Installation Instructions

Unpack the Refrigerator

WARNING: Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move and install refrigerator. Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

Remove the Packaging

Remove tape and glue residue from surfaces before turning on the refrigerator. Rub a small amount of liquid dish soap over the adhesive with your fingers. Wipe with warm water and dry.

NOTE: Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, flammable fluids, or abrasive cleaners to remove tape or glue. These products can damage the surface of your refrigerator. For more information, see "Refrigerator Safety."

Dispose of/recycle all packaging materials.

IMPORTANT: Do not remove the white foam air return insert that is located behind the control panel on the ceiling of the refrigerator (on some models). The insert is part of the refrigerator and not part of the packing material. If the insert is removed, ice may migrate down from the freezer and cause icicles to form.

When Moving Your Refrigerator:

Your refrigerator is heavy. When moving the refrigerator for cleaning or service, be sure to cover the floor with cardboard or hardboard to avoid floor damage. Always pull the refrigerator straight out when moving it. Do not wiggle or "walk" the refrigerator when trying to move it, as floor damage could occur.

Clean Before Using

After you remove all of the package materials, clean the inside of your refrigerator before using it. See the cleaning instructions in "Refrigerator Care."

Important information to know about glass shelves and covers:

Do not clean glass shelves or covers with warm water when they are cold. Shelves and covers may break if exposed to sudden temperature changes or impact, such as bumping. Tempered glass is designed to shatter into many small, pebble-size pieces. This is normal. Glass shelves and covers are heavy. Use both hands when removing them to avoid dropping.

Location Requirement

WARNING: Explosion Hazard

Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from refrigerator. Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

IMPORTANT: This refrigerator is designed for indoor household use only.

To ensure proper ventilation for your refrigerator, allow for 3.2" (8.13 cm) of space on each side and at the top. Allow for 3.2" (8.13 cm) of space behind the refrigerator. If your refrigerator has an icemaker, allow extra space at the back for the water line connection. When installing your refrigerator next to a fixed wall, leave a 3.2" (8.13 cm) minimum space on the hinge side (some models require more) to allow the door to swing open.

We do not recommend the installation of the refrigerator where the temperature will drop below 45°F (7°C) or rise above 110°F (43°C). The compressor will not be able to maintain proper temperatures inside the refrigerator.

For installations where the temperatures will drop below 50° set the freezer temperature control to the "Coldest" setting this will improve the operations of the refrigerator under these conditions.

Diagram showing required clearances around the refrigerator.

Electrical Requirements

WARNING: Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet. Do not remove ground prong. Do not use an adapter. Do not use an extension cord. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

NOTE: This refrigerator is intended for use in a location where the temperature ranges from a minimum of 45°F (7°C) to a maximum of 110°F (43°C). The preferred room temperature range for optimum performance, which reduces electricity usage and provides superior cooling, is between 60°F (15°C) and 90°F (32°C). It is recommended that you do not install the refrigerator near a heat source, such as an oven or radiator.

Use caution when installing the unit on vinyl or hardwood floors so as not to mark or otherwise damage the flooring. A piece of plywood, a rug or other material should be used to protect the floor while positioning the unit.

Before you move your refrigerator into its final location, it is important to make sure you have the proper electrical connection.

Recommended Grounding Method

A 115 volt, 60 Hz, AC only, 15- or 20-amp fused, grounded electrical supply is required. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only your refrigerator be provided. Use an outlet that cannot be turned off by a switch. Do not use an extension cord.

NOTE: Before performing any type of installation or cleaning, disconnect the refrigerator from the electrical source. When you are finished, reconnect the refrigerator to the electrical source.

Adjusting the Doors

Leveling

Your refrigerator has two front adjustable legs - near each front corner of the refrigerator, next to the rollers. If your refrigerator seems unsteady or you want the doors to close easier, adjust the refrigerator's tilt using the following instructions:

1. Turn the two front leveling legs clockwise to raise the front of the refrigerator and counterclockwise to lower.

Diagram illustrating clockwise and counterclockwise turning of leveling legs.

NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the refrigerator takes some weight off the leveling legs which makes it easier to adjust.

2. Open both doors again to make sure they close as easily as you like and that they stay closed. If not, tilt the refrigerator slightly more to the rear by turning both leveling legs clockwise.

NOTE:

• Before moving the refrigerator away from the wall be sure to turn the leveling legs counterclockwise so that the weight of the refrigerator is fully transferred to the front rollers.
• If the floor is not level and it is necessary to raise the rear of the refrigerator we suggest rolling the rear rollers onto a piece of plywood or other shim material.

Door Aligning

If the space between your doors looks uneven, you can adjust it using the following instructions:

NOTE: Use foam door spacer to set the correct gap between the freezer and refrigerator door. Place spacer between the doors when tightening the freezer door top hinge.

If the freezer door is too high:

1. Remove the hinge cap on top of the freezer door and loosen the screws with a 5/16 " socket and ratchet.
2. Place the door spacer between the doors to establish the correct gap and tighten the hinge screws.
3. Fully tighten all screws and replace the hinge cap.

If both doors are too high:

1. Remove the hinge cap on top of the freezer door and loosen the screws with a 5/16 " socket and ratchet.

Refrigerator Use

Operating Your Appliance

Refrigerator Temperature Control

Your refrigerator has one control for regulating the temperature. As well as a control knob in the freezer to balance the cold air distribution between the two compartments.

The temperature control in the refrigerator compartment will control the actual cooling cycle where as the control knob in the freezer compartment will adjust the distribution of the cold air between the freezer and the refrigerator compartments.

The first time you plug in and turn the unit on, adjust the temperature control knob to "Coldest” in the freezer compartment and "5 - Coldest" in the refrigerator compartment and run for at least 4 hours before placing foods inside. This will ensure the freezer cabinet is thoroughly chilled and the refrigerator compartment will be stabilized before food is placed. Then return selector to "Recommended" position in the freezer compartment and "3" in the refrigerator compartment.

Adjust the temperature control to the setting that best suits your needs. The setting of "3" in the refrigerator compartment and "Recommended" in the freezer compartment will distribute the cold air equally between both compartments which should be appropriate for home or office refrigerator use.

Freezer Temperature Control

1. If you at any time want to distribute a larger amount of cold air to the freezer for example if a large amount of food has been added to the freezer, simply move the controller to the "Coldest" position until the desired temperature has been attained then return the controller to the "Recommended" position.
2. If you at any time want to distribute a larger amount of cold air to the refrigerator section, for example to quickly cool down if a large amount of fresh food has been added, simply move the controller in the freezer to the "Cold" position until the desired temperature has been attained and then return the controller to the "Recommended" position.

NOTE: If the unit is unplugged, has lost power, or is turned off, you must wait 3 to 5 minutes before restarting the unit. If you attempt to restart before this time delay, the refrigerator-freezer will not start.

NOTE: We do not recommend the installation of the refrigerator where the temperature will drop below 45°F (7°C) or rise above 110°F (43°C). The compressor will not be able to maintain proper temperatures inside the refrigerator.

For installations where the temperatures will drop below 50° set the freezer temperature control to the "Coldest" setting this will improve the operations of the refrigerator under these conditions.

Refrigerator Features

Refrigerator Shelves

Your model may have some or all of these features.

Information about glass shelves and covers:

The shelves in your refrigerator are adjustable to match your individual storage needs.

Storing similar food items together in your refrigerator and adjusting the shelves to fit different heights of items will make finding the exact item you want easier. It will also reduce the amount of time the refrigerator door is open, and save energy.

IMPORTANT:

• Do not clean glass shelves or covers with warm water when they are cold. Shelves and covers may break if exposed to sudden temperature changes or impact, such as bumping.
• Tempered glass is designed to shatter into many small, pebble-size pieces. This is normal.
• Glass shelves and covers are heavy. Use both hands when removing them to avoid dropping.

CAUTION: To avoid personal injury or property damage.

• Never attempt to adjust a shelf when it is loaded with food.
• Confirm that shelf is secure prior to loading items onto it.

To remove and replace a glass shelf:

1. Remove the food from the shelf.
2. Lift up after side of shelf slightly and slide it front as far as it will go into the center of the left shelf support holes. The right side of the shelf will release from the support holes on the right. Raise up right side of shelf to remove from freezer compartment.

Crisper

Crisper Drawers

The Crispers provide a storage area for fruit and vegetables. Excess water that may accumulate in the bottom of the drawers or under the drawers should be wiped dry.

To remove and replace the crisper drawer:

1. Slide the crisper drawer straight out to the stop. Lift the front and slide the drawer out the rest of the way.
2. Replace the drawer by sliding the drawer in fully past the stop.

NOTE: If the refrigerator door prevents you from taking out a crisper drawer, first try removing any obstructing door bins. If bin removal still does not provide enough clearance, the refrigerator will need to be rolled forward from its installation position until the door can be opened enough to glide the drawers out.

Crisper Cover

To remove and replace the crisper cover:

1. Remove the food from the cover and then the crisper drawers.
2. Support the cover from underneath to lift it up and then out of the cabinet.
3. To replace the cover, tilt front of cover frame slightly up and carefully insert the back of the cover frame into the cabinet. With the cover front tilted slightly upward, carefully insert the cover top back into the cabinet.

Crisper Humidity Control

You can control the amount of humidity in the moisture-sealed crisper. For most fruits, slide the control (select models) to "right" to provide and vegetables with skins lower humidity conditions in the drawer. For leafy vegetables, slide the control to "left" to provide higher humidity conditions in the drawer. For best results, keep the crisper drawers tightly closed.

• Fruit: Wash, let dry and store in refrigerator in plastic bag or crisper. Do not wash or hull berries until they are ready to use. Sort and keep berries in original container in crisper, or store in a loosely closed paper bag on a refrigerator shelf.
• Vegetables with skins: Place in plastic bag or plastic container and store in crisper.
• Leafy vegetables: Wash in cold water, drain and trim or tear off bruised and discolored areas. Place in plastic bag or plastic container and store in crisper.

Freezer Features

To remove and replace a glass shelf:

CAUTION: To avoid personal injury or property damage.

• Never attempt to adjust a shelf when it is loaded with food.
• Confirm that shelf is secure prior to loading items onto it.

1. Remove the food from the shelf.
2. Lift up after side of shelf slightly and slide it front as far as it will go into the center of the left shelf support holes. The right side of the shelf will release from the support holes on the right. Raise up right side of shelf to remove from freezer compartment.

Door Features

Door Bins

The door bins are removable for easy cleaning and adjustment.

1. To remove the bin, simply lift the bin up and pull straight out.
2. To replace the bin, slide it in above the support and push down until it snaps into place.

Diagram showing door bin removal and replacement.

2. To replace the bin, slide it in above the support and push down until it snaps into place.

Food Storage Guide

Fresh Food Storage

• The fresh food compartment of a refrigerator should be kept between 34°F (1°C) and 40°F (4°C) with an optimum temperature of 37°F (3°C). To check the temperature, place an appliance thermometer in a glass of water and place in the center of the refrigerator. Check after 24 hours. If the temperature is above 40°F (4°C) adjust the control as explained on "Temperature Control" page.
• Avoid overcrowding the refrigerator shelves. This reduces the circulation of air around the food and results in uneven cooling.
• Storage in the crisper drawers traps humidity to help preserve the fruit and vegetable quality for longer time periods.
• Sort fruits and vegetables before storage and use bruised or soft items first. Discard those showing signs of decay.
• Always wrap odorous foods such as onions and cabbage so the odor does not transfer to other foods.
• While vegetables need a certain amount of humidity to remain fresh, too much moisture can shorten storage times (especially leafy items). Drain vegetables well before storing.
• Raw meat and poultry should be wrapped securely so leakage and contamination of other foods or surfaces does not occur.
• Occasionally mold will develop on the surface of hard cheeses (Swiss, Cheddar, Parmesan). Cut off at least an inch around and below the moldy area. Keep your knife or instrument out of the mold itself. Do not try to save individual cheese slices, soft cheese, cottage cheese, cream, sour cream or yogurt when mold appears.
• Most dairy foods such as milk, yogurt, sour cream and cottage cheese have freshness dates on their cartons for appropriate length of storage. Store these foods in the original carton and refrigerate immediately after purchasing and after each use.

Freezer Storage

• The freezer compartment of a refrigerator should be kept at approximately 0°F (-18°C). To check the temperature, place an appliance thermometer between the frozen packages and check after 24 hours. If the temperature is above 0°F (-18°C), adjust the control as explained on "Temperature Control" page.
• Storage times will vary according to the quality and type of food, the type of packaging or wrap used (should be airtight and moisture-proof), and the storage temperature.
• Seal the package or container securely to avoid taste and odor transfer throughout the product. Ice crystals inside a sealed package are normal. This simply means that moisture in the food and air inside the package have condensed, creating ice crystals.
• A freezer operates more efficiently when it is at least 2/3 full. Leave a space between the packages so cold air can circulate freely, allowing food to freeze as quickly as possible.
• To minimize dehydration and quality deterioration use aluminum foil, freezer wrap, freezer bags or airtight containers. Force as much air out of the packages as possible and be sure they are tightly sealed. Trapped air can cause the food to dry out, change color and develop an off-flavor (freezer burn).
• Do not refreeze meat that has completely thawed.
• Avoid adding too much warm food to the freezer at one time. This overloads the freezer, slows the rate of freezing and can raise the temperature of frozen foods.
• Avoid storing hard-to-freeze foods such as ice cream and orange juice on the freezer door shelves. These foods are best stored in the freezer interior where the temperature varies less with door openings.

Refrigerator Care

Cleaning

WARNING: Explosion Hazard

Use nonflammable cleaner. Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

Both the refrigerator and freezer sections defrost automatically. However, clean both sections about once a month to avoid buildup of odors. Wipe up spills immediately.

IMPORTANT: Because air circulates between both sections, any odors formed in one section will transfer to the other. You must thoroughly clean both sections to eliminate odors. To avoid odor transfer and drying out of food, wrap or cover foods tightly.

To Clean Your Refrigerator

WARNING: To avoid electrical shock which can cause severe personal injury or death, disconnect the power cord before moving or cleaning the refrigerator.

NOTE: Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners such as window sprays, scouring cleansers, flammable fluids, cleaning waxes, concentrated detergents, bleaches or cleansers containing petroleum products on exterior surfaces (doors and cabinet), plastic parts, interior and door liners or gaskets. Do not use paper towels, scouring pads, or other harsh cleaning tools.

1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Hand wash, rinse, and dry removable parts and interior surfaces thoroughly. Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water.
3. Clean the exterior surfaces.

Painted metal or Active Finish™: Wash painted metal exteriors with a clean, soft cloth or sponge and a mild detergent in warm water. Rinse surfaces with clean, warm water and dry immediately to avoid water spots.

Stainless Steel: Wash stainless steel surfaces with a clean, soft cloth or sponge and a mild detergent in warm water. Rinse surfaces with clean, warm water and dry immediately to avoid water spots.

NOTE: When cleaning stainless steel, always wipe in the direction of the grain to avoid cross-grain scratching.

4. Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.

NOTE: The condenser does not require cleaning, however the conditions may warrant inspection and occasional dust and pet hair removal from the machine compartment by a service professional to ensure no damage to the product.

Vacation and Moving Care

Vacations

If You Choose to Leave the Refrigerator On While You're Away:

• Use up any perishables and freeze other items.

If You Choose to Turn Off the Refrigerator Before You Leave:

1. Remove all food from the refrigerator.
2. Disconnect the refrigerator from the electrical outlet.
