Measuring the Opening
When installing your refrigerator, measure carefully. 1.3
cm (
1
2”) of air space should be provided for the top and
back of the refrigerator.
Subflooring or floor coverings (i.e. carpet, tile, wood
floors, rugs) may make your opening smaller than
anticipated.
Some clearance may be gained by using the leveling
procedure under Leveling.
Important: If refrigerator is to be installed into a
recess where the top of the refrigerator is completely
covered, use dimensions from floor to top of hinge cap
to verify proper clearance.
Transporting Your Refrigerator
NEVER transport refrigerator on its side. If an
upright position is not possible, lay refrigerator on its
back. Allow refrigerator to sit upright for
approximately 30 minutes before plugging it in to
assure oil returns to the compressor. Plugging the
refrigerator in immediately may cause damage to
internal parts.
Use an appliance dolly when moving refrigerator.
ALWAYS truck refrigerator from its side or
back–NEVER from its front.
Protect outside finish of refrigerator during transport
by wrapping cabinet in blankets or inserting padding
between the refrigerator and dolly.
Secure refrigerator to dolly firmly with straps or
bungee cords. Thread straps through handles when
possible. Do not over-tighten. Over-tightening
restraints may dent or damage outside finish.
Leveling
To protect property and refrigerator from
damage, observe the following:
Protect vinyl or other flooring with cardboard, rugs,
or other protective material.

Food Storage Tips
Fresh Food Storage
The fresh food compartment of a refrigerator should
be kept between 1°-4° C with an optimum
temperature of 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 4° C adjust the
controls 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 10).
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 humidity can shorten
storage times (especially leafy vegetables). Drain
vegetables well before storing.
Wait to wash fresh produce until right before use.
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 itself. 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 -18° C. To check the
temperature, place an appliance thermometer
between the frozen packages and check after 24
hours. If the temperature is above -18° C, adjust the
control as described on page 7.
A freezer operates more efficiently when it is at least
two-thirds 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 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.

Energy Saving Tips
Avoid overcrowding refrigerator shelves. This reduces
air circulation around food and causes refrigerator to
run longer.
Avoid adding too much warm food to refrigerator at
one time. This overloads compartments and slows
rate of cooling.
Do not use aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper
toweling as shelf liners. This decreases air flow and
causes refrigerator to run less efficiently.
A freezer that is two-thirds full runs most efficiently.
Locate refrigerator in coolest part of room. Avoid
areas of direct sunlight, or near heating ducts,
registers or other heat producing appliances. If this is
not possible, isolate exterior by using a section of
cabinet.
Clean door gaskets every three months according to
cleaning instructions. This will assure that door seals
properly and refrigerator runs efficiently.
Take time to organize items in refrigerator to reduce
time that door is open.
Be sure your doors are closing securely by leveling
refrigerator as instructed in your installation
instructions.
Clean condenser coils as indicated in the cleaning
instructions every three months. This will increase
energy efficiency and cooling performance.
To avoid electrical shock which can cause severe
personal injury or death, disconnect power to
refrigerator before cleaning. After cleaning,
reconnect power.

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 overall. Because new refrigerators run quieter, sounds may be detected that
were present in older refrigerators, 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.
SOUND
Clicking
Air rushing or
whirring
Gurgling or
boiling sound
Thumping
Vibrating noise
Buzzing
Humming
Hissing or
popping
POSSIBLE CAUSE
Freezer control (A) clicks when starting or
stopping compressor.
Motorized device (B) sounds like an electric
clock and snaps in and out.
Freezer fan (C) and condenser fan (D) make
this noise while operating.
Evaporator (E) and heat exchanger (F)
refrigerant makes this noise when flowing.
Ice cubes from ice maker (select models) drop
into ice bucket (G).
Compressor (H) makes a pulsating sound
while running.
Refrigerator is not level.
Ice maker water valve (I) hookup (select
models) buzzes when ice maker fills with
water.
Ice maker (J) is in the ‘on’ position without
water connection.
Compressor (H) can make a high-pitched hum
while operating.
Defrost heater (K) hisses, sizzles or pops when
operational.
