REFRIGERATOR & FREEZER CONTROLS NOTE: When first setting the controls or when changing a setting, wait 24 hours for the temperature to stabilize before making additional changes. TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT • After 24 hours, adjust the controls as needed.
Looking Inside To avoid personal injury or property damage, handle tempered glass shelves carefully. Shelves may break suddenly if nicked, scratched, or exposed to sudden temperature change. SHELF ADJUSTMENT Refrigerator shelves are easily adjusted to suit individual needs. Before adjusting the shelves, remove all food. To adjust sliding shelves: 1 Remove shelf by pulling forward to stop position. 2 Lift front edge up and pull out. Replace the shelf on any pair of rails by reversing this procedure.
Looking Inside (continued) DOOR STORAGE TALL BOTTLE RETAINER (SOME MODELS) Door bins, shelves, and racks are provided for convenient storage of jars, bottles, and cans. Frequently used items can be quickly selected. The Tall Bottle Retainer keeps tall containers in the bin from falling forward when opening or closing the refrigerator door.

Looking Inside - (continued) CRISPERS (SOME MODELS) MEAT PAN (SOME MODELS) The crispers, located under the bottom refrigerator shelf, are designed for storing fruits, vegetables, and other fresh produce. Wash items in clear water and remove excess water before placing them in the crispers. Items with strong odors or high moisture content should be wrapped before storing. Some models are equipped with a Meat Pan that can be positioned below any refrigerator shelf.
Ice Service If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker, it will provide a sufficient supply of ice for normal use. During the initial startup of your refrigerator, however, no ice will be produced during the first 24 hours of operation. Automatic ice makers are also optional accessories that may be installed in most models at any time. Call your local dealer for information. TURNING YOUR ICE MAKER ON After the plumbing connections have been completed, the water supply valve must be opened.
Food Storage & Energy Saving Ideas FOOD STORAGE IDEAS Fresh Food Storage • • The fresh food compartment should be kept between 34° F and 40° F with an optimum temperature of 37° F. Avoid overcrowding the refrigerator shelves. This reduces the circulation of air around the food and results in uneven cooling. Fruits and Vegetables • Storage in the crisper drawers traps moisture to help preserve the fruit and vegetable quality for longer time periods.
Normal Operating Sounds & Sights A. Evaporator The flow of refrigerant through the evaporator may create a boiling or gurgling sound. B. Evaporator Fan You may hear air being forced through the refrigerator by the evaporator fan. C. Defrost Heater During defrost cycles, water dripping onto the defrost heater may cause a hissing or sizzling sound. After defrosting, a popping sound may occur.
Care & Cleaning Keep your refrigerator and freezer clean to prevent odor build-up. Wipe up any spills immediately and clean both sections at least twice a year. Never use metallic scouring pads, brushes, abrasive cleaners or strong alkaline solutions on any surface. Do not wash any removable parts in a dishwasher. Always unplug the electrical power cord from the wall outlet before cleaning. CAUTION: • • • When moving the refrigerator, pull straight out.
