FEATURES AT A GLANCE

Temperature Controls

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 it with food.

TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT

• After 24 hours, adjust the controls as needed. Adjust temperatures 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 wilI 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.

TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT GUIDE

Looking Inside

LOOKING INSIDE

CAUTION

To avoid personal injury or property damage, handle tempered glass shelves carefully. Shelves may break suddenly if nicked, scratched, or exposed to sudden temperature change.

SHELF ADJUSTMENT

Refrigerator shelves are easily adjusted to suit individual needs. Before adjusting the shelves, remove all food.

To adjust sliding shelves:

1. Remove shelf by pulling forward to stop position.
2. Lift front edge up and pull out.

Replace the shelf on any pair of rails by reversing this procedure.

NOTE

Cantilever shelves are supported at the back of the refrigerator. Cantilever shelves are available in either glass or wire.

1. Lift front edge up.
2. Pull shelf out.

Replace the shelf by inserting the hooks at rear of the shelf into the wall bracket. Lower the shelf into the desired slots and lock into position.

SpillSafeTM glass shelves (some models) catch and hold accidental spills. In some models, the SpillSafeTM shelves slide out for easy access to food and for fast cleaning. The shelves slide out independently of the cantilever brackets. Just pull the front of the shelf forward. The shelf can be extended as far as the stopper will allow but it is not removable from the cantilever bracket.

DOOR STORAGE

Door bins, shelves, and racks are provided for convenient storage of jars, bottles, and cans. Frequently used items can be quickly selected.

Some models have door racks or bins that can accommodate gallon-sized plastic drink containers and economy-sized jars and containers. Some racks are adjustable for maximum storage capacity.

The dairy compartment, which is warmer than the general food storage section, is intended for short term storage of cheese, spreads, or butter.

ADJUSTABLE DOOR BINS

Some models have adjustable door bins that can be moved to suit individual needs.

To move door bins

1. Lift bin straight up.
2. Remove bin.
3. Place bin in desired position.
4. Lower bin onto supports until locked in place.

TALL BOTTLE RETAINER (SOME MODELS)

The Tall Bottle Retainer keeps tall containers in the bin from falling forward when opening or closing the refrigerator door.

To install, hold the retainer at the top, and slide it over the outside wall of the bin, as shown in the diagram. The Tall Bottle Retainer works best with a Bin Snugger.

SPECIAL ITEM RACK (SOME MODELS)

The innovative design of the Special Item Rack allows you to store a six-pack of 12 ounce drink cans, a bottle of wine, a two-liter soft drink bottle, or a carton of eggs. The Special Item Rack mounts on the left side of your refrigerator. To install, just slide the Special Item Rack onto any shelf as shown in the drawing.

CRISPERS (SOME MODELS)

The crispers, located under the bottom refrigerator shelf, are designed for storing fruits, vegetables, and other fresh produce. Wash items in clear water and remove excess water before placing them in the crispers. Items with strong odors or high moisture content should be wrapped before storing.

HUMIDITY CONTROL (SOME MODELS)

The Humidity Control, present on some models with crisper drawers, allows you to adjust the humidity within the crisper. This can extend the life of fresh vegetables that keep best in high humidity.

NOTE

Leafy vegetables keep best when stored with the Humidity Control set on High Humidity, or in a drawer without a

Humidity Control. This keeps incoming air to a minimum and maintains maximum moisture content.

DELI DRAWER (SOME MODELS)

Some models are equipped with a Deli Drawer for storage of luncheon meats, spreads, cheeses, and other deli items.

WINE RACK (SOME MODELS)

The Wine Rack stores bottles of wine, or single two-liter plastic bottles of juice or soda pop. To install, slide the Wine Rack onto the shelf with the curve facing in. To remove, slide the Wine Rack out. Install on either side of shelf.

ICE SERVICE

If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker, it will provide a sufficient supply of ice for normal use. During the initial startup of your refrigerator, however, no ice will be produced during the first 24 hours of operation. Automatic ice makers are also optional accessories that may be installed in most models at any time. CalI your Iocal dealer for information. The ice maker produces 2 to 5 pounds of ice every 24 hours depending on usage conditions, ice is produced at a rate of 8 cubes every 80 to 160 minutes.

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 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 is full. 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 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 we!I 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 & Energy Saving Ideas

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 O° 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 refdgerato r in the coolest part ofthe room, oat of direct suniight, 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 Chart on page 19.
• 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.

Normal Operating Sounds & Sights

UNDERSTANDING THE SOUNDS YOU MAY HEAR

Your new high-efficiency refrigerator may make unfamiliar sounds. These are all normal sounds and soon will become familiar to you. They also indicate your refrigerator is operating as designed. Hard surfaces, such as vinyl or wood floors, wails, and kitchen cabinets may make sounds more noticeable.
