Child Safety
• Destroycarton,plasticbags,andany exterior wrapping material immediately
aftertherefrigeratorisunpacked.Childrenshouldneveruse these items for
play.Cartons covered withrugs,bedspreads, plastic sheets orstretchwrap may
become airtight chambers and can quickly cause suffocation.
• Remove all staples from the carton. Staples can cause severe cuts and destroy
finishesif theycomein contact withotherappliances orfurniture.
• An empty, discarded ice box, refrigerator or freezer is a very dangerous
attraction to children. Remove the door of any appliance that is not in use,
even if it is being discarded.
Electrical Information
These guidelines must be followed to ensure that safety mechanisms in the
design of this refrigerator will operate properly.
•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.
• If voltage varies by 10 percent or more, performance of your refrigerator may
beaffected. Operating the refrigerator with insufficient powercandamagethe
compressor. Such damage is not covered under your warranty. If you suspect
your voltage is high or low, consult your power company for testing.
• Toprevent the refrigerator from being turnedoffaccidentally,donot plug the
unitinto an outlet controlledbyawall switch or pullcord.
• Do not pinch, knot, or bend the power cord in any manner.
Other Precautions
• Never unplug the refrigerator by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the
plugfirmly and pullstraightout from thereceptacle.
• Toavoidelectrical shock, unplug the refrigerator beforecleaningandbefore
replacingalight bulb.Note:TurningthecontroltoOFFturnsoffthecompressor,
butdoes notdisconnectpowerto thelightbulb or otherelectricalcomponents.
• Do not operate the refrigerator in the presence of explosive fumes.
• Iftherefrigeratorhasanautomaticicemaker,avoidcontactwithanymovingparts.

FirstSteps Before starting the refrigerator, follow these important first steps:
Location
• Choose a place that is near a grounded electrical outlet. DO NOT use an
extensioncord or an adapter plug.
• Ifpossible,placetherefrigeratoroutofdirectsunlightandawayfromtherange,
dishwasherorotherheat sources.
• Therefrigeratormust be installed on a floor thatislevel and strong enough
tosupportafullyloadedrefrigerator.
• Considerwatersupplyavailabilityformodelsequipped with an automatic ice
maker.
Installation
• If you need to remove the handles to move the refrigerator through narrow
doorways,followsteps 7 and 8 in the "Reversible Door Instructions."
• Do not install the refrigerator where the temperature will drop below 60°F
(15°C)orriseabove110°F (43°C). The compressor will not be able to maintain
propertemperatures.
• Inarecessed installation, allow an extra 1/2 inch (10-15 mm) on each sidefor
easeofinstallation.
• If the hinge side of the unit will be placed against a wall, allow a 1 3/4 inch
(44 mm) space between the wall and the refrigerator.
Door Opening
The doors should open to allow easy access to a counter when removing food.
• Donotpositiontherefrigeratorsoyouhavetowalkaroundtherefrigeratordoors.
• Reversethedoorsifnecessary.See"ReversibleDoorInstructions."
Leveling
Allfourcornersoftherefrigeratormustrestfirmlyonasolidfloor.
1. Openrefrigeratordoor and remove toe grill.
2. Use a 3/8" socket wrench or nutdriver to adjust rollers as shown. RAISE THE
FRONT of cabinet enough so doors will close freely when opened halfway.
3. Levelcabinetsidetoside.
4. Replacetoegrill,lineupclipswithholes,andpushgrillstraighton.
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 which can scratch the
appliance surface, when removing adhesive labels. Any glue left from the
tape or energy label can be removed with a mixture of warm water and mild
detergent,or, touch theresiduewith the stickysideof tape alreadyremoved.
• DO NOT REMOVE THE SERIAL PLATE.

• Leveltherefrigeratorsothedoorsclosetightly.
• Referto thisOwner'sGuide forthesuggested refrigerator settings.
• Periodiccleaning of the condenserwillhelpthe refrigerator run more
efficiently.SeeOutside in the"Careand Cleaning" section.
• Do not overcrowd the refrigerator or block cold air vents. Doing so causes
therefrigerator to run longer andusemore energy. Shelves should notbelined
withaluminumfoil,wax paperor papertoweling.Linersinterferewithcoldair
circulation,making the refrigerator less efficient, which couldcause food
spoilage.
• Coverfoods and wipe containers dry before placing themintherefrigerator.
Thiscutsdownon moisture build-up inside the unit.
• Organize the refrigerator to reduce door openings. Remove as many items as
needed at one time and close the door as soon as possible.
Energy Saving Ideas
Setting the Controls Cool Down Period
Toensuresafefoodstorage, allowtherefrigeratortooperatewiththedoorsclosed
for at least 8 to 12 hours before loading with food.
Refrigerator and Freezer Controls
• Tostartout,set controldials tothemidpointfora trialperiodof24hours.
Temperatures
• After 24 hours, adjust the controls as needed. Adjust temperatures one
number at a time. For colder temperatures, turn the dial toward COLDEST.
For warmer temperatures, turn the dial toward COLD. The temperature will
increaseor decrease, but not necessarilyby1,2, or 3 degrees.
An adjustment made to one compartment may require an adjustment to the other.
• Turning the refrigerator control will change the temperature in BOTH
compartments. If the refrigerator control is turned to OFF, cooling
stops in both compartments.
• Turningthefreezer controlwillchangeonlythe temperatureinthefreezer
compartment.
To maintain temperatures, a fan circulates air in the refrigerator and freezer
compartments. For good circulation, do not block cold air ventswith food items.
Energy Saver Switch (some models)
Ifyour refrigerator is equippedwithanEnergy Saver Switch,keepitset on ENERGY
SAVER for lowest energy usage.
Moisture
During humid weather, or if moisture appears on the cabinet between the doors,
set switch to REDUCE EXTERIOR MOISTURE. A heater will warm the surface and
allowmoisture to evaporate.

Crispers
TheCrispers,locatedunderthebottomrefrigeratorshelf,aredesignedforstoring

TheHumidity Controls allow youtoadjust the humidity withintheCrisper.This can
extend the life of fresh vegetables which keep best in high humidity. Leafy
vegetables, however, keep best when stored with the Humidity Control set on high
moisture, or in a drawer without a Humidity Control. This keeps incoming air to a
minimum and maintains maximum moisture content.
