Important Safety Instructions ....................................

_k _ -- When using your appliance, always follow basic precautions,

including the following:

•Use the refrigerator only for its intended purpose.

-To prevent possibility of hazard due to electrical

shock, never plug the refrigerator into a receptacle

which has not been grounded adequately and in

accordance with the local and national electrical

codes. See _ warning and the grounding instructions

below.

•Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning or replacing a

light bulb.

•In case of power failure, minimize door openings. If

the power failure is of a long duration, protect the

food by placing blocks of dry ice on top of the pack-

ages or check with alocal frozen foods locker plant

about tempomry storage. Frozen foods which have

thawed completely should not be refrozen.

•Any electrical service cord that becomes frayed or

damaged should be immediately repaired or replaced.

Never unplug your appliance by pulling on the power

cord.

•Your refrigerator should not be operated in the pres-

ence of explosive fumes.

•Children should not climb, hang or stand on the

shelves of this refrigerator.

Enq_'l_*t¢ 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 getdng rid of

your old refrigerator, please follow the instructions

below to help prevent accidents.

•Take off the doors.

• Leave the shelves in place so that children may not

easily climb inside.

_k _ --This appliance is _aign_l to operate on s norms| 115 volt, 15 amp, 60 cycle

line. There should be a separate, grounded circuit aerviog this appliance only. Do not use an

extension cold. Do not use any device that will alter the electrical performance of this appliance.

This appliance is equipped with a three-pronged grounding plug

for your protection against possible electrical shock hazards. It

must be plugged into agrounding receptacle. Where astandard

two-prong wall receptacle is encountered, it is the personal

responsibility and obligation of the customer to have it replaced

with a properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle. Do not

under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong

from the power cord. Do not use an adapter plug.

Installation .............................................................

Your new refrigerator was packed carefully for ship-

meN. Remove and discard shelf packing clips (if used)

located just above each shelf where they hook onto the

frame. To remove plastic clips wiggle the clips sideways

and pull sWaight out.

Location

•Allow for a free flow of air through the front base

grille.

• Install the refrigerator where the room temperature

will not go below 55" E With temperatures below 55",

the refrigerator will not run frequently enough to

maintain proper temperature in the freezer.

•Allow a minimum 1/2" clearance on the sides, top

and back for ease of installation. If refrigerator is

placed with the door hinge side against a wall, you

may want to allow additional space so the door can be

opened wider.

•Use caution when installing the unit on vinyl or hard-

wood floors so as not to mark or otherwise damage

the flooring. A piece of plywood, a rug or other mate-

rial should be used to protect the floor while posi-

tioning the unit.

Energy Saving Tips

•Locate the refrigerator away from heal producing

appliances such as the range or dishwasher, heat vents

and direct sunlight.

• Level the refrigerator and do not block ventilation

around the front grille.

• Keep the freezer full to near capacity so less cold air

will escape during door openings. When the freezer is

less than two-thirds full, place milk cartons half full

of water in the freezer.

•Let hot dishes cool slightly before putting into the

refrigerator or freezer.

• Cover liquids.

• Wipe moisture from the outside of containers before

placing them into the refrigerator.

•Avoid opening the doors too often.

Leveling

Your refrigerator is equipped with front and back rollers

so it can be moved away from the wall for cleaning. To

enhance its appearance and to maintain performance,

your refrigerator should be level.

For refrigerator models with non-adjustable wheels (such

as models MTB 1948 and MTB2148):

• Adjust the leveling/lock screws beneath each front

corner at the base of the cabinet. Turn these

leveling/lock screws clockwise to raise a cabinet cor-

ner and counte_lockwise to lower a cabinet comer

(see fig. 3).

*if the floor is not level and it is necessary to raise the

• rear of the cabinet, we suggest rolling the rear wheels

onto a piece of plywood or other shim material.

For other models:

Remove the base grille by grasping both ends and

pulling straight out (see fig. I).

Adjust the wheels with a screwdriver or a I/4'" sock-

et (see fig. 2).

To prevent the refrigerator from roiling, use the level-

ing/lock _rews. Turning down both leveling _rews

locks the cabinet into place (see fig. 3).

To replace the base grille, align the spring clips with

the round openings in the cabinet and push each end

in until the grille locks into place.

Temperature Controls .........................................

Your refrigerator has Maytag's Dual Cool TM freshness design to control fresh and frozen food temperatures. The con-

trois are located at the top front of the refrigerator compartment.

To adjust the controls, move the slide to the left or right as desired.

Initial Dual Cool TM Control Settings

•The refrigerator control has settings from 1 (warmest)

to 9 (coldest). Initially set this control on 5.

• The freezer control has settings from 1 (warmest) to

9 (coldest). Initially set this control on 5.

*Let the refrigerator run at least 8-12 hours before

adding food.

Adjusting the Dual Cool TM Controls

24 hours after adding food, you may decide that one

or both compartments should be colder or warmer. If

so, adjust the control(s) as indicated in the table

below.

Except when starting the refrigerator, do not change

either control more than one number at a time.

Allow 24 hours for temperatures to stabilize before

resetting.

Changing either control will have some effect on the

temperature of the other compartment.

NOTE: Sliding the freezer control to OFF stops cooling in BOTH compartments. It does not shut off

power to the refrigerator.

No Defrosting

Your refrigerator is designed to defrost automatically.

NOTE: During the automatic defre_t cycle, you may

notice a red glowtreflection in the vents on the back wall

of the freezer comparUnent and you may hear the sound

of water droplets coming into contact with the defrost

heater. This is normal during the defrost cycle.

Warm Cabinet Surfaces

At times, the front of the refrigerator cabinet may be

warm to the touch. This is a normal occurrence that

helps prevent moisture from condensing on the cabinet.

The condition will be more noticeable when you first

start the refrigerator, during hot weather and after exces-

sive or lengthy door openings.

Looking Inside .......................................................
