ATTENTION:  
Defrosting—Do not use sharp, pointed  
objects to remove frost or ice from  
surfaces of the refrigerator and/or  
freezer compartment. Doing so could  
puncture the cooling coil, causing the  
unit to lose its ability to maintain cold  
temperatures and voiding the warranty.  
See the Care and Cleaning section for  
instructions on defrosting the  
refrigerator and/or freezer  
compartment.

USE OF EXTENSION CORDS  
Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions,  
we strongly recommend against the use of an extension cord.  
OepagIructions  
However, if you must use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary  
that it be a UL-listed, 3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord  
having a grounding type plug and outlet and that the electrical rating  
of the cord be 15 amperes (minimum) and 120 volts.  
HOW TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY  
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third  
(ground) prong from the power cord. For personal safety,  
this appliance must be properly grounded.  
laIructions  
The power cord of this appliance  
is equipped with a 3-prong  
(grounding) plug which  
mates with a standard 3-prong  
(grounding) wall outlet to  
This provides the best  
performance and also prevents  
overloading house wiring circuits  
which could cause a fire hazard  
from overheated wires.  
minimize the possibility of electric  
shock hazard from this appliance.  
Never unplug your refrigerator  
by pulling on the power cord.  
Always grip plug firmly and pull  
straight out from the outlet.  
Have the wall outlet and circuit  
checked by a qualified electrician  
to make sure the outlet is  
properly grounded.  
Repair or replace immediately all  
power cords that have become  
frayed or otherwise damaged.  
Do not use a cord that shows  
cracks or abrasion damage along  
its length or at either end.  
T
r
ulbeshotingT  
If you have only a standard  
2-prong wall outlet, it is your  
personal responsibility and  
obligation to have it replaced  
with a properly grounded  
3-prong wall outlet.  
When moving the refrigerator  
away from the wall, be careful  
not to roll over or damage the  
power cord.  
isp  
The refrigerator should always be  
plugged into its own individual  
electrical outlet which has a  
voltage rating that matches the  
rating plate.

About the control on the refrigerator.  
SafeyIructions  
OpeagIructions  
The control will look like the one above.  
The arrow indicates the setting selected.  
Control Settings  
The temperature control maintains the temperature in the  
refrigerator. 1 is the warmest setting; higher numbers are colder  
settings with 7 being the coldest setting. The typical setting is between  
2 and 3.  
laIructions  
ips  
Allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to reach the desired temperature.  
If you want a colder or warmer temperature, move the dial one setting  
at a time. Moving the control to O stops cooling but does not turn off  
the power to the refrigerator. Setting the control too high may cause  
freezing in the refrigerator depending on the room temperature.

How To Test Temperatures  
Use the milk test. Place a container of milk on a shelf and check it  
a day later. If the milk is too warm or too cold, adjust the temperature  
control.  
After changing the control, allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to reach the  
temperature you have set.

Shelves  
To remove a shelf, lift up the back slightly and pull forward.  
Some models have multi-position shelves that can be moved

Ice Tray Compartment  
This compartment is designed for production of ice cubes and  
short-term storage (a few days at most) of some commercially-  
frozen foods when in contact with the evaporator (cold surface  
in compartment.)  
Door Shelves  
Shelves on the door provide convenient storage for frequently  
used items. Some models have doors that are deep enough to  
store large bottles.

Care and cleaning of the refrigerator.  
Cleaning the Outside  
Keep the outside clean. Wipe with a clean cloth lightly dampened  
with kitchen appliance wax or mild liquid dish detergent. Dry and  
polish with a clean, soft cloth.  
SafeyIructions  
Do not wipe the refrigerator with a soiled dish cloth or wet towel. These may  
leave a residue that can erode the paint. Do not use scouring pads, powdered  
cleaners, bleach or cleaners containing bleach because these products can  
scratch and weaken the paint finish.  
Protect the paint finish. The finish on the outside of the refrigerator  
is a high quality, baked-on paint finish. With proper care, it will  
stay new-looking and rust-free for years. Apply a coat of kitchen/  
appliance wax when the refrigerator is new, and then at least  
twice a year.  
OpeagIructions  
Cleaning the Inside  
To help prevent odors, leave an open box of baking soda in the  
refrigerator.  
Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning. If this is not practical,  
wring excess moisture out of sponge or cloth when cleaning  
around the control.  
Use warm water and baking soda solution–about a tablespoon  
(15 ml) of baking soda to a quart (1 liter) of water. This both  
cleans and neutralizes odors. Rinse and wipe dry.  
laIructions  
Other parts of the refrigerator–including door gaskets, fruit  
and vegetable drawers, and all plastic parts–can be cleaned  
the same way.  
ips  
Do not wash any plastic refrigerator parts in the dishwasher.

Defrosting (on manual defrost models with freezer area)  
Defrost whenever frost on the wall of the ice tray compartment becomes  
1/4thick. Never use a sharp or metallic instrument to remove frost as  
it may damage the cooling coils. (A punctured cooling coil will cause  
serious problems and void the warranty.) We recommend using a plastic scraper.  
Do not use any electrical device in defrosting your refrigerator.  
OepagIructions  
To defrost:  
Remove foods and ice trays from the ice tray compartment.  
Set the temperature control dial at O (off) position.  
On models without a drip tray, place a pan beneath the ice tray  
compartment to collect water.  
Defrosting usually takes a few hours. To defrost faster, keep the  
door open. Also, pouring warm (not hot) water on the frosted part  
may speed defrosting. Do not use boiling water—it may damage  
plastic parts.  
laIructions  
After defrosting:  
Empty water from the drip tray or from the pan placed beneath  
the ice tray compartment. Wash the tray or pan with warm water.  
Wipe the ice tray compartment with a damp cloth.  
Turn the temperature control to the desired setting and  
return food and ice trays to the refrigerator.  
NOTE: If ice buildup is very thick, it may keep the ice tray compartment door  
from opening or closing completely. Don’t try to force it open; after defrosting,  
the door will open and close easily.

Preparing for Vacation  
For long vacations or absences, remove food and unplug the  
refrigerator. Move the control to the O (off) position, and clean the  
interior with a baking soda solution of one tablespoon (15 ml) of  
baking soda to one quart (1 liter) of water. Leave the door open.  
isp  
CsnmeSuport  
Preparing to Move  
Secure all loose items such as shelves and ice trays by taping them  
securely in place to prevent damage.  
Be sure the refrigerator stays in an upright position during moving.

Preparing to install the refrigerator.  
Read these instructions completely and carefully.  
Refrigerator Location  
SafeyIructions  
Do not install the refrigerator where the temperature will go below  
50°F (10°C) because it will not run often enough to maintain  
proper temperatures.  
Install it on a floor strong enough to support it fully loaded.  
Do not install it closer than 5(13 cm) next to a range.  
Do not install it in a recessed area.  
Do not build in the refrigerator.
