Cartons covered with rugs, bedspreads, plastic sheets or
stretch wrap may become airtight chambers, and can
quickly cause suffocation.
PROPER DISPOSAL OF YOUR REFRIGERATOR
OR FREEZER
Risk of child entrapment
Child entrapment and
suffocation are not problems of
the past. Junked or abondoned
refrigerators or 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 the t
instructions below to help
prevent accidents.

technician.
These Guidelines Must Be Followed To Ensure That Safety Mechanisms In This Refrigerator
Wi!! Operate Proper!y.
ELECTRICAL INFORMATION
The refrigerator must be plugged into its own
dedicated 115 Volt, 60 Hz., AC onmyelectric outlet.
The power cord of the appliance is equipped with a
three-prong grounding plug for your protection against
electrical shock hazards. It must be plugged directly
into a properly grounded three-prong receptacle. The
receptacle must be installed in accordance with local
codes and ordinances. Consult a qualified electrician.
Do not use an extension cord or adapter plug.
,, Immediately repair or replace any power cord that
becomes frayed or damaged.
Never unplug the refrigerator by pulling on the power
cord. Always grip the plug firmly, and pull straight out
from the receptacle to prevent damaging the power cord.
Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning and before
replacing a light bulb to avoid electrical shock.
,, Performance may be affected if the voltage varies by
10% or more. Operating the refrigerator with insufficient
power can damage the compressor. Such damage is
not covered under your warranty.
,, Do not plug the unit into an outlet controlled by a wa!l
switch or pull cord to prevent the refrigerator from being
turned off accidentally.
Avoid connecting refrigerator to a Ground Fault
Interruptor (GFI)circuit.
NOTE: Turning the refrigerator temperature control to
"0" turns off the compressor, but does not disconnect
electrical power to the light bulb or other electrica!

/nsta//adon - Connecting Optional tee Maker To Water Supply
To avoid electric shock, which can cause death or severe personal injury, disconnect the
refrigerator from electrical power before connecting a water supply line to the refrigerator.
To Avoid Property Damage:
• Copper tubing is recommended for the water suppJy line. Water supply tubing made of 1/4"plastic is not
recommended since it greatly increases the potential for water leaks. Manufacturer will not be responsible for
any damage if plastic tubing is osedfor supply line.
• DO NOT install water supply tubing in areas where temperatures fa_l below freezing.
• Chemicals from a malfunctioning softener can damage the ice maker. If the ice maker is connected to soft
wate5 ensure that the softener }s maintained and working properly.
IMPORTANT: Ensure ma_your water suppl,.' J_neconnections comply wltr] a!l _oca!plumbing codes.
Before installing The Water Supp/y Line, You Will Need
• Basic Tooms:adjustable wrench, flat-blade screwdriver, and Phillips TM screwdriver
Access to a household cold water line with water pressure between 20 and 120 psi.
A water supply line made of _Ainch (6.4 rnrn) OD, copper tubing. To determine the length of copper tubing needed,
you will need to measure the distance from the ice maker inlet valve at the back of the refrigerator to your cold water
pipe. Then add approximately 7 feet (2.1 meters), so the refrigerator can be moved out for cleaning (as shown).
A shutoff valve to connect the water supply line to your household water system. DO NOT use aself-piercing type
shutoff valve.
,, A compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) for connecting the water supply line to the ice maker inlet valve.
NOTE: Water line kit number 53039179501 available fiom your appliance dealer at additional cost, contains 25 feet
nuts, (2) ferrules/sleeves, and instructions for instal%g a water supply line.
ToConnect Water Supp/y Line Toice Maker /n/et Valve

To stop the ice maker, lift the wire signal arm until it clicks and locks in the

ICE MAKER TIPS
,, Ice cubes stored too long may develop an odd flavor. Empty the ice container and ensure that the wire signal arm is
in its "down" or ON position. The ice maker will then produce more ice.
,, Occasionally shake the ice container to keep ice separated.
• Keep thewiresignalarm in its"up" orOFF position until therefdgeratorisconnectedtothewatersupplyorwhenever
the water supply is turned off.
The following sounds are normal when the ice maker is operating:
,, Motor running
,, Iceloosening from tray
Ice dropping into ice container
,, Running water
,, Watervalve opening or closing
Do Not place the ice container in y0ur dishwasher.
Wash the ice container in warm water with mild detergent. Rinse well and dry.
,, Stop the ice maker when cleaning the freezer and during vacations.
If the ice maker will be turned off for a long period of time, turn the water supply valve to the closed position.
15
FOODSTORAGEIDEAS
Fresh Food Storage
,, The fresh food compartment should be kept between 34° Fand 40° Fwith an optimum temperature of 37" R
* Avoid overcrowding the refrigerator shelves. This reduces the circulation of air around the food and results in uneven
cooling.
Fruits and Yegetab/es
o Storage in the crisper drawers traps moisture to help preserve the fruit and vegetable quality for longer time periods.
Meat
Raw meat and poultry, should be wrapped securely so leakage and contamination of other foods or surfaces does not
OCCUR
Frozen Food Storage
,, The freezer compartment should be kept at 0° F or lower.
,, A freezer operates most efficiently when it is at least 2/3 full.
Packaging Foods for Freezing
To minimize dehydration and quality, deterioration, use aluminum foil, freezer wrap, freezer bags or airtight containers.
Force as much air out of the packages as possible and seal them tightly. Trapped air can cause food to dry,out,
change color, and develop an off-flavor (freezer burn).
,, Wrap fresh meats and poultry with suitable freezer wrap prior to freezing.
,, Do not refreeze meat that has completely thawed.
Loading the Freezer
,, Avoid adding too much warm food to the freezer at one time. This overloads the freezer, slows the rate of freezing,
and can raise the temperature of frozen foods.
,, Leave a space between the packages, so cold air can circulate freely, allowing food to freeze as quickly as possible.
,, Avoid storing hard-to-freeze foods such as ice cream and orange juice on the freezer door shelves. These foods are
best stored in the freezer interior where the temperature varies less.
ENERGY SAVING IDEAS

NOTE:R!gidf0am!nsulationiSveryenergyefflc!ent_
but isnotasoundinsulator.
A. Evaporator
The flow of refrigerant through the evaporator may
create a boiling or gurgling sound.
B. Evaporator Fan
You may hear air being forced through the refrigerator
by the evaporator fan.
C. Defrost Heater
During defrost cycles, water dripping onto the defrost
heater may cause a hissing or sizzling sound. After
defrosting, a popping sound may occur.
iMPORTANT: During the automatic defrost cycle, you
may notice a red g!ow in the vents onthe bacKwal! of
your freez÷r compartment. This is normal during the
defrost oyc!e,
Do Automatic ice Maker
If your refrigerator is equipped with an automatic ice
maker, you will hear ice cubes falling into the ice bin.
Eo Cold Centre/_ Defrost Timer
These parts can produce a snapping or clicking sound
when turning the refrigerator on and off. The timer also
produces sounds similar to an electric clock.
F. Condenser Fan
If condenser coils are located underneath your
refrigerator as shown in the drawing at the left, you
have a condenser fan. You may hear air being forced
through the condenser by the condenser fan.
Go Compressor
Modern, high-efficiency compressors operate much
faster than older models. The compressor may have a
high-pitched hum or pulsating sound.
H. Water Valve
If your refrigerator is equipped with an automatic ice
maker, you will hear a buzzing sound as the water valve
opens to fill the ice maker during each cycle.
L Drain Pan (Nonremovable)
You may hear water running into the drain pan during
the defrost cycle. The drain pan will be located on top
of the compressor for air-cooled condensers (black coils
on back of refrigerator).

Tips and Precautions
Use 2 tablespoons of baking soda in 1 quart of warm water. Be sure to
wring excess water out of sponge or cloth before cleaning around
controls, light bulb or any electrical part.
Wipe gaskets with a clean soft cloth.
Do not wash any removable items (bins, drawers, etc.) in dishwasher.
Allow glass to warm to room temperature before immersing in warm
water.
Vacuum dust from front of toe grille. Remove toe grille (See illustration on
page 4). Vacuum backside and wipe with sudsy cloth or sponge. Rinse
and dry.
Do not use commercial household cleaners, ammonia, or alcohol to clean
handles.
Clean stainless steel front and handles with soapy water. Use ammonia
on stubborn spots. Use a non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner. These
cleaners can be purchased at most home improvement or major
department stores.
No need to clean unless operating refrigerator under particularly dusty or
greasy conditions, or if there is significant pet traffic in your home. If
cleaning is necessary, remove toe grille and use extended vacuum
attachment and condenser cleaning brush to remove dust build-up from
condenser coils (see item "J" in illustration on page 17 for location).
Use the dusting tool attachment on your vacuum to remove dust build-up
on the condenser coils (black tubes and wires) attached to the back of air-
cooled refrigerators only.
Soap and water Some models have defrost water pan located on top of compressor at
bottom rear of refrigerator (see illustration on next page). Wipe water pan
with damp cloth. NOTE: The defrost water pan is NOT removable.
