INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

These instructions were provided to aidyou in the installation of your refrigerator.

MEASURING THEOPENINGA 1⁄2" of air space should be provided forthe back of the unit to allow for thepower cord and water line. Wheninstalling your unit, measure carefully.

Subflooring or floor coverings (i.e.carpet, tile, wood floors, rugs) may makeyour opening smaller than anticipated.

Some clearance may be gained by usingthe leveling procedure on page 9.

IMPORTANT: If unit is to be installedinto a recess where top of unit iscompletely covered, use dimensions fromfloor to top of hinge cap to verify properclearance.

TRANSPORTING YOUREFRIGERATORFollow these tips when moving the unitto final location:

➢ NEVER transport unit on its side. Ifan upright position is not possible, layunit on its back. Allow unit to situpright for approximately 30 minutesprior to plugging unit in to assure oilreturn to the compressor. Pluggingunit in immediately may cause damageto internal parts.

➢ Use an appliance dolly when movingunit. ALWAYS truck unit from itsside–NEVER from its front or back.

➢ Protect outside finish of unit duringtransport by wrapping cabinet inblankets or inserting padding betweenthe unit and dolly.

➢ Secure unit to dolly firmly with strapsor bungee cords. Thread strapsthrough handles when possible. DONOT overtighten. Overtighteningrestraints may dent or damageoutside finish.

SELECTING THE BESTLOCATION➢ Allow for a free flow of air through

the front base grille.

➢ Install the refrigerator where theroom temperature will not go below55° F. With temperatures below 55° F,the refrigerator will not runfrequently enough to maintain propertemperature in the freezer.

➢ Locate the refrigerator away fromheat producing appliances such as therange or dishwasher, heat vents anddirect sunlight.

➢ A minimum of 1⁄2" clearance is requiredat the back. Allow 1⁄2" at the sides forease of installation. If refrigerator isplaced with the door hinge side againsta wall, you may want to allowadditional space.

➢ Use caution when installing therefrigerator on vinyl or hardwoodfloors so as not to mark or otherwisedamage the flooring. A piece ofplywood, a rug or other materialshould be used to protect the floorwhile positioning the refrigerator.

HOW TO REMOVE THEDOOR AND HINGESSome installations require door removalto transport refrigerator to its finallocation.

WARNING: CAUTION:

REMOVING ODORSFROM REFRIGERATOR1. Remove all food.

2. Disconnect refrigerator.

3. Clean the following items using theappropriate instructions in the Careand Cleaning table on page 16.

– Walls, floor and ceiling of cabinetinterior

– Drawers, shelves and gasketsaccording to the instructions inthis section.

4. Pay special attention to clean allcrevices by completing the followingsteps.

– Dilute mild detergent and brushsolution into crevices using aplastic bristle brush.

– Let stand for 5 minutes.– Rinse surfaces with warm water.

Dry surfaces with a soft, cleancloth.

5. Wash and dry all bottles, containersand jars. Discard spoiled or expireditems.

6. Wrap or store odor-causing foods intightly sealed containers to preventreoccurring odors.

7. Connect power to refrigerator andreturn food to unit.

8. After 24 hours, check if odor has beeneliminated.

If odor is still present:1. Remove drawers and place on top

shelf of refrigerator.

2. Pack refrigerator and freezer sections– including doors – with crumpledsheets of black and white newspaper.

3. Place charcoal briquettes randomlyon crumpled newspaper in bothfreezer and refrigeratorcompartments.

4. Close doors and let stand 24-48hours.

To avoid personal injury or propertydamage, observe the following:

➢ Allow light bulb to cool.➢ Wear gloves when replacing light

bulb.

To avoid electrical shock which cancause severe personal injury or death,disconnect power to refrigeratorbefore replacing light bulb. Afterreplacing light bulb, connect power.

ENERGY SAVING IDEAS➢ Avoid overcrowding refrigerator

shelves. This reduces air circulationaround food and causes refrigeratorto run longer.

➢ Avoid adding too much warm food tounit at one time. This overloadscompartments and slows rate ofcooling.

➢ Do not use aluminum foil, wax paper,or paper toweling as shelf liners.Thisdecreases air flow and causes unit torun less efficiently.

➢ A freezer that is 2⁄3 full runs mostefficiently.

➢ Locate refrigerator in coolest part ofroom. Avoid areas of direct sunlight,or near heating ducts, registers orother heat producing appliances. Ifthis is not possible, isolate exterior byusing a section of cabinet or an addedlayer of insulation.

➢ Refer to recommended controlsettings on page 10.

➢ Clean door gaskets every threemonths according to cleaninginstructions on page 16. This willassure that door seals properly andunit runs efficiently.

➢ Take time to organize items inrefrigerator to reduce time that dooris open.

➢ Be sure your doors are closingsecurely by leveling unit as instructedon page 9.

➢ Clean condenser coils as instructedon page 16 every 3 months.This willincrease energy efficiency and coolingperformance.

REMOVE AND REPLACELIGHT BULBS

FRESH FOOD SECTION1. Slide shield toward back of

compartmentto release fromlight assembly.

2. Remove light bulbs.

3. Replace with appliance bulbs nogreater than 40 watts.

4. Replace light bulbcover by insertingtabs on lightshield into liner holes on each side oflight assembly. Slide shield towardfront of unit until it locks into place.DO NOT force shield beyondlocking point. Doing so may damagelight shield.

FREEZER1. Pinch rear tabs on light cover and pull

straight down.

2. Remove light bulb.

3. Replace bulb withappliance bulb nogreater than 40watts.

4. Insert front tabs of light cover intofreezer liner and snap rear portionover light assembly until rear tabsengage.

FOOD STORAGE TIPS

FRESH FOOD STORAGE➢ The fresh food compartment of a

refrigerator should be kept between34° F and 40° F with an optimumtemperature of 37° F. To check thetemperature, place an appliancethermometer in a glass of water andplace in the center of the refrigerator.Check after 24 hours. If thetemperature is above 40° F adjust thecontrols as explained on page 10.

➢ Avoid overcrowding the refrigeratorshelves.This reduces the circulation ofair around the food and results inuneven cooling.

FRUITS AND VEGETABLES➢ Storage in the crisper drawers traps

moisture to help preserve the fruitand vegetable quality for longer timeperiods. (Refer to page 12).

➢ Sort fruits and vegetables beforestorage and use bruised or soft itemsfirst. Discard those showing signs ofdecay.

➢ Always wrap odorous foods such asonions and cabbage so the odor doesnot transfer to other foods.

➢ While vegetables need a certainamount of moisture to remain fresh,too much moisture can shortenstorage times (especially leafyvegetables). Drain vegetables wellbefore storing.

MEAT AND CHEESE➢ Raw meat and poultry should be

wrapped securely so leakage andcontamination of other foods orsurfaces does not occur.

➢ Occasionally mold will develop on thesurface of hard cheeses (Swiss,Cheddar, Parmesan). Cut off at leastan inch around and below the moldyarea. Keep your knife or instrumentout of the mold itself. The remainingcheese will be safe and flavorful to eat.Do NOT try to save individualcheese slices, soft cheese, cottagecheese, cream, sour cream or yogurtwhen mold appears.

DAIRY FOOD➢ Most dairy foods such as milk, yogurt,

sour cream and cottage cheese havefreshness dates on their cartons forappropriate length of storage. Storethese foods in the original carton andrefrigerate immediately afterpurchas�������������������

FROZEN FOODSTORAGE➢ The freezer compartment of a

refrigerator should be kept atapproximately 0° F. To check thetemperature, place an appliancethermometer between the frozenpackages and check after 24 hours. Ifthe temperature is above 0° F, adjustthe control as described on page 10.

➢ A freezer operates more efficientlywhen it is at least two-thirds full.

PACKAGING FOODS FORFREEZING➢ To minimize dehydration and quality

deterioration use aluminum foil,freezer wrap, freezer bags or airtightcontainers. Force as much air out ofthe packages as possible and be surethey are tightly sealed.Trapped air cancause the food to dry out, changecolor and develop an off-flavor(freezer burn).

➢ Overwrap fresh meats and poultrywith suitable freezer wrap prior tofreezing.

➢ Do not refreeze meat that hascompletely thawed.

LOADING THE FREEZER➢ Avoid adding too much warm food to

the freezer at one time.This overloadsthe freezer, slows the rate of freezingand can raise the temperature offrozen foods.

➢ Leave space between the packages socold air can circulate freely, allowingfood to freeze as quickly as possible.

Refer to the Food Storage Chart onpage 19 for approximate storagetimes.
