, Allow for a free flow of air through the front base
grille.
Install the refrigerator where the room temperature
will not go below 55° F 03 ° C}. With temperatures
below 55° F 03 ° C}, the refrigerator will not run
frequently enough to maintain proper temperature in
the freezer.
Allow a minimum '/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
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.
To enhance its appearance and to maintain
performance, your refrigerator should be leveled after it
has been rolled into its final location.
, Adjust the leveling/lock screws beneath each front
corner at the base of the cabinet. Turn these
bveling/Iock screws clockwise to raise a cabinet
corner and counterclockwise to lower a cabinet
corner.
To raise

Your refrigerator will run continuously for several
hours when you first start it. This is normal.
, Let the refrigerator run at least four hours before
adding food.
Adjusting the Temperature
, 2/4 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 following

or slide (such as bagged vegetables).
ice Cube Trays
Select models are equipped with ice cube trays, To
release the ice cubes from a tray, hold the tray upside
down over a container and twist both ends.
Automatic ice Maker (optional}
, Energy rating guides that are posted on the
refrigerator at the time of purchase do not include
optional ice maker energy usage.
Select models are automatic ice maker ready. The
number of the appropriate ice maker kit needed for
installation into these models appears on the data
plate. The kit contains installation instructions and
water connection instructions.
Other models have a factory installed ice maker.
Connect the ice maker to the water supply as
instructed in the separate instructions furnished with
the ice maker. Proper water flow and a level
refrigerator is essentiam for optimal iee maker
After your refrigerator has been connected to the water
supply, move the sensor arm into the down position.
The ice maker will fill with water when the freezer
reaches the proper temperature.
Some ice makers are equipped with an adjustable
sensor arm that allows you to adjust the amount of ice
in your ice storage tray for times when less ice is
needed.
, When the ice cubes are ejected it is normal for
several cubes to be joined together at the ends. They
can easily be broken apart. The ice maker will
continue to make ice until the supply of ice cubes
raises the sensor arm, shutting the ice maker off.
, Certain sounds may accompany the various cycles of
the ice maker. The motor may have a slight hum, the
cubes will rattle as they fall into an empty storage pan
and the water valve may click or "buzz" occasionally.
, If the ice is not used frequently, the ice cubes will
become cloudy, shrink, stick together and taste stale.
Empty the ice storage bin periodically and wash it in
lukewarm water. Be sure to dry the bin before
replacing it.
, To remove the ice bin, pull it forward, away from the
ice maker. To avoid the ice maker dumping ice while
the bin is removed, turn the ice maker off by lifting
the sensor arm.
, To replace the ice bin, reverse the above procedure.
Turn the ice maker on by lowering the sensor arm.
, Beverage and foods should not be placed in the ice
storage bin for quick chilling. These items can block
the sensor arm, causing the ice maker to malfunction.
Turn off (arm up} the ice maker when the water
supply is to be shut off for several hours.
Wire Lever Arm
Arm
To adjust the amount of ice produced: (select
models} Rotate the wire lever arm to provide the
desired level of ice production. The 100% setting
provides maximum ice production.
It may be 8 to 12 hours before the ice maker
furnishes any usable ice cubes. The first one or two
batches will probably contain undersized and
irregular cubes because of air in the supply line,
The initial batch may also contain impurities from the
new water supply piping. Therefore, all cubes from
the first two or three batches should be discarded.

Fresh Food Storage
. The fresh food compartment of a refrigerator should
be kept between 34° F (1° C} and 40 ° F (a° 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. Wfthe temperature
is above 40° F (4° C} adjust the control as explained
on page 7.
. Avoid overcrowding the refrigerator shelves. This
reduces the circulation of air around the food and
results in uneven cooling.
Fruits and Vegetables
Storage in the crisper drawers traps humidity to help
preserve the fruit and vegetable quality for longer
time periods (see page 8}.
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.
Meat and Cheese
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 itselL
Do not try to save individual cheese slices, soft cheese,
cottage cheese, cream, sour cream or yogurt when
mold appears.
Dairy Food
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.
Frozen Food 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 F (-18 ° C},
adjust the control as explained on page 7.
A freezer operates more efficiently when it is at least
?/:_full
Packaging Foods for Freezing
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}.
, Overwrap fresh meats and poultry with suitable
freezer wrap prior to freezing.
, Do not refreeze meat that has completely
thawed.
Loading the Freezer
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.
Leave a space between the packages so cold air can
circulate freely, allowing food to freeze as quickly as
possible.
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.

Storage times are approximate and may vary depending on type of packaging, storage temperature, and the quality
of the food when purchased.

Normam Operating Sounds
Improvements in refrigeration design may produce sounds in your new refrigerator that are different or were not
present in an older model These improvements were made to create a refrigerator that is better at preserving food,
is more energy efficient, and is quieter overa& Because new units run quieter, sounds may be detected that were
present in older units, but were masked by higher sound levels. Many of these sounds are normal. Please note that
the surfaces adjacent to a refrigerator, such as hard walls, floors and cabinetry may make these sounds seem even
louder. The following are some of the normal sounds that may be noticed in a new refrigerator.
TIMER: Frost-free]
refrigerators have a defrost timer|
that will generate a clicking|
sound when it cycles the unit_
nto and out of defrost cyc e. [
ICE MAKER: [if equipped) The ice maker]
will occasionally generate a rattling sound|
when the ice cubes are ready to drop down_
into the ice bin. Also, the motor that ejects|
the ice from its tray prior to dropping the|
ice may also be detectable. These are|
normal sounds necessary for making ice.
DEFROST HEATER: During
the automatic defrost cycle, a
sizzling sound may be heard
as water droplets come into
contact with the defrost
heater. This is a normal
sound heard dur ng defrost.
FREEZER COMPARTMENT
CONTRACTION AND EXPAN-
SION: A popping sound may
occur in the freezer when the
unit starts up due to contraction
or expansion of the materials in
the freezer area.
REFRIGERANT FLOW: The flow of the
refrigerant in your refrigerator may cause a
gurgling or rattling sound when the unit is
running or just after the unit cycles off. The
refrigerant is still flowing in the tubing.
AIRFLOW SOUNDS: Both the freezer]
evaporator fan and the condenser fan at the /
bottom of the cabinet will create airflow /
sounds. The evaporator fan is circulating the
cold air throughout the refrigerator and freezer /
compartments. The condenser fan is removing
the heat generated when the un t s coo ed.
COMPRESSOR: In order for a new
refrigerator to run more efficiently,
the refrigeration system may run
longer to keep food at the desired
temperatures for freshness. That
new, high efficiency compressor may
run longer and generate sounds such
as a higher pitched hum or pulsation.
q
WATER VALVE (if equipped): A buzzing[
sound may be detected in the back of_
the unit when the ice dispenser calls foq
the water valve to open to fill the ice I
maker tray. Following the ejection of the I
ice, there may be some water dripping|
sounds when the trays are being filled.
CABINET LEVELING: An unlevel
cabinet may cause rattling or vibrating
noises. This can be fixed by adjusting
the whee s or eve ers proper y.
