Before starting the refrigerator, follow these important first steps:
Location
o Choose a place that is near a grounded electrical outlet DO NOT use an
extension cord or an adapter plug
, If possible, place the refrigerator out of direct sunlight and away from the
range, dishwasher or other heat sources
o Tile refrigerator must be installed on a floor that is level and strong enough
to support a fully loaded refrigerator
o Consider water supply availability for models equipped with an automatic
ice maker
Installation
o Do not install the refrigerator where the temperature will drop below 60%
(! 5°C) or riseabove 110% (43°C) The compressor will not be able to maintain
proper temperatures
• Allow space around the unit for good air circulation Leave a 1 inch (25 ram)
space behind and a 3 inch (75 ram) space above the refrigerator for adequate
circulation
o tn a recessedinstallation, allow an extra t/2 inch (t0-15 ram) on each side
for easeof installation
° Forbest circulation, elevate the unit 1 inch (25 mm) from the floor, especially
if the floor iscarpeted,
Door Opening
The doors should open to allow easy accessto a counter when removing food
• Do not position the refrigerator so you have to walk around the refrigerator
doors
Reversethe doors if necessary See "Reversible Door Instructions "
Leveling
All four corners of refrigerator must rest firmly on a solid floor Some models are
equipped with adjustable screwotype Ievelers Others are equipped with rollers If
you refrigerator did not come with rollers, they can be purchased from you dealer
• To adjust screw-type levelers (some models): Tipthe cabinet back slightly,
and raisethe adjusting bolts as needed
o To adjust front rollers (some models): Use a screwdriver, 3/8" socket
wrench, or nutdriver to adjust the roilers asshown
RAISETHE FRONTof the cabinet enough so doors will close freely when opened
halfway Levelthe cabinet side to side
Cleaning
° Wash the inside, all removable parts and the outside with mild detergent and
warm water Wipe dry DO NOT USE HARSH CLEANERS ON THESE
SURFACES,
• Do not use razor blades or other sharp instruments which can scratch the
appliance surface, when removing adhesive tabels Any gtue left from the
_apeor energy label can be removed wittq a mixture of warm water and mild
detergent, or touch the residue with the sticky side of tape already removed
• DO NOT REMOVETHE SERIALPLATE

produong apphances such as a range, oven or dishwasher If this tsnot possible
a section of cabinetry or an added layerof insulation between the two appliances
will help the refrigerator operate more efficiently
o Level the refrigerator so the doors close tightly
. Refer to this Owner's Guide for the suggested refrigerator settings
° Periodic cleaning of the condenser will help the refrigerator run more efficiently
SeeOutside in the "Care and C}eaning" section
• Do not overcrowd the refrigerator or block cold air vents Doing so causes the
refrigerator to run longer and use more energy Shelves should not be lined with
aluminum foil, wax paper or paper toweling Liners interfere with cold air
circulation, making the refrigerator less efficient, which could cause food
spoilage
• Cover foods and wipe containers dry before placing them in the refrigerator This
cuts down on moisture buitd-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

Cool Down Period
To ensure safe food storage, allow the refrigerator to operate with the doors closed
for at least 8 to 12 hours before loading with food
Refrigerator Control
, Set the refrigerator control dial to the midpoint for a trial period of 24 hours
o After 24 hours, adjust the control as needed For colder temperatures, turn the
dial toward COLDEST° Forwarmer temperatures, turn the dial toward COLD.
Adjust temperatures one increment at a time The temperature will increase
or decrease, but not necessarily by t, 2, or 3 degrees,
Freezer Control
Setthe freezer control to the midpoint of the dial for a trial period of 24
hours
• After 24 hours, adjust the control as needed For colder temperatures, turn
the dial a notch toward COLDEST Forwarmer temperatures, turn the dial a
notch toward COLD Adjust temperatures one notch at a time
An adjustment made to one compartment may require an adjustment to the other:
• Turning the refrigerator control will change the temperature in BOTH
compartments If the refrigerator control is turned to OFF, cooling stops
in both compartments,
° Turning the freezer control will change only the temperature in the freezer
compartment
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
Energy Saver Switch (some models)
If your refrigerator isequipped with an Energy SaverSwitch, keep it set on ENERGY
SAVERfor lowest energy usage During humid weather, or if moisture appears on
the cabinet between the doors, set the control to REDUCEEXTERIORMOISTURE A
heater will warm the surface and allow the moisture to evaporate When humidity
lowers, or moisture disappears, return the switch to ENERGYSAVER

Vacation and Moving Tips
Short vacations: Leavethe refrigerator operating du_ingvacations of 1to 3 weeks
Use up all perishable items from the refrigerator section Wrap and store other
items in the freezer If the unit hasan automatic icemaker_turn off the ice maker
Long vacations: Removeall food and ice if you wilt begone ] month or more Turn
the control to OFFand disconnect the power If the unit has an automatic ice
malcer, turn off the ice maker and turn the water supply valve to the closed°_
position Defrost and clean the iqterior thoroughly Leave both doors open to
prevent odor and mold buildup Block open if necessary
Moving: When moving the refrigerator, follow these guidelines to prevent
damage:
• Remove all food and other items from both the refrigerator and freezer
compartments Empty the ice storage bin Defrost and clean the
interior thoroughly
° If a hand truck is used in moving, load the refrigerator from the side
- Turn front rollers asfar up aspossible (some models) This will protect them
during sliding or moving
• The cabinet should be well padded and handled with care DO NOT
DROP°
Automatic Ice Maker
If your refrigerator hasan automatic ice maker, it wil! provide a continuous supply
of ice for normal use The automatic ice maker isan optional accessory which may
be installed in most models at any time Call your local dealer for installation
After the plumbing connections have been completed, the water supply valve must
be opened Place the ice container under the ice maker, pushing It asfar back as
possible Lower the wire signal arm to its "down" or ON position Because of new
plumbing connections, the first production of ice cubes may be discolored or have
an odd flavor. Throw the iceaway until the cubes made are free of discoloration and
taste _ Remember that water quality determines your ice quality tt is
best to connect the ice maker to water that is not softened Chemicals from a
malfunctioning softener can damage the ice maker If the ice maker is connected
to soft water, ensure the softener is maintained and working properly
To stop the ice maker, lift the wire signal arm until it clicks and locks in the "up *'
or OFFposition The icemaker turns off automatically when the ice container isfull
If your model hasan adjustable freezer shelf, place the shelf so the wire signa! arm
will hit the ice when the ice container isfull
Ice Maker Tips
t tce stored too long may develop an odd flavor Empty the container and be sure
the wire signal arm is in its "down" or ON position The ice maker wifl then
produce more ice
2 Occasionally shake the container to keep ice separated
3 Keep the wire signal arm in its "up" or OFFposition until the refrigerator
is connected to the water supply or whenever water supply is turned off
4 Certain sounds are normal when the ice maker is operating. They are:
Motor operation
Ice being loosened from the tray
Ice being dropped into the container
Running water
Water valve opening and closing
For more information on these operations, see "Normal Operating Sounds "
5 Wash ice container in warm water with mild detergent Rinsewell and dry
6 Stop the ice maker when cleaning the freezer or for short vacations
7 tf the ice maker will be turned off for a long period of time, turn the water supply
valve to the closed position
