First Steps
ROLLER ADJUSTING
BOLT
Adjusting front rollers
Replacing Toe Grill
ThisOwner's Guide provides specific operating instructions for you rmodel° Usethe
refrigerator only as instructed in this Owner's Guide, Before starting the
refrigerator, follow these important first steps:
Location
o Choose a place that is near a grounded electrical outlet, DO NOT use an
extension cord or an adapter plug,
if possible, placethe refrigerator out of direct sunlight and away from the range,
dishwasher or other heat sources,
° The refrigerator must be installed on a floor that is level and strong enough to
support a fully loaded refrigerator.,
• Consider water supply availability for the automatic ice maker,
installation
o Do not install the refrigerator where the temperature will drop below 60°F
(15°C) or riseabove 1!0°F (43°C),,The compressorwill not be able to maintain
proper temperatures,
• In a recessed installation, allow an extra I12 inch (I0-15 ram) on each side for
ease of installation,
- If the hinge side of the unit will be placed against a wall, allow a I 314inch (44
ram) space between the wall and the refrigerator to permit proper door swing°
Door Opening
For best use of the drawers and freezer basket, the refrigerator should be in a
position where both the refrigerator and freezer doors can be opened about 135°°
Leveling
,The refrigerator must be leveled with all bottom corners resting firmly on
asolid floor. Adjust front rollersto level cabinet both front-to-rear and side-to-
side° Keep the cabinet aslow aspossible for stability. Never adjust cabinet rollers
so the front is lower than the rear.,
• 1"Oadjust the front rollers: Open the refrigerator and freezer doors.,Remove
the toe grill by pulling it straight out,, Adjust the rollers by turning each roller
adjusting bolt with an adjustable wrench, asocket wrench or a nutdriver until the
refrigerator is level and stable, The rear rollers are not adjustable,
• Check both doors to be sure seals touch cabinet evenly on all four sides,,
. if the freezer door ishigher than the refrigerator door, raisethe right corner and/
or lower the left corner until the doors align acrossthe top of the cabinet,
• If the refrigerator door is higher than the freezer door, raisethe left corner and/
or lower the right corner until the doors align across the top of the cabinet,.
• To replace the toe grill: Line up tabs with holes and push grill straight on,
Cleaning
, Wash the inside,all removable parts and the outside with mild detergent and
warm water. Wipe dry. DO NOT USE HARSH CLEANERS ON THESE
SURFACES.
• Do not use razorblades orothersharpinstrumentsthat canscratch the appliance
surface, when removingadhesive Iabels Any glue left from the tape or energy
label can be removedwith a mixture of warm water and mild detergent, or,
touch the glue with the sticky side of tape already removed
• DO NOT REMOVETHESERIALPLATE,,

Energy Saving Ideas • install the refrigerator inthe coolest part of the room, out of direct sunlight and
away from heating ducts or registers..Do not place the refrigerator next to heat-
producing appliances such asa range, oven o!_dishwasher If this is not possible,
a section of cabinetry or an added layer of insulation between the two appliances
wilt help the refrigerator operate more efficiently
oLevel the refrigerator so the doors close tightly r
° Refer to this Owner's Guide for the suggested refrigerator settings.
= Periodic cleaning of the condenser will help the refrigerator run more effidently
See Outside in the "Care and Cleaning" section.
o Do not overcrowd the refrigerator or block cold air vents_ Doing so causesthe
refrigerator to run longer and use more energy_Shelves should not be lined with
aluminum foil, wax paper or paper toweling Liners interfere with cold air
circulation, making the refrigerator less efficient, which coutd cause food
spoilage_
o Cover foods and wipe containers dry before placing them in the refrigerator. This
cuts down on moisture build-up inside the unit.
= Organize the refrigerator to reduce door openings,, Remove as many items as
needed at one time and close the door as soon as possible°

Freezer Control
Cool Down Period
To ensuresafefood storage, allow the refrigerator to operatewith the doorsclosed
for at least 8 to 12 hours before loading with food,
Refrigerator Control
o The refrigerator control should be set at the midpoint of the dial for a trial period
of 24 hours.
o After 24 hours, adjust the control as needed Forcolder temperatures, turn the
dial a notch toward COLDEST For warmer temperatures, turn the dial a notch
toward COLD. Adjust temperatures by one increment at a time. The
temperature will increase or decrease, but not necessarily by 1, 2, or 3
degrees.
Freezer Control
oThe freezer control should be set at the midpoint of the dial for a trial period of
24 hours.
° After 24 hours, adjust the control as needed Forcolder temperatures, turn the
dial a notch toward COLDEST,.For warmer temperatures, turn the dial a notch
toward COLD_ Adjust temperatures by one increment at a time. The
temperature will increase or decrease, but not necessarily by 1, 2, or 3
degrees.
Note: When first setting the controls or when changing asetting, wait 24 hours
for the temperature to stabilize before making additional changes_
Turning the freezer control may change temperatures in both compartments. For
example, if the freezer control isturned to acolder setting, the refrigerator control
may have to be adjusted to a warmer one_ Turning the refrigerator control will
change only the refrigerator temperature.

Automatic Ice Maker
Wire
Signal Arm
if your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker, it will provide a continuous supply
of icefor normal use.,The automatic ice maker isan optional accessory which may
be installed in most models at any time,, Call your local dealer for installation.
After the plumbing connections have been completed, the water supply valve must
be opened. Placethe ice container under the ice maker, pushing it as far back as
possible,.Lower the wire signal arm to its "down" or ON position, Because of new
plumbing connections, the first production of ice cubes may be discolored or have
anodd flavor. Throw the iceaway until the cubes made are free of discoloration and
taste. Remember, water quality determines your ice quality, tt is best to connect
icemaker to water that isnot soft. Softening chemicals can damage icemaker_ If
ice maker is connected to soft water, ensure softener is maintained, and working
properly
To stop the ice maker, lift the wire signal arm until itclicks and locks in the "up"
or OFFposition The ice maker turns off automatically when the ice container isfull,
If your model has an adjustable freezer shelf, place the shelf sothe wire signal arm
will hit the ice when the icecontainer isfull.
ice Maker Tips
t. Icestored too long may develop an odd flavor_ Empty the container and be sure
the wire signal arm is in its "down" or ON position. The ice maker will then
produce more ice.
2. Occasionally shake the container to keep ice separated,
3_Keep the wire signal arm in its "up" or OFFposition until the refrigerator is
connected to the water supply or whenever water supply isturned off,
4,,Certain sounds are normal when the ice maker isoperating. They are:
