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.
Do not use an extension cord or adapter plug.
Ifthe power cord is damaged, it should be replaced by the
manufacturer, service technician or a qualified person to
prevent any risk.
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 wall
switch or pull cord to prevent the refrigerator from being
turned off accidentally.

If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker, it will provide a sufficient
sapply of ice for normal use. During the initial startup of your refrigerator,
however, no ice wilt be produced during thefirst 24 hours of operation. Automatic
ice makers are also optional accessories that may be installed in most models
at any time. Call your local dealer for information.
TURNING YOUR ICE MAKER ON
After the plumbing connections have been completed, the water supply valve
must beopened. Place the icecontainer 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
the cubes produced are free of discoloration and taste.
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 isfull. If your 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 icecontainer 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 tothe 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 _eakage and contamination of other foods or surfaces does not
OCCUE
Frozen Food Storage
The freezer compartment should be kept at 0° F or _ower.
A freezer operates most efficiently when it isat 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 inthe freezer interior where the temperature vades less.
ENERGY SAVING IDEAS
Locate the refrigerator inthe coolestpart ofthe room, out of directsunlight,
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 wil_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 Chart on page 18.
Do not overcrowd the refrigerator or block co_dair 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 dose the door as soon as possible.

UNDERSTANDING THE SOUNDSYOU MAY HEAR
Your new high-efficiency refrigerator may make unfamiliar
sounds.These are all normal sounds and soon will become
familiar toyou.They a_soindicateyour refrigerator isoperating
as designed. Hard surfaces, such as vinyl or wood floors,
walls, and kitchen cabinets may make sounds more
noticeable. Listed below are descriptions of some of the most
common sounds you may hear, and what is causing them.
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.
D.
E.
Automatic Ice Maker
If your refrigerator is equipped with an automatic ice
maker, you will hear ice cubes failing into the ice bin,
Cold Control & Defrost Timer or Automatic
Defrost Control
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.
E Condenser Fan
If condenser coi_sare 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.
G. Compressor
Modern, high-efficiencycompressors operate much
faster than older models,The compressor may have a
high-pitched hum or pulsating sound.
H. Water Valve
[f 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
ofthe compressor for air-cooled condensers (black coils
on back of refrigerator).
