Be

careful

closing

doors

when

?

Unplug

NOTE:

We

strongly

recommend

bulb,

unplug

the

refrigerator

or

turn

off

power

at

the

circuit

breaker

or

fuse

box

in

?

This

refrigerator

must

be

properly

installed

in

accordance

with

the

Attention

Installer

Instructions

that

were

taped

to

the

front

of

the

refrigerator.

?

After

your

refrigerator

is

in

operation,

do

not

touch

the

cold

surfaces

in

the

?

DO

NOT

refreeze

frozen

foods

which

have

thawed

completely.

The

United

States

Department

of

Agriculture

in

Home

and

Garden

Bulletin

No.

69

says:

...You

may

safely

refreeze

frozen

foods

that

have

thawed

if

they

still

contain

ice

crystals

or

if

they

are

still

cold---below

40°F

(4°C).

...Thawed

ground

meats,

poultry

or

fish

that

have

any

off-

odor

or

off-color

should

not

be

refrozen

and

should

not

be

eaten.

Thawed

ice

cream

should

be

discarded.

If

the

odor

or

color

of

any

food

is

poor

or

questionable,

get

rid

of

it.

The

food

may

be

dangerous

to

eat.

Even

partial

thawing

and

refreezing

reduces

the

eating

quality

of

foods,

particularly

fruits,

vegetables

and

prepared

foods.

The

eating

quality

of

red

meats

is

affected

less

than

that

of

many

other

foods.

Use

refrozen

foods

as

soon

as

possible

to

save

as

much

of

their

quality

as

you

can.

?

Do

not

modify

or

extend

the

power

cord

length.

It

will

cause

electric

shock

or

fire.

carefully.

TO

CONNECT

ELECTRICITY

RECOMMENDED

GROUNDING

METHOD

The

refrigerator

should

always

be

plugged

into

its

own

individual

properly

grounded

electrical

outlet

rated

for

115

Volts,

60

Hz,

AC

only,

and

fused

at

15

or

20

amperes.

This

provides

the

best

performance

and

also

prevents

overloading

house

wiring

circuits

which

could

cause

a

fire

hazard

from

overheated

wires.

It

is

recommended

that

a

separate

circuit

serving

only

this

appliance

be

provided.

Use

a

receptacle

which

cannot

be

turned

off

with

a

switch

or

pull

chain.

Do

not

use

an

extension

cord.

Where

a

standard

two-prong

wall

outlet

is

encountered,

it

is

your

personal

responsibility

and

obligation

to

have

it

replaced

with

a

properly

grounded

three-prong

wall

outlet.

Do

not,

under

any

circumstances,

cut

or

remove

the

third

(ground)

prong

from

the

power

cord.

NOTE:

Before

performing

any

type

of

installation,

cleaning,

or

removing

a

light

bulb,

turn

the

control

(Thermostat,

Refrigerator

Control

or

Freezer

Control,

depending

on

the

model)

to

OFF

and

then

disconnect

the

refrigerator

from

the

electrical

source.

When

you

are

finished,

reconnect

the

refrigerator

to

the

electrical

source

and

reset

the

control

(Thermostat,

Refrigerator

Control

or

Freezer

Control,

depending

on

the

model)

to

the

desired

setting.

USE

OF

EXTENSION

CORDS

Because

of

potential

safety

hazards

under

certain

conditions,

we

strongly

recommend

against

the

use

of

an

extension

cord.

However,

if

you

still

elect

to

use

an

extension

cord,

it

is

absolutely

necessary

that

it

be

a

UL-listed

(USA),

3-wire

grounding

type

appliance

extension

cord

having

a

grounding

type

plug

and

outlet,

and

that

the

electrical

rating

of

the

cord

be

15

amperes

(minimum)

and

120

volts.

Use

of

an

extension

cord

will

increase

the

clearance

needed

for

the

back

of

the

refrigerator.

WARNING

Electrical

Shock

Hazard

FOR

PERSONAL

SAFETY,

this

appliance

must

be

properly

grounded.

Have

the

wall

outlet

and

the

circuit

checked

by

a

qualified

electrician

to

make

sure

the

outlet

is

properly

grounded.

Ensure

proper

ground

exists

before

use.

If

you

are

throwing

away

your

old

refrigerator,

make

sure

the

CFC

refrigerant

is

removed

for

proper

servicer.

If

you

intentionally

release

this

CFC

you

can

be

subject

to

LEVELING

AND

DOOR

ALIGNMENT

Leveling

Your

refrigerator

has

two

front

leveling

legs---one

on

the

right

and

one

on

the

left.

If

your

refrigerator

seems

unsteady

or

you

want

the

doors

to

close

easier,

adjust

the

refrigerator's

tilt

using

the

instructions

below:

1.

Plug

the

refrigerator's

power

cord

into

a

3-prong

grounded

outlet.

Move

the

refrigerator

into

its

final

position.

2.

Turn

the

leveling

leg

clockwise

to

raise

that

side

of

the

refrigerator

or

counterclockwise

to

lower

it.

It

may

take

several

turns

of

the

leveling

leg

to

adjust

the

tilt

of

the

refrigerator.

NOTE:

Having

someone

push

against

the

top

of

the

refrigerator

takes

some

weight

off

the

leveling

legs.

This

makes

it

easier

to

adjust

the

legs.

3.

Open

both

doors

again

and

check

to

make

sure

that

they

close

easily.

If

not,

tilt

the

refrigerator

slightly

more

to

the

rear

by

turning

both

leveling

legs

clockwise.

It

may

take

several

more

turns,

and

you

should

turn

both

leveling

legs

the

same

amount.

4.

Re-adjust

if

necessary.

5.

Replace

the

base

cover.

NOTE:

Your

new

refrigerator

is

uniquely

designed

with

two

fresh

food

doors.

Either

door

can

be

opened

or

closed

independently

of

one

another.

You

may

have

to

exert

slight

pressure

on

doors

to

get

them

to

close

completely.

Door

Alignment

If

the

space

between

your

doors

is

uneven,

follow

the

instructions

below

to

align

the

doors:

1.

With

one

hand,

lift

up

the

door

you

want

to

raise

at

middle

hinge.

2.

With

other

hand,

use

pliers

to

insert

snap

ring

as

shown.

3.

Insert

additional

snap

rings

until

the

doors

are

aligned.

(Three

snap

rings

are

provided

with

unit.)

ENSURING

PROPER

AIR

CIRCULATION

In

order

to

ensure

proper

temperatures,

air

must

flow

between

the

refrigerator

and

freezer

sections.

As

shown

in

the

illustration

below,

air

enters

at

top

of

the

freezer

and

circulates

down.

From

the

bottom

of

the

freezer,

air

is

forced

up

to

the

top

of

the

refrigerator.

Air

enters

refrigerator

through

the

top

vent,

then

circulates

and

exists

at

the

bottom,

where

it

returns

to

the

freezer.

MULTI-FLOW

?

Multi-Flow

means

powerful

and

effective

cooling

operation.

This

is

especially

noticeable

when

new

food

is

placed

in

the

refrigerator

compartment.

?

If

water

or

foreign

substances

enter

the

cool

air

vent

while

cleaning,

efficiency

will

be

lowered.

In

addition,

if

gasket

is

damaged,

efficiency

may

be

lowered

because

of

escaping

cool

air.

Do

not

block

any

of

cool

air

vents

with

food

packages.

If

the

vents

are

blocked,

airflow

will

be

interrupted

and

temperature

and

moisture

problems

may

occur.

IMPORTANT:

Because

air

circulates

between

both

sections,

any

odors

formed

in

one

section

will

transfer

to

the

other.

You

must

thoroughly

clean

both

sections

to

eliminate

odors.

To

prevent

odor

transfer

and

drying

out

of

food,

wrap

or

cover

foods

tightly.

(See

the

Food

Storage

Guide

section

for

details.)

SETTING

THE

CONTROLS

?

Your

refrigerator

has

two

controls

that

let

you

regulate

the

temperature

in

the

freezer

and

refrigerator

compartments.

?

Initially

set

the

REFRIGERATOR

CONTROL

at

37°F

(3°C)

and

the

FREEZER

CONTROL

at

0°F

(--18°C).

Leave

it

at

this

setting

for

24

hours

(one

day)

to

stabilize.

Then

adjust

the

compartment

temperature

as

desired.

?

Refrigerator

control:

33°F

to

46°F

(0°C

to

8°C)

The

lower

the

number

setting,

the colder the

refrigerator

compartment

will

become.

?

Freezer

control:

--6°F

to

8°F

(--21°C

to

--13°C)

When

the

setting

is

at

a

lower

number,

the

freezer

compartment

becomes

colder.

But

the

refrigerator

compartment

becomes

warmer

because

less

cold

air

flows

into

the

refrigerator.

?

ICE

PLUS:

Press

the

ICE

PLUS

key

and

the

LED

will

turn

on.

This

function

will

remain

activated

for

24

hours

and

intensify

the

cooling

speed

of

freezer

and

increase

the

amount

of

ice.

NOTE:

If

you

want

to

change

°F

to

°C,

press

and

hold

COLDER

key

of

freezer

and

COLDER

key

of

refrigerator

over

5

seconds

at

the

same

time.

and

if

you

want

to

change

°C

to

°F,

hold

them

for

5

seconds

again.

USING

YOUR

REFRIGERATOR

ADJUSTING

CONTROL

SETTINGS

Give

the

refrigerator

time

to

cool

down

completely

before

making

final

adjustments.

It

is

best

to

wait

24

hours

before

doing

this.

The

mid-settings

indicated

in

the

previous

section

should

be

correct

for

normal

household

refrigerator

usage.

The

controls

are

set

correctly

when

milk

or

juice

is

as

cold

as

you

like

and

when

ice

times,

check

a

freezer

guide

or

a

reliable

cookbook.

Packaging

Successful

freezing

depends

on

correct

packaging.

When

you

close

and

seal

the

package,

it

must

not

allow

air

or

moisture

in

or

out.

If

it

does,

you

could

have

food

odor

and

taste

transfer

throughout

the

refrigerator

and

also

dry

out

frozen

food.

Packaging

recommendations:

?

Rigid

plastic

containers

with

tight-fitting

lids

?

CAUTION:

Do

not

keep

beverage

cans

or

plastic

food

containers

in

the

freezer

compartment.

They

may

be

break

if it

freezes.

Freezing

Your

freezer

will

not

quick-freeze

any

large

quantity

of

food.

Do

not

put

more

unfrozen

food

into

the

freezer

than

will

freeze

within

24

hours

(no

more

than

2

to

3

lbs

of

food

per

cubic

foot

of

freezer

space).

Leave

enough

space

in

the

freezer

for

air

to

circulate

around

packages.

Be

careful

to

leave

enough

room

at

the

front

so

the

door

can

close

tightly.

Storage

times

will

vary

according

to

the

quality

and

type

of

food,

the

type

of

packaging

or

wrap

used

(airtight

and

moisture-proof)

and

the

storage

temperature.

Ice

crystals

inside

a

sealed

package

are

normal.

This

simply

means

that

moisture

in

the

food

and

air

inside

the

package

have

condensed,

creating

ice

crystals.

NOTE:

Allow

hot

foods

to

cool

at

for

30

minutes,

then

OPERATION

INSTRUCTIONS

A

newly-installed

refrigerator

may

take

12

to

24

hours

to

begin

making

ice.

The

icemaker

will

produce

eight

cubes

per

cycle---

approximately

100--130

cubes

in

a

24-hour

period,

depending

on

freezer

compartment

temperature,

room

temperature,

number

of

door

openings

and

other

operating

conditions.

If

the

refrigerator

is

used

before

the

water

connection

is

made

to

the

If

ice

is

not

used

frequently,

old

ice

cubes

will

become

cloudy,

taste

stale,

and

shrink.

NOTE:

If

the

cube

size
