Important Safety Instructions

Getting Started

using your refrigerator, follow these basic precautions:

• Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet.

• DO NOT remove ground prong.

• DO NOT use an adapter.

• DO NOT use an extension cord.

• Disconnect power before servicing.

• Replace all parts and panels before operating.

• Remove doors from your old refrigerator.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Proper Disposal (of old refrigerator)

A. Touch pads

WARNING

Suffocation Hazard

Remove doors from your old refrigerator.

Failure to do so can result in death or brain damage.

Getting Started

Using the Controls

• The control panel is located on the front of the ice and water dispenser.

• To access the main control menu, press any of the four touch pads located on either side of the display. Then, touch the pad next to the desired option or user setting to access the various features.

Note: Press only the touch pads next to your selection on the display screen, not the selection itself.

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”. If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator, please follow these instructions to help avoid accidents.

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: Wait 24 hours for your refrigerator to cool completely before adding food. If you add food before the refrigerator has cooled completely, your food may spoil.

Note: Adjusting the refrigerator and freezer temperature controls to a colder than recommended setting will not cool the compartments any faster.

• The recommended settings should be correct for normal household refrigerator use. The controls are set correctly when milk or juice is as cold as you like and when ice cream is firm.

• If the temperature is too warm or too cold in the refrigerator or freezer, first check the air vents to be sure they are not blocked before adjusting the controls.
