DANGER

RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT

Before You Throw Away Your Old Refrigerator or Freezer:

• Take off the doors.

• Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.

IMPORTANT: Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators are still dangerous... even if they will sit for “just a few days.”

Important Safety Instructions

Getting Started

Proper Disposal (of old refrigerator)

• Install and level your refrigerator on a floor that will hold its weight, plus food weight (approximately 1200 pounds

Getting Started

[540kg]) and in an area suitable for its size and use.

• Do not install a refrigeration unit near a heat source, nor in a location where the surrounding temperature will fall below 60° F (16° C).

• Do not allow your refrigerator to be exposed to the weather or outdoor elements.

• Connect your refrigerator only to the appropriate kind of electrical outlet, with the correct power supply and grounding. (Refer to the Electrical Requirements section of the Installation Instructions.)

• Use the refrigerator only for the uses described in this manual.

• Properly maintain the refrigerator.

• Be sure the refrigerator is not used by anyone unable to operate it properly.

IMPORTANT:

Now that you have a new refrigerator, it is extremely important that you dispose of your old appliance in a way that minimizes the possibility that children will find it. There have been many cases in years past of children crawling inside junked and abandoned refrigerators and becoming trapped or suffocated.

Contact your municipal waste disposal authority to find out the best and safest way to dispose of your old refrigerator.

Settings and Functions

In order for your new refrigerator to work properly, it is important that you understand its various features, controls, and how to use them.

Power On/Off Switch (Power Interruption Switch)

The power on/off switch is located behind your refrigerator's top grille. It is used to turn the power off when cleaning the refrigerator or changing the light bulbs. Your refrigerator arrives from the factory with the power interruption switch on.

To turn power off, remove the center grille blade. Press the power on/off switch to the off position.

To turn power on, press power on/off switch to the on position. Replace the center grille blade.

Product Controls

Power Switch

IMPORTANT: Be sure the power on/off switch is in the on

position after cleaning or changing light bulbs.

Showroom Mode Initiation

Showroom mode allows electronic controls and interior lights to function independently of refrigeraton system.

Electronic Temperature Settings

Your refrigerator's electronic controls are located behind the door above the cabinet interior. To activate the electronic control panel, press “ACTIVATE CONTROLS” pad. All other pads, except the “ALARM OFF” pad, will remain inactive until the ”ACTIVATE CONTROLS” pad is pressed. Once activated, pad remains programmable for at least ten minutes.

When you first plug your new refrigerator in, you will find that five bars of nine are displayed. This means that all unit controls are pre-set at the mid-range setting. Wait 24 hours after plug-in for the cabinets to reach this setting. After 24 hours, you may adjust controls as desired. The warmest setting displays one bar, while the coldest setting shows nine bars.

To adjust the refrigerator or freezer temperature, simply press the ”ACTIVATE CONTROLS” pad, then “REF TEMP” pad or “FRZ TEMP” pad. Press the “HIGHER” or “LOWER” pad to adjust temperature setting one level at a time. Holding down the “HIGHER” or “LOWER” pad adjusts temperature more than one level at a time.

Entry Tone

The entry tone is the “beep” you will hear when you press the control pad.

You can deactivate the entry tone by pressing and holding the ”ACTIVATE CONTROLS” pad for three to five seconds. You will hear three short beeps to let you know that the entry tone feature has been deactivated.

Product Controls

To enter the showroom mode: Press and hold ”ACTIVATE CONTROLS” pad; while holding, press and hold the “HIGHER” and “ALARM OFF” pads together. Three beeps will sound and unmarked blue light will be lit. Showroom mode is entered.

To exit the showroom mode: press and hold “ACTIVATE CONTROLS” pad; while holding, press and hold the “HIGHER” and “ALARM OFF” pads together. Three beeps will sound and control will revert to normal operation and display.

To activate the entry tone, simply press and hold the ”ACTIVATE CONTROLS” pad for three to five seconds.

Max Refrigerator Mode

Max refrigerator mode adjusts the refrigerator temperature to the coldest setting for four hours, at the end of which the refrigerator's temperature automatically returns to its previous setting.
