NOTES:
This refrigerator is intended for use in a location where the
temperature ranges from a minimum of 55°F (13°C) to a
maximum of 110°F (43°C). The preferred room temperature
range for optimum performance, which reduces electricity
usage and provides superior cooling, is between 60°F (15°C)
and 90°F (32°C). It is recommended that you do not install
the refrigerator near a heat source, such as an oven or
radiator.
Normal minimum cabinet cut-out width required for product
installation is 36" (91.44 cm). However, if the product is
placed against an extended wall and the ability to remove
the crisper pans is desired, an additional 18" (45.72 cm) of
cabinet width is required, so a total cabinet opening width
of 54" (137.16 cm) is recommended.
Electrical Requirements
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-amp fused, grounded
electrical supply is required. It is recommended that a separate
circuit serving only your refrigerator be provided. Use an outlet
that cannot be turned off by a switch. Do not use an
extension cord.
NOTE: Before performing any type of installation or cleaning, or
removing a light bulb, turn cooling off or turn the control
(Thermostat, Refrigerator 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 turn cooling on or reset
the control (Thermostat, Refrigerator or Freezer Control
depending on the model) to the desired setting. See “Using the
Controls” in the User Instructions, User Guide, or Use & Care
Guide.
REFRIGERATOR USE
Ensuring Proper Air Circulation
In order to ensure proper temperatures, you need to permit air
to flow between the two sections. Cold air enters the bottom of
the freezer section and moves up. It then enters the refrigerator
section through the top vent. Air then returns to the freezer as
shown.
Do not block any airflow vents. If the vents are blocked, airflow
will be obstructed 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 avoid odor
transfer and drying out of food, wrap or cover foods tightly.
Using the Controls
For your convenience, your refrigerator controls are preset at
the factory. When you first install your refrigerator, make sure
that the controls are still preset. The Refrigerator Control and the
Freezer Control should both be set to the “mid-settings.”
IMPORTANT:
Your product will not cool when the REFRIGERATOR Control
is set to OFF.
The Refrigerator Control adjusts the refrigerator
compartment temperature. The Freezer Control adjusts the
freezer compartment temperature. Settings to the left of the
midsetting make the temperature less cold. Settings to the
right of the midsetting make the temperature colder.
Wait 24 hours before you put food into the refrigerator. If
you add food before the refrigerator has cooled completely,
your food may spoil.
NOTE: Adjusting the Refrigerator and Freezer Controls to a
higher (colder) than recommended setting will not cool the
compartments any faster.
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.
