•The refrigerator must be plugged into its own 115 Volt, 60 Hz, AC only
electrical outlet. The power cord of the appliance is equipped with a 3-prong
grounding plug for your protection against shock hazards. It must be plugged
directly into a properly grounded 3-prong receptacle. The receptacle must be
installed in accordance with local codes and ordinances. Consult a qualified
electrician. Do Not Use An Extension Cord Or An Adapter Plug.
• Ifvoltagevariesby10percent ormore,performanceofyourrefrigeratormaybe

First Steps ThisOwner’sGuideprovidesspecificoperatinginstructionsforyourmodel.Usethe
refrigeratoronlyasinstructedinthisOwner’sGuide.Beforestartingtherefrigerator,
follow these important first steps.
Location
• Choose a place that is near a grounded electrical outlet. Do Not use an
extension cord or an adapter plug.
• If possible, place the refrigerator out of direct sunlight and away from the
range, dishwasher or other heat sources.
• The refrigerator must be installed on a floor that is level and strong enough to
supporta fully loaded refrigerator.
• Consider water supply availability for models equipped with an automatic ice
maker.
Installation
• Do not install the refrigerator where temperature will drop below 60°F (15°C)
or rise above 110°F (43°C).The compressor will not be able to maintain proper
temperatures.
• Allow space around the unit for good air circulation. Leave a 1 inch (25 mm)
space behind and a 3 inch (75 mm) space above the refrigerator for adequate
circulation.
• In a recessed installation, allow an extra 1/2 inch (10-15 mm) on each side, for
ease of installation.
• For best circulation, elevate the unit 1 inch (25 mm) from the floor, especially
if the floor is carpeted.
Door Opening
The doors should open to allow easy access to a counter when removing food.
• Do not position the refrigerator so you have to walk around the refrigerator
doors.
• Reverse the doors, if necessary. See Door Reversal Instructions.
Leveling
All four corners of refrigerator must rest firmly on a solid floor.
To adjust front rollers:
1. Open refrigerator door and remove Toe Grille. (Figure 1)
2. Use an adjustable wrench to adjust rollers. (Figure 2)
3. Turn Roller Adjusting Bolt clockwise to raise and counter-clockwise to lower.
Raise the front of cabinet enough so doors will close freely when opened
halfway.
4. Level cabinet side to side.
5. Replace Toe Grille. (Figure 1)
Cleaning
• Wash the inside, all removable parts, and the outside with mild detergent and
warm water. Wipe dry. Do Not use harsh cleaners on these surfaces.
• Do not use razor blades or other sharp instruments that can scratch appliance
surface, when removing adhesive labels. Any glue left from tape or energy
label can be removed with a mixture of warm water and mild detergent, or
touch residue with sticky side of tape already removed.
•Do not remove the Serial Plate.
To Remove Toe grille: Gripsides ofToe
Grilleand pull straightoff.
To Replace Toe Grille:Lineupclipswith
holesand push straighton.

Refrigerator Control
• Install the refrigerator in the coolest part of the room, out of direct sunlight and
away from heating ducts or registers. Do not place the refrigerator next to
heat-producing appliances such as a range, oven or dishwasher. If this is not
possible, a section of cabinetry or an added layer of insulation between the
two appliances will help the refrigerator operate more efficiently.
• Level the refrigerator so the doors close tightly.
• Referto this Owner's Guidefor the suggested refrigeratorsettings.
• Periodic cleaning of the condenser will help the refrigerator run more
efficiently. See “Outside” in the Care and Cleaning section.
• Do not overcrowd the refrigerator or block cold air vents. Doing so causes the
refrigerator to run longer and use more energy. Shelves should not be lined
with aluminum foil, wax paper or paper toweling. Liners interfere with cold air
circulation, making the refrigerator less efficient, which could cause food
spoilage.
• Cover foods and wipe containers dry before placing them in the refrigerator.
Thiscuts down onmoisturebuild-up inside theunit.
• Organize the refrigerator to reduce door openings. Remove as many items as
needed at one time and close the door as soon as possible.
Cool Down Period
To ensure safe food storage, allow the refrigerator to operate with the
doors closed for a least 8 to 12 hours before loading with food.
Refrigerator & freezer controls
Note: When first setting the controls or when changing a setting, wait 24
hours for the temperature to stabilize before making additional changes.
Temperatures
• After 24 hours, adjust the controls as needed. Adjusttemperaturesone
increment at a time.
• For colder temperatures, turn the dial a notch towards COLDER.
• For warmer temperatures, turn the dial a notch towards WARMER. The
temperature will increase, but not necessarily by 1,2, or 3°.
Turningtherefrigeratorcontrolmaychangetemperaturesinbothcompartments.For
example, if the refrigerator control is turned to a colder setting, the freezer control
may have to be adjusted to a warmer one. Turning the freezer control will change
only the freezer temperature.
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.
IMPORTANT:IftherefrigeratorcontrolisturnedtoOFF,coolingstopsinboth
compartments.
Moisture Reduction Switch (some models)
Ifmoisture forms on themetal between the twodoors, set the MoistureReduction
Switch (located on the control box in the refrigerator compartment) to the “ON”
position. A heater will warm the surface and allow moisture to evaporate.
