PROPER DISPOSAL OFYOUR REFRIGERATOR OR
FREEZER
Risk of child entrapment
Child entrapment and suffocation
are not problems of the past.
Junked or abandoned refrigerators
or freezers are still dangerous -
even if they will sit for "just a few
days." If you are getting rid of your
old refrigerator or freezer, please
follow the instructions below to
help prevent accidents.
Before you throw away your old refrigerator/freezer:
,, Remove doors.
,, Leave shelves in place so children may not easily climb
inside.
,, Have refrigerant removed by a qualified service
technician.
ELECTRICAL iNFORMATiON
,The refrigerator must be plugged into its own
dedicated 115 Volt, 60 Nz., 15 Amp, AC only electrical
outlet. The power cord of the appliance is equipped with a
three-prong grounding plug for your protection against
electrical shock hazards. It must be plugged directly into a
properly grounded three prong receptacle. The receptacle
must be installed in accordance with local codes and
ordinances. Consult a qualified electrician. Avoid
connecting refrigerator to a Ground Fault Interruptor (GFI)
circuit. Do not use an extension cord or adapter plug.
,, If the power cord is damaged, it should be replaced by an
authorized service technician to prevent any risk.
,, Never unplug the refrigerator by pulling on the power
cord. Always grip the plug firmly, and pull straight out
from the receptacle to prevent damaging the power cord.
,, Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning and before
replacing a light bulb to avoid electrical shock.
,, Performance may be affected if the voltage varies by
10% or more. Operating the refrigerator with insufficient
power can damage the compressor. Such damage is
not covered under your warranty.
,, Do not plug the unit into an electrical outlet controlled by a
wall switch or pull cord to prevent the refrigerator from
being turned off accidentally.

ALLOWING COOLINGTIME BEFORE USE
Toensure safe food storage, allow your refrigerator to operate with the doors closed for at least 8 to 12 hours before placing food inside. During
this cooling period, you do not need to adjust the controls, which are preset at the factory.
SETTING COOMNGTEMPERATURES
Your refrigerator comes with a state-of-the-art electronic digital control system. The system's control panel is located at the top of the the fresh
food compartment.
The two digital displays on the left half of the control panel indicate the current settings or temperatures of your freezer and fresh food
compartments. The models with a2-digit temperature display are for reference only, and do not display the current accurate compartment
temperature. Should you desire to see what the current accurate temperature is, place a separate thermometer inside the freezer or fresh
food compartment in the desired location.
To adjust the temperature to a higher or lower setting, press the
Up (Cold) or Down (Colder) button closest to the display. The
first time you press the button, the display shows current
setting you entered. Each press of the button after that
changes the setting by one.
The display shows your new setting momentarily, then changes
back to the current temperature.

TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT
After 24 hours, adjust the controls as needed. Make your adjustments small and gradual; allowing time for temperatures to change
and stabilize. Refer to the adjacent guidelines for temperature settings.
To adjust the temperature to a higher or lower setting, press the Up or Down button closest to the display. The first time you press
the button, the display shows the last setting you entered. Each press of the button after that increments the setting by one
degree.
The display shows your new setting momentarily, then changes back to the current temperature.
IFTEMPERATURE DISPLAYS FLASH...
If ever you see both temperature displays continously flashing, it may indicate that the control system has detected a performance
problem. Call your service representative, who can interpret the flashing message.
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.
