Installation ENERGY SAVING TIPS

This Use & Care Guide provides general operating instructions for your model. Use the refrigerator only as instructed in this Use & Care Guide. Before starting the refrigerator, follow these important first steps.

Location

•Choose a place that is near a grounded electrical outlet. Do Not use an extension cord or an adapter plug.

•For the most efficient operation, the refrigerator should be located where surrounding temperatures will not drop below 10° F (-12° C) or exceed 110° F (43° C). The Freeze Control Feature is designed to automatically maintain the selected interior refrigerator temperature within these boundaries.

•Allow space around the unit for good air circulation. Leave a 4 inch (101.6 mm) space on the back and 3 inches (76.2 mm) on the sides and back of the refrigerator for adequate circulation.

NOTE

The exterior walls of the refrigerator may become quite warm as the compressor works to transfer heat from the inside. Temperatures as much as 30° F warmer than room temperature can be expected. For this reason it is particularly important in hotter climates

to allow enough space for air circulation around your refrigerator.

Leveling

The refrigerator must have all bottom corners resting firmly on solid floor. The floor must be strong enough to support a fully loaded refrigerator. NOTE: It is Very Important for your refrigerator to be level in order to function properly. If the refrigerator is not leveled during installation, the door may be misaligned and not close or seal properly, causing cooling, frost, or moisture problems.

To Level Your Refrigerator:

After removing all interior and exterior packaging materials, use a carpenter’s level to level the After discarding crating screws and wood base, use a carpenter’s level to level the refrigerator from front-to- back. Adjust the plastic leveling feet in front, ½ bubble higher, so that the door closes easily when left halfway open. from front-to-back. Adjust the leveling legs in front, ½ bubble higher, so that the door closes easily

when left halfway open.

Cleaning

•Wash any removable parts of the rrefrigerator interior, and exterior with mild detergent and warm water. Wipe dry. Do not use harsh cleaners on these surfaces.

•Do not use razor blades or other sharp instruments, which can scratch the appliance surface when removing adhesive labels. Any glue left from the tape can be removed with a mixture of warm water and mild detergent, or touch the residue with the sticky side of tape already removed. Do not remove the serial plate.

CAUTION

To allow door to close and seal properly, DO NOT let food packages extend past the front of shelves.

ENERGY SAVING TIPS

•Install the refrigerator in the coolest part of a dry and ventilated room, out of direct sunlight and away from heating ducts or registers. Do not place the refrigerator next to heat-producing appliances such as a range, oven or dishwasher.

•Level the refrigerator so the door close tightly.

•Do not overcrowd the refrigerator or block cold air vents. Doing so causes the refrigerator to run longer and use more energy. Shelves should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper or paper toweling. Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the wine cooler less efficient.

•Wipe bottles and containers dry before placing them in the refrigerator. This cuts down on moisture build- up inside the unit.

•Organize the refrigerator to reduce door openings. Remove as many items as needed at one time and close the door as soon as possible.
