SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
ProperDisposal ofYourOldRefrigerator
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 and freezers are
still dangerous - even if they will sit for "just a few days." If you
are getting rid of your old refrigerator or freezer, please follow
these instructions to help prevent accidents.
INSTALLATIONINSTRUCTIONS
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install convertible
refrigerator/freezer.
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 convertible refrigerator/freezer. 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 convertible
refrigerator/freezer. For more information, see "Convertible
Refrigerator/Freezer Safety."
• Depending on your model, remove protective film from shelf
trims. Look for the "Peel Off" strip, and use your fingernail to
peel off the film.
Before you throw away your old refrigerator or freezer:
• Take off the door.
• Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily
climb inside.
When Moving Your Convertible Refrigerator/Freezer:
Your convertible refrigerator/freezer is heavy. When moving
the convertible refrigerator/freezer for cleaning or service,
be sure to protect the floor. Always pull the convertible

CONVERTIBLEREFRIGERATOR]
FREEZERUSE
In order to ensure proper temperature, you need to permit proper
airflow in the convertible refrigerator/freezer. As shown in the
illustration, cool air enters through the convertible refrigerator/
freezer wall and moves down. The air then recirculates through
the vent near the bottom.
4. Check with a level.
5. Open and close the door to make sure it swings as easily as
you like.
Your new convertible refrigerator/freezer 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 convertible refrigerator/freezer 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 convertible
refrigerator/freezer 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 compartment. The fan speed may increase as you open
the door or add warm food.
• Rattling noises may come from the flow of refrigerant, the
water line, or items stored on top of the convertible
refrigerator/freezer.
• Water dripping on the defrost heater during a defrost cycle
may cause a sizzling sound.
• As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to
the refrigerant flowing in your convertible refrigerator/freezer.
• Contraction and expansion of the inside walls may cause a
popping noise.
• You may hear water running into the drain pan during the
defrost cycle.
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: To prevent odors and drying out of food, wrap or
cover foods tightly.
IMPORTANT:
The mode switch in the center of the control panel is used to
select the operating mode of the convertible refrigerator/
freezer. When the left-hand side of the switch is depressed
and the indicator lights up, the product is a Refrigerator.
When the right-hand side of the switch is depressed and the
indicator lights up, the product is a Freezer.
NOTE: Do not stack large or bulky items that may cover the
center rib of the top door shelf. Large or bulky items may
press against the mode switch changing the function of the
convertible refrigerator/freezer.
The convertible refrigerator/freezer has 2 separate
controls.The REFRIGERATOR (left-hand) temperature control
is used when operating as a refrigerator. The FREEZER
(right-hand) temperature control is used when operating as a
freezer.
NOTE: Both temperature controls should remain at the
desired temperature setting. This allows the convertible
refrigerator/freezer to return to the desired temperature when
either operating mode is selected.
To Operate as a Refrigerator
Setting the control
For your convenience, your convertible refrigerator/freezer
control is preset at the factory to the recommended setting as
shown.
3 REFRIGERATOR FREEZER 3
1,
Make sure the Refrigerator control is still preset to 3
(mid-setting).
2.
Press the MODE SWITCH closer to the Refrigerator control
until it lights up.
NOTE: To turn your refrigerator off, turn the Refrigerator
control to OFF. Your refrigerator will not cool when the control
is set to the OFF position.
Allow the refrigerator time to cool down completely before adding
food. It is best to wait 24 hours before putting food into the
refrigerator. Turning the temperature control to a colder (higher)
than recommended setting will not cool the compartment any
faster. The control is set correctly when milk or juice is as cold as
you like.
NOTE: If you add food before the refrigerator has cooled
completely, your food may spoil.
When the refrigerator is first started, the compressor will run
constantly until the cabinet is cooled. It may take up to 6 or
8 hours (or longer), depending on room temperature and the
number of times the refrigerator door is opened. After the cabinet
is cooled, the compressor will turn on and off as needed to keep
the refrigerator at the proper temperature.
The outside of your refrigerator may feel warm. This is normal.
The refrigerator's design and main function is to remove heat
from packages and air space inside the refrigerator. The heat is
transferred to the room air, making the outside of the refrigerator
feel warm.
NOTE: During high humidity, moisture may form on the outside of
the refrigerator. To prevent rust, dry the refrigerator's exterior and
adjust the temperature control to a colder (higher) setting.
Adjusting the control
Move the dial one setting at a time and wait 24 hours between
adjustments.
• Turn control to a higher number for colder temperatures.
• Turn control to a lower number for less cold temperatures.
To Operate as a Freezer
IMPORTANT: Remove all glass containers from the convertible
refrigerator/freezer before selecting Freezer mode.
Setting the control
For your convenience, your convertible refrigerator/freezer
control is preset at the factory to the recommended setting as
shown.
1. Make sure the Freezer control is still preset to 3 (mid-setting)
as shown.
NOTE: This setting is designed to maintain the temperature
at or near 0°F (-17.8°C) under normal operating conditions.
2, Press the MODE SWITCH closer to the Freezer control until it
lights up
NOTE: To turn your freezer off, turn the Freezer control to
OFF. Your product will not cool when the freezer control is set
to the OFF position.
Allow the freezer to cool 6 to 8 hours before filling with frozen
food. Turning the temperature control to a colder (higher) than
recommended setting will not cool the compartment any faster.
Let the freezer cool overnight before adding large amounts of
unfrozen food. Never add more than 2 to 3 Ibs (907-1,350 g) of
unfrozen food per cubic foot (28.32 L) of freezer space.
NOTE: If you add food before the freezer has cooled completely,
your food may spoil.
When the freezer is first started, the compressor will run
constantly until the cabinet is cooled. It may take up to 6 or
8 hours (or longer), depending on room temperature and the
number of times the freezer door is opened. After the cabinet is
cooled, the compressor will turn on and off as needed to keep
the freezer at the proper temperature.
The outside of your freezer may feel warm. This is normal. The
freezer's design and main function is to remove heat from
packages and air space inside the freezer. The heat is transferred
to the room air, making the outside of the freezer feel warm.
Adjusting the control
Move the dial one setting at a time and wait 24 hours between
adjustments.
• Turn control to a higher number for colder temperatures.
• Turn control to a lower number for less cold temperatures.
To lock or unlock the convertible refrigerator/freezer, you must
hold the key in the lock while turning. The lock is spring loaded,
so the key cannot be left in the lock.
