R e f ri g e r a t o r
• Allow for a free flow of air through the front base grille,
• Install the refrigerator where the room temperature will
not go below 55° F. With temperatures below 55°, the
refrigerator will not run frequently enough to maintain
proper temperature in the freezer.
• Allow a minimum 1/2" clearance on the sides, top and
back for ease of installation. If the refrigerator is placed
with the door hinge side against awall, you may want to
allow additional space so the door can be opened wider,
• Use caution when installing the unit on vinyl or hardwood floors so as not to mark or otherwise damage the
flooring. A piece of plywood, a rug or other material
should be used to protect the floor while positioning the
unit.
Leveling
is Important
Toenhance
appearance
andtomaintain
optimal
performance, the refrigerator must be level. Your refrigerator has
wheels which can be adjusted for leveling:
• Remove the lower hinge covers (see fig. 1). To do this,
grasp each cover near the hinge and apply pressure. The
attachment tabs will snap out, allowing removal of the
covers.
• Adjust the wheels with a screwdriver (see fig. 2).
• To lock the cabinet in place, turn down both
leveling/lock feet, located near the front wheels (see fig.
3). Rear leveling/lock feet are not required.
• Replace the hinge covers.
• If the floor is not level and it is necessary to raise the
rear of the cabinet, we suggest rolling the rear wheels
onto a piece of plywood or other shim material.

Surfaces
At times, the front of the refrigerator cabinet may be warm
to the touch. This is a normal occurrence that helps prevent
moisture from condensing on the cabinet. The condition
will be more noticeable when you first start the refrigerator, during hot weather and after excessive or lengthy door
openings,

Defrosting
Your refrigerator is designed to defrost automatically.
Note: During the automatic defrost cycle, you may notice
a red glow/reflection in the vents on the back wall of
the freezer compartment and you may hear the sound
of water droplets coming into contact with the
defrost heater. This is normal during the defrost
cycle.

and Door
Shelf
The fresh food compartment is equipped with 3 Elevator'"
shelves. These shelves have a spill retainer edge for easy
clean up. They also have the convenient slide out feature
that allows easy access to items stored at the rear of the
shelf.
These shelves can be adjusted up or down without having
to be unloaded of their contents. To adjust an Elevator '_'
shelf, unfold the recessed crank handle so it is at a right
angle to the shelf front. Crank to the right (clockwise) to
raise the height of the shelf, and the left (counterclockwise)
to lower the height of the shelf.
To remove the Elevator '_'shelf for occasional cleaning:
• Completely unload the shelf.
• Grasp the shelf front and pull forward until it stops.
• Press the stops from below (both sides) upward and
continue pulling the shelf forward, clear of the frame.
• To reinstall, align the shelf to the frame and push it all
the way back. (There is no need to depress the stops for
reinstallation).
In ordinary use, the Elevator r"shelf with the frame assembly does NOT require removal. Though unlikely, and not
recommended, the correct removal procedure is as follows:
• Unload the shelf completely.
• Slide the shelf forward about two inches and manually
move the two rear latches toward the shelf center.
• While supporting the entire shelf and frame from
underneath, lift slightly and rotate the assembly
approximately 30° to allow the rear mechanism to clear
the vertical rear side rails.
• The entire assembly can then be moved forward and
clear of the refrigerator compartment.
• To reinstall, reverse the removal procedure. Be sure the
shelf is in a level position. When the sliding shelf is
pushed to the rear, it will reposition the rear latches to
their correct operating position.

ChillKeeper"
Use the main compartment of the ChillkeepeF' (certain models) to quick chill items and to store your favorite cold drinks.
To open the compartment, grasp the opening on the right
side of the compartment cover and swing to the left. The
compartment will automatically latch when the compartment cover is gently closed. If the latching mechanism is
accidentally dislocated, place the eraser end of a pencil
next to the latch and apply gentle pressure to the right.
There is a control for the ChillKeeper located on the left
wall of the fresh food compartment. The slide control
allows customization of the temperature within this compartment. The "Cool" setting provides a more moderate
temperature. Sliding the control to "Cold" will provide
TM
colder temperatures within the compartment.
The Chillkeeper" shelf can be used to create a 2 tier storage area within the compartment. If unneeded, the shelf
can be detached, inverted and snapped onto the upper-most
tabs, out of the way. This creates a larger storage space
within the compartment.
There is a utility drawer located at the bottom of the
ChillkeepeC'. The lock for this drawer is located on the left
side of the drawer. To open the drawer, move the pin to the
"Unlock" position and the drawer will slide open. To
close, gently slide the drawer back in and move the pin into
the "Lock" position.
Dairy
Compartment
To use the roomy Dairy Compartment, simply raise the
cover. Depending on which model you have chosen, this
compartment may come equipped with a Tender to secure
compartment contents in place or a Butter Dish.
If your model has the tender, simply slide the Tender from
side to side for desired placement.
Egg Caddy
The Egg Caddy (style may vary) holds a "dozen-plus"
eggs. It can be removed to be washed or carried to a work
area.

To remove the bin, reach under the bin front and pull down
on the back edge. After it snaps free, pull the bin straight
forward. To avoid the ice maker dumping ice while the bin
is removed turn the ice maker off by lifting the wire lever.
To replace the ice bin, align the bottom rails to the corresponding shelf grooves and push it straight back until it
stops and latches. Make sure the tabs, at the back of the
bin, that turn the spiral auger are positioned between the
prongs from the auger motor. Turn the ice maker on by
lowering the wire arm.

Storage
• The fresh food compartment of a refrigerator should
be kept between 34°F and 40°F with an optimum ten>
peratnre of 37°E 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 adjust the controls as
explained on page 5.
* The freezer compartment of a refrigerator should be
kept at 0°F or lower. To check the temperature, place
an appliance thermometer bep,veen the frozen packages and check after 24 honrs. If the temperature is
above 0°K adjust the control as described on page 5.
