IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury when using your refrigerator, follow these basic precautions: ■ Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet. ■ Use nonflammable cleaner. ■ Do not remove ground prong. ■ Do not use an adapter. ■ Do not use an extension cord. ■ Disconnect power before servicing. ■ Replace all parts and panels before operating. ■ Remove doors from your old refrigerator. ■ Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from refrigerator. ■ Use two or more people to move and install refrigerator. ■ Disconnect power before installing ice maker (on ice maker kit ready models only). ■ Use a sturdy glass when dispensing ice (on some models). SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS Proper Disposal of Your Old Refrigerator WARNING Suffocation Hazard Remove doors from your old refrigerator. Failure to do so can result in death or brain damage. 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." If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator, please follow these instructions to help prevent accidents. 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. REFRIGERATOR USE Using the Controls Temperature Control Adjustment and Cooling On/Off The refrigerator and freezer control buttons are located on the dispenser panel. To turn cooling off, press and hold the LOCK and OPTIONS buttons at the same time for 3 seconds. Press and hold LOCK and OPTIONS again to turn cooling on. Your refrigerator and freezer will not cool when cooling is off. IMPORTANT: To avoid unintentionally locking the dispenser or changing other settings, be sure to press both buttons at exactly the same time. For your convenience, your refrigerator and freezer controls are preset at the factory. When you first install your refrigerator, make sure that the controls are still set to the "mid-settings." To view set points, press the COOLING button on your dispenser panel. The factory recommended set points are 0°F (-18°C) for the freezer and 37°F (3°C) for the refrigerator. IMPORTANT: ■ Wait 24 hours before you put food into the refrigerator. If you add food before the refrigerator has cooled completely, your food may spoil. NOTE: Adjusting the set points to a higher (colder) than recommended setting will not cool the compartments any faster. ■ If the temperature is too warm or too cold in the refrigerator or freezer, first check the air vents to be sure they are not blocked before adjusting the controls. ■ The preset settings should be correct for normal household usage. The controls are set correctly when milk or juice is as cold as you like and when ice cream is firm. ■ Wait at least 24 hours between adjustments. Recheck the temperatures before other adjustments are made. 2
