IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
CFC DISPOSAL
Old refrigeration products have
cooling systems that used CFCs
(chlorofluorocarbons). CFCs are
believed to harm stratospheric ozone.
If you are throwing away an old
refrigeration product, make sure the CFC
refrigerant is removed for proper disposal
by a qualified servicer. If you intentionally
release this CFC refrigerant you can be
subject to fines and imprisonment under
provisions of environmental legislation.
wDANGER: RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT
Child entrapment and suffocation are
not problems of the past. Junked or
abandoned refrigeration products are still
dangerous. . . even if they will sit for “just
a few days.” If you are getting rid of your
old appliance, please follow these
instructions to help prevent accidents.
Before You Throw Away Your Old
Refrigeration Product:
• Take off the doors.
• Leave the shelves in place so that children
may not easily climb inside
.
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
w WARNING—When using this appliance,
always exercise basic safety precautions,
including the following:
• Use this appliance only for its intended
purpose as described in this Use and
Care Guide.
• This refrigerator must be properly
installed in accordance with the
Installation Instructions before it is used.
• Do not allow children to climb, stand or
hang on the shelves in the refrigerator.
They could damage the refrigerator and
seriously injure themselves.
• After your refrigerator is in operation, do
not touch the cold surfaces in the freezer
compartment, particularly when hands
are damp or wet. Skin may adhere to these
extremely cold surfaces.
• Do not store or use gasoline or other
flammable vapors and liquids in the
vicinity of this or any other appliance.
• If your refrigerator has an automatic
icemaker, avoid contact with the moving
parts of the ejector mechanism, or with
the heating element that releases the
cubes. Do not place fingers or hands on
the automatic icemaking mechanism
while the refrigerator is plugged in.
• Unplug your refrigerator before cleaning
and making repairs. NOTE: We strongly
recommend that any servicing be
performed by a qualified individual.
• Before replacing a burned-out light bulb,
the refrigerator should be unplugged in
order to avoid contact with a live wire
filament. (A burned-out light bulb may
break when being replaced.) NOTE:
Turning control to “0” does not remove
power to the light circuit.
• Do not refreeze frozen foods which have
thawed completely.
wDANGER! RISQUES POUR LES ENFANTS
Les enfants pris au piège ou morts d’asphyxie
sont toujours d’actualité. Les appareils de
réfrigération abandonés sont toujours aussi
dangereux, même si on n’attend que “quelque
jours” pour s’en débarasser. Si vous ne gardez
pas votre ancien appareil, veuillez suivre les
directives ci-dessous afin de prévenir les
accidents.
Avant de vous débarasser de votre vieux
appareil de réfrigération:
• Démontez les portes.
• Laissez les clayettes en place afin d’empêcher
les enfants de grimper à l’intérieur.
SE DÉBARRASSER DU CFC
Les vieux appareils de réfrigération ont un
système de refroidissement qui a utilisé les CFC
(chlorofluorocarbones). Les CFCs sont jugés
nocifs pour l’ozone stratosphérique.
Si vous débarrassez de votre viel appareil de
réfrigération, assurez-vous que le frigorigène
avec CFC soit enlevé correctement par un
technicien qualifié. Si vous libérez
intentionnellement ce frigogène avec CFC
vouz pouvez être soumis aux contraventions
et à l’emprisonnement après les stipulations
des lois sur l’environment.
IMPORTANTES INSTRUCTIONS DE SÉCURITÉ

AVERTISSEMENT : Lorsque vous
utilisez le réfrigérateur, observez
toujours certaines précautions de base,
notamment:
• N’utilisez le réfrigérateur que pour son
usage prévu, comme décrit dans le
présent guide.
• Installez le réfrigérateur conformément
aux directives d’installation avant de
l’utiliser.
• Ne laissez pas les enfants grimper,
s’asseoir, se tenir debout ni se pendre
aux clayettes du réfrigérateur. Ils
pourraient endommager le réfrigérateur
et se blesser gravement.
• Une fois le réfrigérateur en marche, ne
touchez pas les surfaces froides du
congélateur, surtout si vous avez les
mains humides ou mouillées : la peau
risque d’adhérer à ces surfaces très
froides.
• N’entreposez et n’utilisez pas d’essence
ou autres vapeurs et liquides
inflammables à proximité de cet appareil
ou de tout autre appareil
électroménager.
• Si votre réfrigérateur est doté d’une
machine à glaçons automatique, évitez le

HOW TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or
remove the third (ground) prong from the
power cord. For personal safety, this
appliance must be properly grounded.
The power cord of this appliance is
equipped with a 3-prong (grounding)
plug which mates with a standard 3-prong
(grounding) wall outlet to minimize the
possibility of electric shock hazard from
this appliance.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked
by a qualified electrician to make sure the
outlet is properly grounded.
Where a standard 2-prong wall outlet
is encountered, it is your personal
responsibility and obligation to have it
replaced with a properly grounded
3-prong wall outlet.
The appliance should always be plugged
into its own individual electrical outlet
which has a voltage rating that matches
the rating plate. This provides the best
performance and also prevents
overloading house wiring circuits
which could cause a fire hazard from
overheated wires.
Never unplug an appliance by pulling
on the power cord. Always grip the
plug firmly and pull straight out from
the outlet.
Repair or replace immediately all power
cords that have become frayed or
otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord
that shows cracks or abrasion damage
along its length or at either end.
When moving the appliance, be careful
not to roll over or damage the power cord.
Because of potential safety hazards
under certain conditions, we strongly
recommend against the use of an
adapter plug.
However, if you must use an adapter,
where local codes permit, a temporary
connection may be made to a properly
grounded 2-prong wall outlet by use of a
UL-listed adapter available at most local
hardware stores.
The larger slot in the adapter must be
aligned with the larger slot in the wall
outlet to provide proper polarity in the
connection of the power cord.
When disconnecting the power cord from
the adapter, always hold the adapter in
place with one hand while pulling the
power cord plug with the other hand.
If this is not done, the adapter ground
terminal is very likely to break with
repeated use.
If the adapter ground terminal breaks, DO
NOT USE the appliance until a proper
ground has been established.
Attaching the adapter ground terminal to
a wall outlet cover screw does not ground
the appliance unless the cover screw is
metal, and not insulated, and the wall
outlet is grounded through the house
wiring. You should have the circuit
checked by a qualified electrician to make
sure the outlet is properly grounded.
Use of an adapter plug will increase
the clearance needed for the back of
the appliance
.

RACCORDEMENT ÉLECTRIQUE
Ne coupez ni retirez en aucun cas la
troisième broche (mise à la terre) de la
fiche du cordon d’alimentation. Pour
votre sécurité, cet appareil doit être
correctement mis à la terre.
Le cordon d’alimentation de cet appareil
est muni d’une fiche à 3 broches (mise à la
terre) qui se branche dans une prise mural
ordinaire à 3 alvéoles (mise à la terre)
pour réduire au minimum les risques du
chocs électriques.
Faites examiner la prise de courant et le
circuit par un électricien qualifié pour
vous assurer que la prise est correctement
mise à la terre.
Si la prise murale est du type standard
à 2 alvéoles, il vous incombe de la faire
remplacer par une prise à 3 alvéoles
correctement mise à la terre.
La machine à glaçons doit toujours être
branché dans sa propre prise de courant,
dont la tension nominale est identique à
celle indiquée sur la plaque signalétique.
Cette précaution est recommandée pour
garantir un rendement optimum et éviter
une surcharge des circuits électriques de la
résidence, ce qui pourrait créer un risque
d’incendie par surschauffe des fils.
Ne débranchez jamais l’appareil en
tirant le cordon d’alimentation.
Saisissez fermement la fiche du cordon
et tirez droit pour la retirer de la prise.
Réparez ou remplacez immédiatement
tout cordon effiloché ou endommagé.
N’utilisez pas un cordon fendillé ou
présentant des signes d’usure.
Lorsque vous déplacez l’appareil du mur,
faites attention de ne pas la faire rouler sur
le cordon d’alimentation afin de ne pas
l’endommager.
FICHE D’ADAPTATION (Fiches d’adaptation non permises au Canada)
Toutefois, si vous décidez d’utiliser tout
de même une fiche d’adaptation, vous
pouvez effectuer un raccordement
temporaire, si les codes locaux le
permettent, dans une prise de courant
à 2 alvéoles adéquatement mise à la terre
en utilisant une fiche d’adaptation
homologuée UL, en vente dans la plupart
des quincailleries.
La fente la plus longue de la fiche doit
être alignée avec la fente la plus longue
de la prise murale afin d’assurer la polarité
appropriée pour le branchement du
cordon d’alimentation.
Lorsque vous débranchez le cordon
d’alimentation de la fiche d’adaptation,
saisissez toujours la fiche d’une main
pendant que vous tirez sur la fiche du
cordon d’alimentation de l’autre.
Sinon, la borne de mise à la terre de la
fiche d’adaptation risque de casser avec
le temps.
Si la borne de mise à la terre de la fiche
casse, N’UTILISEZ PAS l’appareil tant
qu’une mise à la terre adéquate n’aura pas
été rétablie.
Le fait de fixer la borne de mise à la
terre de la fiche d’adaptation à la plaque
de la prise de courant n’assure pas
automatiquement la mise à la terre
de l’appareil. Il faut que la vis soit en
métal, non isolée, et que la prise de
courant soit mise à la terre par l’entremise
du câblage de résidence. Faites vérifier le
circuit par un électricien qualifié pour
vous assurer que la prise est adéquatement
mise à la terre.
Nous vous recommandons fortement de ne pas utiliser une fiche d’adaptation à cause des risques potentiels
qu’elle présente dans certaines circonstances.

USE OF EXTENSION CORDS
Because of potential safety hazards
under certain conditions, we strongly
recommend against the use of an
extension cord.
However, if you must use an extension
cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a
UL-listed, 3-wire grounding type appliance
extension cord having a grounding type
plug and outlet and that the electrical
rating of the cord be 15 amperes
(minimum) and 120 volts.

CORDONS PROLONGATEURS
Nous vous recommandons fortement de
ne pas utíliser de cordons prolongateurs
à cause des risques potentiels qu’ils
présentent dans certaines conditions.
Toutefois si vous décidez d’utiliser tout
de même un cordon prolongateur, il est
absolument nécessaire qu’il s’agisse d’un
cordon à 3 fils avec mise à la terre pour
appareils électroménagers homologué
UL (aux États-Unis) ou homologué CSA
(au Canada), pourvu d’une fiche et d’une
prise mises à la terre de 15 ampères
(minimum) et de 120 volts.

(appearance
may vary)
The temperature controls let you regulate
the temperature in the fresh food and
freezer compartments.
At first, set both the Fresh Food and Freezer
control at “5.”
Allow 24 hours for the temperature to
stabilize, whether you are setting the
controls for the first time or adjusting them
later. Then, if you want colder or warmer
temperatures in either compartment,
adjust the controls one step at a time.
NOTE: Moving the Freezer control to “0”
turns off cooling in both compartments—
fresh food and freezer—but does not shut
off power to the refrigerator.
How to test
temperatures
Use the milk test for the fresh food
compartment. Place a container of milk
on the top shelf in the fresh food
compartment. Check it a day later. If the
milk is too warm or too cold, adjust the
temperature controls.
Use the ice cream test for the freezer
compartment. Place a container of ice
cream in the center of the freezer
compartment. Check it after a day.
If it is too hard or too soft, adjust the
temperature controls.
Always allow 24 hours for the refrigerator
to reach the temperature you set.

Stainless Steel Refrigerator
Automatic
icemaker
(on some models)
A newly-installed refrigerator may take 8 to
12 hours to begin making ice.
The icemaker will produce eight cubes per
cycle—approximately 120 cubes in a 24-hour
period, depending on freezer compartment
temperature, room temperature, number
of door openings and other use conditions.
If the refrigerator is operated before the
water connection is made to the icemaker,
raise the ice access door and make sure the
feeler arm is in the STOP (up) position.
When the refrigerator has been connected
to the water supply, move the feeler arm to
the ON (down) position.
The icemaker will fill with water when it
cools to freezing. A newly-installed
refrigerator may take 8 to 12 hours to begin
making ice cubes.
Throw away the first few batches of ice to
allow the water line to clear.
Be sure nothing interferes with the swing of
the feeler arm.
It is normal for several cubes to be joined
together.
If ice is not used frequently, old ice cubes
will become cloudy and taste stale
.

Important
facts about
your ice
& water
dispenser
• Add ice before filling the glass with a
beverage. This will prevent splashing,
which could cause the ice selector switch to
stick or bind.
• Do not add ice from trays or bags to the
storage bin. It may not crush or dispense
well.
• Avoid overfilling glass with ice and use of
narrow or extra-tall glasses. Backed-up ice
can jam the chute or cause the door in the
chute to freeze shut. If ice is blocking the
chute, poke it through with a wooden
spoon.
• Beverages and foods should not be quick-
chilled in the ice storage bin. Cans, bottles
or food packages in the storage bin may
cause the icemaker or auger to jam.
• Some crushed ice may be dispensed
even though you selected CUBES. This
happens occasionally when a few cubes
accidentally get directed to the crusher.
• After crushed ice is dispensed, some
water may drip from the chute.
• Sometimes a mound of snow will
form on the door in the ice chute.
This condition is normal and usually
occurs when you have dispensed
crushed ice repeatedly. The snow
will eventually evaporate.
• Dispensed water is not ice cold. For
colder water, simply add crushed ice or
cubes before dispensing water.

The Convertible Drawer has its own cold
air duct to allow a stream of cold air from
the freezer compartment to flow around
the drawer.
The variable temperature control regulates
the air flow from the freezer compartment.
Set control lever down to the coldest
setting to store fresh meats. If the lever
is left in the coldest position for a long
period of time, some frost may form on
the inside of the drawer.
Set control lever up to convert the drawer

Drawer
removal
Drawers can easily be removed by tilting up
slightly and pulling past stop location.
Remove the door bins from the fresh food
door before removing the drawer.
To remove the shelf above the top drawer,
first remove the top drawer and any food on
the shelf. Then tilt the shelf up at the front
and lift it up and out of the tracks.
To replace the shelf, raise the shelf front
slightly and place the top hooks in the
lowest large track slots. Then lower the
front of the shelf until it is level.
To remove the drawers when the fresh food
compartment door cannot be opened fully
you need to roll the refrigerator forward
until the door can be fully opened. In some
cases this will require moving the
refrigerator to the left as you roll it out.
When replacing the drawers, make sure you slide

Cleaning
outside
The dispenser well (on some models),
beneath the grille, should be wiped dry.
Water left in the well may leave deposits.
Remove the deposits by adding undiluted
vinegar to the well. Soak until the deposits
disappear or become loose enough to rinse
away.
The dispenser pad can be cleaned by using
a warm water and baking soda
solution—about a tablespoon (15 ml) of
baking soda to a quart (1 l) of water. Rinse
thoroughly with water and wipe dry.
The stainless steel panels and door handles
can be cleaned with a commercially
available stainless steel cleaner using a
clean, soft cloth.
Do not use appliance wax or polish on the
stainless steel.
Cleaning
inside
To help prevent odors,
leave an open box of baking
soda in the fresh food and
freezer compartments.
Unplug the refrigerator
before cleaning. If this is
not practical, wring excess
moisture out of sponge or cloth when
cleaning around switches, lights or
controls.
Use warm water and baking soda solution—
about a tablespoon (15 ml) of baking soda
to a quart (1 l) of water. This both cleans
and neutralizes odors. Rinse and wipe dry.
After cleaning the door gaskets, apply a
thin layer of petroleum jelly to the door
gaskets at the hinge side. This helps keep
the gaskets from sticking and bending out
of shape.
Drain opening in freezer
compartment. During
yearly cleaning, remove
bottom freezer basket and
flush a solution of baking
soda—1 teaspoon (5 ml)
and 2 cups (500 ml) of hot
(not boiling) water—
through the drain
line with the help of a meat baster. This
will help eliminate odor and reduce the
likelihood of a clogged drain line. If drain
becomes clogged, use a meat baster and
baking soda solution to force the clog
through the drain line.
Avoid cleaning cold glass shelves (on
some models) with hot water because
the extreme temperature difference
may cause them to break. Handle glass
shelves carefully. Bumping tempered
glass can cause it to shatter.
Do not wash any plastic refrigerator parts
in the dishwasher.
Care and Cleaning
Stainless Steel Refrigerator
19
Under
refrigerator
For most efficient operation, you need to
keep the area under the refrigerator clean.
Remove the base grille and either sweep
away or vacuum up dust that is readily
accessible. For best results, use a brush
specially designed for this purpose. It is
available at most appliance parts stores.
This easy cleaning operation should be
done at least once a year.
To remove the base grille, open both
doors, grasp the bottom of the grille
and pull it out.
To replace base grille, line up the clips on
the back of the grille with the openings in
the base plate and push the grille forward
until it snaps into place.
Clean the condenser coils
at least once a year.
Behind
refrigerator
Care should be taken in moving your
refrigerator away from the wall. All types
of floor coverings can be damaged,
particularly cushioned coverings and
those with embossed surfaces. Pull the
refrigerator straight out and return it
to position by pushing it straight in.
Moving your refrigerator in a side
direction may result in damage to your
floor covering or refrigerator.
When pushing the refrigerator back, make
sure you don’t roll over the power cord or
icemaker supply line (on some models).
Preparing
for vacation
For long vacations or absences, remove
food and unplug the refrigerator. Move
the control to “0,” and clean the interior
with a baking soda solution of one
tablespoon (15 ml) of baking soda to one
quart (1 l) of water. Leave the doors open.
Move the icemaker feeler arm (on some
models) to the STOP (up) position and
shut off the water supply to the
refrigerator.
If the temperature can drop below
freezing, have a qualified servicer drain the
water supply system (on some models) to
prevent serious property damage due to
flooding.
Preparing
to move
Secure all loose items such as grille, shelves
and drawers by taping them securely in
place to prevent damage.
Be sure the refrigerator stays in an upright
position during moving.
20
Light bulb
replacement
Turning the control to “0” does not remove
power to the light circuit.
Fresh Food Compartment–Upper Light
1 Unplug refrigerator.
2 Pull off the temperature control knobs.
3 Pull bottom of the light shield down and
forward, then rotate the top up and off.
4 After replacing with an appliance bulb of
the same or lower wattage, reinstall the
light shield, put the knobs back on and
plug the refrigerator back in.
Fresh Food Compartment–Two Lower
Lights (on some models)
These lights are located behind the top
drawer.
1 Unplug the refrigerator and remove the
top drawer and cover.
2 Grasp the bottom edge of the shield and
pull forward and up to free its bottom
edge.
3 After replacing with an appliance bulb
of the same or lower wattage, replace the
shield, drawer and cover and plug the
refrigerator back in.
Freezer Compartment
1 Unplug the refrigerator.
2 Remove the shelf just below light shield.
(The shelf will be easier to remove if it is
emptied first.)
3 Pull the light shield toward you to reach
the bulb.
4 After replacing with an appliance bulb
of the same or lower wattage, reinstall
the light shield and the shelf and plug
the refrigerator back in.
Preparation
Stainless Steel Refrigerator
Rollers
The rollers have 3 purposes:
1.Rollers adjust so the door closes easily
when opened about halfway. [Raise the
front about 5/8″(15 mm) from the
floor.]
To assure that the doors will close
automatically from a halfway open position,
there is a built-in tilt from the front to the
back of the cabinet. Side-by-side
refrigerators also have specially designed
door hinges that lift both doors slightly
when opened, allowing the force of gravity
to help close them securely.
2.Rollers adjust so the refrigerator is firmly
positioned on the floor and does not
wobble.
3.Rollers allow you to move the refrigerator
away from the wall for cleaning.
To adjust the rollers, remove the base grille
by pulling it out at the bottom.
Turn the roller adjusting screws clockwise
to raise the refrigerator, counterclockwise
to lower it. Use an adjustable wrench (3/8″
hex head bolt) or pliers.
To replace base grille, align prongs on back
of grille with clamps in cabinet and push
forward until grille snaps into place.
Refrigerator
location
Do not install refrigerator where
temperature will be below 60°F (16°C)
because it will not run often enough to
maintain proper temperatures.
Do install it on a floor strong enough to
support a fully loaded refrigerator.
Clearances
Allow the following clearances for ease
of installation, proper air circulation,
plumbing and electrical connections.
Sides . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .5/8″(15 mm)
Top . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .1″(25 mm)
Back . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .1″ (25 mm)
If the refrigerator is against a wall on
either side, allow 1
1
/
2
″(38 mm) for
door clearances.
Water supply
to icemaker
(on some models)
If your refrigerator has an icemaker, it will
have to be connected to a cold water line.
A water supply kit (containing copper
tubing, shutoff valve, fittings and
instructions) is available at extra cost from
your dealer or from Parts and Accessories,
800-626-2002.
There should be sufficient tubing for the
icemaker from the cold water supply to
allow you to move the refrigerator out
from the wall several feet [approximately
8 feet (244 cm) of 1/4″copper tubing in
three 10-inch (25 cm) diameter coils].

The Problem Solver
Stainless Steel Refrigerator
Normal
operating
sounds
These sounds are normal and are due
mostly to highly efficient operation.
Depending on the placement of the
refrigerator in your kitchen, you may want
to place a piece of rubber backed carpet
under the refrigerator to reduce noise.
The new high efficiency compressor runs
faster and will have a higher pitch hum or
pulsating sound while operating.
Defrost timer and refrigerator control click
on and off.
The fan circulating air inside the freezer
which keeps the temperatures throughout.
Water dropping on the defrost heater
causing a sizzling, hissing or popping sound
during the defrost cycle.
The flow of refrigerant through the freezer
cooling coils sounds like boiling water or a
gurgling noise.
Cracking or popping of cooling coils caused
by expansion and contraction during
defrost and refrigeration following defrost.
Water dripping as it melts from the evaporator
and flows to the drain pan during the
defrost cycle.
Icemaker (on some models)
The icemaker water valve will buzz when the
icemaker fills with water. If the feeler arm is
in the ON (down) position it will buzz even
if it has not yet been hooked up to water.
Keeping the feeler arm in the ON (down)
position before it is hooked up to water can
damage the icemaker. To prevent this, raise
the feeler arm to the STOP (up) position.
This will stop the buzzing.
The sound of cubes dropping into
the bin and water running in pipes
as icemaker refills.
