USING THE REFRIGERATOR: Crispers
CRISPERS AND CRISPER COVER
To remove and install the crisper:
1. Grip the crisper firmly and slide out completely.
2. Replace the crisper by placing the crisper properly in
position and gently sliding it back into place.
Your refrigerator may be equipped with a slide control to
raise or lower the humidity levels or your crispers. This
feature will increase the storage life of your fruits and
vegetables. Simply adjust the controls to the appropriate
setting for items you are storing in the crispers. Low
settings allow moist air to exit the crisper, for optimum
storage of fruit and/or vegetables that have skins. High
settings retains moist air in the crisper, for optimum
storage of leafy fresh vegetables.
REMOVING OR REPLACING THE CRISPER
COVER
1. Carefully grasp the crisper cover and slide out to
remove.
2. To replace, slide the rear of the crisper cover into the
right and left slots above the crisper area and gently
slide back into place.

Care and Cleaning
CARE AND CLEANING
NOTE: Before using any cleaning products, be sure to
read the manufacturer’s instructions and warnings. This
will help avoid personal injury or damage to property.
INTERIOR CLEANING
Prepare a cleaning solution of 3-4 tablespoons of baking

dampened with the cleaning solution, to wipe the inside of
your refrigerator.
Do not use harsh chemicals, ammonia, chlorine bleach,
concentrated detergent, solvents, abrasives or metal
scouring pads to clean your refrigerator, inside or out.
They can damage and/or discolor the refrigerator finish.
EXTERIOR CLEANING

soft towel to dry.
For stainless steel models, use a dry cloth and stainless
steel polish.
Door gaskets should be cleaned every three months
following the instructions for interior cleaning. Clean
gaskets will maintain a better seal than dirty gaskets.
Lightly apply petroleum jelly to the hinge side of the
gaskets to keep the gasket pliable and assure a good
seal.
Never use a dirty cloth to clean the exterior of the
refrigerator. Dirty cloths may leave residue on the
refrigerator that can damage the finish. Also, avoid the
use of harsh chemicals, ammonia, chlorine bleach,
concentrated detergent, solvents, abrasives or metal
scouring pads to clean the outside of the refrigerator.
LED LIGHTING REPLACEMENT
POWER INTERRUPTIONS
In the event of a power interruption, unplug your
refrigerator from the power source. Avoid opening
the doors until after power has been restored. Your
refrigerator will maintain a cold temperature for longer if
door opening is avoided or kept to a minimum.
Once power has been restored, plug your refrigerator
back into the power source and inspect food in the
refrigerator for spoilage or thawing. Cleaning your
refrigerator after a prolonged power outage is strongly
recommended to avoid odors and potential health

LEA Y GUARDE ESTAS INSTRUCCIONES
Nunca, bajo ninguna circunstancia, corte o elimine el tercer cable (tierra) del cable de corriente. Para su seguridad
personal, este electrodoméstico debe estar adecuadamente conectado a tierra.
El cable de corriente de este electrodoméstico contiene un
enchufe de 3 cables (conexión a tierra) que se conecta a un
tomacorriente de pared estándar de 3 cables (conexión a
tierra) para minimizar la posibilidad de riesgos de descargas
eléctricas por parte del mismo.
Contrate a un electricista calificado para que controle el
tomacorriente y el circuito eléctrico, a fin de asegurar que el
enchufe esté correctamente conectado a tierra.
En caso de contar con un tomacorriente de pared de 2
cables, es su responsabilidad y obligación reemplazarlo
por un tomacorriente de pared de 3 cables correctamente
conectado a tierra. No use un adaptador.
El refrigerador debería estar siempre conectado a un enchufe
específico con un índice de voltaje equivalente al que figura
en su etiqueta de características técnicas.
Se requiere un suministro eléctrico con fusible y conexión
a tierra de 115 voltios de CA, 60 Hz, 15 o 20 amperes.
Esto garantiza el mejor funcionamiento y además previene
la sobrecarga de los circuitos del hogar, lo cual podría
ocasionar riesgos de incendio debido al recalentamiento de
cables.
Nunca desenchufe el refrigerador tirando del cable de
corriente. Siempre tome su enchufe firmemente y empuje el
mismo hacia afuera para retirarlo.
Repare o reemplace de inmediato todos los cables de
corriente pelados o con cualquier tipo de daño. No use
un cable con cortaduras o abrasión sobre su extensión o
extremos.
Al alejar el refrigerador de la pared, se deberá tener cuidado
de que no ruede sobre ni dañe el cable de corriente.
ADVERTENCIA RIESGO DE DESCARGA ELÉCTRICA
Enchufe en un tomacorriente con conexión a tierra de 3 cables.
No elimine el cable de conexión a tierra.
No use un adaptador.
No use un prolongador.
Si no se siguen estas instrucciones se podrá producir a muerte, incendios o descargas eléctricas.
ADVERTENCIA PELIGRO DE SUFFOCATION Y ENTRAPMENT
El incumplimiento de estas instrucciones de eliminación puede causar la muerte o lesiones graves.
IMPORTANTE: Que un niño quede atrapado o que sufra
una asfixia no son problemas del pasado. Los refrigeradores
antiguos o abandonados aún son peligrosos, incluso aunque
