Proper Disposal (of old refrigerator)
WARNING
Suffocation Hazard Remove doors from your old refrigerator.
Failure to do so can result in death or brain damage.
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.
Using the Controls
The control center is located at the top front of the refrigerator compartment.
Temperature Controls
For your convenience, your temperature controls are preset at the factory. When you first install your refrigerator, make sure the controls are still set to the recommended set points as shown.
Recommended Settings
IMPORTANT:
•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.
•When the power is on, the temperature display shows the actual temperature of the compartment.
•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.
•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.
Cooling On/Off:
•Cooling On/Off turns off cooling for both compartments. It does not disconnect power to the refrigerator.
• Press and hold Cooling On/Off for 3 seconds. The LED will light up to indicate that cooling is Off. Press the button again to turn on the cooling. The LED will turn off.
