REFRIGERATOR SAFETY Your safety and the safety of others are very important. We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages. This is the safety alert symbol. This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others. All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word “DANGER” or “WARNING.
Cleaning before use INSTALLING YOUR REFRIGERATOR After you remove all of the package materials, clean the inside of your refrigerator before using it. See the cleaning instructions in the “Caring for your Refrigerator” section. Important information to know about glass shelves and covers: Do not clean glass shelves or covers with warm water when they are cold. Shelves and covers may break if exposed to sudden temperature changes or impact, such as bumping.
Electrical Requirements WARNING Electrical Shock Hazard Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet. Do not remove ground prong. Do not use an adapter. Do not use an extension cord. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock. Before you move your refrigerator into its final location, it is important to make sure you have the proper electrical connection: Recommended grounding method A 115 Volt, 60 Hz., AC only 15 or 20 ampere fused, grounded electrical supply is required.
. Fasten shut-off valve to cold water pipe with pipe clamp. Be sure outlet end is solidly in the ¹⁄₄ in. drilled hole in the water pipe and that washer is under the pipe clamp. Tighten packing nut. Tighten the pipe clamp screws carefully and evenly so washer makes a watertight seal. Do not overtighten or you may crush the copper tubing, especially if soft (coiled) copper tubing is used. Now you are ready to connect the copper tubing. 7. Slip compression sleeve and compression nut on copper tubing as shown.

4. Use a screwdriver to adjust the leveling screws. Turn the leveling screw to the right to raise that side of the refrigerator or turn the leveling screw to the left to lower that side. It may take several turns of the leveling screws to adjust the tilt of the refrigerator. NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the refrigerator takes some weight off the leveling screws and rollers. This makes it easier to adjust the screws. 5.
Setting the Control(s) Adjusting Control Settings For your convenience, the refrigerator controls are preset at the factory. Controls for the refrigerator and freezer are located in the top of the refrigerator section. When you first install your refrigerator, make sure that the control(s) are still preset. The control(s) should be at the “mid-settings” as shown for each style of control. Mid-setting “3” Give the refrigerator time to cool down completely before adding food.

Flip-up Door Shelf (on some models) The shelf bottom flips up so you can store taller items in the door shelf below. When in the down position, the shelf is strong enough to hold up to 10 pounds (4.5 kg). ■ Do not use paper towels, scouring pads, or other harsh cleaning tools. These can scratch or damage materials.
Power Interruptions If the electricity in your house goes off, call the power company and ask how long it will be off. 1. If the power will be out for 24 hours or less, keep both refrigerator doors closed to help food stay cold and frozen. 2. If the power will be out for more than 24 hours: a) Remove all frozen food and store it in a frozen food locker. OR b) Place 2 lbs. (907 g) of dry ice in the freezer for every cubic foot (28 L) of freezer space. This will keep the food frozen for two to four days.
The motor seems to run too much ■ Is the room temperature hotter than normal? Expect the motor to run longer under warm conditions. At normal room temperatures, expect your motor to run about 40% to 80% of the time. Under warmer conditions, expect it to run even more of the time. ■ Has a large amount of food just been added to the refrigerator? Adding a large amount of food warms the refrigerator. It is normal for the motor to run longer in order to cool the refrigerator back down.
There is interior moisture build-up ■ ■ Are the air vents blocked in the refrigerator? Remove any objects from in front of the air vents. Refer to “Ensuring Proper Air Circulation” for the location of air vents. Is the door opened often? To avoid humidity build-up, try to get everything you need out of the refrigerator at once, keep food organized so it is easy to find, and close the door as soon as the food is removed. (When the door is opened, humidity from the room air enters the refrigerator.
