NOTE: If the refrigerator has been placed in a horizontal or tilted position for any period of time, wait 24
hours before plugging the unit in.
1) Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this use and care guide.
2) This refrigerator must be properly installed in accordance with the installation instructions before it is
used. See Electrical Requirements in the Set Up & Use section.
3) This refrigerator should not be recessed or built-in an enclosed cabinet. It is designed for freestanding
installation only.
4) Never unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the power cord. Always grasp the plug firmly and pull
straight out from the outlet.
5) Repair or replace immediately, all electric service cords that have become frayed or otherwise
damaged. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length, the plug or the
connector end.
6) If your old refrigerator is not being used, we recommend that you remove the doors. This will reduce
the possibility of danger to children.
7) Do not refreeze foods, that have been thawed completely. The United States Department of
Agriculture in Home and Garden Bulletin No. 69 reads:
"…You may safely refreeze frozen foods that have thawed if they still contain ice crystals or if they are
still cold, below 40°F."
"…Thawed ground meats, poultry, or fish that have any off-odor or off-color should not be refrozen
and should not be eaten. Thawed ice cream should be discarded. If the odor or color of any food is
poor or questionable, discard it. The food may be dangerous to eat."
"…Even partial thawing and re-freezing can reduce the eating quality of foods, particularly fruits,
vegetables, and prepared foods. The eating quality of red meats is affected less than that of many
other foods. Use refrozen foods as soon as possible to save as much of their eating quality as you
can."
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

PRECAUTIONS, INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING:

corrected with the leveling legs located on the front bottom corners of the refrigerator.
UNPACKING YOUR REFRIGERATOR
1. Remove all packaging material. This includes the corrugated base and all adhesive tape holding the
refrigerator accessories inside and outside.
2. Inspect and remove any remains of packing, tape or printed materials before powering on the
refrigerator.
3. If your refrigerator comes with smooth or stainless steel doors, please remove the clear film before
turning it on for the first time. When removing the film, do not pull the film straight down as this could
result in misaligned doors.
4. It is normal for the freezer door to be positioned slightly higher than the top of the cabinet when the
refrigerator is first installed. This positioning is done at the factory to ensure a proper gasket seal
once the door is weighted with food items.

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 soda mixed with warm water. Use a sponge
or soft cloth, dampened with the cleaning solution,
to wipe the inside of your refrigerator.
Avoid cleaning any cold glass (shelves, crisper
cover glass, etc.) with hot water. The glass can
break and cause personal injury. Handle all glass
parts with care at all times.
Do not attempt to wash any parts in a dishwasher.
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 nish.
EXTERIOR CLEANING:
Use a clean, soft, lightly dampened cloth with
kitchen appliance wax or a mild detergent to clean
the exterior of the refrigerator.
Use a clean, soft, lightly dampened cloth with
warm soapy water to clean the handles and trim.
Use a clean, 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 nish.
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.

PROPER CARE AND MAINTENANCE
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 hazards due to
thawing.
VACATION
For long vacations or absences, unplug your
refrigerator and remove all food from it. Clean
the refrigerator, including the gaskets, according
to the Proper Care and Maintenance section. Leave
the doors propped open to allow air to circulate
inside the refrigerator.
MOVING
Before moving your refrigerator, empty the
food from it and use adhesive tape to secure all
loose items such as shelves, door bins and racks,
crispers and pans, etc. and unplug it. Always move
the refrigerator in an upright position in order to
avoid damaging the sealed refrigerant system.

NORMAL OPERATING SOUNDS
PAGE 15  TROUBLE SHOOTING & WARRANTY
ENGLISH
There is a fan inside your refrigerator which helps
to maintain the temperature you have selected.
Whirring is common when the refrigerator is rst
plugged in, when the doors have been opened
often or for an extended period of time and when a
large amount of food has been added.
This is a common noise that comes from
the compressor and is a part of making your
refrigerator run eciently.
It is possible that you may hear a whooshing
noise when closing the doors. This is no cause
for concern. It is simply the pressure in the
refrigerator equalizing.
There are a lot of things going on in your
refrigerator at any given time. Additional noises
you may hear, and possible causes include:
Gurgling is most likely due to the circulation of
refrigerant through the cooling coils.
Sizzling or popping sounds can be frost melting
and falling onto the defrost heater during the
defrost cycle.
Clicking or chirping may be heard as the
compressor attempts to re-start.
Cracking or popping noises may be from the
expansion and contraction of cooling coils during
and after the defrost cycle.
Also, when your refrigerator is rst plugged
in, the foam insulation in the walls will cool and
contract, which can result in cracking or popping
noises.
If the refrigerator has been placed in a horizontal
position for any period of time, wait 24 hours after
returning it to the upright position before plugging
it in.
IMPORTANT
During the automatic defrost cycle, you may
notice a red glow in the vents on the back wall of
your freezer compartment. This is normal during
the defrost cycle.
