This Owner's Guide provides specific operating instructions for your model. Use the refrigerator only as instructed in this Owner'sGuide. Before starting the refrigerator, follow

these important first steps.

INSTALLATION

To Level Your Refrigerator:

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.

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.

Installation

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 a 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.

CLEANING

•Wash any removable parts of the refrigerator 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 deter-

gent, or touch the residue with the sticky side of tape alreadyremoved.Do not remove the serial plate.
