It is important to prepare your refrigerator for use. This section will tell you how to clean it, connect it to

a power source, install it and level it.

Cleaning it

sary. See cleaning instructions on page 13.

Plugging it in

Recommended Grounding Method

A 220 Volt, 60 Hz., AC only 15 or 20 ampere

fused and properly grounded electrical supply is

required. It is recommended that a separate

circuit serving only this appliance be provided.

a switch or pull chain. Do not use an extension

cord.

Installing it properly

1. Allow 1.25 cm (% inch) space on each side

and at the top of the refrigerator for ease of

installation.

against a wall, you might want to leave extra

space so the door can be opened wider.

3. The refrigerator can be flush against the wall.

Leveling it

Your refrigerator has 2 front leveling screws-one

on the right and one on the left. To adjust one or

both of these, follow the directions below.

In order to obtain the best possible results from your refrigerator, it is important that you operate it

properly. This section will tell you how to do just that.

Setting the controls

Temperature controls

Controls for the refrigerator and freezer are in the

refrigerator. When the refrigerator is plugged in

for the first time:

1. Set the Refrigerator Control to 4.

Refrigerator Control adjustments range from

1 (warmest) to 8 (coldest).

2. Set the Freezer Control to C.

Freezer Control adjustments range from

A (coldest) to D (warmest).

3. Give the refrigerator time to cool down

completely before adding food. This may take

several hours.

The settings indicated above should be

correct for normal, household refrigerator

usage. The controls will be set correctly when

milk or juice is as cold as you like and when

ice cream is firm. If you need to adjust these

settings, see “Changing the control settings”

on page 8.

Exterior moisture control

The Exterior Moisture Control operates electric

heaters around the door openings. These heaters

help keep moisture from forming on the outside

of the refrigerator cabinet.

1. Use the OFF setting when humidity is low.

2. Use the ON setting if moisture forms on the

outside of the refrigerator cabinet.

Changing the control settings

If you need to adjust temperatures in refrigerator
