ImportantSafetyInstructions

To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury when using your

refrigerator, follow basic precautions including the following:

Read all instructions before using the

refrigerator.

Child entrapment and suffocation

are not problems of the past. Junked

or abandoned refrigerators are still

dangerous...even if they will “just sit

in the garage a few days.”

If you are getting rid of your old

refrigerator, do it safely. Please read

the enclosed safety booklet from

the Association of Home Appliance

Manufacturers. Help prevent accidents.

Never allow children to operate, play

with, or crawl inside the refrigerator.

Never clean refrigerator parts with

flammable fluids. The fumes can create

a fire hazard or explosion.

* FOR YOUR SAFETY.

DO NOT STORE OR USE GASOLINE OR

OTHER FLAMMABLE VAPORS AND LIG-

UIDS IN THE VICINITY OF THIS OR ANY

OTHER APPLIANCE. THE FUMES CAN

CREATE A FIRE HAZARD OR EXPLOSION.

It is your responsibility to be sure your

refrigerator:

is installed and leveled on a floor that will hold

the weight, and in an area suitable for its

SiZe

and use.

Plug it in

Recommended Grounding Method

A 115 Volt, 60 Hz., AC only 15 or 20 ampere fused

serving only this appliance be provided. Use a re-

ceptacle which cannot be turned off with a switch

or pull chain. Do not use an extension cord.

See Electrical Requirements and Grounding

Instructions Sheet in your Literature Package.

Changing the light bulb

Electrical Shock Hazard

Before removing the light bulb, either

unplug the refrigerator or disconnect the

electricity leading to the refrigerator at the

main power supply. Shock and injury can

occur if electricity remains connected.

To change refrigerator light:

1. Disconnect refrigerator from power supply.

2. Reach behind the Control Console to find bulb.

3. Remove bulb.

4. Replace with a 40-watt appliance bulb.

5. Reconnect power supply.

NOTE: Not all commercial appliance bulbs will fit

your refrigerator. Be sure to replace bulb with one

of the same size and shape.

Reversing the door swing

YOUcan change the hinges on your refrigerator so

the doors open the other way. Refer to the instruc-

tion sheet included with your refrigerator.

Ice cube trays

If cubes are not used, they may shrink. The

moving cold air starts a slow evaporation. The

longer cubes are stored, the smaller they get.

To remove ice:

1. Hold tray at both ends.

2. Twist slightly.

Sounds you may hear

Your new refrigerator may make sounds that your

old one didn’t. Because the sounds are new to

you, you might be concerned about them. Don’t

be. 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

that might be new to you, and what may be

making them.

Slight hum, soft hiss:

You may hear the refrigerator’s fan motor and

moving air.

Clicking or snapping sounds:

The thermostat makes a definite click when the

refrigerator stops running. It also makes a sound

when the refrigerator starts. The defrost timer

will click when the defrost cycle starts.

Water sounds:

When the refrigerator stops running, you may hear

gurgling in the tubing for a few minutes after it

stops. You may also hear defrost water running

into the defrost water pan.

Running sounds:

Your refrigerator has a high-efficiency compressor

and motor. It will run longer than older designs. It

may even seem to run most of the time.

Energy saving tips

You can help your refrigerator use less electricity.

. Check door gaskets for a tight seal. Level the

cabinet to be sure of a good seal.

Clean the condenser coils regularly.

. Open the door as few times as possible. Think

about what you need before you open the door.

Get everything out at one time. Keep food orga-

nized so you won’t have to search for what you

want. Close door as soon as food is removed.

. Go ahead and fill up the refrigerator, but don’t

overcrowd it so air movement is blocked.

. It is a waste of electricity to set the refrigerator

and freezer to temperatures colder than they

need to be. If ice cream is firm in the freezer and

drinks are as cold as your family likes them,

that’s cold enough.

. Keep the Exterior Moisture Control in the OFF

position unless moisture forms on refrigerator

exterior.

Make sure your refrigerator is not next to a heat

source such as a range, water heater, furnace,

radiator or in direct sunlight.

CleaningYourRefrigerator
