Proper Disposal (of old refrigerator) IMPORTANT: Now that you have a new refrigerator, it is extremely important that you dispose of your old appliance in a way that minimizes the possibility that children will find it. There have been many cases in years past of children crawling inside junked and abandoned refrigerators and becoming trapped or suffocated. Contact your municipal waste disposal authority to find out the best and safest way to dispose of your old refrigerator.

Settings and Functions In order for your new refrigerator to work properly, it is important that you understand its various features, controls, and how to use them. Power On/Off Switch (Power Interruption Switch) The power on/off switch is located behind your refrigerator’s top grille. It is used to turn the power off when cleaning the refrigerator. Your refrigerator arrives from the factory with the power interruption switch on. To turn power off, remove the center grille blade.
Settings and Functions Max Refrigerator Mode Max refrigerator mode adjusts the refrigerator temperature to the coldest setting for four hours, at the end of which the refrigerator’s temperature automatically returns to its previous setting. To activate the max refrigerator mode, simply press the ”ACTIVATE CONTROLS” pad, followed by the “MAX REF” pad. The “MAX REF” light will glow to let you know you’ve turned on the max refrigerator mode.
Refrigerator Spillproof Plus Shelves with Nano Technology These spillproof shelves contain liquids with no raised edges in order to provide extra shelf capacity. Standard Spillproof Shelves Standard spillproof shelves are constructed of polypropylene molded around the glass and metal rail. This design means that the shelves are completely enclosed and liquids can’t seep under the glass. This localizes spills and makes clean-up easier.
Refrigerator Deli Drawers To remove drawer, roll the drawer out to the stop. Then, on each side of the drawer, locate the black lever on the glides and lift up until the drawer disengages from the glides. Pull the drawer out the rest of the way. To replace the drawer, extend the glides out to the stop. Next, place the drawer onto the glides and push it back until the drawer engages the hook.
Freezer Wire Shelf Adjustment You can easily adjust your freezer’s shelves. To remove a shelf, simply tilt it up at the front, releasing the hooks from the shelf support. Then, pull the shelf straight out. To replace, guide the rear hooks of the shelf into the slots in the shelf supports. Then, tilt the shelf up at the front until the hooks drop into the slots. Next, lower the front of the shelf to a level position.
Food Storage Guide Storing Fresh Food Wrap or store food in the refrigerator in airtight and moisture-proof material. This prevents food odor and taste transfer. For dated products, check use-by date to ensure freshness. To store leafy vegetables, remove store wrapping. Then tear off bruised and discolored areas. Wash the vegetables in cold water and drain, and then place them in a plastic bag or plastic container and store in your produce drawer.
Cleaning & Maintenance CAUTION To avoid personal injury or property damage, read and follow all cleaning product manufacturer’s directions. WARNING To avoid electrical shock which can cause severe personal injury or death, turn power disconnect switch to OFF before cleaning. After cleaning, return power disconnect switch to ON position. Your refrigerator is built to give you many years of dependable service. However, there are a few things you can do to help extend its life.
Cleaning & Maintenance Glass Shelves To clean your refrigerator’s glass shelves, lift the shelf out by lifting the front and releasing the hooks from the metal track. Then pull the shelf out. Be sure to allow the glass shelves to adjust to room temperature before cleaning. To clean crevices, dilute mild detergent with water. Brush this solution into crevices using a plastic bristle brush. Let set for five minutes. Spray warm water into crevices using faucet spray attachment.
Cleaning & Maintenance Saving Energy You can help your refrigerator use less electricity with these simple tips: • 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 organized so you will not have to search for what you want. Close door as soon as food is removed. • DO NOT overcrowd the unit so air movement is blocked. • DO NOT set the unit to temperature colder than necessary.
Troubleshooting Understanding Sounds You May Hear Your new refrigerator may make different sounds than your old one. Hard surfaces, such as the ceilings, walls, and cabinets around the unit can make these sounds seem louder. However, these sounds are normal and will soon become familiar; they indicate that your refrigerator is working properly.
