IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

WARNING!

Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this Owner’s Manual.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:

■This refrigerator must be properly installed

and located in accordance with the Installation

Instructions before it is used.

■Do not allow children to climb, stand or hang

on the shelves in the refrigerator. They could

damage the refrigerator and seriously injure

themselves.

■Do not touch the cold surfaces in the freezer

compartment when hands are damp or wet.

Skin may stick to these extremely cold surfaces.

■Do not store or use gasoline or other

flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity

of this or any other appliance.

■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.

■Keep fingers out of the “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 the refrigerator before cleaning and

making repairs.

NOTE: We strongly recommend that any servicing be

performed by a qualified individual.

■Turning the control to the

OFF

position does

not remove power to the light circuit.

■Do not refreeze frozen foods which have

thawed completely.

PROPER DISPOSAL OF THE REFRIGERATOR

Child entrapment and suffocation are not

problems of the past. Junked or abandoned

refrigerators are still dangerous…even if they

will sit for “just a few days.” If you are getting

rid of your old refrigerator, please follow the

instructions below to help prevent accidents.

Before You Throw Away Your Old

Refrigerator or Freezer:

■Take off the doors.

■Leave the shelves in place so that children

may not easily climb inside.

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 must use an extension cord, it is

absolutely necessary that it be an approved 3-wire

grounding type appliance extension cord having

a grounding type plug and outlet and that meets

local regulations and standards. The electrical

rating of the cord must be 15 amperes (minimum)

and 120 volts.

DANGER! RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

WARNING!

HOW TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY

Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. For

personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded.

The power cord of this appliance is equipped

with a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates

with a standard 3-prong (grounding) wall outlet

to minimize the possibility of electric shock

hazard from this appliance.

Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a

qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is

properly grounded.

If the outlet is a standard 2-prong outlet, it is

your personal responsibility and obligation to

have it replaced with a properly grounded

3-prong wall outlet.

The refrigerator should always be plugged into

its own individual electrical outlet which has a

voltage rating that matches the rating plate.

This provides the best performance and also

prevents overloading house wiring circuits which

could cause a fire hazard from overheated wires.

Never unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the

power cord. Always grip plug firmly and pull

straight out from the outlet.

Repair or replace immediately all power 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 end.

When moving the refrigerator away from the

wall, be careful not to roll over or damage the

power cord.

USE OF ADAPTER PLUGS

Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against

the use of an adapter plug.

However, if you must use an adapter, where local

codes permit, a

temporary connection

may be made

to a properly grounded 2-prong wall outlet by use

of an approved adapter that meets local

regulations and standards.

The larger slot in the adapter must be aligned with

the larger slot in the wall outlet to provide proper

polarity in the connection of the power cord.

When disconnecting the power cord from the

adapter, always hold the adapter in place with

one hand while pulling the power cord plug with

the other hand. If this is not done, the adapter

ground terminal is very likely to break with

repeated use.

If the adapter ground terminal breaks,

DO NOT

USE

the refrigerator until a proper ground has

been established.

Attaching the adapter ground terminal to a wall outlet

cover screw does not ground the appliance unless the

cover screw is metal, and not insulated, and the wall

outlet is grounded through the house wiring. You should

have the circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make

sure the outlet is properly grounded.

Read and follow this Safety Information carefully.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

About the controls on the refrigerator.

Control Settings

Fresh Food Control

The fresh food control maintains the temperatures throughout the refrigerator.

Moving the fresh food control to

OFF

stops cooling in both areas—fresh food and freezer—but does

not shut off power to the refrigerator.

Freezer Control

The freezer control moves a damper to change the amount of cold air that moves from the freezer

to the fresh food compartment.

How To Test Temperatures

Use the milk test for the fresh food compartment. Place a container of milk on the top shelf and check

it a day later. If the milk is too warm or too cold, adjust the temperature controls.

Use the ice cream test for the freezer compartment. Place a container of ice cream in the center of the

freezer and check it after a day. If it’s too hard or too soft, adjust the temperature controls.

After changing the controls, allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to reach the temperature you have set.

Power Saver Switch

Push switch to the

POWER SAVER

setting to reduce the amount of electricity required to operate

your refrigerator.

With this switch turned to the

POWER SAVER

setting, moisture may form on the outside of the

refrigerator, especially when the weather is humid.

Over time, moisture that forms on the surface may cause rust.

To prevent moisture on the outside, move the power saver switch from the

POWER SAVER

setting.

Cost? About the same as it costs to use 2 night lights.

The temperature controls on your refrigerator have letters and

numbers. Initially set the fresh food control at 5and the freezer

control at C.

If you want colder or warmer temperatures, adjust the fresh

food temperature first. When satisfied with that setting, adjust

the freezer temperature.

About the refrigerator shelves, dishes and bins.

Not all features are on all models.

Quick Serve™ System

CAUTION: Dishes and lids are not

designed for use on the range top, broiler

or in the regular oven. Such use can be

hazardous.

Quick Serve™ dishes fit into a rack that

hangs on the fresh food or freezer door.

The rack can be moved in the same manner

as the door bins.

Dishes and lids are safe for use in microwave

ovens, refrigerators and freezers.

Do not use when cooking high-fat foods, such as

bacon, and high-sugar foods, such as candy and

syrup. The high temperatures of the fat and sugar

can cause bubbles to form on the inside of the dish.

Quick Store Bin

To avoid damaging the refrigerator, make

sure the bin is closed and latched before

closing the refrigerator door.

This bin can be placed on the fresh food or

freezer door.

To remove the bin,

lift up and out of the

bin housing.

To move,

lift the bin housing up and out of

the supports on the door. You do not have

to remove the bin from the housing when

moving it.

you don’t want the extra cold storage.

The settings can be adjusted anywhere

between

COLD

and

COLDEST.

When set at

COLD,

the drawer will stay at the

For models with an icemaker, the shelf

must be placed in the lower position.

Extra Freezer Shelf

Bins on the Doors

Baking Soda Holder

Automatic Icemaker

(on some models)

The icemaker will produce eight cubes

per cycle—approximately 100 cubes in

a 24-hour period, depending on freezer

compartment temperature, room

temperature, number of door openings

and other use conditions.

If the refrigerator is operated before

the water connection is made to the

icemaker, keep the feeler arm in the

STOP

(up) position.

When the refrigerator has been connected

to the water supply, move the feeler arm to

the

(down) position.

The icemaker will fill with water when

it cools to freezing. A newly-installed

refrigerator may take 8 to 12 hours to

begin making ice cubes.

Throw away the first few batches of ice to

allow the water line to clear.

Be sure nothing interferes with the swing of

the feeler arm.

It is normal for several cubes to be

joined together.

If ice is not used frequently, old ice cubes

will become cloudy and taste stale.

About the automatic icemaker.

A newly-installed refrigerator may take 8 to 12 hours to begin making ice.
