DANGER
WARNING
CAUTION
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
wwWARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal
injur when using our product, basic safet precautions
should be followed, including the following.
Read all instructions before using this appliance.
• NEVER unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the power
cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull it straight out from
the outlet.
• 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
or at either the plug or connector end.
• Do not modify or extend the power cord length. It could
cause electric shock or fire.
• When moving your refrigerator away from the wall, be
careful not to roll over or damage the power cord.
• DO NOT store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors
and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
• DO NOT allow children to climb, stand, or hang on the
refrigerator doors or shelves in the refrigerator. They could
damage the refrigerator and seriously injure themselves.
• Keep fingers out of pinch point areas; clearances between
the doors and cabinet are necessarily small. Be careful
closing doors when children are in the area.
• Unplug your refrigerator before cleaning or making any
repairs.
NOTE:We strongly recommend that any servicing be
performed by a qualified individual.
• Before replacing a burned-out light bulb, unplug the
refrigerator or turn off power at the circuit breaker or fuse
box in order to avoid contact with a live wire filament. (A
burned-out light bulb may break when being replaced.)
NOTE: Some models have LED interior lighting and service
should be performed by a qualified technician.
• When you are finished, reconnect the refrigerator to the
electrical source and reset the controls. (Thermostat,
Refrigerator Control, and or Freezer Control, depending on
the model) to the desired setting.
• This refrigerator must be properly installed in accordance
with the Attention Installer Instructions that were taped to
the front of the refrigerator.
• After your refrigerator is in operation, do not touch the cold
surfaces in the freezer compartment when hands are damp
or wet. Skin may adhere to the extremely cold surfaces.
• In refrigerators with automatic icemakers, avoid contact with
the moving parts of the ejector mechanism, or with the
heating element that releases the cubes. DO NOT place
fingers or hands on the automatic icemaking mechanism
while the refrigerator is plugged in.
• DO NOT refreeze frozen foods which have thawed
completely. The United States Department of Agriculture in
Home and Garden Bulletin No. 69 says:
…You may safely refreeze frozen foods that have thawed if
they still contain ice crystals or if they are still cold—below
°C.
…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, dispose of it.
The food may be dangerous to eat.
Even partial thawing and refreezing reduces 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 quality as you can.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
wwDANGER: RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT

GROUNDING REQUIREMENTS
IMPORTANT: Please read carefully.
TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY
RECOMMENDED GROUNDING METHOD
The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own
individual properly grounded electrical outlet rated for
115 Volts, 60 Hz, AC only, and fused at 15 or 20 amperes.
This provides the best performance and also prevents
overloading house wiring circuits which could cause a fire
hazard from overheated wires. It is recommended that a
separate circuit serving only this appliance be provided.
Use a receptacle which cannot be turned off with a switch
or pull chain. Do not use an extension cord.
Where a standard two-prong wall outlet is encountered,
it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have it
replaced with a properly grounded three-prong wall outlet.
Do not, under an circumstances, cut or remove the
third (ground) prong from the power cord.
Do not use an adapter plug.
NOTE: Before performing any type of installation,
cleaning, or removing a light bulb, disconnect the
refrigerator from the electrical source.
NOTE: Some models have LED interior lighting and
service should be performed by a qualified technician.
When you are are finished, reconnect the refrigerator to
the electrical source and reset the control (Thermostat,
Refrigerator Control, or Freezer Control, depending on the
model) to the desired setting.
USE OF EXTENSION CORDS
Because of potential safet hazards under certain
conditions, we strongl recommend against the use
of an extension cord. However, if you still elect to use
an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a
UL-listed (USA), 3-wire grounding type appliance
extension cord having a grounding type plug and outlet,
and that the electrical rating of the cord be 15 amperes
(minimum) and 120 volts.
Use of an extension cord will increase the clearance
needed for the back of the refrigerator.
wwWARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, this appliance must be
properly grounded. Have the wall outlet and the circuit
checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the
outlet is properly grounded.
3-prong
grounding
plug

Junked or abandoned refrigerators are dangerous…even
if they will sit for just a few days. If you are getting rid of
your old refrigerator, please follow the instructions at right
to help prevent accidents (Child entrapment and
suffocation).
BEFORE YOU THROW AWAY
YOUR OLD REFRIGERATOR
OR FREEZER
•Take off the doors.
•Leave the shelves in place so that children
may not easily climb inside.
Your old refrigerator may have a cooling system that used
CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons). CFCs are believed to harm

If you are throwing away your old refrigerator, make sure
the CFC refrigerant is removed for proper disposal by a
qualified servicer. If you intentionally release this CFC
refrigerant, you can be subject to fines and imprisonment
under provisions of environmental legislation.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge,
unless they have been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible
for their safety.

LEVELING AND DOOR ALIGNMENT
Leveling
After installing, secure the stability of the product with the
leveling legs.
Your refrigerator has two front leveling legs—one on the
right and one on the left. Adjust legs to alter tilt from front-
to-back or side-to-side. If your refrigerator seems
unsteady or you want the doors to close easier, adjust the
refrigerator’s tilt using the instructions below:
1. Plug the refrigerator’s power cord into a 3-prong
grounded outlet. Move the refrigerator into its final
position. Remove the base cover.
To remove the base cover
1. Open the Freezer Drawer. (Drawer not shown for
clarity.)
2. Once the drawer is open and there is sufficient
clearance, remove screws on the top of the cover.
To replace base cover:
• Place cover into position and
insert and tighten the screws.
2. Turn the leveling leg clockwise to raise that side of the
refrigerator or counterclockwise to lower it. It may take
several turns of the leveling leg to adjust the tilt of the
refrigerator.
NOTE: Having someone push backward against the
top of the refrigerator takes some weight off the leveling
legs. This makes it easier to adjust the legs.
3. Open both doors again and check to make sure that
they close easily. If not, tilt the refrigerator slightly more
to the rear by turning both leveling legs clockwise. It
may take several more turns, and you should turn both
leveling legs the same amount.
4. Re-adjust if necessary.
5. Replace the base cover.
NOTE: Your new refrigerator is uniquely designed with
two fresh food doors. Either door can be opened or
closed independently of one another. You may have to
exert slight pressure on doors to get them to close
completely.
Door Alignment
If the space between your doors is uneven, follow the
instructions below to align the doors:
1. With one hand, lift up the door you want to raise at the
middle hinge.
2. With the other hand, use pliers to insert the snap ring
as shown below.
3. Insert additional snap rings until the doors are aligned.
(Three snap rings are provided with the refrigerator in
the Use & Care Guide packet.)
Level the refrigerator by using an 11/16 inch (18mm) wrench or a flat
blade screwdriver.
Turn the leveling legs counterclockwise to raise or clockwise to lower
the height of the front of the refrigerator.
NOTE: The front of the refrigerator should be slightly higher than the
back.

AIRFLOW
In order to ensure proper temperatures, air must flow
between the refrigerator and freezer sections. The arrows
in the figure indicate air vent locations and direction of
airflow.
Do not block any of the cool air vents with food packages.
If the vents are blocked, airflow will be interrupted and
temperature and moisture
problems may occur.
If you add a large amount of
food, the refrigerator will take
longer to cool it.
At initial start-up allow your
refrigerator to run for 2 or 3
hours before placing food in it.
IN-DOOR ICE BIN
ww CAUTION
Keep hands and tools out of the ice compartment door
and dispenser chute. Damage or personal injury may
result.
The icemaker will stop producing ice when the ice bin is
full. If you need more ice, empty the ice bin into the extra
ice bin in the freezer compartment.
During use, the ice can become uneven causing the
icemaker to misread the amount of ice cubes and stop
producing ice. Shaking the ice bin to level the ice within it
can reduce this problem.
NOTE: Storing cans or other items in the ice bin will
damage the icemaker.
Keep the ice compartment door closed tightly. If the ice
compartment door is not closed tightly, the cold air in the
ice bin will freeze food in the refrigerator compartment.
This could also cause the icemaker to not produce ice.
NOTE: To prevent ice cubes from melting and leaking
from the dispenser, ALWAYS empty the ice bin when the
icemaker is set to Off (O) for more than a few minutes.
1. Push on the latch firmly where noted to close the ice
compartment door. It will make a clicking sound when it
is closed completely.
2. To remove the in-door ice bin, grip the front handle,
slightly lift the lower part, and slowly pull out the bin as
shown.
3. To reinstall the in-door ice bin, slightly slant the bin
during replacement to avoid contact with the icemaker.
. Avoid touching the automatic shutoff arm when
replacing the ice bin. See the label on the ice
compartment door for details.

ADJUSTING CONTROL SETTINGS
It is best to wait for 24 hours for the refrigerator to cool
down completely before making any adjustments to the
temperature settings. The initial settings mentioned in
SETTIN THE CONTROLS section should be correct for
normal household refrigerator use. The controls are set
correctly when milk or juice is as cold as you like and
when ice cream is firm.
The refrigerator control functions as the thermostat for the
entire appliance (refrigerator and freezer sections). The
colder the setting, the longer the compressor will run to
keep the temperature colder. The freezer control adjusts
the cold air flow from the freezer to the refrigerator.
Setting the freezer control to a lower temperature keeps
more cold air in the freezer compartment to make it
colder.
If you need to adjust temperatures in the refrigerator or
freezer, start by adjusting the refrigerator and allow 24
hours for the temperatures to stabilize. If it is still too warm
or too cold, then adjust the freezer control.
Use the settings listed in the chart below as a guide.
Always remember to wait at least 24 hours betwee
adjustme ts.
FOOD STORAGE GUIDE
Wrap or store food in the refrigerator in airtight and
moisture-proof material unless otherwise noted. This
prevents food odor and taste transfer throughout the
refrigerator. For dated products, check date code to
ensure freshness.

STORING FROZEN FOOD
NOTE: For further information about preparing food for
freezing or food storage times, check a freezer guide or a
reliable cookbook.
Packaging
Successful freezing depends on correct packaging. When
you close and seal the package, it must not allow air or
moisture in or out. If it does, you could have food odor
and taste transfer throughout the refrigerator and also dry
out frozen food.
Packaging recommendations:
• Rigid plastic containers with tight-fitting lids
• Straight-sided canning/freezing jars
• Heavy-duty aluminum foil
• Plastic-coated paper
• Non-permeable plastic wraps
• Specified freezer-grade self-sealing plastic bags
Follow package or container instructions for proper
freezing methods.
Do not use
• Bread wrappers
• Containers without tight lids
• Wax paper or wax-coated freezer wrap
• Thin, semi-permeable wrap
wwCAUTION: Do not keep beverage cans or plastic food
containers in the freezer compartment. They may break
or burst if they freeze.
Freezing
Your freezer will not quick-freeze any large quantity of
food. Do not put more unfrozen food into the freezer than
will freeze within 2 hours (no more than 2 to 3 lbs of food
per cubic foot of freezer space). Leave enough space in
the freezer for air to circulate around packages. Be careful
to leave enough room at the front so the door can close
tightly.
Storage times will vary according to the quality and type
of food, the type of packaging or wrap used (airtight and
moisture-proof) and the storage temperature. Ice crystals
inside a sealed package are normal. This simply means
that moisture in the food and air inside the package have
condensed, creating ice crystals.
NOTE: Allow hot foods to cool at room temperature for
30 minutes, then package and freeze. Cooling hot foods
before freezing saves energy.

REFRIGERATOR SHELVES
The shelves in your refrigerator are adjustable to meet
your individual storage needs. Your model may have
glass or wire shelves.
Storing similar food items together in your refrigerator and
adjusting the shelves to fit different heights of items will
make finding the exact item you want easier; it will also
reduce the amount of time the refrigerator door is open,
saving energy.
IMPORTANT: Do not clean glass shelves with warm
water while they are cold. Shelves may break if exposed
to sudden temperature changes or impact, such as
bumping. For your protection, glass shelves are made
with tempered glass, which will shatter into small pebble-
sized pieces.
NOTE: Glass shelves are heavy. Use special care when
removing them to avoid dropping them.
Adjusting Shelves
Remove shelves from the shipping position and replace
shelves in the position you want.
• To remove a shelf—Tilt up the front of the shelf in the
direction of (1) and lift it in the direction of (2). Pull the
shelf out.
• To reinstall a shelf—Tilt the front of the shelf up and
guide the shelf hooks into the slots at a desired height.
Then lower the front of the shelf so that the hooks drop
into the slots.
wwCAUTION: Make sure that shelves are level from one
side to the other. Failure to do so may result in the shelf
falling or food spilling.
Sliding Out Shelves
• To slide the shelf out, carefully pull the front of the
shelf toward you.
• To slide the shelf in, push the shelf in until it stops.
