IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
Read all instructions before using this appliance. When using this appliance,
always exercise basic safety precautions, including the following:
1. Use this appliance only for its intended purpose asdescribed inthis instructionmanual.
2. This refrigerator must be properly installed in accordance with the installation
instructions before it isused. See grounding instructions inthe Installation section.
3. This refrigerator should not be recessed or built-in. It isdesigned for free-standing
installation only.
4. If refrigerator isplaced on a counter top or stand, the front surface of the door should
be 3" or more back from the edge of the counter top or stand to avoid accidental
tipping of the appliance during normal usage.
5. Never unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the power cord. Always grip plug firmly
and pull straight out from the outlet.
6. 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.
7. If your old refrigerator is still around the house but not in use, be sure to remove
the doors. This wilt reduce the possibility of danger to children.
8. After your refrigerator is in operation, do not touch the cold surfaces in the freezer
compartment, particularly when hands are damp or wet. Skin may adhere to these
extremely cold surfaces.
9. Don't refreeze foods which have been thawed completely. The United States Depart-
ment 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, i.e., below 40°F. ''
"... 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 reduce 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."
10. Do not use any electrical device or any sharp instrument indefrosting your refrigerator.
11. Unplug your refrigerator before cleaning or before making any repairs.
Note: We strongly recommend that any servicing be performed by a qualified individual.
12. Do not operate your refrigerator in the presence of explosive fumes.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Danger!
Avoid risk of child entrapment! Before throwing away an old refrigerator or freezer, take
off the doors and leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.

Energy-Saving Tips
• Do not place your refrigerator next to a heating vent, a range or in direct
sunlight.
• Keep the doors dosed as much as possible, especially in hot, humid
weather.
• Defrost the freezer compartment whenever frost becomes _ inch thick.
• Cover foods to reduce moisture buildup inside the refrigerator.
Water Connection
The ice maker in the freezer compartment must be connected to a continuous
water supply with a minimum pressure of 15 psig and a static pressure not to
exceed 80 psig. A cold water inlet of 1/4" soft copper tubing with a shut-off
valve is required. A 1/4" FPT (Female Pipe Thread) fitting will make the
connection to the short inlet tube at the back of the refrigerator. The
temperature of the water feeding into the ice maker should be between 41°F
and 90°F for proper operation.
In general, it is always a good idea to use a water filter. A water filter, if it is of
the proper type, can remove taste and odors as well as particles. Some water

is veryhard.Softenedwatermayresultin white,mushycubesthatstick
together.Deionizedwaterisnotrecommended.
Theice makermustbe installedin accordancewith localplumbingcode
requirements.Professionalinstallationisrecommended.
Refrigerator Installation
The refrigerator is designed for free-standing installation only. It should not be
recessed or built in. Install the refrigerator on a base strong enough to support
it when fully loaded. If the base is not level, adjust the feet of the refrigerator.
Allow air to circulate freely around the refrigerator. The following clearances
permit proper air circulation: top - 4", back - 4", sides - 4".
Electrical Connection
Important: For personal safety, this appliance must be properly
grounded.
In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric
shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This appliance is
equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug
must be inserted into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.
Consult a qualified electrician or service center if the grounding instructions
are not completely understood. If doubt exists as to whether the appliance is
properly grounded, have a qualified electrician check the circuit to make sure
the outlet is properly grounded.
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong
from the power cord.
Use of Extension Cords
Avoid the use of an extension cord because of potential safety hazards under
certain conditions. If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a
3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug and a 3-slot outlet
that will accept the plug. The marked rating of the extension cord must be
equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the appliance.

Operating Your Refrigerator and Ice Maker
Do not plug in the refrigerator for 24 hours after unit is set in place. Failure to
do so may result in the unit working improperly.
Thermostat
The thermostat has settings from 0 through 7.
0 is the warmest. 7 is the coldest.
Initially set the thermostat to 3or 4.
After using the refrigerator for 24 hours, adjust
the thermostat to the setting that is best suited
to your needs. Turning the thermostat to 0
stops the cooling cycle but does not shut off power to the refrigerator.
Important: If you unplug or turn off the refrigerator, allow 3 minutes before
restarting it or plugging it back in. It will not restart in less than 3 minutes.
Freezer Compartment
This freezer compartment has a "0" degree freezer that can be used as a
primary-use refrigerator. Please check to determine how long certain meats
and fish can be safely stored in a frozen state.
Using the Ice Maker
Drawings 1 and 2 below show how to turn power to the ice maker off and on.
Drawing 1 Move bar up
until locked
in place
Drawing 2
ON

NOTE: The ice maker will not work unless connected to a water supply line as
described on pages 3 and 4.
Once the water line is connected and the unit is plugged in, open the freezer
compartment and press down the ice sensor bar (Drawing 2). The water will
make its way to the ice maker and begin to make ice when the temperature of
the freezer compartment gets below the freezing point (32°F). When formed,
the ice cubes will automatically drop onto the ice tray. Occasionally the cubes
may freeze together but they can be separated easily.
You will hear sounds when water rushes through the ice maker and when the
cubes drop to the tray during the ice-making process. The ice sensor bar will
gradually rise up as the tray becomes filled with ice, and this will eventually
stop the production of cubes. Ice making will continue once the cubes have
been removed and the sensor bar is lowered.
To manually turn off the ice maker, raise the sensor bar to the "locked"
position (Drawing 1).
IMPORTAN T
• Do not turn on the ice maker unless the
water line is connected and water has
been allowed to flow into the unit.
• Do not place any bottles, cans or food in
the ice maker as this can damage it.
The first batch of ice cubes will be formed within 24 hours after electrical and
water connections have been made for the unit. If no ice is removed, it should
take 3 or 4 days to fill the ice tray.
For sanitary reasons, the first several batches of ice cubes should be
discarded when the ice maker is being used for the first time. If the cubes
show a blue or green tint, they should not be consumed. This is an indication
that the water is not pure and should be filtered.
If ice cubes have not been removed for a long period of time, they may start to
freeze together. You can turn off the ice maker by raising the sensor bar as
shown on page 5 in Drawing 1. If the ice maker will be off for an extended
period of time, turn off the water supply and disconnect the water connection,
allowing water to drain out of the system.

Shelving and Can Dispenser
The refrigerator has shelves that can be moved to different levels to suit your
food storage needs. The door shelves provide storage for small and large
items and a bottle storage area for tall bottles. The door also has a handy can
dispenser.
Care and Cleaninq
Cleaning the Outside
Clean the outside of the refrigerator with a mild solution of soapy water. Dry
thoroughly with a soft cloth. To clean the door gaskets, use only mild, soapy
water. Never use harsh cleansers, scouring pads or anything abrasive to
clean any part of the refrigerator.
Cleaning the Inside
Unplug the refrigerator and remove food, shelves and trays. Wash inside with
warm water and baking soda solution (about two tablespoons of baking soda
to a quart of water.) Then rinse and dry. Do not use cleansers such as soaps,
detergents, scouring powder or spray cleaners which can cause odors inside
the refrigerator.
Wash the ice tray and shelving in mild detergent solution and dry with a soft
cloth. To help prevent odors, leave an open box of baking soda in the
refrigerator. Change the box every three months.
Do not wash any plastic parts from your refrigerator in the dishwasher.
NEVER USE ACIDS, GASOLINE/PAINT THINNER FOR CLEANING ANY
PART OF THE REFRIGERATOR. Never use boiling water which can deform
plastic parts.
Defrosting
Your refrigerator is a cycle-defrost model. This means that the unit is
frost-free in the refrigerator section with a manual-defrost freezer.
The refrigerator section should frequently show an ice sheen on the back wall
and periodically this will change to water, fall to a channel built into the wall
and be drained into a container located on top of the compressor in the back.
The internal temperature will allow this process to repeat itself over and over.
If ice persists on the back wall and begins to form a ball of ice, check the
Troubleshooting portion of the manual.

fuertes o abrasivos ni utensilios de alambre para limpiar ninguna parte del
refrigerador.
Para limpiar el interior:
Desconecte el refrigerador y saque toda la comida, las bandejas y los
estantes. Lave adentro con una soluci6n de agua y soda de hornear (2
cucharadas de soda de hornear por cada cuarto de agua). Despues enjuague
y seque el interior. No use limpiadores como jab6n, detergentes, polvos
abrasivos ni rocios o vaporizadores, que dejaran olores en el interior del
refrigerador.
Lave la bandeja de hacer cubos de hielo y los estantes en una soluci6n suave
de agua y detergente y s6quelos con un paso suave. Para prevenir olores,
deje la caja abierta de soda de hornear adentro del refrigerador. Cambie la
caja cada tres meses.
No lave ninguna parte plastica del refrigerador en la lavadora de platos.
NUNCA USE AClDOS, GASOLINA O REMOVEDOR DE PINTURA PARA
LIMPIAR NINGUNA PARTE DE SU REFRIGERADOR. Nunca use agua
hirviendo, que puede desfigurar las partes plasticas.

Su refrigerador es un modelo de descongelaci6n semi-automatico. Esto
quiere decir que su refrigerador no tendra hielo y el congelador es de
descongelaci6n manual.
La parte del refrigerador debe mostrar frecuentemente un lustre de hielo en la
pared de atras y peri6dicamente esto cambiara en agua, caera a un canal
construido a la pared y se drenara en un contenedor Iocalizado encima del
compresor en la parte de atras. La temperatura interna permilJra que este
proceso repetirase repetidamente. Si hubiese hielo en el plato del evaporador
en la pared de atras, por favor consulte Mediaciones y soluciones mas abajo.
La secci6n del congelador comenzara a acumular hielo en las paredes.
Cuando el hielo tenga 6 mm, sera necesario raspar el hielo de las paredes
interiores. Para hacer esto, proveemos el raspador plastico. Nunca use
objeto afilado o de metal, ya que pudiera estropear los conductos en el
congelador. Una perforaci6n en este sistema de ciclo de enfriamiento no se
puede arreglar y haria la garantia nula.
Para descongelar el congelador, apague el termostato (en 0) y raspe el hielo
de las paredes del interior. Devuelva los alimentos a el congelador y de
nuevo arranque el termostato.
