1.Use the three-pronged plug only with a grounding receptacle to provide protection
from electrical shock. This appliance must be installed in accordance with the
installation and grounding instructions on page4-5.
2. Unplug your refrigerator before cleaning condenser,replacing a light bulb, or
making any repairs. Any servicing shouLdbe performed by a qualified technician.
3. Lncase ofpowerfailure, minimizedoor openings. If powerfailure is oflong duration,
protectfrozenfood byplacing blocksofdry iceon topofthepackages, orcheckwith
alocal frozenfoodslocker plantabouttemporary storage.Frozenfoodswhich have
thawed completely should not be refrozen.
4. Any electric service cord that becomes frayed or damaged should be immediately
repaired or replaced. Never unplug your appliance by pulling on thepowercord.
5. Your refrigerator should not be operated in the presence of explosive fumes.
6. Removethe doorsfrom anyout-of-use refrigerator to prevent child entrapmentand
suffocation.
7. DOnot place fingersor hands on the automatic ice making mechanism while the
refrigerator is pluggedin. This will help protectyou from possible Lnjury.Ltwillalso
prevent interference with moving parts of theejector mechanism and the heating
element that releases the cubes.

If you are installing your new refrigerator yourself, pleasefollow these helpful sugges-
tions.
1. Remove base skids, i I-J]L[-j I
2. Remove all exterior and interior tape carefully and ,, ,_ll
retainold tape. Make a small pad of this tape to pick
offanyremainingtaperesidues. Thiswilleliminatethe
need to use dangerous Solventsof any kind.
3. Removeanddiscard thecantilevershelf packing clips
located just above each shelf where they hook onto
the frame. To remove the red plastic clip, wiggle it
sideways and pull straight out.
4. Select a locationforyour new refrigeratoraway from anyheatsources.Allow afree
flow of air through the front base grille.
5. Your model should not be installed where the room temperature will go below
55°,=. becauseJtwillnotrun frequently enoughtomaintain proper temperature in
the freezer.
To enhance its appearance, maintain efficient performance and for proper function of
the icemaker, your refrigerator should be level. Using a carpenter's level, check your
refrigerator to make sureit is levelfront to back and sideto side. The front wheels were
adjusted at the factory so the cabinet would be level. However, jarring in transit, or
standing the refrigerator on an unevenfloor may cause the cabinet to appear unlevel.
If leveling is necessary, remove the base grilleand adjust:

IMPORTANT:Except when starting, do not changeeither controlmore than one number

At times, the front surfaces of your refrigerator cabinet may bewarm to the touch. This
is a normal function of your refrigerator. This feature prevents moisture from condensing
on the outside of your refrigerator during humid weather. This condition may be
noticeable when you first start your refrigerator, during hot weather, and during
excessiveor lengthy door openings.

The Energy Saver switch controls a heater designed to prevent moisture acoumulation
between the refrigerator and freezer door frame. During humid weather,moisture
collects on objects that are cooler than the surrounding air. This condensation can be
eliminated by applying a small amount of heat to the surface upon which the water
accumulates.
Whenthe EnergySaver switch is on "Saves Energy",no heat is appliedto the surface.
It is saving both energy and money. If humidity increases and condensation appears,
turnthe EnergySaverswitohto "Reduces ExteriorMoisture". Be suretoturn theEnergy
Saver switch back to "Saves Energy" as the humidity dropsto save energy.
In areas of relatively high humidity,the Energy Saver Switch in the "Reduces
ExteriorMoisture"positionwillminimizeanycollection ofmoisture ontheoutside
surfaceof thecabinet.
Forefficientenergy use:
1. Besurethe refrigeratorislevelandventilationaround thefrontgrilleisnot blocked,
2. Checkdoorsealsoccasionallyfor leakage,Checkatvariousplaces,top,bottom,

3,Checkthetemperature;avoid unnecessarycold settings.
4, Keep thefreezernear fullcapacity; lesscoldairis lost duringdooropenings.
5. Lethot dishescoolbeforeputtingintorefrigeratoror freezer,
6, Cover liquids; if uncovered, theunit mustwork longer.
7, Clean refrigerator condenser coils atleast twice a year.

To maintain the natural flavor, moisture,and nutrition of fresh foods, we recommend
that all dishes,trays, and containers of food be covered.

Your refrigerator comesequipped with ice cube traysand a storage bin (on most
models.) To release frozen cubes,hold the trays upside down and twist both ends.
Somemodels are designedsoan Automatic (oeMakercan beeasily installedwhenever
youwant it. Order theice makerkit numbershown on thelabel onthe cabinet back.The
kit containsinstallation instructions,water connection instructionsand other information
concerning the ice maker operation.
The water inlet tubingassembly requiredto complete thewater connectionto the water
valveislocated in thecrisper drawerina bag. Connecttheicemaker tothewater supply
as instructed in the separate Lnstructions,furnished with the refrigerator.
The automaticice maker is designed tofurnish a continual supply of icecubes. The
amount of ice produced depends on the temperature in the freezer section of your
refrigerator. The colderthe freezer section, the more ice isproduced. We suggestyou
start with yourrefrigerator and freezer controlsat their midsettings. In mostcases,this
is satisfactory.If the door to the refrigeratoror freezer is opened frequently or
temperatures in the kitchen areabnormally high, a colder setting may be necessary.
After your model has been installedand the water supply connected tothe ice maker,
it maytake 8 to 12 hoursbeforetheice makerfurnishes anyusable icecubes.The first
one or two harvests will probably contain undersized and irregular cubes because of
air in thesupply line. Theinitial harvestmay also contain impurities from the newwater
supply piping. Therefore,all cubes from the first two or three harvests should be
discarded.
Undercertain rarecircumstances,ice cubesmay be discolored,usually appearing with
a green-bluishhue. Thecause ofthis unusualdiscolorationis apparently acombination
offactors such as certain characteristics of local waters,household plumbing and the
accumulationofcoppersalts in an inactive water supply line which feeds the ice maker.
Continued consumption of such discolored ice cubes may be harmful to health. If such
discoloration is observed, discard the ice cubes and contact the dealer from whom the
ice maker or refdgerator was purchased.
Ice cubes that have been in the ice storage for a considerable length oftime may pick
up oft-flavor taste,stick together, and graduallybecome smaller.Wesuggestthat these
cubes bethrownaway. We also suggest using anopen boxof baking soda in the
refrigerator for food odor absorption.
Certainsounds mayaccompany thevariouscyclesof theice maker.Examplesare: (1)
themotormayhavea slighthum, (2)thecubeswillrattle asthey fall intoan emptystorage
bin, and (3) the water valve may click or "buzz" occasionally. All of these sounds are
normal and should be ignored. 14

Note: When dispensing icecubes,it is importantthat you use onlythe ice supplied by
thisicernaker.Icefrom anyothersourceoouldcauseanicejam. Ifthis happens,remove
and discard all icefrom the storage bin and any icelodged in theicechute.

Lift thefront of the AutomaticDispenser bin and pull it straight out. Wash the bin
occasionally in mild soap and lukewarm water. To replace the bin,push it all the way
back untilthe bottom ofthe bin is behindthe raised edgeat the frontofthe shelfit rests
on. Make sure thetabs, atthe backof the bin,that turn the spiral auger are positioned
between the prongs from the auger motor.
Prevent ice cubes from missing your glass by holding it as
high as possible (just below the ice chute). Pressthe glass
against the padded lever at the left side ofthe fountain. To
stopdispensing ice,releasepressurejust enough to stopthe
dispensermotor and leavethe glassin placeto holdthe door

to anticipate when to release pressure to prevent an un-
wanted dispense ofice, which occurs eachone and one half
seconds.
After installation, itmay take 1 to 2 days to fill the Automatic
Dispenser bin with ice cubes.
To dispensewater,press a container against the padded lever
atthe rightside ofthefountain. To stopthe waterflow, release
pressure. To minimize splashing, hold the container as high
as possible.
When you first operate your dispenser or after reconnecting
water toyour refrigerator,air will escapefrom the dispenserfor
a few minutesbeforewater begins toflow. Draw 10 glasses of
water and empty them in the kitchen sink. This will insure
complete filling of the reservoir with fresh water.
