PROPER DISPOSAL OF YOUR OLD REFRIGERATOR
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the
power cord. For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded.
The power cord of this appliance is
equipped with a 3-prong (grounding) plug
which mates with a standard 3-prong

Have the wall outlet and circuit checked
by a qualified electrician to make sure the
outlet is properly grounded.
Where a standard 2-prong wall outlet
is encountered, it is your personal
responsibility and obligation to have it
replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong

Control Settings
The temperature control maintains the temperature in the refrigerator. Setting the control at
COOL is the warmest setting. Setting the control at COLDEST is the coldest setting. Set
the control at COLD.
Allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to reach the desired temperature. If you want a colder or
warmer temperature, move the dial one setting at a time. Moving the control to OFF stops
cooling but does not turn off the power to the refrigerator. Setting the control too high may

Care and cleaning of the refrigerator
Cleaning the Outside
Keep the outside clean. Wipe with a clean cloth lightly
dampened with kitchen appliance wax or mild liquid dish

scouring pads, powdered cleaners, bleach or cleaners containing
bleach because these products can scratch and weaken the paint
finish.
Protect the paint finish. The finish on the outside of the
refrigerator is a high quality, baked-on paint finish. With proper
care, it will stay new-looking and rust-free for years. Apply a coat
of kitchen/ appliance wax when the refrigerator is new, and then at
least twice a year.
Replacing the Light Bulb

Cleaning the Inside
To help prevent odors, leave an open box of baking soda in the
IUHVKIRRGDQGIUHH]HUFRPSDUWPHQWV
Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning.
If this is not practical, wring excess moisture out of sponge or
cloth when cleaning around switches, lights or controls.
Use warm water and baking soda solution—about a
tablespoon (15 ml) of baking soda to a quart (1 liter) of water.
7KLVERWKFOHDQVDQGQHXWUDOL]HVRGRUV5LQVHDQGZLSHGU\
Other parts of the refrigerator—including door gaskets, fruit
and vegetable drawers, and all plastic parts—can be cleaned the
same way.
After cleaning the door gaskets, apply a thin layer of petroleum
jelly to the door gaskets at the hinge side. This helps keep the

'RQRWZDVKDQ\SODVWLFUHIULJHUDWRUSDUWVLQWKHGLVKZDVKHU
Preparing for Vacation
For long vacations or absences, remove food and unplug the refrigerator.
Move the control to the position, and clean the interior with a baking soda
solution of one tablespoon (15 ml) of baking soda to one quart (1 liter) of
water. Leave the door open.
Preparing to Move
Remove food and unplug the refrigerator. Secure all loose items such as
shelves and drawers by taping them securely in place to prevent damage.
Be sure the refrigerator stays in an upright position during moving.
Defrosting

El material aislante inflamable usado requiere procedimientos de descarte especiales.
Comuníquese con las autoridades locales para descartar su electrodoméstico de forma
ambientalmente segura
FORMA ADECUADA DE DESCARTAR SU ANTIGUO REFRIGERADOR
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
FDEOHVFRUUHFWDPHQWHFRQHFWDGRDWLHUUD1RXVH
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.
1XQFDGHVHQFKXIHHOUHIULJHUDGRUWLUDQGRGHO
cable de corriente. Siempre tome su enchufe
firmemente y empuje el mismo hacia afuera para
retirarlo.
Inmediatamente interrumpa el uso de un cable
de suministro de corriente dañado. Si el cable
de corriente se encuentra dañado, su reemplazo
deberá ser realizado por un profesional calificado
del servicio técnico, utilizando una pieza del
servicio técnico autorizada por el fabricante.
Al alejar el refrigerador de la pared, se deberá
tener cuidado de que no ruede sobre ni dañe el
cable de corriente.
CONEXIÓN DE LA ELECTRICIDAD
ADVERTENCIA RIESGO DE DESCARGA ELÉCTRICA

Espere 24 horas hasta que el refrigerador alcance la temperatura deseada.Si desea una temperatura
más fría o más caliente, mueva el dial de a una configuración por vez. Mover el control a OFF
(Apagado) detiene el enfriamiento, pero no apaga el encendido del refrigerador. Configurar el control
demasiado alto podría hacer que el refrigerador se congele, dependiendo de la temperatura del
ambiente.

Estantes
Para retirar un estante, levante la parte trasera suavemente y empuje
hacia usted. Algunos modelos cuentan con estantes con posiciones
múltiples, los cuales se pueden ubicar en diferentes niveles.
Compartimiento de la Bandeja de Hielo
Este compartimiento está diseñado para la producción de cubos de
hielo y almacenamientos a corto plazo (unos pocos días como máximo)
de algunas comidas comercialmente congeladas cuando tengan
contacto con el evaporador (superficie fría en el compartimiento).

Cuidado y limpieza del refrigerador
Limpieza de la Parte Exterior
Mantenga la parte exterior limpia. Use una tela limpia que esté
ligeramente humedecida con cera para utensilios de cocina o detergente
líquido suave. Seque y pula con una tela limpia y suave.
1ROLPSLHHOUHIULJHUDGRUFRQXQDWHODVXFLDSDUDSODWRVRXQDWRDOOD

ODSLQWXUD1RXVHHVWURSDMRVOLPSLDGRUHVHQSROYREODQTXHDGRUHVR
limpiadores que contengan blanqueador, ya que estos productos pueden
rayar y debilitar la terminación de la pintura.
Proteja el acabado de la pintura. El acabado en la parte exterior del
refrigerador posee una pintura horneada de alta calidad. Con el cuidado
debido, conservará un aspecto nuevo y sin óxido por años. Aplique una
capa de cera de cocina/ para electrodomésticos cuando el refrigerador
sea nuevo, y luego por lo menos una vez por año.

Limpieza de la Parte Interior
Para ayudar a prevenir olores, deje una
caja abierta de bicarbonato de sodio en los compartimentos de alimentos
frescos y del congelador.

seque la humedad excesiva con una esponja o paño cuando limpie
alrededor de los interruptores, luces o controles.
Utilice una solución de agua tibia con bicarbonato de sodio—alrededor
de una cucharada (15 ml) de bicarbonato de sodio y un cuarto de galón
(1 litro) de agua. Esta solución limpia y neutraliza los olores. Enjuague y
seque con un paño.
Otras piezas del refrigerador—incluyendo juntas de las puertas, cajones
para frutas y vegetales y todas las piezas plásticas—pueden limpiarse de
la misma manera.

Preparación para las Vacaciones
Si estará de vacaciones o ausente por tiempo prolongado, retire la comida y
desenchufe el refrigerador. Mueva el control a la posición OFF (Apagado), y limpie

Preparación para una Mudanza
Quite los alimentos y desenchufe el refrigerador. Fije todos los elementos sueltos
como estantes o cajones asegurándolos bien con cinta adhesiva para evitar
daños.
Asegúrese de que el refrigerador quede en posición vertical durante la mudanza.
Cómo Descongelar
Realice la descongelación cuando la escarcha en la pared del compartimiento

PATAS NIVELADORAS
Las patas niveladoras en las esquinas frontales del refrigerador se
deberían configurar de modo que éste quede posicionado de manera
firme sobre el suelo, y que el frente quede elevado lo suficiente
como para que la puerta se cierre con facilidad cuando se abra
aproximadamente hasta la mitad.
Para ajustar las patas niveladoras, gire las mismas en dirección
contraria a las agujas del reloj para levantar el refrigerador, y en
dirección de las agujas del reloj para bajarlas.
