It is important to prepare your refrigerator for use. This section will tell you how to clean it,

connect it to a power source, install it and level it.

Cleaning it

Remove tape and any inside labels (except

the model and serial number label) before

using the refrigerator.

To remove any remaining glue:

Rub briskly with your thumb to make a ball,

then remove.

Soak area with liquid handdishwashing

detergent before removing glue as above.

Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing

alcohol, flammable fluids or abrasive

cleaners. These can damage the material.

See ‘Important Safety Instructions” on

page 3.

NOTE: Do not remove any permanent

instruction labels inside your refrigerator. Do

not remove the Tech Sheet fastened under

the refrigerator at the front.

Cleaning it before use

After removing all packaging materials,

clean your refrigerator before using it, if

necessary. See cleaning instructions on

pages 13-l 4.

Plugging it in

Recommended Grounding Method

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

fused and properly grounded electrical

supply is required. It is recommended that a

In order to obtain the best possible results from your refrigerator, it is important that you

in the refrigerator. When the refrigerator is

plugged in for the first time:

1. Set the Refrigerator Control to 3.

Refrigerator Control adjustments range

from 1 (warmest) to 5 (coldest).

2. Set the Freezer Control to B.

Freezer Control adjustments range from

A (coldest) to C (warmest).

3. Give the refrigerator time to cool down

completely before adding food. This may

take several hours.

The settings indicated above should be

correct for normal, household refrigerator

usage. The controls will be set correctly

when milk or juice is as cold as you like

and when ice cream is firm. lf you need to

adjust these settings, see “Changing the

control settings” on page 8.

setting when humidity is low.

2. Use the REDUCES EXTERIOR MOIS-

TURE setting if moisture forms on the

outside of the refrigerator cabinet.

refrigerator or freezer, use the settings listed

in the chart below as a guide. If you have

Using the ice cube trays

If cubes are not used, they may shrink. The

moving cokl 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.

Using the optional automatic ice maker

If you plan to add an automatic ice maker

later (Part No. IMKIT), there are a few things

you will want to know:

pfrlaemtor cabmet.

The dial or lever on the side of the ice

maker changes the size of the cubes.

Shake the bin occasionally to keep cubes

separated and to obtain increased storage

Capity.

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. Wail 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 in all the way and

lower the signal arm to the ON position.

If cubes are stored too long, they may

develop an off -flavor ... like stale water.

Throw them away. Ice maker will make

new ice. Cubes in the ice bin can also

become smaller by evaporation.
