PROPER DISPOSAL OF YOUR

OLD REFRIGERATOR

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 these instructions to help prevent accidents.

Before You Throw Away Your Old Refrigerator or Freezer:

■ Take off the doors.

■ Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb

inside.

Using the Controls

Your refrigerator has two controls that affect the temperature. The

Temperature control is located at the top front of the refrigerator

compartment and the Airflow control is located on the back wall of the

freezer compartment.

Temperature Control

The Temperature control regulates the coldness of the air flowing into

the compartments.

For your convenience, your refrigerator controls are preset at the

factory. When you first install your refrigerator, make sure that the

controls are still preset to the mid-setting as shown.

NOTE: To turn off your refrigerator, turn the refrigerator control to the

word OFF. Turning the Temperature Control to OFF stops cooling in the

refrigerator and freezer compartments, but it does not disconnect the

refrigerator from the power supply.

Mid-setting “3”

IMPORTANT:

■ Give your refrigerator time to cool down completely before adding

food. It is best to wait 24 hours before you put food into the

refrigerator.

NOTE: Adjusting the Temperature Control to a higher (colder)

setting will not cool the compartments any faster.

■ If you add food before the refrigerator has cooled completely, your

food may spoil.

Adjust the Temperature Control

The mid-settings should be correct for normal household usage. The

controls are set correctly when milk or juice is as cold as you like and

when ice cream is firm.

If the temperature is too warm or too cold in the refrigerator or freezer,

first check the air vents to be sure they are not blocked.

If you need to adjust temperatures, use the settings listed in the chart

below as a guide. On models with two controls, adjust the refrigerator

temperature first. Wait at least 24 hours between adjustments and then

recheck the temperatures.

WARNING

Suffocation Hazard

Remove doors from your old refrigerator.

Failure to do so can result in death or brain damage.

Important information to know about disposal of

refrigerants:

Dispose of refrigerator in accordance with Federal and Local

regulations. Refrigerants must be evacuated by a licensed,

EPA certified refrigerant technician in accordance with

established procedures.
