Allow clearances between refrigerator-freezer and side wall so doors will open a minimum of 90% The floor should be firm, level, and capable of supporting the loaded cabinet's weight, Plug refrigerator-freezer into a 3-wire grounded appliance branch circuit. Refrigerator-freezer is equipped with a 3-prong plug and for safety must be plugged into a properly grounded outlet. If the proper outlet is not available, do not remove the third prong on the plug. Have a qualified electrician replace the outlet. He is aware of national and local electrical codes, and will properly wire the outlet for you. Do not use an extension cord. Roll refrigerator-freezer into place. Do not roll over power cord. Unplug electrical cord before moving refrigeratorfreezer completely from wall. Level refrigerator-freezer so it rests solidly on the floor without rocking. Use a large, flat-blade screwdriver to • If you want the door to fresh food compartment to remain motionless when open, adjust the rollers so that all four corners are level with each other. Turn front adjusting screws one full turn to the right; lower leveling glides snug against the floor, using your hand or an open-end wrench; then turn front adjusting screws one full turn to the left. adjust the rollers at front corners. Adjusting screws are located behind the base grille. (See instructions for removing grille on page 5.) Turn to the right to raise the corner, to the left to lower it. Height of refrigerator-freezer from floor will adjust from 0 inch to _ inch. If the ice maker is installed, adjust rollers so that aft four corners are level with each other. If the ice maker is not installed, you may adjust rollers in either of two ways: • If you want the door to fresh food compartment to close when not held open, adjust rollers so that front of refrigerator-freezer is raised slightly. However, front corners must be level with each other; and rear corners with each other. Make sure all packing material is removed, including the tape on the drain pan behind the base grille. If the shipping tape has left a residue on the doors, touch the residue lightly with the adhesive side of tape or with isopropy! alcohol (most rubbing alcohol is this type). Do not use a solvent, such as lighter or cleaning fluid, nor an abrasive cleaner. Clean refrigerator-freezer and parts to remove dust from shipping and packing. (See How to clean your new refrigerator-freezer on page 6.) How to start ¥our new refrigerator-freezer, and how to adjust it to qour requirement The cold controls are located inside the fresh food compartment at the top. They control the temperature of the fresh food and freezer compartments. To set controls: Set Refrigerator Control at #5. A convenient dial underneath the Refrigerator Control (see arrow) makes it easy to set this control. Also, set Freezer Control at #5 setting. You may hear a slight chattering sound when you first start the refrigeratorfreezer. This sound will disappear as the appliance cools down. To change temperatures: Good indications of proper settings are the coldness of milk which has remained in the fresh food compartment overnight and the firmness of ice cream in the freezer compartment. Many factors influence the internal temperature of the fresh food and freezer compartments: • The temperature and humidity of the home. • The frequency of door openings and the amount of warm food placed in the refrigerator-freezer. • The combination of foods and containers •stored in refrigerator-freezer. For these reasons, you may want to adjust either or both controls to suit the season and your needs. When adjusting the temperature: • Turn control to a higher number for colder temperatures. • Turn control to a lower number for warmer temperatures. • Allow approximately 12 hours or overnight for temperatures to stabilize. Then check to see if further adjustments are necessary. Note: Changing either control will have some effect on the temperature of the other compartment. To turn off refrigerator-freezer: Turn Refrigerator Control to OFF and disconnect electrical cord. Remove ice trays and food. Leave doors ajar for air circulation. How much food can be loaded at once? Your" new Frigidaire RefrigeratorFreezer needs time to cool down after you first start it; but you may immediately load it with foods that are already refrigerated or frozen. After storage temperatures have stabilized, limit the amount of warm foods you load at any one time. Warm foods placed in the fresh food compartment and unfrozen foods placed in the freezer compartment affect the storage temperatures; it takes time for these temperatures to stabilize again. Too large a load can keep temperatures warm enough, long enough for foods to spoil. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 Flex-Quik ice trays Ice tray shelves Ice server Removable freezer shelf Juice-can holder Refrigerator Control Interior light Freezer Control Meat Tender compartment Fully adjustable shelves Vegetable Hydrator cover shelf 12 13 14 15 Vegetable Hydrators Serial and Model Plate Removable egg servers Cheese 16 Spreads (butter and margarine) 17 Condiment shelf 18 Door shelves 19 Smooth-glide rollers (adjustable at front corners) 20 Base grille 21 Drain pan and drain trap (behind base grille) 22 Reversa-doors When you discard a refrigerator Completely remove the doors to prevent child entrapment. In many municipalities, this is the law. At any rate, it takes only a moment with a screwdriver or wrench. De this as soon as possible. Also as soon as you can, have the old unit carted away and destroyed before it attracts a child's curiosity and endangers his life. Facts about its operation Frost-Proof, Your refrigerator-freezer is completely Frost-Proof. You never have to defrost either compartment. Occasionally you may see or hear the defrost system at work. A red glow below the freezer compartment or slight hissing sounds of frost melting are normal indications that you will never have to defrost your refrigerator-freezer. When the defrost system is operating (less than half an hour), the compressor does not run. At all other times, the compressor cycles on and off as needed to satisfy the setting Control, of the Refrigerator Flowing Cold. Frigidaire Flowing Cold circulation gently blows cold air through the food compartments; provides lower, more uniform temperatures; provides faster return of proper temperatures after door openings. You may hear your new refrigeratorfreezer run more often than your old one did. The new one probably is larger and colder and has more special features than your old one. Cabinet exterior. You probably have noticed beads of moisture on a glass of iced tea on a hot summer day. This is the natural condensation of moisture on a cold surface. A special system has been designed to minimize this condensation on your Frigidaire Refrigerator-Freezer. As a result, it is normal for some parts of the cabinet to feel warm to the touch. Getting to know your new refrigerator-freezer Here are some of the features of your Frigidaire Refrigerator-Freezer. Take a moment to know how each can give you all the convenience it is designed to provide. Numbers match those in the illustration on page 3. For helpful information, read the Foodkeeping.Tips booklet that is inside this refrigeratorfreezer. store top quality, freshly cut meats for up to seven days; specialty meats, ground meats, and poultry up to three to five days. A surface freeze of ice crystals may appear on the meat. This is normal because of cold temperatures. See Foodkeeping Tips for helpful information. Do not store fruits and vegetables in Meat Tender. Flex-Quik To receive special cooling, the Meat Tender must be placed toward the right, and top shelf must be in the top position. For more flexible use of the top shelf, you can move the position of the Meat Tender cover shelf. ice trays O and ice server O Fill trays 3/4 full to allow for expansion of water during freezing.

Such coldness makes it possible to Be sure rear edge of server fits under ledge on door and is securely held. Store eggs large end up. Moisture collected during automatic defrosting evaporates from a drain pan located behind the base grille on left side. Finding moisture in the pan is normal, especially on humid days.

Leafy vegetables contain a high percentage of water and require highhumidity storage to retain their fresh, Located above the drain pan and under the left Hydrator, the white drain trap permits defrost water and spillovers to drain into the pan below it. Clean it occasionally, and always after spillovers. Condenser The condenser, an important part of the sealed refrigeration system, is located beneath the fresh food compartment at the rear of the product. Clean it periodically. (See How to clean your new refrigerator-freezer on page 6.) Energq-wise tips Try not to place your refrigeratorfreezer near a range or hot air register. Transfer warm foods to a cool container before placing them in the refrigerator-freezer. Return fresh and frozen foods to the refrigerator-freezer as soon as possible. Measure and remove the quantity needed for cooking or for the table, and refrigerate the remainder at once. Use cold controls efficiently by selecting the settings that provide about 36°F in the fresh food compartment and 0°F in the freezer. Fill the refrigerator-freezer with food, but be careful not to overfill. Make sure that food packages do not block air vents in the freezer or fresh food compartment. Open the doors only when necessary, and only for as long as necessary. Before you go on an extended vacation, turn off the refrigerator-freezer as directed on page 7. Clean the condenser surfaces of the refrigerator-freezer; dirt restricts air flow and acts to insulate the condenser, forcing the refrigerator-freezer to work harder and longer to maintain proper temperatures.

Reversa-doors: How to change hinging Refrigerator-freezer doors that open out and block your path are a big inconvenience. If your new kitchen poses this problem, move the hinges and handles to opposite side of the doors so the doors open in the more convenient direction. You can do it yourself (since the doors are heavy, two people can move the doors more easily) or call your Frigidaire Authorized Service Agency (at extra charge). Tools needed: One _;_-inch open-end or box-end wrench. One No. 2 size Phillips screwdriver. Reversa-door steps: The diagram on this page shows the positions of hinges, handles, and other hardware as it is to be reinstalled when door is hinged on the left-hand side. Holes for relocating hinges are covered by eight decorator screws. Before starting, empty freezer and fresh food compartment door shelves. Wrap frozen foods in several folds of newspaper and store in cool place. Be careful not to lose any of the parts removed. They wil/ all be needed during reassembly. 1. Open the door to fresh food compartment and remove base grille (see instructions on page 5). 2. Remove the eight decorator screws (A) from side opposite hinges to expose new hinge mounting holes. 3.
