Failure to follow these instructions can  
result in death, fire, or electrical shock.  
Initial Temperature Setting  
Temperatures are preset at the factory at 38° F (3° C) in the refrigerator  
compartment and 0° F (-18° C) in the freezer compartment.  
Adjusting the Control  
24 hours after adding food, you may decide that one or both  
compartments should be colder or warmer. If so, adjust the control as  
indicated in the Temperature Control Guide below.  
• The first touch of the UP or DOWN pads shows the current  
temperature setting.  
• The display will show the new setting for approximately three  
seconds, and then return to the actual temperature currently within  
that compartment.  
DANGER  
Risk of Child Entrapment  
BEFORE YOU THROW AWAY  
YOUR OLD REFRIGERATOR OR  
FREEZER:  
Take off the doors.  
•Leave the shelves in place so  
that children may not easily  
climb inside.  
• Do not change either control more than one degree at a time. Allow  
temperature to stabilize for 24 hours before making a new  
temperature adjustment.  
IMPORTANT: Child entrapment and  
suffocation are not problems of the  
past. Junked or abandoned  
refrigerators are still dangerous...  
even if they will sit for “just a few  
days.”

WARNING  
To avoid personal injury or property damage, observe the following:  
To Remove:  
• Do not place fingers or hands on the automatic ice making  
mechanism while the refrigerator is plugged in. This will help protect  
you from possible injury. It will also prevent interference with moving  
parts of the ejector mechanism and the heating element that releases  
the cubes.  
• Under certain rare circumstances, ice cubes may be discolored,  
usually appearing with a green-bluish hue. The cause of this unusual  
discoloration can be a combination of factors such as certain  
characteristics of local waters, household plumbing and the  
accumulation of copper salts in an inactive water supply line which  
feeds the ice maker. Continued consumption of such discolored ice  
cubes may be injurious to health. If such discoloration is observed,  
discard the ice cubes and contact your dealer to purchase and install  
a water line filter.  
•Lift the door bin up until it clears the retainers on  
the door liner, then pull the door bin straight out.  
To Install:  
•Slide bin in above desired door liner retainer and  
push down until bin stops.

will not deactivate when door is closed.  
• Water damage due to improper water connection may cause  
mold/mildew growth.  
• Clean up water and ice spills to avoid personal injury and to prevent  
mold/mildew growth.  
Drop-Down Freezer Door Bins  
These baskets provide convenient storage  
space for frozen food items that tend to  
shift, such as bagged vegetables.

Automatic Ice Maker  
Operating Instructions  
• Confirm ice bin is in place and ice maker arm is down.  
• After freezer section reaches between 0° to 2° F (-18° to -17° C), ice  
maker fills with water and begins operating. You will have a complete  
harvest of ice approximately every three hours.  
• Allow approximately 24 hours after installation to receive first harvest  
of ice.  
• Discard ice created within first 12 hours of  
icemaker operation to assure system is flushed  
of impurities.  
• Stop ice production by raising ice maker arm  
until click is heard.  
Dispenser Light  
A light activates within the dispenser area at full power when  
dispensing ice or water with the main dispenser pad.  
• Ice maker will remain in the off position until  
arm is pushed down.  
• The first one or two batches will probably  
contain undersized and irregular cubes  
because of air in the supply line.  
Dispenser Pad  
The Dispenser Pad is located on the back wall of the dispensing area.  
When the dispenser pad is pressed, the selection chosen on the  
dispenser control panel will dispense.  
• When the ice cubes are ejected it is normal for several cubes to be  
joined together at the ends. They can easily be broken apart. The ice  
maker will continue to make ice until the supply of ice cubes raises  
the ice maker arm, shutting the ice maker off.  
• Certain sounds may accompany the various cycles of the ice maker.  
The motor may have a slight hum, the cubes will rattle as they fall into  
an empty storage pan and the water valve may click or “buzz”  
occasionally.  
Removable Tray  
The Removable Tray at the bottom of the dispenser area is designed to  
collect small spills and may be easily removed for cleaning and  
emptying purposes. IMPORTANT: Removable tray does not drain. Do  
not allow tray to overflow. If it does, remove tray and wipe up overflow.  
• If the ice is not used frequently, the ice cubes will become cloudy,  
shrink, stick together and taste stale. Empty the ice storage bin  
periodically and wash it in lukewarm water. Be sure to dry the bin  
thoroughly before replacing it.  
• Beverages and foods should not be placed in the ice storage bin for  
quick chilling. These items can block the ice maker arm, causing the  
ice maker to malfunction.  
Turn off (arm up) the ice maker when the water supply is to be shut off  
for an extended period of time.

Food Storage Tips  
Fresh Food Storage  
• The refrigerator should be kept between 34°-40° F (1°-4° C) with an  
optimum temperature of 38° F (3.3° C). To check the temperature,  
place an appliance thermometer in a glass of water and place in the  
center of the refrigerator. Check after 24 hours. If the temperature is  
above 40° F (4° C) adjust the control as explained on page 5.  
• Avoid overcrowding the refrigerator shelves. This reduces the  
circulation of air around the food and results in uneven cooling.

Storage times are approximate and may vary depending on type of  
packaging, storage temperature, and the quality of the food when  
purchased.  
Frozen Food Storage  
• The freezer compartment of a refrigerator should be kept at  
approximately 0° F (-18° C). To check the temperature, place an  
appliance thermometer between the frozen packages and check  
after 24 hours. If the temperature is above 0° F (-18° C), adjust the  
control as described on page 5.

Packaging Foods for Freezing  
To minimize dehydration and quality deterioration use aluminum  
foil, freezer wrap, freezer bags or airtight containers. Force as much  
air out of the packages as possible and be sure they are tightly  
sealed. Trapped air can cause the food to dry out, change color  
and develop an off-flavor (freezer burn).

Loading the Freezer  
• Avoid adding too much warm food to the freezer at one time. This  
overloads the freezer, slows the rate of freezing and can raise the  
temperature of frozen foods.  
• Leave space between the packages so cold air can circulate freely,  
allowing food to freeze as quickly as possible.  
• Avoid storing hard-to-freeze foods such as ice cream and orange  
juice on the freezer door shelves. These foods are best stored in  
the freezer interior where the temperature varies less with door  
openings.

Care and Cleaning  
Removing Odors From Refrigerator  
• Remove all food and turn the refrigerator OFF.  
• Disconnect power to the refrigerator.  
Care and Cleaning  
Energy Saving Tips (con’t)  
• Be sure your doors are closing securely by leveling refrigerator as  
instructed in your installation instructions.  
• Clean the walls, floor, ceiling of cabinet interior, drawers, shelves and  
gaskets according to the instructions (see page 29).  
• Dilute mild detergent and brush solution into crevices using a plastic  
bristle brush. Let stand for five minutes. Rinse surfaces with warm water.  
Dry surfaces with a soft, clean cloth.  
• Clean condenser coils as indicated in the cleaning instructions every  
three months. This will increase energy efficiency and cooling  
performance.  
Replacing Light Bulbs  
• Wash and dry all bottles, containers and jars. Discard spoiled or expired  
items.  
• Wrap or store odor-causing foods in tightly sealed containers to prevent  
recurring odors.  
• Reconnect power to refrigerator and return food to refrigerator.  
• Allow the refrigerator to cool.  
• After 24 hours, check if odor has been eliminated.  
CAUTION  
To avoid personal injury or  
property damage, observe the  
following:  
• Allow light bulb to cool  
• Wear gloves when replacing  
light bulb  
WARNING  
To avoid electrical shock which  
can cause severe personal injury  
or death, disconnect power to  
refrigerator before replacing light  
bulb. After replacing light bulb,  
connect power.  
If odor is still present:  
Upper Refrigerator Compartment  
The upper refrigerator light bulbs are located behind the front panel.  
Reach behind the panel to remove the bulbs.  
• Remove drawers and place on top shelf of refrigerator.  
• Pack refrigerator and freezer sections – including doors – with crumpled  
sheets of black and white newspaper.  
• Place charcoal briquettes randomly on crumpled newspaper in both  
freezer and refrigerator compartments.  
• Close doors and let stand 24 to 48 hours.  
Lower Refrigerator Compartment  
• Push up on bottom tabs on light cover. Rotate cover  
up and release tabs.  
Energy Saving Tips  
• Remove light bulb.  
• Avoid overcrowding refrigerator shelves. This reduces air circulation  
around food and causes refrigerator to run longer.  
• Avoid adding too much warm food to refrigerator at one time. This  
overloads compartments and slows rate of cooling.  
• Do not use aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper toweling as shelf liners.  
This decreases air flow and causes refrigerator to run less efficiently.  
• A freezer that is two-thirds full runs most efficiently.  
• Locate refrigerator in coolest part of room. Avoid areas of direct  
sunlight, or near heating ducts, registers or other heat producing  
appliances. If this is not possible, isolate exterior by using a section of  
cabinet or an added layer of insulation.  
• Replace with appliance bulbs no greater than 40 watts.  
• Insert top tabs of light cover into liner slots and snap  
bottom tabs into liner slots.  
Upper Freezer Compartment  
• Remove ice bin by lifting front of bin and  
pulling out.  
• Remove light shield by pressing the upper  
right side of the shield and rotating downward.  
• Remove light bulb. Replace bulb with appliance bulb no greater than  
40 watts.  
• Rotate the shield upward, press slightly and snap into place.  
• Replace ice bin by sliding in until bin locks into place.  
• Clean door gaskets every three months according to cleaning  
instructions. This will assure that door seals properly and refrigerator  
runs efficiently.  
Take time to organize items in refrigerator to reduce time that door is  
open.

Operating Sounds  
Care and Cleaning  
Improvements in refrigeration design may produce sounds in your new  
refrigerator that are different or were not present in an older model.  
These improvements were made to create a refrigerator that is better at  
preserving food, is more energy efficient, and is quieter overall.  
Because new refrigerators run quieter, sounds may be detected that  
were present in older refrigerators, but were masked by higher sound  
levels. Many of these sounds are normal. Please note that the surfaces  
adjacent to a refrigerator, such as hard walls, floors and cabinetry may  
make these sounds seem even louder. The following are some of the  
normal sounds that may be noticed in a new refrigerator.  
Upon Your Return  
After a Short Vacation or Absence:  
For models with automatic ice makers or dispensers:  
• Reconnect the water supply and turn on supply valve (see Installation  
Instructions).  
• Monitor water connection for 24 hours and correct leaks if necessary.  
• Run 10-15 glasses of water from the dispenser to flush out the system.  
• Restart the ice maker by lowering the ice maker arm.  
• Discard at least the first three ice harvests.
