vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other
appliance.
DO NOT allow children to climb, stand, or hang on the
refrigerator doors or shetves in the refrigerator. They
could damage the refrigerator and seriously injure
themselves.
* Keep fingers out of pinch point areas; clearances
between the doors and cabinets are necessarily small.
Be careful closing doors when children are in the area.
* Unplug your refrigerator before cleaning or making
any repairs.
NOTE: It is strongly recommended that any service be
performed by a qualified technician.
SAVE THESEiNSTRUCTiONS
5
Before replacing a burned-out or broken light bulb,
unplug the refrigerator or turn off power at the circuit
breaker or fuse box in order to avoid contact with a live .
wire filament. (A burned-out light bulb may break when
being replaced exposing the wire filament.)
NOTE: Some models have LED interior lighting and
service should be performed by a qualified technician.
_, WARNING: Setting either or both controls to the OFF
position does not remove power to the light circuit.
When you are finished, reconnect the refrigerator to
the electrical source and reset the controls (Thermostat,
Refrigerator Control, and or Freezer Control, depending
on the model) to the desired setting.
This refrigerator must be properly installed in
accordance with the Attention Installer Instructions that
were taped to the front of the refrigerator.
After your refrigerator is in operation, do not touch the
cold surfaces in the freezer compartment when hands
are damp or wet. Skin may adhere to the extremely cold
surfaces.
DO NOT touch the automatic ice making mechanism
while the refrigerator is plugged in.
DO NOT refreeze frozen foods which have thawed
completely. The United States Department of
Agriculture in Home and Garden Bulletin No. 69 says:
...You may safely refreeze frozen foods that have
thawed if they still contain ice crystals or if they are
still cold--below 4°C.
...Thawed ground meats, poultry or fish that have any
off-odor or off-color should not be refrozen and should
not be eaten. Thawed ice cream should be discarded.
If the odor or color of any food is poor or questionable,
dispose of it. The food may be dangerous to eat.
Even partial thawing and refreezing reduces the
eating quality of foods, particularly fruits, vegetables
and prepared foods. The eating quality of red meats
is affected less than that of many other foods. Use
refrozen foods as soon as possible to save as much of
their quality as you can.
_, WARNING: This product contains chemicals known to
the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects
or other reproductive harm. Wash handsafter handling.
SAVE THESEINSTRUCTIONS
Junked or abandoned refrigerators are dangerous, even
if they are sitting for only a few days. If you are getting
rid of your old refrigerator, please follow the instructions
at right to help prevent accidents (child entrapment and
suffocation).
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.
6
Your old refrigerator may have a cooling system
that used CFCs or HCFCs (chlorofluorocarbons or
hydrochtorofluorocarbons). CFCs and HCFCs are
believed to harm stratospheric ozone if released to the
atmosphere. Other refrigerants may also cause harm to
the environment if released to the atmosphere.
if you are throwing away your old refrigerator, make
sure the refrigerant is removed for proper disposal
by a qualified technician. If you intentionally release
refrigerant, you may be subject to fines and imprisonment
under provisions of environmental legislation.
iMPORTANT: Please read carefully.

/// before use.
USE OF EXTENSION CORDS
Because of pofenflal safety hazards under certain
conditions, the use of an extension cord is nat
recommended. However, if you still elect to use an
extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL-
listed (USA), 3-wire grounding type appliance extension
cord having a grounding type plug and outlet, and that
the electricai rating of the cord be 15 amperes (minimum)
and 120 volts.
Use of an extension cord will increase the clearance
needed for the back of the refrigerator.
RECOMMENDED GROUNDING METHOD
The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own
individual properly grounded electrical outlet rated for
115 Volts, 60 Hz, AC only, and fused at 15 or 20 amperes.
This provides the best performance and also prevents
overloading house wiring circuits which could cause a fire
hazard from overheated wires. It is recommended that a
separate circuit serving only this appliance be provided.
Use a receptacle that cannot be turned off with a switch
or putt chain. Do not use an extension cord.
Where a standard two-prong walt outlet is encountered,
it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have
it replaced with a properly grounded three-prong wall
outlet.

LEVELING AND DOOR ALIGNMENT
Leveling
After installing, plug the refrigerator's power cord into a
3-prong grounded outlet and push the refrigerator into the
final position.
Your refrigerator has two front leveling legs--one on the
right and one on the left. Adjust the legs to alter the tilt
from front-to-back or side-to-side. If your refrigerator
seems unsteady, or you want the doors to close more
easily, adjust the refrigerator's tilt using the instructions
below:
NOTE: Tools required: 11/16" (18mm) wrench or fiat blade
screwdriver.
1. Turn the leveling leg counterclockwise to raise that
side of the refrigerator or clockwise to lower it. it may
take several turns of the leveling leg to adjust the tilt
of the refrigeraton
o
Open both doors again and check to make sure that
they close easily. If the doors do not close easily, tilt
the refrigerator slightly more to the rear by turning
both leveling legs counterclockwise. It may take
several more turns, and you should turn both leveling
legs the same amount.
NOTE: Your refrigerator is uniquely designed with
two fresh food doors. Either door can be opened or
closed independently of the other. You may have to
exert slight pressure on the doors to get them to close
completely.
Door Alignment
Both the left and right refrigerator doors have an
adjustable nut, located on the bottom hinge, to raise and
lower them to align properly.
If the space between your doors is uneven, follow the
instructions below to align the doors evenly:
Use the wrench (included with the Use & Care Guide) to
turn the nut in the door hinge to adjust the height. Turn
the nut clockwise to raise or counterclockwise to lower the
door.
NOTE: Having someone push backward against the top of
the refrigerator takes some weight off of the leveling legs.
This makes it easier to adjust the legs.
16
SETTING THE CONTROLS
The refrigerator controt functions as the thermostat for the
entire appliance (refrigerator and freezer sections). The
colder the setting, the longer the compressor will run to
keep the temperature colder. The freezer controt adjusts
the cold air flow from the freezer to the refrigerator.
Setting the freezer controt to a lower temperature keeps
more cold air in the freezer compartment to make it
colder.
AIRFLOW
Cold air circulates from the freezer to the fresh food
section and back again through air vents in the wall
dividing the two sections. Be sure not to block vents while
packing your refrigerator. Doing so will restrict airflow
and may cause the refrigerator temperature to become
too warm or cause interior moisture buildup. (See air flow
diagram below.)

The Freezer Temp. Control range is from -6°F to 8°F
(-21°C to -13°C). Pressthe Freezer Temp. button to
cycle through the available temperature settings one
increment at a time.
NOTE: When changing control settings, wait 24 hours
before making additional adjustments. The controls are set
correctly when milk or juice is as cold as you would like
and when ice cream is firm. If the temperature in either
compartment is too cold or too warm, change the setting
one increment at a time. Wait 24 hours for the change to
stabilize before adjusting again.

IN-DOOR iCE BiN
,A_CAUTION
Keep hands and tools out of the ice compartment door
and dispenser chute. Failure to do so may result in
damage or personal injury.
The icemaker will stop producing ice when the in-door ice
bin isfull. if you need more ice, empty the ice bin into the
extra ice bin in the freezer compartment. During use, the
ice can become uneven causing the icemaker to misread
the amount of ice cubes and stop producing ice. Shaking
the ice bin to level the ice within it can reduce this problem.
NOTE: Storing cans or other items in the ice bin will
damage the icemaker.
Keep the ice compartment door closed tightly, if the ice
compartment door is not closed tightly, the cold air in the
ice bin will freeze food in the refrigerator compartment.
This could also cause the icemaker to stop producing ice.
NOTE: If the ON/OFF switch on the icemaker is set to
OFF for an extended period of time, the ice compartment
will gradually warm up to the temperature of the
refrigerator compartment. To prevent ice cubes from
melting and leaking from the dispenser, ALWAYS empty
the ice bin when the icemaker is set to OFF for more than
a few hours.
2. To remove the in-door ice bin, grip the front handle,
slightly lift the lower part, and slowly putt out the bin
as shown.
3. To reinstall the in-door ice bin, slightly slant the
bin during replacement to avoid contact with the
icemaker.
,& CAUTION
When handling the
ice bin, keep hands
away from the
4. Avoid touching the ice-detecting sensor when
replacing the ice bin. See the label on the ice
compartment door for details.
1. Putt or push the door handle to open or close the ice
compartment.

AUTOMATIC ICEMAKER
Ice is made in the automatic icemaker and sent to the
dispenser. The icemaker will produce 10 cubes per cycle--
approximately 100 cubes in a 24-hour period, depending
on freezer compartment temperature, room temperature,
number of door openings and other operating conditions.
It takes about 12 to 24 hours for a newly installed
refrigerator to begin making ice. Wait 72 hours for full
ice production to occur.
* Ice making stops when the in-door ice bin is full. When
full, the in-door ice bin holds approximately 6 to 8 (12-
16 oz) glasses of ice.
* To turn off the automatic icemaker, set the icemaker
switch to OFF (O). To turn on the automatic icemaker,
set the switch to ON (I).
The water pressure must be between 20 and
120 psi on models without a water filter and between
40 and 120 psi on models with a water filter to
produce the normal amount and size of
ice cubes.
Foreign substances or frost on the ice-detecting sensor
can interrupt ice production. Make sure the sensor area
is clean at all times for proper operation.
Personal Injury Hazard
DO NOT place fingers or hands on the automatic ice
making mechanism while the refrigerator is plugged in.
