21 Cu. Ft. French Door Refrigerator
Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of a high-quality Insignia product. Your NS-RFD21SS9-C represents the state of the art in
refrigerator design and is designed for reliable and trouble-free performance.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
1Read these instructions.
2Keep these instructions.
3Heed all warnings.
4Follow all instructions.
5Do not use this appliance near water.
6Clean only with a damp cloth or sponge using a non-corrosive, neutral detergent. Remove residual detergent with clear
water.
7Do not block any ventilation openings. This includes placing large amounts of food in front of the air outlets on the rear
walls of the refrigerator and freezer compartments.
8Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
9Do not install near any heat sources, such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus that produce heat.
10 Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one
wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third
prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for
replacement of the obsolete outlet.
11 Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched, particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point
where it exits from the appliance.
12 Do not attempt to modify or extend the power cord of your refrigerator.
13 Unplug your refrigerator during lightning storms or when it will not be used for long periods of time.
14 Make sure that the available AC power matches the voltage requirements of your refrigerator.
15 Do not handle the plug with wet hands. This could result in an electric shock.
16 Unplug the power cord by holding the plug, never by pulling the cord.
17 Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when your refrigerator has been damaged in any
way, such as the power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into your
refrigerator, your refrigerator has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
18 To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose your refrigerator to rain, moisture, dripping, or splashing, and
no objects filled with liquids should be placed on top of it.
19 Do not use extension cords or ungrounded (two prong) adapters. If the power cord is too short, have a qualified
electrician install an outlet near your refrigerator. Use of an extension cord can negatively affect your refrigerator’s
performance.
CAUTION
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK

Control panel
The control panel is located at the top of the refrigerator and is visible when you open up the doors.
Setting up your refrigerator
Before using your refrigerator
• Remove the interior packing.
• Let your refrigerator stand upright for approximately four hours before connecting it to power. This reduces the
possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from improper handling during transportation.
• Wash the inside with a damp warm cloth soaked in a solution of one quart of lukewarm water to two tablespoons of
baking soda.
• Wait to load the refrigerator with food for approximately two hours after moving your refrigerator or plugging it in for
the first time so that the coolant fluid settles
• For correct operation, you should level your refrigerator using the levelling feet. If you do not level your refrigerator, the
doors may not close or seal correctly, causing cooling, frost, and moisture problems. Turn the levelling feet clockwise to
raise or counterclockwise to lower a side. The levelling feet are easier to adjust if you have someone push against the
top of your refrigerator to take some weight off.
• When moving your refrigerator, do not tilt it beyond 45° from upright.
Finding a suitable location
• Place your refrigerator on a floor that is strong enough to support your refrigerator when it is fully loaded.
• Do not install your refrigerator on carpeting or a rug.
• Your refrigerator is designed to be free standing and should not be recessed or built-in.
• If you use your refrigerator in a garage, make sure that the ambient temperature is between 50°F (10°C) and
109°F (43°C).
• Adjust the feet to keep your refrigerator level.
• If you locate your refrigerator next to a fixed wall, allow sufficient space on the hinge side for the door to swing open.
• Position your refrigerator away from direct sunlight and sources of heat, such as a stove, heater, or radiator. Direct
sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase electrical consumption. Extremely cold
temperatures may also prevent your refrigerator from performing correctly.
• Avoid locating your refrigerator in moist areas.
Your refrigerator is designed to operate in a temperature range of 50°F (10°C) and 109°F (43°C). If you operate your
refrigerator outside this temperature range, your refrigerator may not work correctly.
CAUTION: Temperatures inside each compartment may vary from the temperature you selected, depending on how much food you
store and where you place it. Ambient temperature may also affect the actual temperature inside your refrigerator.

Tips on saving energy
• Locate your refrigerator in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing appliances or heating ducts and out
of direct sunlight.
• Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing them in your refrigerator. Overloading your refrigerator forces
the compressor to run longer. Foods that freeze too slowly may lose quality or spoil.
• Wrap foods correctly and wipe containers dry before placing them in your refrigerator. This cuts down on frost
build-up.
• Do not line the refrigerator storage shelves with aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper toweling. Liners interfere with cold
air circulation and make your refrigerator less efficient.
• Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches. Remove as many items as needed at one
time, and close the door as soon as possible.
Tips on storing food in the refrigerator compartment
• Always store cooked meats on a shelf above raw meats to avoid bacterial transfer. Keep raw meat on a plate which is
large enough to collect juices, and cover the plate with cling film or foil. Leave space around food. This allows cold air to
circulate around your refrigerator so that all parts of your refrigerator are kept cool.
• To prevent transfer of flavours and food drying out, wrap or cover each food item separately. Fruit and vegetables need
not be wrapped.
• Let hot food cool down before placing it in your refrigerator. This helps stop the internal temperature in your
refrigerator from rising.
• To prevent cold air from escaping, try to limit the number of times you open the doors. When retuning from shopping,
sort foods to be kept in your refrigerator before opening the doors. Only open the door to put food in or take it out.
Troubleshooting
CAUTION: Do not try to repair your refrigerator yourself. Doing so invalidates the warranty.
PROBLEM SOLUTION
My refrigerator does not work.
• Make sure that your refrigerator is securely plugged into a working outlet.
• Make sure that your power source has the correct voltage. Your refrigerator’s
voltage rating is on a label on the back of your refrigerator.
• Check the house fuse or circuit breaker box and replace the fuse or reset the
circuit breaker.
The refrigerator compartment
has a bad odour.
• Make sure that all food with a strong odour (like onions) is wrapped or stored in
airtight packaging.
• Certain containers and wrapping materials (such as paper, foil, or plastic) can
cause odours. If you think this might be the case, try using different containers
or a different brand of wrapping material.
• Check for spoiled food and remove it.
• Clean the inside of your refrigerator. See Cleaning your refrigerator on page 17.
The refrigerator doors do not
close completely.
• Make sure that no food packages are in the way.
• Make sure that the door gaskets (seals) are clean. See Cleaning your refrigerator
on page 17.
• If the door gasket does not seal, try heating then cooling the seal. You can use
an electric hair dryer to heat the seal.
• Make sure that your refrigerator is level. See Levelling your refrigerator on
page 11.
The temperature is too warm.
• You may have left the doors open too long or opened them too frequently.
• Make sure that no obstacle is keeping the doors from closing correctly.

21 Cu. Ft. French Door Refrigerator
The refrigerator door is hard to
open.
• When you open the refrigerator door, warm air rushes inside. When you close
the door, the warm air rushes to the condenser which causes a vacuum. This
causes the door to be hard to open for about 10 to 15 seconds after closing.
The compressor runs for a long
time or turns on and off
frequently.
The compressor runs longer if:
• The room temperature is high.
• You just added a large amount of food. Wait for the food to freeze, then check
again.
• You open and close the door frequently.
• The door gasket is dirty. Clean the gasket. See Cleaning your refrigerator on
page 17.
• Your refrigerator has been disconnected for a period of time. Wait for your
refrigerator to cool (about four hours) before adding food.
• You have the temperature set too low.
The light inside the refrigerator
does not turn on.
• Make sure that your refrigerator is plugged into a working outlet.
• If a door stays open too long, your refrigerator automatically turns off the light.
Close then open the door again.
• Check to see if the light is damaged. If the light is damaged, have it replaced by a
qualified service technician.
The refrigerator makes unusual
noises or vibrations.
The following sounds are normal:
• Compressor running noises.
• Air movement noise from the small fan motor in the freezer compartment or
other compartments.
• Gurgling sound similar to water boiling.
• Popping noise during automatic defrosting.
• Clicking noise before the compressor starts.
• Motor running noises when you get the ice.
Other unusual noises or vibrations may occur:
• If you have items on the top of your refrigerator. Remove the items.
• If your refrigerator is not level. See Levelling your refrigerator on page 11.
• If your refrigerator is touching walls. Move it away from the walls.
• If the shelves or drawers are installed incorrectly.
The outside of the refrigerator is
hot.
Heat dissipation from the condenser may make the outside feel hot. This is normal and
happens if:
• The room temperature is high.
• You have too much food in your refrigerator.
• You open and close the doors excessively.
Water condenses on the outside
of the refrigerator.
• Condensation on the exterior surface and door seal is normal when the room
humidity is high.
• When you open the door, warm, moist outside air meets the cold dry air inside
your refrigerator. This is normal.
