circulation around food and causes refrigerator to run longer.

➢ Avoid adding too much warm food to

unit at one time. This overloads compartments and slows rate of cooling.

➢ Do not use aluminum foil, wax paper,

or paper toweling as shelf liners. This decreases air flow and causes unit to run less efficiently.

➢ A freezer that is

Ú3 full runs most effi-

ciently.

➢ Locate refrigerator in coolest part of

room. Avoid areas of direct sunlight, or near heating ducts, registers or other heat producing appliances. If this is not possible, isolate exterior by using a section of cabinet or an added layer of insulation.

➢ Refer to Owner's Manual section on

temperature controls for recommended control settings.

➢ Clean door gaskets every three

months according to Owner's Manual cleaning instructions. This will assure that door seals properly and unit runs efficiently.

➢ Take time to organize items in refriger-

ator to reduce time that door is open.

➢ Be sure your doors are closing

securely by leveling unit as instructed in this Owner's Manual (see page 4).

➢ Clean condenser coils as indicated in

the Owner's Manual every 3 months. This will increase energy efficiency and cooling performance.

➢ Wash and dry all bottles, containers

and jars. Discard spoiled or expired items.

➢ Wrap or store odor-causing foods in

tightly sealed containers to prevent reoccurring odors.

➢ Connect power to refrigerator and

return food to unit.

➢ After 24 hours, check if odor has been

eliminated.

If odor is still present:

➢ Remove drawers and place on top

shelf of refrigerator.

➢ Pack refrigerator and freezer sections –

including doors – with crumpled sheets of black and white newspaper.

➢ Place charcoal briquettes randomly on

crumpled newspaper in both freezer and refrigerator compartments.

➢ Close doors and let stand 24-48

hours.
