Installation  
Your new refrigerator was packed carefully for shipment. Remove and discard shelf packing clips (if used) located just above  
each shelf where they hook onto the frame. To remove plastic clips wiggle the clips sideways and pull straight out.  
Location  
• Allow for a free flow of air through the front base  
Leveling  
To enhance appearance and to maintain optimal perfor-  
mance, the refrigerator must be level. Your refrigerator  
has wheels which can be adjusted for leveling:  
grille.  
• Install the refrigerator where the room temperature  
will not go below 55˚ F. With temperatures below 55˚,  
the refrigerator will not run frequently enough to  
maintain proper temperature in the freezer.  
• Remove the lower hinge covers (see fig. 1). To do this,  
grasp each cover near the hinge and apply pressure.  
The attachment tabs will snap out, allowing removal  
of the covers.  
• Allow a minimum 1/2” clearance on the sides, top  
and back for ease of installation. If refrigerator is  
placed with either door hinge side against a wall,  
you may want to allow additional space so the door  
can be opened wider.  
• Adjust the wheels with a screwdriver (see fig. 2).  
To lock the cabinet in place, turn down both level-  
ing/lock feet, located near the front wheels (see fig.  
3). Rear leveling/lock feet are not required.  
• Use caution when installing the unit on vinyl or  
hardwood floors so as not to mark or otherwise  
damage the flooring. A piece of plywood, a rug or  
other material should be used to protect the floor  
while positioning the unit.  
• Replace the hinge covers.  
• If the floor is not level and it is necessary to raise the  
rear of the cabinet, we suggest rolling the rear wheels  
onto a piece of plywood or other shim material.

Settings  
Adjusting the Temperature  
Controls  
• 24 hours after adding food, you may decide that one  
or both compartments should be colder or warmer. If  
so, adjust the control(s) as indicated in the table  
below.  
• The fresh food control has settings from 1 (warmest)  
to 9 (coldest). Initially set this control on 5.  
• The freezer control has settings from 1 (warmest) to  
9 (coldest). Initially set this control on 5.  
• Except when starting the refrigerator, do not change  
either control more than one number at a time.  
• It is recommended that the coldest freezer setting (9)  
be used for short periods only.  
• Allow 24 hours for temperatures to stabilize before  
resetting.  
• Let the refrigerator run at least 8-12 hours before  
adding food.  
• Changing either control will have some effect on the  
temperature of the other compartment.  
Your refrigerator will run continuously for several  
hours when you first start it. This is normal

NOTE: Turning the fresh food control to 0 stops cooling in BOTH compartments. It does not shut off power to  
the refrigerator.  
No Defrosting  
Warm Cabinet Surfaces  
At times, the front of the refrigerator cabinet may be  
warm to the touch. This is a normal occurrence that  
helps prevent moisture from condensing on the cabi-  
net. The condition will be more noticeable when you  
first start the refrigerator, during hot weather and after  
excessive or lengthy door openings.  
Your refrigerator is designed to defrost automatically.  
NOTE: During the automatic defrost cycle, you may  
notice a red glow/reflection in the vents on the back  
wall of the freezer compartment and you may hear the  
sound of water droplets coming into contact with the  
defrost heater. This is normal during the defrost cycle.

WARNING — Never attempt to adjust a shelf that is loaded with food.  
The freezer basket or drawer (style will vary by model)  
The Freezer Shelves rest on support rails molded into  
the wall of the freezer. Select models offer freezer  
shelves that slide forward for easier access to items at  
the rear of the shelf.  
slides out for more convenient access to the frozen  
foods. The basket or drawer rests and slides on support  
rails molded into the wall of the freezer.  
To remove a freezer basket:  
To remove the shelf:

sliding forward until out. To replace, line the basket or  
drawer up with the support rails, lift the front edge  
slightly, and slide it into place.  
Completely unload the shelf and lift straight up. Tilt  
the shelf sideways and pull it straight out. To replace,  
reverse the above procedure.  
Storage Drawers  
The Crisper provides ideal storage for fruit and veg-  
etables. There is a humidity control located on the  
crisper shelf above the crisper drawer.  
To remove the crisper drawer for cleaning:  
• pull out the crisper until it stops  
• tilt the drawer front up and pull it out  
When storing fruit, slide the crisper control to the left  
(LOW) to provide lower humidity conditions in the  
drawer.  
To replace the crisper drawer:  
• align the drawer in the tracks  
• lift the drawer front and slide in  
When storing vegetables, slide the crisper control to  
the right (HIGH) to provide higher humidity condi-  
tions in the drawer.  
For best results, keep the crisper tightly  
closed.

Looking Inside  
The VariTemp Drawer (select models) is designed to  
provide a short term storage area for fresh meats,  
cheeses and luncheon meats.  
The Removable Door Bins, (select models) are  
designed to accommodate gallon-plus sized contain-  
ers. They are adjustable and easily removed.  
To remove: Lift the bin up until it clears the retainers  
on the door liner, then pull the bin straight out. Reverse  
the above procedure to replace the bin.  
The temperature control for this drawer is located on  
the left side wall of the refrigerator, near the front of the  
drawer. The “cool” setting maintains a temperature  
within the drawer consistent with the surrounding  
fresh food compartment. To achieve a lower tempera-  
ture within the drawer, slide the control towards the  
“cold” setting. A lower temperature within the drawer  
is recommended when storing fresh meat, poultry or  
fish.  
Package Dividers, (select models) fit in refrigerator  
and freezer door shelves to secure bottles and other  
containers in place when the door is opened or closed.  
Package Dividers are adjusted by sliding side to side.  
Cold  
Cool  
The Dairy Compartment (select models), located in the  
refrigerator door, features extra deep storage for butter  
and cheeses. Some models are equipped with a butter  
dish, which is found in this compartment.  
The Egg Tray (style may vary) holds a “dozen-plus”  
eggs. It can be removed to be washed or carried to a  
work area.  
Energy Saving Tips  
• Locate the refrigerator away from heat producing  
appliances such as the range or dishwasher, heat  
vents and direct sunlight.  
• Keep the freezer full to near capacity so less cold air  
will escape during door openings. When the freezer  
is less than two-thirds full, place milk cartons half  
full of water in the freezer.  
• Level the refrigerator and do not block ventilation  
around the front grille.  
• Wipe moisture from the outside of containers before  
placing them into the refrigerator.  
• Let hot dishes cool slightly before putting into the  
refrigerator or freezer.  
Avoid opening the doors too often.  
• Cover liquids.

Ice Service  
Automatic Ice Maker  
The water inlet tubing assembly required to complete the  
water connection to the water valve is located in a bag  
inside the refrigerator. Connect the ice maker to the  
water supply as instructed in the separate instructions  
furnished with the refrigerator.  
To remove the ice bin:  
• Pull down on lower back edge of the Automatic  
Dispenser bin front and pull it straight out. To  
replace the bin, align its bottom rails to the corre-  
sponding shelf grooves and push it straight back  
until it stops and latches. Make sure the tabs, at the  
back of the bin, that turn the spiral auger are posi-  
tioned between the prongs from the auger motor. To  
avoid the ice maker dumping ice while the bin is  
removed, turn the ice maker off by lifting the wire  
lever.  
Turn the ice maker on by lowering the wire lever arm.  
• Beverages and foods should not be placed in the ice  
storage bin for quick chilling. These items can block the  
wire lever arm, causing the ice maker to malfunction.  
Turn off (arm up) the ice maker when the water  
supply is to be shut off for several hours.  
For Your Safety  
Do not place fingers or hands on the automatic ice  
making mechanism while the refrigerator is plugged  
in. This will help protect you from possible injury. It  
will also prevent interference with moving parts of the  
ejector mechanism and the heating element that  
releases the cubes.  
• After your refrigerator has been hooked up to the  
water supply, move the wire lever arm into the down  
position. This will start its operation. The ice maker  
will fill with water when the freezer reaches the  
proper temperature.  
• It may be 8 to 12 hours before the ice maker furnishes  
any usable ice cubes. The first one or two batches will  
probably contain undersized and irregular cubes  
because of air in the supply line.  
Under certain rare circumstances, ice cubes may be dis-  
colored, usually appearing with a green-bluish hue.  
The cause of this unusual discoloration can be a com-  
bination of factors such as certain characteristics of  
local waters, household plumbing and the accumula-  
tion of copper salts in an inactive water supply line  
which feeds the ice maker.  
• The initial batch may also contain impurities from the  
new water supply piping. Therefore, all cubes from  
the first two or three batches should be discarded.  
Continued consumption of such discolored ice cubes  
may be injurious to health. If such discoloration is  
observed, discard the ice cubes and contact your dealer  
to purchase and install a water line filter.  
• When the ice cubes are ejected it is normal for several  
cubes to be joined together at the ends. They can  
easily be broken apart. The ice maker will continue to  
make ice until the supply of ice cubes raises the wire  
lever arm, shutting the ice maker off.  
• Certain sounds may accompany the various cycles of  
the ice maker. The motor may have a slight hum, the  
cubes will rattle as they fall into an empty storage pan  
and the water valve may click or “buzz” occasionally.  
• If the ice is not used frequently, the ice cubes will become  
cloudy, shrink, stick together and taste stale. Empty the  
ice storage bin periodically and wash it in lukewarm  
water. Be sure to dry the bin before replacing it.

SPILL  
TRAY  
Spill Tray  
Do not pour water into the Spill Tray grille at the  
bottom of the dispenser area. This is a spill area, NOT a  
drain. Normal, small spills will evaporate. Larger spills  
should be wiped up with a soft cloth or sponge. The  
grille slides out for clean up. Replace the grille by slid-  
ing it into the track and pressing on the locking tabs. It  
is recommended to clean the spill area occasionally to  
prevent mineral deposits.  
Dispensing Water and Ice  
To dispense ice or water, position a glass against the top  
portion of the actuator pad and press. Hold the glass  
high in the dispenser opening to avoid spills.  
To stop dispensing, release the pressure on the actuator  
pad and hold the container in position momentarily to  
catch the last pieces of ice or the last drops of water. The  
ice delivery door will remain open for a short time.  
When it closes, a closing sound can be heard.  
Ice Dispensing Tips  
• Some crushed ice may be dispensed even though  
cubed ice was selected. This happens occasionally  
when a few cubes are accidentally channeled into the  
crusher.  
To select ice cubes, crushed ice or chilled water, slide  
the control to the appropriate setting.  
• Likewise, when changing from crushed ice to cubes,  
some crushed ice may be dispensed. This may also  
happen if irregular sized cubes or ice chips are in the  
storage bin.  
• If the ice dispenser is not used frequently, ice cubes  
may clump together and may need to be broken  
apart or discarded.  
CUBE CRUSH WATER  
• A slight pause may be noticed when dispensing  
crushed ice. This is normal because the ice is being  
channeled to the crusher. Crushed ice pieces will  
vary in size and shape.  
Water from the dispenser is not as cold as ice water. For  
colder water, simply add ice before dispensing the  
water. The first glass or two of water dispensed each  
time may be warmer than subsequent glasses. A full  
glass of water will be cooler than a partial glass. To pre-  
vent splashing, fill the glass with ice before adding  
water.  
• Do not add ice to the storage bin which was not pro-  
duced by your ice maker, it may not crush and/or  
dispense properly.  
Avoid operating the ice dispenser continuously for  
more than five minutes. Remove large quantities  
from the bin by hand.  
NOTE: When using the ice dispenser for the first time,  
discard the first two or three dozen cubes. When using  
the water dispenser for the first time, press the actuator  
pad for one to two minutes to bleed the air from the  
water line. Discard the first five to six glasses of water  
dispensed. This will insure pure and fresh water for  
drinking.  
Avoid dispensing ice directly into fine china or deli-  
cate crystal. The pressure of pressing against the  
actuator pad and the ice dropping into the container  
can cause cracking or chipping of delicate items.

Food Storage Tips  
Fresh Food Storage  
Frozen Food Storage  
• The fresh food compartment of a refrigerator should  
be kept between 34°F and 40°F with an optimum  
temperature of 37°F. To check the temperature, place  
an appliance thermometer in a glass of water and  
place in the center of the refrigerator. Check after 24  
hours. If the temperature is above 40°F adjust the  
controls as explained on page 3.  
• The freezer compartment of a refrigerator should be  
kept at 0°F or lower. To check the temperature, place  
an appliance thermometer between the frozen pack-  
ages and check after 24 hours. If the temperature is  
above 0˚F, adjust the control as described on page 3.  
• A freezer operates more efficiently when it is at least  
two-thirds full.  
Avoid overcrowding the refrigerator shelves. This  
reduces the circulation of air around the food and  
results in uneven cooling.  
Packaging Foods for Freezing  
To minimize dehydration and quality deterioration  
use aluminum foil, freezer wrap, freezer bags or air-  
tight containers. Force as much air out of the pack-  
ages as possible and be sure they are tightly sealed.  
Trapped air can cause the food to dry out, change  
color and develop an off-flavor (freezer burn).  
Fruits and Vegetables  
• Storage in the crisper drawer traps moisture to help  
preserve the fruit and vegetable quality for longer  
time periods. (Refer to page 4).  
• Sort fruits and vegetables before storage and use  
bruised or soft items first. Discard those showing  
signs of decay.  
• Overwrap fresh meats and poultry with suitable  
freezer wrap prior to freezing.  
Do not refreeze meat that has completely thawed.  
• Always wrap odorous foods such as onions and cab-  
bage so the odor does not transfer to other foods.  
Loading the Freezer  
Avoid adding too much warm food to the freezer at  
one time. This overloads the freezer, slows the rate of  
freezing and can raise the temperature of frozen  
foods.  
• While vegetables need a certain amount of moisture  
to remain fresh, too much moisture can shorten stor-  
age times (especially lettuce). Drain vegetables well  
before storing.  
• Leave a space between the packages so cold air can  
circulate freely, allowing food to freeze as quickly as  
possible.  
Meat and Cheese  
• Raw meat and poultry should be wrapped securely  
so leakage and contamination of other foods or sur-  
faces does not occur.  
Avoid storing hard-to-freeze foods such as ice cream  
and orange juice on the freezer door shelves. These  
foods are best stored in the freezer interior where the  
temperature varies less with door openings.  
• Occasionally mold will develop on the surface of  
hard cheeses (Swiss, Cheddar, Parmesan). Cut off at  
least an inch around and below the moldy area. Keep  
your knife or instrument out of the mold itself. The  
remaining cheese will be safe and flavorful to eat. Do  
NOT try to save individual cheese slices, soft cheese,  
cottage cheese, cream, sour cream or yogurt when  
mold appears.  
Dairy Food  
• Most dairy foods such as milk, yogurt, sour cream  
and cottage cheese have freshness dates on their car-  
tons for appropriate length of storage. Store these  
foods in the original carton and refrigerate immedi-  
ately after purchasing and after each use.

Storing the Refrigerator  
d) clean and dry the refrigerator thoroughly,  
Vacations  
If you will be gone for a month or less, leave the con-  
trols at the usual settings.  
e) leave the doors open to prevent odors.  
During longer absences:  
a) remove all food,  
Moving  
When moving, follow steps a–d under Vacations. In  
addition, remove and carefully pack any items that are  
easily removable. Ship the refrigerator in an upright  
position with the doors taped shut.  
b) shut off the ice maker (if installed) and the valve  
where you tapped into the water line to supply the  
refrigerator,  
c) disconnect the refrigerator from the electrical  
outlet,  
Care and Cleaning  
Refer to the chart on the following page for specific  
refrigerator cleaning guidelines.  
No Clean Commercial-duty  
Condenser  
Disconnect the power cord before cleaning.  
A clean condenser means more efficient refrigerator  
operation. Thanks to the unique design of the No  
Clean condenser, there is no longer a need for routine  
condenser cleaning in normal home usage surround-  
ings.  
Cleaning Under the Refrigerator  
Your refrigerator can be rolled out for cleaning the floor  
underneath. Raise the locking feet if engaged (see page  
2). Pull the refrigerator straight out from the wall.  
Some operating environments may be particularly  
dusty or greasy. In these situations, the condenser can  
be periodically cleaned to insure maximum efficiency.  
Replacing a Light Bulb  
CAUTION: Disconnect the power cord before replacing light bulb(s). Wear gloves as protection  
against possible broken glass.  
Always use a standard 40 or 60 watt appliance bulb.  
Refrigerator  
Freezer (Select Models)  
To replace a light bulb at the upper rear, unscrew the  
bulb located in the center opening on the bottom of the  
control cover. The replacement bulb can then be  
screwed in. If more access is required for bulb replace-  
ment, grasp the control cover in the two lower rear  
“finger tabs”, pull down slightly to clear retainer tabs  
and slide the cover forward until it is free. After replac-  
ing the bulb, align the control cover on to the ribs and  
slide it straight back until it snaps onto the retainer  
tabs.  
(1) unhook the tabs on the top of the light shield by  
pressing in with the thumb on the center top of the  
light shield; (2) pivot the shield down; (3) unscrew the  
bulb when cool and replace with a standard 40 watt  
appliance bulb; (4) pivot the shield up into place, snap-  
ping the tabs into the slots.  
Dispenser Light (Dispenser Models Only)  
For replacement, use a 120V, 7 watt bulb. Disconnect  
the power cord before replacing the light bulb.
