• Referto this Owner'sGuideforthesuggestedrefrigerator settings.
• Periodiccleaningofthecondenserwillhelptherefrigeratorrunmoreefficiently.
See Outside in the "Care and Cleaning" section.
• Do not overcrowd the refrigerator or block cold air vents. Doing so causes the
refrigeratortorun longer and usemoreenergy. Shelves shouldnotbe lined with
aluminum foil, wax paper or paper toweling. Liners interfere with cold air
circulation, making the refrigerator less efficient, which could cause food
spoilage.
• Coverfoodsandwipecontainers drybeforeplacingthem intherefrigerator.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.
Setting the Controls Cool Down Period
Toensure safefoodstorage,allowthe refrigerator tooperatewiththedoors closed
for at least 8 to 12 hours before loading with food.
Refrigerator Control
• Therefrigeratorcontrolshouldbesetatthemidpointofthedialforatrialperiod
of 24 hours.
• After24hours, adjust the controlas needed. For coldertemperatures, 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.
Freezer Control
• Thefreezer control should besetatthemidpointofthe dial for atrialperiodof
24hours.
• After24hours, adjust the controlas needed. For coldertemperatures, 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.
Note: When first setting the controls or when changing a setting, wait 24 hours
forthe temperature to stabilizebefore making additional changes.
Turning the freezer control may change temperatures in both compartments. For
example,ifthefreezercontrolisturnedtoacoldersetting,therefrigeratorcontrol
may have to be adjusted to a warmer one. Turning the refrigerator control will
changeonly the refrigerator temperature.
IMPORTANT: If the freezer control is turned to OFF, cooling stops in both
compartments.
You may hear the "Frost Free" system working. A fan circulates air in the
refrigerator and freezer compartments. For good circulation and maintenance of
proper cooling temperatures, do not block cold air vents with food items. Water
draining into the defrost water pan and hissing sounds are normal during the
automatic"FrostFree"cycle.

The Dairy compartment is warmer than the general food storage section and is
intendedforshort term storageofcheese, spreads, or butter.
Crisper
TheCrisperdrawer,locatedunderthebottomrefrigeratorshelf,isforstoringfruits
and vegetables. Most produce should be washed in clear water and drained before
placinginthisdrawer. Items with strongodorsorhigh moisture should be wrapped
beforestoring.
The Humidity Control (some models) allows you to adjust the humidity within the
Crisperdrawer.Thiscanextendthelifeoffreshvegetableswhichkeepbestin high
humidity. Leafy vegetables, however, keep best when stored with the Humidity
Control set on HIGHER, or in a drawer without a Humidity Control. This keeps
incoming air to a minimum and maintains maximum moisture content.
Meat Keeper
The Meat Keeper is located at the bottom of the refrigerator. The temperature in
this compartment can be made colder than the rest of the refrigerator compart-
ment by sliding the Chilled Air Control knob within the COLDEST or COLD range.
Meat will be partially frozen and may be kept fresh longer than if stored on a
refrigeratorshelf.
BeforeplacingitemsintheMeatKeeper, follow these steps to keep the meatfresh:
1. Carefully handle meat with clean hands and always keep the compartment
clean.
2. Storemeatinitsoriginalwrapper.Ifnecessary,overwrapinplasticwraporfoil

Automatic Ice and
Water Dispenser
Theiceandwaterdispenseronthefreezerdoorconvenientlydispenseschilledwater
andicecubes.
Tooperate the dispenser,slide the knob to the selection of your choice and press
aglass against the dispensingarm,as shown. Besure to hold theglass as far upas
possibleto catch all ice. To stop dispensing,pullglassawayfromdispensingarm.
Whendispensing ice, releasethedispensingarmbeforethe glass isfull,butdonot
removetheglassuntil the ice has completelydispensed.
Asmallheatedarea beneath the dispenser floor catches and evaporates small spills.
This drip tray is removable and dishwasher safe. Do not pour water or excess
cubes into this area because there is no drain.
Light
The dispenser has a light which can be turned on and off by sliding the knob to the
desiredposition. The lightalso turns on automatically whenice and/or water is
dispensed.Replace lightbulb withan appliance bulb of the same wattage.
How the Water Dispenser Works
The water tank is located behind the drawers in therefrigerator compartment. As
thewaterisdispensed,thetankisautomaticallyrefilled.Forproperoperationofthe
dispenser, the supply water pressure must fall between 30 psi and 120 psi.
Afterthe refrigerator is installed andtheplumbingconnectionsarecomplete,the
water tank should be filled by drawing one glass of water. It may take
about 1-1/2 minutes after depressing the dispenser arm before water works its
waythroughtheplumbingconnectionsandbeginsto fill this first glass. Drawand
discard7more glasses to be surethatthe tank and plumbing connectionsare rinsed
ofanyimpurities. The water delivery system has a built in shut off device that will
stop the water flow after 3 minutes of continuous use. Simply release the actuator
button to reset the dispensing mechanism.
To ensure fresh-tasting water, plan to use the dispenser every day. If the water
dispenser has not been used for a week or more, draw and discard 7-8 glasses to
freshenthe tank supply.
How the Ice Dispenser Works
Theice maker andice storage binare located inthe top left corner of the freezer
compartment.Aftertherefrigeratorisinstalledproperlyandhascooledforseveral
hours,the ice makercan begin makingice. To begin ice production, lower the wire
signal arm to the "down" or ON position. As cubes are made, they are stored in the
storagebin.Withnousageitwilltakeapproximately2daystofillthebin.However,
thedispenser may beused after thefirst batch ofice is made. The ice maker turns
offautomatically whentheicestoragebinisfull.
Because of new plumbing connections, the first production of ice cubes may be
discolored or have an odd flavor. These should be discarded until the cubes made
arefreeofdiscolorationandtaste. Remember that water quality
determinesyour icequality. Itisbestto connect theicemakertowater that isnot
softened. Chemicals from a malfunctioning softener can damage the ice maker.
If ice maker is connected to soft water, ensure the softener is maintained and
workingproperly.
