REFRIGERATORSAFETY

Your safety and the safety of others are very important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.

This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others. All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word "DANGER" or

This is the safety alert symbol. "WARNING." These words mean:

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately follow instructions.

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't

follow instructions.

All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury when 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 panels before operating.

• Remove doors from your old refrigerator.

• Use nonflammable cleaner.

• Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from refrigerator,

• Use two or more people to move and install refrigerator.

• Disconnect power before installing ice maker (on ice maker kit ready models only).

• Use a sturdy glass when dispensing ice or water (on some models).

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

ProperDisposal ofYourOld Refrigerator

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

prevent 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.

INSTALLATIONINSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT: Do not remove the white foam air return insert that is located behind the control panel on the ceiling of the

refrigerator (on some models). The insert is part of the refrigerator and not part of the packing material. If the insert is removed, ice may migrate down from the freezer and cause icicles to form.

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move and install

refrigerator.

Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

Removing packaging materials

• Remove tape and glue residue from surfaces before turning on the refrigerator. Rub a small amount of liquid dish soap over the adhesive with your fingers. Wipe with warm water and dry.

Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, flammable fluids, or abrasive cleaners to remove tape or glue. These products can damage the surface of your refrigerator. For more information, see the "Refrigerator Safety" section.

On some models, shelves, bins, door shelf rails, and other feature parts may be packaged in the Interior FeaturePak.

Follow the instructions contained in the package for proper assembly.

Depending on your model, to remove the protective (transparent) film that is on the nameplate, which is located

on the freezer handle, use your fingernail and peel off the film, starting from one side and peeling to the other.

• There are 4 bolts that secure the refrigerator to the shipping case. Keep these bolts because they are the refrigerator's leveling legs.

When Moving Your Refrigerator: Your refrigerator is heavy. When moving the refrigerator

for cleaning or service, be sure to protect the floor.

Always pulI the refrigerator straight out when moving it. Do not wiggle or "walk" the refrigerator when trying to move it, as floor damage couId occur.

Cleaning before use After you remove all of the package materials, clean the inside of

your refrigerator before using it. See the cleaning instructions in the "Refrigerator Care" section.

Important information to know about glass shelves and covers:

Do not clean glass shelves or covers with warm water when

they are cold. Shelves and covers may break if exposed to

sudden temperature changes or impact, such as bumping. For your protection, tempered glass is designed to shatter into many small, pebble-size pieces. This is normal. Glass shelves and covers are heavy. Use special care when re- moving them to avoid impact from dropping.

E×plosion Hazard

Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from refrigerator.

Failure to do so can result in death, explosion,

or fire.

To ensure proper ventilation for your refrigerator, allow for a 1/2in.

(12.70 mm) space on each side. Allow 3 in. (7.5 cm) of space between overhead cabinets and refrigerator top. Allow at least 1 in. (25.40 mm) between back of cabinet and the wall. If your refrigerator has an ice maker, make sure you leave some extra space at the back for the water line connections.

• If you are installing your refrigerator next to a fixed wall, leave 2 in. (5.08 cm) minimum on the hinge side (depending on your model) to allow for the door to swing open.

• Level the refrigerator. See "Door Closing and Alignment").

NOTE: Do not install the refrigerator near an oven, radiator, or other heat source, nor in a location where the temperature will fall below 55°F (13°C).

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

Do not remove ground prong. Do not use an adapter.

Do not use an extension cord. Failure to follow these instructions can result in

death, fire, or emectrica! shock.

Before you move your refrigerator into its final location, it is important to make sure you have the proper electrical

connection.

Recommended grounding method

A 115 Volt, 60 Hz., AC only 15 or 20 ampere fused, grounded electrical supply is required. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only your refrigerator be provided. Use an outlet that cannot be turned off by a switch. Do not use an

extension cord. NOTE: Before performing any type of installation, cleaning, or

removing a light bulb, turn the control (Thermostat, Refrigerator or Freezer Control depending on the model) to OFF and then disconnect the refrigerator from the electrical source. When you are finished, reconnect the refrigerator to the electrical source and reset the control (Thermostat, Refrigerator or Freezer Control depending on the model) to the desired setting.

Door Closing

NOTE: There are 4 bolts that secured the refrigerator in the

shipping case. These are the leveling legs. If your refrigerator seems unsteady to you or you want the doors

to close more easily, adjust the refrigerator's tilt using these

instructions.

1. Screw the leveling legs all the way into the bolt holes in the bottom corners of the refrigerator.

2. Plug refrigerator power cord into a 3-prong grounded outlet. Move the refrigerator into its final position.

3. Lower the leveling legs just enough to lift the cabinet from off the floor.

4. Adjust the legs to level the refrigerator:

• Turn the leveling leg to the right to lower that side of the

refrigerator.

• Turn the leveling leg to the left to raise that side of the

refrigerator.

5. Check with a level.

6. Open and close both doors to make sure they swing properly. If the doors do not close on their own, you will need to raise the front of the refrigerator so it is slightly higher than the back. To do this, turn the front leveling screws clockwise 1/2

turn.

IMPORTANT: Be sure to turn both legs an equal amount or

the refrigerator will no longer be level side to side.

7. Open the doors and check if they close automatically. If not, repeat steps 5 and 6.

8. Using a level, check to see whether the refrigerator is still level side to side. Readjust if necessary.

Door Alignment

Your new refrigerator may make sounds that your old one didn't make. Because the sounds are new to you, you might be

concerned about them. Most of the new sounds are normal. Hard surfaces, such as the floor, walls, and cabinets, can make the

sounds seem louder. The following describes the kinds of sounds and what may be making them.

• Your refrigerator is designed to run more efficiently to keep your food items at the desired temperatures and to minimize energy usage. The high efficiency compressor and fans may cause your refrigerator to run longer than your old one. You may also hear a pulsating or high-pitched sound from the compressor or fans adjusting to optimize performance.

• You may hear the evaporator fan motor circulating air through the refrigerator compartment. The fan speed may increase as you open the doors or add warm food.

• Rattling noises may come from the flow of refrigerant or items stored on top of the refrigerator.

• As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to the refrigerant flowing in your refrigerator.

• You may hear air being forced over the condenser by the condenser fan.

• You may hear water running into the drain pan during the defrost cycle.

• You may hear clicking sounds when the refrigerator starts or stops running.

• The defrost timer may click when the defrost cycle starts.

REFRIGERATORUSE

In order to ensure proper temperatures, you need to permit airflow between the refrigerator and freezer sections. As shown in the illustration, cool air enters through the bottom of the freezer section and moves through the multiflow tower into the refrigerator.

If the space between your doors looks uneven, you can adjust it using the instructions below:

1. Pry off the top hinge cover.

2. Loosen the top hinge screws using a 5/16in. socket or wrench.

3. Have someone hold the door in place or put a spacer between the doors while you tighten the top hinge screws.

4. Replace the top hinge cover.

Do not block any of these vents with food packages. If the vents are blocked, airflow will be prevented and temperature and moisture problems may occur.

IMPORTANT: Because air circulates between both sections, any odors formed in one section will transfer to the other. You must

thoroughly clean both sections to eliminate odors. To prevent odor transfer and drying out of food, wrap or cover foods tightly.

IMPORTANT:

Turning the Temperature Control to OFF stops cooling in the refrigerator and freezer compartments, but it does not disconnect the refrigerator from the power supply.

The Temperature Control regulates the temperature in both the refrigerator and freezer compartments. Settings to the left of the mid-setting make the temperature less cold. Settings to the right of the mid-setting make the temperature colder.

Wait 24 hours before you put food into your refrigerator. If you add food before the refrigerator has cooled completely, your food may spoil.

NOTE: Adjusting the Temperature Control to a higher (colder) setting will not cool the compartments any faster.

The mid-settings should be correct for normal household usage. 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 inthe refrigerator or freezer, first check the air vents to be sure they are not blocked before adjusting controls.

Adjusting Controls

NOTE: Wait at least 24 hours between adjustments and then

recheck the temperatures.

FRIGEP TOR FEATURES

Your model may have some or all of these features. Features that can be purchased separately as product accessories are labeled with the word "Accessory." Not all accessories will fit all models. See the "Assistance or Service" section if you are interested in purchasing one of the accessories.

Important information to know about glass shelves and covers:

Do not clean glass shelves or covers with warm water when

they are cold. Shelves and covers may break if exposed to

sudden temperature changes or impact, such as bumping. For your protection, tempered glass is designed to shatter

into many small, pebble-size pieces. This is normal. Glass shelves and covers are heavy. Use special care when re- moving them to avoid impact from dropping.

The shelves in your refrigerator are adjustable to match your individual storage needs.

Storing similar food items together in your refrigerator and adjusting the shelves to fit different heights of items will make finding the exact item you want easier. It will also reduce the amount of time the refrigerator door is open, and save energy.

To remove and replace a shelf:

1. Remove items from the shelf.

2. Lift back of shelf over stop.

3. Slide the shelf straight out.

4. Replace the shelf by sliding the back of the shelf into the track in the wall of the cabinet.

5. Guide the front of the shelf into the shelf track. Be sure to slide the shelf in all the way.

To remove and replace the crisper:

1. Lift the front of the crisper and slide outward.

2. Replace the crisper by inserting the rear of the crisper into the slots and sliding it back into place.

To remove and replace the crisper cover:

1. Lift the front of the cover and slide outward.

2. Replace the cover by inserting the rear of the cover into the slots and sliding it back into place.
