on the refrigerator. Rub a small amount of liquid dish soap
over the adhesive with your fingers. Wipe with warm water
and dry.
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 the "Refrigerator Safety" section.
• To remove the protective (tranparent) film that is on the
nameplate, use your fingernail and peel oft the film, stating
from one side and peeling to the other.
• if your refrigerator has a stainless steel or Satina TM Stainless
Look finish, remove the protective film.
When Moving Your Refrigerator:
Your refrigerator is heavy. When moving the refrigerator
for cleaning or service, be sure to protect the floor.
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.
Cleaning before use
After you remove all of the package materials, clean the inside of
your refrigerator before using it. See the cleaning instructions in
the "Refrigerator Care" section.
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.
For your protection, tempered glass is designed to shatter
into many small, pebble-size pieces. This is normal. Glass
shelves and covers are heavy. Use special care when
removing them to avoid impact from dropping.
Explosion Hazard
Keep flammable materiaJa and vapors, such as
gasoline, away from refrigerator.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
IMPORTANT: Do not install the refrigerator near an oven,
radiator, or other heat source, nor in a location where the
temperature will fall below 40°F (5°C).
Allow at least 3" (7.5 cm) of air space at the top and on both sides
of the refrigerator and 1" (2.5 cm) between the back of the
refrigerator and the wall. If the refrigerator is to be against a wall,
leave extra space on the hinge side so the door can open wider.
NOTE: This refrigerator may be installed side by side with
another refrigerator or freezer. Allow for a3" (7.5 cm) clearance at
the top and sides and a 1/4"(0.64 cm) clearance between the
appliances.

Your new refrigerator may make sounds that your old one didn't
make. Because the sounds are new to you, you might be
concerned about them. 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 and
what may be making them.
• Your refrigerator is designed to run more efficiently to keep
your food items at the desired temperatures and to minimize
energy usage. The high efficiency compressor and fans may
cause your refrigerator to run longer than your old one. You
may also hear a pulsating or high-pitched sound from the
compressor or fans adjusting to optimize performance.
• You may hear the evaporator fan motor circulating air through
the refrigerator compartment. The fan speed may increase as
you open the doors or add warm food.
• Rattling noises may come from the flow of refrigerant, the
water line, or items stored on top of the refrigerator.
• Water dripping on the defrost heater during a defrost cycle
may cause a sizzling sound.
• As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to
the refrigerant flowing in your refrigerator.
• Contraction and expansion of the inside walls may cause a
popping noise.
• You may hear air being forced over the condenser by the
condenser fan.
• You may hear water running into the drain pan during the
defrost cycle.
REFRIGERATORUSE
In order to ensure proper temperature, you need to permit proper
airflow in the refrigerator. As shown in the illustration, cool air
enters through the refrigerator wall and moves down. The air then
recirculates through the vent near the bottom.
Do not block any of these vents with food packages, if the vents
are blocked, airflow will be prevented, and temperature and
moisture problems may occur.
IMPORTANT: To prevent odors and drying out of food, wrap or
cover foods tightly.
Setting the Control
For your convenience, your refrigerator control is preset at the
factory. When you first install your refrigerator, make sure that the
control is still preset to the mid-setting as shown.
<1
NOTE: To turn your refrigerator off, turn the refrigerator control to
the setting shown. Your product will not cool when the
refrigerator control is set to the off position.
<1
8
Adjusting the Control Crisper Cover
Give the refrigerator time to cool down completely before adding
food. It is best to wait 24 hours before putting food into the
refrigerator. The control is set correctly when milk or juice is as
cold as you like. Move the dial one setting at a time and wait
24 hours between adjustments.
IMPORTANT: If you add food before the refrigerator has cooled
completely, your food may spoil. Turning the Temperature Control
to a colder (higher) than recommended setting will not cool the
compartment any faster.
NOTE: During high humidity, moisture may form on the outside of
the refrigerator. To prevent rust, dry the refrigerator's exterior and
reset the Temperature Control to a colder (higher) setting.
To remove the crisper(s) cover:
1. Remove crisper(s). Hold the glass insert firmly with one hand
and press up in the center of the glass insert until it rises
above the plastic frame. Carefully slide the glass insert
forward to remove.
2. Lift the cover frame and remove it.

6. Lorsque le r6frig@ateur est compl_tement rempli d'aliments,
rev6rifier avec un niveau comme h 1'6tape 4.
L'eau qui d6goutte sur le dispositif de chauffage durant le
programme de d_givrage peut produire un gr6sillement.
A la fin de chaque programme, vous pouvez entendre un
gargouillement attribuable au refrigerant qui se trouve dans
votre r6frig6rateur.
La contraction et I'expansion des parois internes peuvent
produire un bruit sec.
Vous pouvez entendre de I'air forcer sur le condenseur par le
ventilateur du condenseur.
• Vous pouvez entendre I'_coulement de I'eau dans le plat de
r6cup6ration d'eau de d6givrage pendant le programme de
d6givrage.
UTILISATION
DUREFRIGERATEUR
Pour s'assurer d'avoir des temp@atures appropri6es, il faut
permettre h I'air de circuler dans le r6frig@ateur. Comme I'indique
I'illustration, I'air froid p6n6tre dans tout le refrig@ateur et se
d6place vers le bas. L'air recircule ensuite par 1'6vent pres de la
base.
II est possible que le r6frig@ateur neuf emette des bruits que
I'appareil pr6c6dent ne produisait pas. Comme ces bruits sont
nouveaux, ils peuvent vous inqui6ter. La plupart de ces nouveaux
bruits sont normaux. Des surfaces dures comme le plancher, les
murs et les armoires peuvent faire paraftre les bruits plus forts
qu'en r6alit& Les descriptions suivantes indiquent le genre de
bruits et leur origine.
• Votre refrig@ateur est con£u pour fonctionner plus
efficacement afin de garder les aliments h la temp@ature
d6sir6e et pour minimiser la consommation d'6nergie. Le
compresseur et les ventilateurs tr_s efficaces peuvent faire
fonctionner votre r6frig@ateur plus Iongtemps que I'ancien.
Vous pouvez aussi entendre des bruits saccad6s ou aigus
provenant du compresseur et des ventilateurs qui s'ajustent
pour optimiser la performance.
• Vous pouvez entendre le moteur du ventilateur d'evaporation
qui fait circuler I'air dans le r6frig6rateur. La vitesse du
ventiiateur peut augmenter si on ouvre lee portes ou si on
ajoute des aliments chauds.
• Les vibrations sonores peuvent provenir de I'_coulement du
r6frig@ant, de la canalisation d'eau ou d'articles places sur le
r_frig6rateur.
Ne pas obstruer I'une ou I'autre de ces ouvertures d'a@ation
avec des aliments emball6s. Si les ouvertures d'a@ation sont
bloqu6es, le courant d'air sera coupe et des probl_mes de
temperature et d'humidit6 peuvent survenir.
IMPORTANT : Pour emp6cher le transfert d'odeurs et
I'ass_chement dee aliments, envelopper ou recouvrir
herm_tiquement les aliments.
