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 instructions below to help prevent accidents.
Before you throw away your old refrigerator/freezer:
Remove doors.
Leave shelves in place so children may not easily climb inside.
Have refrigerant removed by a qualified service technician.
ELECTRICAL INFORMATION
The refrigerator must be plugged into its own dedicated 115 Volt. 60 Hz. AC only electric 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.

TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT
Adjust temperature gradually: move the knob in small increments. allowing the temperature to stabilize.
For colder temperatures. turn the knob towards Colder.
For warmer temperatures. turn the knob towards Cold.
Turning the refrigerator control will change temperatures in both compartments.
For example. if the refrigerator control is turned to a colder setting. the freezer control may have to be adjusted to a warmer setting. Turning the freezer control will change only the freezer temperature.
To maintain temperatures. a fan circulates air in the refrigerator and freezer compartments.
For good circulation. do not block cold air vents with food items.

TURNING YOUR ICE MAKER ON
After the plumbing connections have been completed. the water supply valve must be opened. Place the ice container under the ice maker. pushing it as far back as possible. Lower the wire signal arm to its "down" or ON position. New plumbing connections may cause the first production of ice cubes to be discolored or have an odd flavor. These first cubes should be discarded until
TURNING YOUR ICE MAKER OFF
To stop the ice maker. lift the wire signal arm until it clicks and locks in the "up" or OFF position. The ice maker also turns off automatically when the ice container is full. Ifyour model has an adjustable freezer shelf. place the shelf in the lower position. so that the wire signal arm will hit the ice when the container is full.
Ice Maker
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 the wire signal arm in its "up" or OFF position until the refrigerator is connected to the water supply or whenever the water supply is turned off. The following sounds are normal when the ice maker is operating: Motor running
Ice loosening from tray Ice dropping into ice container
Running water Water valve opening or closing
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.
FOOD STORAGE IDEAS
Fresh Food Storage
The fresh food compartment should be kept between 34° F and 40° F with an optimum temperature of 37° F. Avoid overcrowding the refrigerator shelves. This reduces the circulation of air around the food and results in uneven cooling.
Fruits and Vegetables
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
Locate the refrigerator in the coolest part of the room. out of direct sunlight. and away from heating ducts or registers. Do not place the refrigerator next to heat-producing appliances such as a range. oven. or dishwasher.
If this is not possible. a section of cabinetry or an added layer of insulation between the two appliances will help the refrigerator operate more efficiently. Level the refrigerator so that the doors close tightly. Refer to this Use & Care Manual for the suggested temperature control settings. Periodic cleaning of the condenser will help the refrigerator run more efficiently. See the Care and Cleaning Charton page 18. Do not overcrowd the refrigerator or block cold air vents. Doing so causes the refrigerator to run longer and use more energy. Cover foods and wipe containers dry before placing them in the refrigerator. This cuts down on moisture build-up inside the unit. Organize the refrigerator to reduce door openings. Remove as many items as needed at one time and close the door as soon as possible.
