PROPER DISPOSAL OF YOUR OLD REFRIGERATOR
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

Where a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, it
is your personal responsibility and obligation to have it
replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.

How it Works
The ClimateKeeper2™ is the industry’s most advanced
refrigeration system, delivering optimum temperature and
humidity performance to keep food garden fresh longer
DQGUHGXFHIUHH]HUEXUQ
The ClimateKeeper2™
system features two
evaporators—one for the
refrigerator and one for the
IUHH]HU
This provides two separate
cooling systems, and
separates the airflow between
WKHIUHVKIRRGDQGIUHH]HU
compartments during normal
cooling operations.*
This ensures that the
humidity levels in the fresh food compartment are
significantly higher than in a conventional system,**
allowing fresh produce and other unsealed foods to
retain their moisture content and freshness longer.
Moisture sensitive foods such as fresh fruit, salads,
rice, etc., can now be stored on open shelves without
excessive moisture loss.

USING THE REFRIGERATOR: ([SUHVV&KLOO
How it Works
The ExpressChill™ feature is a system of dampers, a fan and a temperature
thermistor.
The pan is tightly sealed to prevent the pan’s temperature from causing temperature
fluctuations in the rest of the refrigerator.
The controls for this pan are located in the top of the refrigerator or on the dispenser
with the temperature controls.
How to Use
1. Empty the pan. Place the Chill Tray in the pan. Place
the items on the tray and close the pan completely.
2. Select the ExpressChillpad. On some models, you
can then select the chill time (use chart to determine
best setting). Other models will only have one option
(45 minutes). On models with multiple settings, tap the
pad until the light appears next to the desired setting.

Water filter cartridge
The water filter cartridge is located in the back upper
right corner of the refrigerator compartment.
When to replace the filter on models with a
replacement indicator light
There is a replacement indicator light for the water filter
cartridge on the dispenser. This light will turn orange to
tell you that you need to replace the filter soon.
The filter cartridge should be replaced when the
replacement indicator light turns red or if the flow of water
to the dispenser or icemaker decreases.
When to replace the filter on models without
a replacement indicator light
The filter cartridge should be replaced every six months
or earlier if the flow of water to the dispenser or icemaker
decreases.

Care and Cleaning
Cleaning the Outside
The dispenser drip area, (on

cleaning, lock the dispenser by pressing and holding the
LOCK pad for 3 seconds. Clean with warm water and
baking soda solution—about a tablespoon (15 ml) of
baking soda to a quart (1 l) of water. Rinse thoroughly
and wipe dry.
