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

midsetting make the temperature less cold. Settings to the

right of the midsetting 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.
