BeforeUsingYourRefrigerator

1. Clean it

Clean your refrigerator before using it. See

cleaning instructions on page 10.

2. Plug it in

Recommended Grounding Method

A 115 Volt, 60 Hz., AC only 15 or 20 ampere fused

and properly grounded electrical supply is

required. It is recommended that a separate circuit

serving only this appliance be provided. Use a re-

ceptacle which cannot be turned off with a switch

or pull chain. Do not use an extension cord.

See Electrical Requirements and Grounding

Instruction Sheet in your Literature Package.

3. Install properly

. . -

1. Allow 3 inches (7.5 cm) between overhead

cabinets and the refrigerator top.

2. Allow at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) between the

refrigerator condenser on the back and the wall.

3. Allow YZinch (1.25 cm) on each side of the

refrigerator for ease of installation.

4. If the refrigerator is to be against a wall, you

might want to leave extra space on the hinge

side so the door can be opened wider.

5. If your refrigerator has an ice maker, make sure

ice maker water supply has been connected.

Refer to Installation Instructions.

UsingYourRefrigerator

Setting the controls

Controls for the refrigerator and freezer are in the

refrigerator. When the refrigerator is plugged in for

the first time:

1. Set the Refrigerator Control to 3.

2. Set the Freezer Control to B.

Give the refrigerator time to cool down completely

before adding food. (This may take several hours.)

These settings should be about right for normal

household refrigerator usage.

The controls will be set about right when milk

or juice is as cold as you like and when ice cream

is firm.

Refrigerator Control adjustments range from

1to 5. Freezer Control adjustments range from

A to C.

Changing the control settings

If you need to adjust temperatures in refrigerator or

freezer, use the settings listed in the chart below. If

you have questions, call your COOL-LINE@ setv-

ice assistance telephone number. (See page 14.)

Adjust the Refrigerator Control first.

Wait at least 24 hours between adjustments.

Then adjust the Freezer Control if needed.

Changing the light bulb

Electrical Shock Hazard

Before removing the light bulb, either

unplug the refrigerator or disconnect the

electricity leading to the refrigerator at the

main power supply. Shock and injury can

occur if electricity remains connected.

To change refrigerator light:

1. Disconnect refrigerator from power supply.

2. Reach behind the Control Console to find bulb.

3. Remove bulb.

4. Replace with a 40-watt appliance bulb.

5. Reconnect power supply.

NOTE: Not all commercial appliance bulbs will fit

your refrigerator. Be sure to replace bulb with one

of the same size and shape.

Reversing the door swing

You can change the hinges on your refrigerator

so the doors open the other way. You will need a

Phillips head screwdriver. Refer to the instruction

sheet included with your refrigerator.

Using Your Refrigerator

Ice cube trays

If cubes are not used, they may shrink. The

moving cold air starts a slow evaporation. The

longer cubes are stored, the smaller they get.

To remove ice:

1. Hold tray at both ends.

2. Twist slightly.

Automatic ice maker

If you have the automatic ice maker accessory, or

if you plan to add one later (Part No. ECKMF-90)

there are a few things you will want to know:

The ON/OFF lever is a wire signal arm.

Down.. .for making ice automatically.

Up.. .to shut off the ice maker.

NOTE: Do not turn ice maker on until it is

connected to the water supply.

The dial or lever on the side of the ice maker

changes the size of the cubes.

Shake the bin occasionally to keep cubes sepa-

rated, and to obtain increased storage capacity.

It is normal for ice crescents to be attached by a

corner. They will break apart easily.

You will hear water running when ice maker is

working. You’ll hear ice fall into the bin. Don’t let

these sounds bother you.

The ice maker will not operate until the freezer

is cold enough to make ice. This can take

overnight.

Because of new plumbing connections, the first

ice may be discolored or off-flavored. Discard the

first few batches of ice.

If ice is not being made fast enough and more ice

is needed, turn the Refrigerator Control toward a

higher number. Wait a day and, if necessary, turn

the Freezer Control toward A.

If you remove the ice bin, raise the signal arm to

shut off the ice maker. When you return the bin,

push it all the way in and lower the arm to the ON

position.

If cubes are stored too long, they may develop

an off-flavor...like stale water. Throw them away.

They will be replaced. Cubes in the ice bin can

also become smaller by evaporation.

Good water quality is important for good ice

quality. It is not recommended that the ice maker

be connected to a softened water supply. Water

softener chemicals such as salt from a malfunc-

tioning softener can damage the ice maker mold

and lead to poor quality ice. If a softened water

supply cannot be avoided, then it is important

that the water softener be well maintained and

operating properly.

Soundsyoumayhear

Your new refrigerator may make sounds that your

old one didn’t. Because the sounds are new to

you, you might be concerned about them. Don’t

be. Most of the new sounds are normal. Hard sur-

faces like the floor, walls and cabinets can make

the sounds seem louder.

The following describes the kinds of sounds

that might be new to you, and what may be

making them.

Slight hum, soft hiss

You may hear the refrigerator’s fan motor and

moving air.

Clicking or snapping sounds

The thermostat makes a definite click when the

refrigerator stops running. It also makes a sound

when the refrigerator starts. The defrost timer will

click when the defrost cycle starts and stops.

Water sounds

When the refrigerator stops running, you may hear

gurgling in the tubing for a few minutes after it

stops. You may also hear defrost water running

into the defrost water pan.

Ice maker sounds

trickling water

thud (clatter of ice)

If your refrigerator has an ice maker you may hear

buzzing (from the water valve), trickling water and

the clatter of ice dumped into the bin.

Running sounds

Your refrigerator has a high-efficiency compressor

and motor. It will run longer than older designs. It

may even seem to run most of the time.

Energysavingtips

You can help your refrigerator use less electricity.

Check door gaskets for a tight seal. Level the

cabinet to be sure of a good seal.

Clean the condenser coils regularly.

Open the door as few times as possible. Think

about what you need before you open the door.

Get everything out at one time. Keep food orga-

nized so you won’t have to search for what you

want. Close door as soon as food is removed.

Go ahead and fill up the refrigerator, but don’t

overcrowd it so air movement is blocked.

It is a waste of electricity to set the refrigerator

and freezer to temperatures colder than they

need to be. If ice cream is firm in the freezer and

drinks are as cold as your family likes them,

that’s cold enough.

Keep the Exterior Moisture Control on the OFF

setting unless moisture forms on refrigerator

exterior.

Make sure your refrigerator is not next to a heat

source such as a range, water heater, furnace,

radiator or in direct sunlight.

CleaningYourRefrigerator

Both the refrigerator and freezer sections defrost

automatically. But both should be cleaned about

once a month to help prevent odors from building

up. Spills should be wiped up right away.

To clean your refrigerator, turn the Refrigerator

Control to OFF, unplug it, take out all removable

parts and clean the refrigerator according to the

following directions.
