This guide contains many important safety messages. Always read and obey all safety messages.
This is the safety alert symbol. It alerts you to safety messages that inform you
of hazards that can kill or hurt you or others, or cause damage to the product.
All safety messages will be preceded by the safety alert symbol and the hazard
signal word DANGER, WARNING or CAUTION. These words mean:
DANGER
WARNING
CAUTION
You will be killed or seriously injured if you don’t follow instructions.
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don’t follow instructions.
Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
may result in minor or moderate injury, or product damage only.
All safety messages will identify the hazard, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury and tell you what can happen if
the instructions are not followed.
SAFETY MESSAGES
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury
to persons when using your product,basic safety
precautions should be followed, including the following:
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.
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 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. (Aburned-
out light bulb may break when being replaced.) NOTE: Setting
either or both controls to the OFF position does not remove
power to the light circuit.
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.
Read all instructions before using this appliance.
Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described
in this use and care guide.
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
40°F (4°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, get rid 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 eating quality as you can.”
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Do not store bottles in the freezer compartment - they may
break when frozen, causing damage.

IMPORTANT: Please read carefully.
TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY
RECOMMENDED GROUNDING METHOD
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.
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
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 any circumstances,cut or remove the
third (ground) prong from the power cord.
NOTE: Before performing any type of installation,
cleaning, or removing a light bulb, turn the control
(Thermostat, Refrigerator or Freezer Control depending
on the model) to OFF and then disconnect the refrigerator
from the electrical source. When you are finished,
reconnect the refrigerator to the electrical source and
reset the control (Thermostat, Refrigerator or Freezer
Control, depending on the model) to the desired setting.
USE OF EXTENSION CORDS
Because of potential safety hazards under certain
conditions,we strongly 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 (in the United States) or a CSA-listed
(in Canada), 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.
WARNING
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.
Ensure proper
ground exists
before use.

LEVELING AND DOOR CLOSING
To avoid vibration, the unit must be leveled. If necessary,
adjust the Leveling Legs to compensate for unevenness
of the floor. The front should be slightly higher than the
rear to aid in door closing.
Your refrigerator has two Front Leveling Screws – one on
the right and one on the left. If your refrigerator seems
unsteady or you want the doors to close more easily,
adjust the refrigerator’s tilt using the instructions below:
1. Plug refrigerator power cord into a 3-prong grounded
outlet. Move the refrigerator into its final position.
2. Remove the base grill. See BASE GRILL
INSTRUCTIONS. The two Leveling Screws
are located on the bottom of the refrigerator on either
side (see Fig. 39).
3. Insert a flat screwdriver in slots to adjust the Leveling
Screws (Fig. 39). Turn the leveling screw clockwise
to raise that side of the refrigerator or counterclockwise
to lower it. It may take several turns of the Leveling
Screw to adjust the tilt of the refrigerator.
NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the
refrigerator takes some of the weight off the Leveling
Screws. This makes it easier to adjust the screws.
4. 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
Screws clockwise. It may take several more turns,
and you should turn both Leveling Screws the
same amount.
DOOR ALIGNMENT
If the space between your doors is uneven, follow the
5. Replace the base grill.
instructions below to align the doors:
1. Gently pry off the Top Hinge Cover with a flat head
screwdriver and remove. Loosen the Top Hinge Bolts
using a 10 mm or 13/32-in. socket wrench or
open-end wrench.
2. Have someone hold the freezer door so the space
between the two doors is even, and retighten
the top hinge bolts.
3. Replace the Top Hinge Cover.
Fig. 39

ENSURING PROPER AIR CIRCULATION
In order to ensure proper temperatures, air must flow
between the refrigerator and freezer sections. As shown
in the illustration below, cool air enters through the bottom
of the freezer section and moves up. Most of the air then
flows through the freezer section vents and recirculates
under the freezer floor. The rest of the air enters the
refrigerator section through the top vent.
Do not block any of these vents whit food packages.
If the vents are blocked, airflow will be interrupted and
temperature and moisture problems may occur.
IMPORTANT:
SETTING THE CONTROLS
Your refrigerator has two controls to set the temperatures
one in the refrigerator compartment , and other in the
freezer compartment.
REFRIGERATOR CONTROL
FREEZER CONTROL
NOTE: Setting at higher number of the Freezer compartment,
the temperature of freezer compartment becomes colder.

Because air circulates between both sections, any odors
formed in one section will transfer to the other. You must
thorougly clean both sections to eliminate odors.
To prevent odor transfer and drying out food, wrap or
cover foods tightly. (See the Food Storage Guide section
for details.)

Initially set the Refrigerator Control on the middle setting.
Press the TEMPERATURE ADJUST button until it
reaches the middle position (The Third LED turns ON).
Leave the refrigerator on this setting for 24 hours to reach
the correct temperature. After 24 hours, adjust the
compartment temperature as you desire. ALWAYS wait
24 hours before you adjust the temperature. If you want to
set the refrigerator compartment temperature to a warmer
temperature than the current, continue pressing the
TEMPERATURE ADJUST button until it reaches the
desired temperature.
The freezer control should come from factory on the
middle setting (number 2). Wait 24 hours before adjusting
the freezer compartment temperature. Roll the knob to
set the freezer temperature as you desire. ALWAYS wait
24 hours after any adjustment to reach the desired
temperature.

ADJUSTING CONTROL SETTINGS
Give the refrigerator time to cool down completely before
adding food. It is best to wait 24 hours before you put
food into the refrigerator. The mid-settings indicated in the
previous section should be correct for normal household
refrigerator usage. 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 sensor the

The 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 first. Wait 24
hours after the refrigerator adjustment to check the
freezer temperature. If it is too warm or too cold, then
adjust the freezer control as well.
Use the settings listed in the chart below as a guide.
Always remember to wait at least 24 hours between
adjustments.

FOOD STORAGE GUIDE
Storing Fresh Food
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 code date to
ensure freshness.
Butter or margarine
Keep opened butter in a covered dish or closed
compartment. When storing an extra supply, wrap
in freezer packaging and freeze.
Cheese
Store in the original wrapping until you are ready to
use it. Once opened, rewrap tightly in plastic wrap or
aluminum foil.
Milk
Wipe milk cartons. For best storage, place milk on interior
shelf, not on door shelf.
Eggs
Store in original carton on interior shelf, not on door shelf.
Fruit
Wash, let dry, and store in refrigerator in plastic bags or
crisper. Do not wash or hull berries until they are ready
to use. Sort and keep berries in original container in a
crisper, or store in a loosely closed paper bag on a
refrigerator shelf.
Leafy vegetables
Remove store wrapping and trim or tear off bruised and
discolored areas. Wash in cold water and drain. Place in
plastic bag or plastic container and store in crisper.
Vegetables with skins (carrots,peppers)
Place in plastic bags or plastic container and store
in crisper.
Fish
Use fresh fish and shellfish the same day purchased.
Meat
Store most meat in original wrapping as long as it is
airtight and moisture-proof. Rewrap if necessary. See the
following chart for storage times. When storing meat
longer than the times given, freeze the meat.
Chicken ........................................................... 1-2 days
Ground beef .................................................... 1-2 days
Organ meats (liver, heart, etc.) ....................... 1-2 days
Cold cuts ......................................................... 3-5 days
Steaks/roasts .................................................. 3-5 days
Cured meats ...................................................7-10 days
Leftovers
Cover leftovers with plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Plastic
Containers with tight lids can also be used.

STORING FROZEN FOOD
NOTE: For further information about preparing food for
freezing or food storage times, check a freezer guide or
reliable cookbook.
Packaging
Successful freezing depends on the correct packaging.
When you close and seal the package, it must not allow
air or moisture in or out. If you do, 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.
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 24 hours (no more than 2 to 3 lbs of food
per cubic foot [907-1350 g per liter] 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.
NOTE: Do not store food near the sensor; it may cause
the sensor to malfunction.
USING YOUR REFRIGERATOR
WARNING
Suffocation Hazard
When using dry ice, provide adequate ventilation.
Dry ice is frozen carbon dioxide (CO )
2. When it
vaporizes, it can displace oxygen, causing dizziness,
light-headedness, unconsciousness and death by
suffocation. Open a window and do not breathe
the vapors.
Do not use:
Bread wrappers
Non-polyethylene plastic containers
Containers without tight lids
Wax paper or wax-coated freezer wrap
Thin, semi-permeable wrap

IMPORTANT: Do not store bottles in the freezer
compartment - they may break when frozen,
causing damage.

REFRIGERATOR SHELVES
The shelves in your refrigerator are adjustable to meet
your individual storage needs. This units are all glass
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 when 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.
Adjustable 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 replace a shelf Tilt the front of the shelf up and
place the shelf hooks into metal slots at desired position.
Then lower the front of the shelf so that the hooks drop
into the slots.
NOTE: Make sure that shelves are level from one side to
the other. Failure to do so may result in the shelf falling or
spilling food.
Slide Out Shelves (On Some Models)
You can slide some glass shelves in and out of your
refrigerator as follows.
To slide the shelf out,carefully pull front of shelf
toward you.
To slide shelf in, push shelf in until it stops.
To remove a sliding shelf from its metal frame:
1. Pull the shelf toward you until it stops.
2. Tilt the front of the shelf up and pull it past the stop.
3. Lift up the shelf to remove.
Replace the shelf by reversing the above steps.

ICE TRAY (On Some Models)
Icemaking
If the tray is filled with water
to the highest level, it will be
difficult to remove ice cubes.
To remove ice cubes,twist the tray.
Do not bend the ice tray. Doing
so may result in damage to the
tray.
For quick freeze, adjust the
freezer dial to 3.
To remove ice cubes easily,
in water before removing ice
pour water on the tray or soak it
