INSTÃ,LL.6,TION INSTRUGTIONS
.Excessjye We ight Haz ar d
Use two oÍ mote people to move and install refrigerator,
Failure to do so can result in back or other iniury,
1. Remove Packaging Materials
2. Remove tape and glue residue from surfaces before turning on the
refrigerator. Rub a small amount of liquid dish soap over the adhesive
with your fingers. Wipe with warm water and dry.
3. Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, flammable fluids, or
abrasive cleaners to remove tape or glue. These products can damage
the surface of your refrigerator. For more information, see 'Refrigetator
Safety. "
4. When Moving Your Refrigerator:
Your refrigerator is heavy. When moving the refrigerator for cleaning or
service, be sure to protect the floor. Älways pull the refrigerator straight
out when moving it. Do not wiggle or "walk" the refrigerator when try-
ing to move it, because floor damage can occur.
5. Clean Before Using

refrigerator before using it. See the cleaning instructions in
"Refrigerator Care,"
I{ey Eject Lock
To lock or unlock the refrigerator, you must hold the key in the lock
while turning. The lock is spring loaded, so the key cannot be left in the

Ãdiusting the Ðoor
L Locate the two front leveling legs taped among the packing materi-
als.
2. Screw these legs into the front holes on the bottom of the refrigera-
tor. The back of the refrígerator rests on two fixed supports.
3. lldjust the front tegs just enough to tift the cabinet up off of the floor.
NOTE: If your model is equipped with rollers, the front legs should be
lowered enough to lift the rollers off of the floor to ensure the refrig-
erator does not roll forward when the door is opened.
4. Place a leveling tool on top of the refrigerator first side to side, then
front to back. Turn leg counterclockwise to raise a corner. Turn leg
clockwise to lower a corner.
5. Repeat Step 4 until refrigerator is level.
6. After refrigerator is fully loaded, recheck with level as in Step 4.
REFRIGERJTTOR USE
In order to ensure proper temperature, you need to permit proper
airflow in the refrigerator. .A.s shown in the illustration, cool air enters
through the refrigerator wail and moves down. The air then re-
circulates through the vent near the bottom.
Do not block any of these vents. If the vents are blocked, airflow will
be prevented, and temperature and moisture problems may occur.
.Allow the refrigerator to cool 6 to I hours before filling. Never add
more than 2 to 3 lbs (907 to 1,350 g) of material per cubic foot (28.32 L)
of refrigerator space.
NOTE: When the refrigerator is first started, the compressor will run
constantly until the refrigerator is cooled, It may take up to 6 or B
hours (or longer), depending on room temperature and the number of
times the refrigerator door is opened. AJter the refrigerator is cooled,
the compressor will turn on and off as needed to keep the refrigerator
at the proper temperature.
The outside of your refrigerator may feel warm. This is normal. The
refrigerator's design and main function is to remove heat from pack-
ages and air space inside the refrigerator. The heat is transferred to
the room air, making the outside of the refrigerator feel warm.

REFRIGER.ATOR C¡IRE
CleanÍng Your Frost-Free Refrigeratot
Explosion Hazard
Us e n onfl amrnah I e c le anet'
Frost-free means that you do not have to defrost your refrigera-
tor. Frost is removed by air moving and collecting any moisture
and depositing it on the cooling coil' The cooling coil periodi-
cally warms up enough to melt the frost, and the water then flows
down to the drain pan (located behind the base grill) where it is
evaporated.
Complete cleaning should be done at least once a year.
L Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Remove all substances.
3. Wash the inside walls with a solution of mild detergent in warm
water or 2 tbs (26 mg) baking soda to 1 qt (0.95 L) warm water.

. Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners such as wintlow sprays,
scouring cleansers, flammable fluids, cleaning waxes, concentrated
detergents, bleaches or cleansers containing petroleum products on
plastic parts, interior and door liners or gaskets. Do not use paper
towels, scouring pads, or other harsh cleaning tools. These can
scratch or damage materials.
4. Rinse well and wipe dry with a clean soft cloth.
5. Use the appropriate cleaning method for your exterior finish.
Painted metal: wash exteriors with a clean sponge or soft cloth and
a mild detergent in warm water. Do not use abrasive or harsh clean-
ers' or cleaners designed for stainless steel. Dry thoroughly with a
soft cloth. For additional protection against damage to painted metal
exteriors, apply appliance wax (or auto paste wax) with a clean, soft
cloth. Do not wax plastic parts.
6. Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.
7. Replace all containers. Base Grill
To Remove and Replace the Base GriII:
l. Open the refrigerator door and remove the base grill by pulling
down and out from the top.
2. Replace the base gritl by putting the clips in the openings in the
refrigerator panel. Push in until the base grill snaps into place.
Changing ttre tighìtult
NorE: Not all appliance bulbs will fit your refrigerator. Be sure to
replace the bulb with one of the same size, shape, and. wattage.
l. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Remove the light shield. From the front of the light shield, push
backward and down.

necessary sern¡ice call...
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not rernove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or
electrical shock.

' fs the power supply cord unplugged? Piug into a ground.ed 3
prong outlet.
' Is a light bulb loose in the socket or burned out? See "Changing
the Light Bulb.,'
The motor seems to run too much
. fs there sornething preventing the door from closing? Move the
package so the door closes properly.
. Is the roorn ternperature hotter than nor¡nal? The motor will run
longer under warm conditions. llt normal room temperatures, your
motor will run about 40% to BjVo of the time. Under warmer condi-
tions, it will run even more.
. Has a large amount of product just been added to the refrigera-
tor? lldding a large amount of product warms the refrigerator. The
motor normaily will run longer to cool the refrigerator back down.
. fs the door opened often? The motor will run longer when this oc-
curs. Conserve energy by getting all items out at one time, and clos-
ing the door as soon as possible.
. Is the control set correctly for the surrounding conditions? See
"Using the Control."
. Is the door or not closed completely? Push the door firmly shut. If
it will not shut ail the way, see "The door will not close completely"
later in this section.
..ã,xe the condenser coils dirty (on some models)? This prevents
air transfer and makes the motor work harder. Clean the cond.enser
coils. See "Refrigerator Care,"
. Is the door gasket sealed all the way around? Contact a qualified
person or a technician.
. fs there enough air circulation space around the refrigerator?
See "Location Requirements."
NOTEr If the problem is not due to any of the above, remember that
your new refrigerator will run longer than your old one due to its
high-efficiency motor.
Use nonfl a¡nmable cleaner.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

. Does the refrigerator need to be cleaned? See "Refrigerator
Care."
.Ifre the air vents blosked? This prevents cold air movement.
Move objects away from the air vents. See "Ensuring Proper Air Cir-
culation" for air vent locations.
. Is the door opened often? Be aware that the refrigerator will warm
when this occurs. In order to keep the refrigerator cool, try to get
everything you need out of the refrigerator at once and close the
door as soon as the material is removed.
. Has a large amounf of material just been added to the refrigera-
tor? .A.dding a large amount of material r¡¡arms the refrigerator. It can
take several hours for the refrigerator to return to the normal tem-
perature.
. fs the control set correctly for the surrounding conditions? See
"Using the Control."
The door will not close completely or is difficult to open
..Are containers blocking the door? Rearrange containers so that
they fit more tightly and take up less space.
..ã,re the shelves and basket out of position (on some models)?
'Put the shelves and basket back into their correct positions,
.llre the gaskets dirty or sticky? Clean gaskets according to the
directions in "Refrigerator Care."
. Does the refrigerator wobble or seem unstable? See "Ädjust the
Door."
The refrigerator clicks but does not run
. Has the local power failed? Unplug the refrigerator for 30 minutes
to allow the refrigeration system to equalize. During this time, keep
the door closed whenever possible.
