Important Safety Instructions
,_)k WARNING i When using your appliance, always follow basic precautions, including
the following:
Use the refrigerator only tor its intended purpose.
To prevent possibility of hazard due to electrical shock,
never plug the refrigerator into a receptacle which has
not been grounded adequately and in accord_mce with
the local aud national electrical codes, See the ,_ warn-
ing and grounding insmlctions below.
Unplug the reli'igerator before cleaning or replacing a
light bulb.
In case of power failure, minimize door openings. If the
power failure is of a long duration, protect the food by
placing blocks of d_ ice on top of the packages or check
with a local li'ozeu foods locker about temporary stor-
age. Frozen foods which have thawed completely should
not be refrozen and should be discarded.
Any electrical service cord that hecomes frayed or dam-
aged should be immediately repaired or replaced. Never
unplug your appliance by pulling on the power cord.
Your refrigerator should not be operated in the presence
of explosive li]mes.
Children should not climb, hang or stand on the shelves
o1'this relrigerator.
Important: Child entrapment and suffocation are
not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned
refrigerators are still dangerous.., even if they will
sit for 'just a few days"' If you are getting rid of
your old refrigerator, please follow the instructions
below to help prevent accidents.
• Take off the doo;s.
• Leave the shelves in place so that children may not
easily climb inside.

_k WAFINING I This appliance is designed to operate on a normal 115 volt, 15 amp, 60 cycle
line. There should be a separate, grounded circuit serving this appliance only. Do not use an
extension cord. Do not use any device that will alter the electrical performance of this appliance.
This appliance is equipped with a three-pronged grounding plug for
your protection against possible electrical shock hazards. It must be
plugged into a grounding receptacle. Where a standard two-prong
wail receptacle is encountered, it is the personal responsibility and
obligation of the customer to have it replaced with a properly
grounded three prong wall receptacle. Do not under any circum-
stances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong ti'om the power cord.

/
Your new refrigerator was packed carefully for shipment. Remove and discard shelf packing clips (if used) located just
above each shelf where they hook onto the franle. To remove plas[ic clips wiggle the clips sideways and pull straight out.
Location of Your
Refrigerator
Aliowforafre fl ,_ " "
e or' _f an- throu=h the front base grille.
Install the refrigerator where the room temperature will
not go below 55 ° E With temperatures below 55 °, the
refrigerator will not run frequently enough to maintain
proper temperature in the freezer.
Allow a minimunl 1/2" clearance on the sides, top and
back ti)r ease of installation. If the refrigerator is placed
with the door hinge side against a wall, you may want to
allow additional space so the door can be opened wider.
Use caution when installing the unit on vinyl _)r hard-
wood floors so as not to mark or otherwise damage the
flooring. A piece of plywood, a pug or other material
should be used to protect the Boor while positinning the
unit.
Leveling is Important
To enhance appearance and to maintain optimal perfor-
mance, the refrigerator must be level. Your refi'igerator has
wheels which can be adjusted for leveling:
Remove the lower hinge covers Isee fig. 1), To do this,
grasp each cover near the hinge and apply pressure. The
attachment tabs will snap out, allowing removal of the
covers.
At{just the wheels with a screwdriver (see fig. 2).
To lock the cabinet in place, turn down both
leveling/lock feet, located near Ihe front wheels (see fig,
3). Rear levelingi!ock feet are not required.
Replace the hinge covers.
If the floor is not level and it is necessary to raise the
rear of the cabinet, we suggest rolling the rear wheels
onto a piece of plywood or other shim material.
Energy Saving Tips
• l,ocate the refrigeratnr away from heat producing appli-
ances such as the range or dishwasher, heat vents and
direct sunlight.

Ice Service
Nondispenser Models
The freezer comparlment of your refrigerator is equipped
with ice cube trays and an ice storage bin. The bin is
designed to stack neatly on top of the stacked ice cube
trays, To release the ice cubes from a tray, hold the tray
upside down over the bin and twist both ends.
Your refi'igeratot; is automatic ice maker ready. The number
fer the ice maker kit you need appears on the data plate (see
page 1).
storage bin periodically and wash it in lukewarm water. Be
sure to dry the bin before rep[acing it or the ice cubes will
slick to the metal auger.
"li)check the ice level or gain access to the ice bin, lift open
the door on the ice maker.
To remove the bin, reach under the bin front and pull down
on the back edge. After it snaps free, pull the bin straight
forward. To aw_id the ice maker dumping ice while the bin
is removed, turn the ice maker off by lifting the wire lever,
To replace the ice bin, align the bottom rails to the corre-
sponding shelf grooves and push it straight back until it
stops and latches. Make sure the tabs, at the back of the
bin, that turn the spiral auger are positioned between the
prongs from the auger motor. Turn the ice maker on by
lowering the wire arm.
Beverages and foods should not be placed in the ice storage
bin for quick chilling. These items can block the wire lever
arm, causing the ice maker to malfunction.
Dispenser Models
Automatic Ice Maker
After your refrigerator has been comaected to the water sup-
ply, move the wire lever arm into the down position. This
will start its operation. The ice maker will till with water
when the freezer reaches the proper temperature. It may' be
8 to 12 hours before the ice maker furnishes any usable ice
cubes,
Discard all the cubes from the first two or three batches
made. These initial ice cubes may be iffegularly shaped,
discolored, or contain impurities from the new water supply
piping.
When the ice cubes are ejected it is normal for several cubes
to be joined together at the ends. They can easily be broken
apart. The ice maker will continue to make ice until the sup-
ply"of ice cubes raises the wire lex_erarm, shutting the ice
maker off.
To manually stop the operation of the ice maker, move the
wire lever arm into the up position.
Certain sounds may accompany the variouscycles of the ice
m_er.
• buzzing of the water valve
• running of the water as the tray fills
• rattling of the ice cubes falling into an empty ice bin.
If the ice is not used frequently, the ice cubes will become
cloudy, shrink, stick together and taste stale. Empty the ice
For Your Safety
Do not plaec fingers m" hands on the automatic ice
making meehanism while the refrigerator is plugged
in. This will help proteet you f'rom possible injur)_ It
will also prevent interference with moving parts of the
ejector mechanism and %e heating element that
releases the cubes.
Under certain rare circumstances, ice cubes may be
discolored, usually appearing with a green-bluish hue.
The crease of this unusual discoloration is apparently a
combination of _etors such as eertain dm raeteristies of
loe,d waters, household plumbing and the accumula-
tion of eopper salts in an inaetive water supply line
which feeds the ice maker.
Continued consumption of such discolored ice cubes
may be injurious to health, if such diseo!oratio_ is
obse_ed discard the ice cubes and eontaet your deal-
er from whom the refrigerator was purchased.

Ice Dispensing Tips
• Some crushed ice may be dispensed even though cubed
ice was selected. This happens occasionally when a few
cubes are accidentally channeled into the crasher.
• Likewise. when changing from crushed ice to cubes,
some crushed ice may be dispensed. This may also hap-
pen if irregular sized cubes or ice chips are. in the storage
bin.
• If the ice dispenser is not used frequently, ice cubes may
clump together and may need to be broken apart or dis-
carded.
• A slight pause may be noticed when dispensing crusiaed
ice. This is normal because the ice is being channeled to
the crusher. Crushed ice pieces will vary in size and
shape.
• Do not add ice to the storage bin which was not pro-
duced by your ice maker, it may not crush and/or dis-
pense properly.
• Avoid operating the ice dispenser continuously for more
than five minutes. Simply remove large quantities from
the bin by hand.
• Avoid dispensing ice directly int_ fine china or delicate
crystal. The pressure of pressing against the actuator pad
and the ice dropping into the container can cause crack-
ing or chipping of delicate items.
Water Filter [certain models)
The water filter mounts in the upper flesh food compart-
ment, on the underside of the Twin Fresh" control housing.
Change the filter cartridge every 6 months, or sooner, if
the water flow to the dispenser or icemaker decidedly
decreases or if an objectionable taste or odor returns.
Your reIHgerator was delivered from the factocv with a fil
tcr bypass in place. The filter cartridge can be fnnnd pack-
aged inside of the refrigerator. It can be easily installed
without using any additional parts, screws or fasteners.
Note: The ice and water dispenser and the icemaker
should not be operated unless either the filter bypass or
a filter s in place.

i'f Food Storage Tips
Fresh Food Storage
• The fresh food eompartn_ent of a refrigerator should
be kept between 34°F and 40°F with ml optilmnll tem-
perature of 37°K To check the temperature, place a_
appliance thenuometer in a glass of water and place il_
the center of the refrigerator. Check after 24 hours, if
the temperature is ahme 40°F adjust the controls as
explaiuecl on page 5.
• Avoid overcrowding the refrigerator shelves. This
rednces the eirculation of air around the food and
resnlts in tmeven cooling.
Fruit and Vegetables
• Storage in the crisper drawers traps moisture to help
presen'e the fi'uit and vegetable quality for longer time
periods. (Refer to page 10).
• Snrt fruits and vegetables before storage and use
bruised or soft items first. Discard those showing signs
of decay.
• Ahvays wrap odorous foods such as onim_s and cabbage
so the odor does not transier to other tbods.
• While vegetah]cs m_ed a certain amount of moisture to
remain ffes}L too nmch moisture can shorten storage
tiums (especially lettuce). Drain vegetables well beibre
storing.
Meat and Cheese
• Haw meat amt poultry should be wrapped securely so
leakage and contamination of other tbods or surfilces
does not occur.
• Occasionally mold will develop o_/the snrfiaee of hard
cheeses (Swiss, Cheddar, Parmesan) Cut off at leas! an
inch around and below the moklv area. Keep your
kuitb or instrument out of tile mold'itself, The remain-
ing cheese _dI1 be saib al_d flavorful to eat. Do NOT tU
to save individual cheese slices, soil cheese, cottage
cheese, cream, sour cream or yogurt when mold
appeals.
Frozen Food Storage
• The freezer compartment of a refrigerator should be
kept at 0°F or lower. Te eheek the temperature, place
an appliance thermometer between the frozen pack-
ages and cheek after 24 hours. If the temperature is
above 0°F, adjust the control as described on page 5.
• A freezer operates more efficiently when it is at least
two-thirds thll.
Packaging Foods for Freezing
• To minilnize dehydration and quality deterioration use
ahnuimnn tbi], freezer wrap, freezer bags or airtight
containers Force as mo(h air out ot' the packages as
possible and be sure they are tightly sealed. Trapped _dr
can cause the food to dry out, change color and devel-
op an ot}_-flavor (ti'eezer burn).
• Ovm_vrap fresh meats and poultry with suitable freezer
wrap prior to freezing.
• Do not refreeze meat that has _mpletely thawed.
Loading the Freezer
• AwJid adding too much warm fbod to the freezer at one
time. This o_-erloads the freezer, slows the rate of freez-
ing and can raise the temperature of t)ozen foods.
• Leave space between tl_e packages so cold air can cir-
culate freely; allowing food to freeze as quickly as pos-
sible.
• Avoid storing haM-to-fi'eeze foods such as ice cream
and orange juice on the t)eezer door shelves, These
fbods arc best stored in the freezer interior where the
temperature varies less with door openings.
Refer to the Food Storage Chart on page 9_0 for
approximate storage times.
Dairy Food
• Most dai W fnnds such as milk, yogurt, sore" cream and
cottage cheese have freshness dates on their cartons for
appropriate length of storage. Store these ibods in tim
original carton and refrigerate imuledialely af}er pro-
chasing and each use.
