ImportantSafetyInstructions

To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock or injury when using your

refrigerator, follow basic precautions including the following:

Read all instructions before using the

refrigerator.

. Child entrapment and suffocation are not

problems of the past. Junked or aban-

doned refrigerators are still dangerous ...

even if they will “just sit in the garage a

few days.”

If you are getting rid of your old refrigera-

tor, do it safely. Please read the enclosed

safety booklet from the Association of

Home Appliance Manufacturers. Help

prevent accidents.

Never allow children to operate, play with,

or crawl inside the refrigerator.

. Never clean refrigerator parts with flam-

mable fluids. The fumes can create a fire

hazard or explosion.

FOR YOUR SAFETY.

DO NOT STORE OR USE GASOLINE OR

OTHER FLAMMABLE VAPORS AND

LIQUIDS IN THE VICINITY OF THIS OR ANY

OTHER APPLIANCE. THE FUMES CAN

CREATE A FIRE HAZARD OR EXPLOSION.

It is your responsibility to be sure your

refrigerator:

is installed and leveled on a floor that will

hold the weight, and in an area suitable for its

size and use.

is connected only to the proper kind of outlet,

with the correct electrical supply and

grounding.

is used only to do what home refrigerators

are designed to do.

is not near an oven, radiator or other heat

source.

is properly maintained.

is out of the weather.

Recommended Grounding Method

A 220 or 240 Volt, 50 Hz., AC only 15 or 20

provided. Use a receptacle which cannot be

turned off with a switch or pull chain. Do not use

an extension cord.

Install properly

1. Allow 1.25 cm (I/Zinch) space on each side

and at the top of the refrigerator for ease of

installation.

2. If the refrigerator is to be against a wall, you

might want to leave extra space on the hinge

side closest to the wall so the door can be

opened wider.

3. The refrigerator back can be flush against the

wall.

Hold tray at both ends.

2. Twist slightly.

Using Your Refrigerator

Contmued

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.

Slight 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 running. 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.

Running sounds:

Your refrigerator has a high-efficiency compres-

sor and motor. It will run longer than older

designs. It may even seem to run most of the

time.

Energy saving tips

You can help your refrigerator use less electricity.

Check door gaskets for a tight seal. Level the

cabinet to be sure of a good seal.

Clean the condenser coils regularly.

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.

Go ahead and fill up the refrigerator, but don’t

overcrowd it so air movement is blocked.

It is a waste of electricity to set the refrigerator

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.

. Keep the Exterior Moisture Control in the OFF

position unless moisture forms on refrigerator

exterior.

Make sure your refrigerator is not next to a heat

source such as a range, water heater, furnace,

radiator or in direct sunlight.
