To obtain the best possible resuits from your refrigerator, it is important that you operate it
properly. This section tells you how to set the temperature control, remove and adjust some
of the features in your refrigerator, and how to save energy.
Setting the temperature control
The Temperature Control is in the refrigera-
tor. It controls the temperature in both the
refrigerator and freezer compartments.
When you plug in the refrigerator for the first
time:
1. Set the Temperature Control to 3 (nor-
mal). Temperature Control adjustments
range from 1 (warmest) to 5 (coldest).
NOTE: Turning the Temperature Control
to OFF stops cooling in both the refrigera-
tor and freezer compartments, but it does
not disconnect the refrigerator from the
power supply.
2. Give the refrigerator time to cool down
completely before adding food. This could
take several hours.
3. Adjust the Temperature Control to have
food as cold as you like. The settings
indicated above should be correct for
normal, household refrigerator usage.
NOTE: The built-in exterior moisture control
continuously guards against moisture build-
up on the outside of the refrigerator cabinet.

Adjusting the refrigerator shelves
The refrigerator shelves can be adjusted to
match the way you use your refrigerator.
To remove the shelves:
1. Remove items from the shelf.
2. Slide shelf straight out to the stop.
3. Lift back of shelf over stop.
4. Slide shelf out the rest of the way.
To replace the shelves:
1. Slide back of shelf into shelf track in wall
of cabinet.
2. Guide front of shelf into shelf track.
3. Slide shelf in all the way.
Removing the crispers and cover
To remove the crispers:
1. Slide crispers straight out to the stop.
2. Lift the front.
3. Slide out the rest of the way.
4. Replace in reverse order.
To remove the cover:
1. Lift cover front and remove the cover
support.
Lift cover front,
then the back.
2. Lift cover up and slide out.
To replace the cover:
1. Fit cover tabs into lowest cabinet slots
and push in. Lower the front retainers into
place.
2. Insert cover support (with the long tab
toward the front) into the groove on the
underside of the cover.
NOTE: If the support needs adjustment,
turn base clockwise to raise or counter-
clockwise to lower.

Using the ice cube trays
If you don’t use the cubes, they may shrink.
The moving cold air starts a slow evapora-
tion. The longer you store cubes, the smaller
they get.
To remove ice:
1. Hold tray at both ends.
2. Twist slightly.
Using the optional automatic ice maker
If you have an automatic ice maker, or if you
plan to add one later, there are a few things
you will want to know:
. The aluminum water inlet tube, supplied
with your refrigerator, is in the rear bottom
of the refrigerator, on the compressor
support plate. Use this tube instead of the
tube provided in the accessory kit.
l The ON/OFF lever is a wire signal arm.
DOWN to make ice automatically
UP to shut off the ice maker
IMPORTANT: Do not turn ice maker on
until it is connected to the water supply.
Instructions for Ice maker water supply
hook up are attached to the back of the
refrigerator cabinet.
. The dial or lever on the side of the ice
maker changes the size of the cubes.
l Good water quality is important for good
ice quality. Try to avoid connecting the ice
maker to a softened water supply. Water
softener chemicals, such as salt from a
malfunctioning softener, can damage the
ice maker mold and lead to poor ice
quality. If a softened water supply cannot
be avoided, make sure that the water
softener is well maintained and operating
properly.

l Cubes are stored too long. Throw them away and make a
new supply.
l Foods in freezer are not wrapped properly. See “Food
Storage Guide” on pages 16 and 17.
l Freezer and ice bin need to be cleaned. See pages 12
and 13.
Ctianging the light bulb
Electrical Shock Hazard
Before removing a light bulb, either
unplug the refrigerator or disconnect
the electricity leading to the refrigera-
tor at the main power supply. Turning
the Temperature Control to the OFF
position does not disconnect the
refrigerator from the power supply.
Failure to do so could result in electri-
cal shock or personal injury.
To change the refrigerator light:
1. Disconnect refrigerator from power
supply.
2. Reach behind the Control Panel to
remove bulb.
3. Replace with a 40-watt appliance bulb.
4. Reconnect refrigerator to power supply.
NOTE: Not all commercial appliance bulbs
will fit your refrigerator. Be sure to replace a
bulb with one of the same size, wattage and
shape.
10

Reversing the door swing
You can change the hinges on your refrig-
erator so the doors open the other way.
Refer to the instruction sheet included with
your refrigerator.
Understanding the sounds you may hear
Your new refrigerator may make sounds that
your old one didn’t. Because the sounds are
new to you, you might be concerned about
them. Don’t be. Most of the new sounds are
normal. Hard surfaces like the floor, walls
and cabinets can make the sounds seem
louder.
The following describes the kinds of
sounds that might be new to you, and what
may be making them.
Slig’ht hum, soft hiss
You may hear the refrigerator’s fan motor
and moving air.
Clicking or snapping sounds
The thermostat makes a definite click when
the refrigerator stops running. It also makes
a sound when the refrigerator starts. The
defrost timer will click when the defrost cycle
starts.
Water sounds
When the refrigerator stops running, you
may hear gurgling in the tubing for a few
minutes after it stops. You may also hear
defrost water running into the defrost water
pan.
Ice maker sounds
l trickling water
l thud (clatter of ice)
If your refrigerator has an ice maker, you
may hear buzzing (from the water valve),
trickling water and the clatter of ice dumped
into the bin.
Saving energy
You can help your refrigerator use less
electricity.
l Check door gaskets for a tight seal. Level
the cabinet to be sure of a good seal.
l Clean the condenser coils regularly.
l Open the door as few times as possible.
Think about what you need before you
open the door. Get everything out at one
time. Keep food organized so you won’t
have to search for what you want. Close
door as soon as food is removed.
l Go ahead and fill up the refrigerator, but
don’t overcrowd it so air movement is
blocked.
l It is a waste of electricity to set the refrig-
erator and freezer to temperatures colder
than they need to be. If ice cream is firm in
the freezer and drinks are as cold as your
family likes them, that’s cold enough.
l Make sure your refrigerator is not next to a
heat source such as a range, water heater,
furnace, radiator or in direct sunlight.

Vacation and moving care
Short vacations
No need to shut off the refrigerator if you will
be away for less than four weeks.
1. Use up any perishables.
2. Freeze other items.
3. If your refrigerator has an automatic ice
maker:
l Raise signal arm to OFF (up) position.
l Shut off water supply to ice maker.
l Empty the ice bin.
Long vacations
If you will be gone a month or more:
1. Remove all food from the refrigerator.
2. If your refrigerator has an automatic ice
maker:
; Turn off the water supply to the ice
maker at least one day ahead of time.
l When the last load of ice drops, turn off
the ice maker. Make sure all ice is dis-
pensed out of the ice maker mecha-
nism.
3. Unplug the refrigerator.
4. Clean it, rinse well and dry.
5. Tape rubber or wood blocks to the tops of
both doors to prop them open far enough
for air to get in. This stops odor and mold
from building up.
Personal Injury Hazard
Do not allow children to climb on, play
near or climb inside the refrigerator
when the doors are blocked open.
They may become injured or trapped.
Moving
When you are moving the refrigerator to a
new home:
1. If your refrigerator has an automatic ice
maker:
l Turn off the water supply to the ice
maker at least one day ahead of time.
l Disconnect the water line.
l After the last load of ice drops, lift the
signal arm to the OFF (up) position.
2. Remove all food from the refrigerator.
3. Pack all frozen food in dry ice.
4. Unplug the refrigerator.
5. Clean it thoroughly. Rinse well and dry.
6. Take out all removable parts, wrap them
well, and tape them together so they don’t
shift and rattle.
7. Screw in the leveling rollers.
8. Tape the doors shut and tape the power
supply cord to the cabinet.
When you get to your new home, put
everything back and refer to page 5. Also, if
your refrigerator has an automatic ice
maker, remember to reconnect the water
supply line.
To restart refrigerator, see “Using Your
Refrigerator” on page 7.
14

Power interruptions
If electricity goes off, call the power com-
pany. Ask how long power will be off.
1. If service will be interrupted 24 hours or
less, keep both doors closed. This
helps food stay frozen.
2. If service will be interrupted longer than
24 hours:
(a) Remove all frozen food and store in a
frozen food locker.
OR
(b) Place 2 Ibs. (0.9 kg) of dry ice in
freezer for every cubic foot of freezer
space. This will keep food frozen for 2
to 4 days. Wear gloves to protect your
hands from dry ice burns.
OR
(c) If neither a food locker or dry ice is
available, use or can perishable food
at once.
3. A full freezer stays cold longer than a
partly filled one. A freezer full of meat
stays cold longer than a freezer full of
baked goods. If food contains ice crystals,
il may be safely refrozen, although the
quality and flavor may be affected. If the
condition of the food is poor, or if you feel
it is unsafe, dispose of it.

Food Storage Guide
There is a correct way to package and store refrigerated or frozen food. To keep food fresher,
longer, take the time to study these recommended steps.
Storing fresh food
Wrap or store food placed in the refrigerator
in airtight and moisture-proof material. This
prevents food odor and taste transfer
throughout the refrigerator. For dated
products, check code date to ensure fresh-
ness.
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)
Store in crisper, plastic bags or plastic
container.
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 their store container in a
crisper, or store in a loosely closed paper
bag on a refrigerator shelf.
E99s
Store without washing in the original carton
on an interior shelf.
Milk
Wipe milk cartons. For best storage, place
milk on interior shelf.
Butter or margarine
Keep opened butter in 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.
Leftovers
Cover leftovers with plastic wrap or alumi-
num foil. Plastic containers with tight lids can
also be used.
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.
APPROXIMATE TIME
TYPE (DAYS)’
Chicken 1 to 2
Ground beef 1 to2
Steaks and roasts 3 to 5
Cured meats 7to 10
Bacon 5 to 7
Cold cuts 3 to 5
Variety meats 1 to 2 ,
*If storing meat longer than the times given,
follow the directions for freezing.
NOTE: Use fresh fish and shellfish the same
day as purchased.
16

Storing frozen food
The freezer section is designed for storage
of commercially frozen food and for freezing
food at home.
NOTE: For further information about prepar-
ing food for freezing or food storage times,
contact your local Cooperative Extension
Service or check a freezer guide or reliable
cookbook.
Packaging
The secret of successful freezing is in the
packaging. The way you close and seal the
package must not allow air or moisture in or
out. Packaging done in any other way could
cause food odor and taste transfer through-
out the refrigerator and drying of frozen
food.
Pa&aging recommended for use:
l Rigid plastic containers with tight-fitting lids
l Straight-sided canning/freezing jars
l Heavy-duty aluminum foil
l Plastic-coated paper
l Non-permeable plastic wraps (made from
a Saran film)
Follow package or container instructions for
proper freezing methods.
Do not use:
l Bread wrappers
l Non-polyethylene plastic containers
l Containers without tight lids
l Waxed paper
l Waxed-coated freezer wrap
l Thin, semi-permeable wrap
The use of these wrappings could cause
food odor, taste transfer and drying of frozen
food.
Freezing
Do not expect your freezer to quick-freeze
any large quantity of food. Put no more
unfrozen food into the freezer than will
freeze within 24 hours (no more than 2 to
3 pounds of food per cubic foot of freezer
space). Leave enough space for air to
circulate around packages. Be careful to
leave enough rmm at the front so the door
can close tightly.
Storage times will vary according to the
quality of the food, the type of packaging or
wrap used (airtight and moisture-proof) and
the storage temperature, which should be
0°F (-17.8%).
