Installation

WARNING

To be done by a qualified engineer only.

Location

• Do not install refrigerator near oven, radiator or other heat source. If not possible, shield refrigerator with cabinet material.

• Do not install where temperature falls below 13° C or rises above 43° C. Malfunction may occur at this temperature.

• Refrigerator is designed for indoor household application only.

Measuring the Opening

When installing your refrigerator allow 13 mm space at top, 19 mm space behind machine compartment cover

( located in the rear). Allow 6 mm space on both sides of the refrigerator for proper air circulation, ease of installation, and leveling. If the refrigerator is placed with the door hinge side against the wall, you may want to allow additional space so the door can be opened wider.

Note: 60 cm deep models

Trim corners of countertop to a 45° angle if countertop has 25 mm overhang. Provide 5 mm clearance on both sides of refrigerator, and allow

7 mm on top for ease of installation and leveling.

No minimum clearance is required at the rear of the cabinet.

Subflooring or floor coverings (i.e. carpet, tile, wood floors, rugs) may make your opening smaller than anticipated.

Some clearance may be gained by using the leveling procedure under Leveling.

IMPORTANT: If refrigerator is to be installed into a recess where the top of the refrigerator is completely covered, use dimensions from floor to top of hinge cap to verify proper clearance.

Transporting Your Refrigerator

• NEVER transport refrigerator on its side. If an upright position is not possible, lay refrigerator on its back. Allow refrigerator to sit upright for approximately 30 minutes before plugging it in to assure oil returns to the compressor. Plugging refrigerator in immediately may cause damage to internal parts.

• Use an appliance dolly when moving refrigerator.

ALWAYS truck refrigerator from its side or back–NEVER from its front.

• Protect outside finish of refrigerator during transport by wrapping cabinet in blankets or inserting padding between the refrigerator and dolly.

• Secure refrigerator to dolly firmly with straps or bungee cords. Thread straps through handles when possible. Do not overtighten. Overtightening restraints may dent or damage outside finish.

Water Filter Removal and

Installation (select models)

WARNING

To avoid serious illness or death, do not use refrigerator where water is unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after use of filter.

CAUTION

After installing a new water filter, always dispense water for two minutes before removing the filter for any reason. Air trapped in system may cause water and cartridge to eject. Use caution when removing.

• The bypass cap does not filter water. Be sure to have replacement cartridge available when filter change is required.

• If water filtration system has been allowed to freeze, replace filter cartridge.

• If system has not been used for several months, or water has an unpleasant taste or odor, flush system by dispensing water for two to three minutes. If unpleasant taste or odor persists, change filter cartridge.

Initial Installation

The water filter is located in the upper right hand corner of the fresh food compartment.

1. Remove blue bypass cap and retain for later use.

2. Remove sealing label from end of filter and insert into filter head.

3. Rotate gently clockwise until filter stops. Snap filter cover closed.

4. Reduce water spurts by flushing air from system.

Run water continuously for two minutes through dispenser until water runs steady. During initial use of water dispenser, allow up to one minute delay while water tank fills before water dispenses.

• Additional flushing may be required in some households where water is of poor quality.

Replacing Water Filter

IMPORTANT: Air trapped in system may cause water and cartridge to eject. Use caution when removing.

1. Turn filter counterclockwise until it releases from filter head.

2. Drain water from filter into sink, and dispose in normal household trash.

3. Wipe up excess water in filter cover and continue with Initial Installation, steps 2 and 4.

The filter should be changed at least every 12 months.

IMPORTANT: Condition of water and amount used determines life span of water filter cartridge. If water use is high, or if water is of poor quality, replacement may need to take place more often.

To purchase a replacement water filter cartridge, contact your dealer.

The dispenser feature may be used without a water filter cartridge. If you choose this option, replace filter with blue bypass cap.

Food Storage Tips

Fresh Food Storage

• The fresh food compartment of a refrigerator should be kept between 1°- 4° C with an optimum temperature of 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 4° C adjust the controls as explained on pages 7-9.

• Avoid overcrowding the refrigerator shelves. This reduces the circulation of air around the food and results in uneven cooling.

Fruits and Vegetables

• Storage in the crisper drawers traps humidity to help preserve the fruit and vegetable quality for longer time periods (see page 12).

• Sort fruits and vegetables before storage and use bruised or soft items first. Discard those showing signs of decay.

• Always wrap odorous foods such as onions and cabbage so the odor does not transfer to other foods.

• While vegetables need a certain amount of humidity to remain fresh, too much humidity can shorten storage times (especially leafy vegetables). Drain vegetables well before storing.

• Wait to wash fresh produce until right before use.

Meat and Cheese

• Raw meat and poultry should be wrapped securely so leakage and contamination of other foods or surfaces does not occur.

• Occasionally mold will develop on the surface of hard cheeses (Swiss, Cheddar, Parmesan). Cut off at least an inch around and below the moldy area. Keep your knife or instrument out of the mold itself. Do not try to save individual cheese slices, soft cheese, cottage cheese, cream, sour cream or yogurt when mold appears.

Dairy Food

• Most dairy foods such as milk, yogurt, sour cream and cottage cheese have freshness dates on their cartons for appropriate length of storage. Store these foods in the original carton and refrigerate immediately after purchasing and after each use.

Frozen Food Storage

• The freezer compartment of a refrigerator should be kept at approximately -18° C. To check the temperature, place an appliance thermometer between the frozen packages and check after 24 hours. If the temperature is above -18° C, adjust the control as described on pages 7-9.

• A freezer operates more efficiently when it is at least two-thirds full.

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).

• Overwrap fresh meats and poultry with suitable freezer wrap prior to freezing.

• Do not refreeze meat that has completely thawed.

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.

Removing Odors From

Refrigerator

WARNING

To avoid electrical shock which can cause severe personal injury or death, disconnect power to refrigerator before cleaning. After cleaning, reconnect power.

1. Remove all food and turn the refrigerator OFF.

2. Disconnect power to the refrigerator.

3. Clean the walls, floor, ceiling of cabinet interior, drawers, shelves and gaskets according to the instructions.

4. 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.

5. Wash and dry all bottles, containers and jars.

Discard spoiled or expired items.

6. Wrap or store odor-causing foods in tightly sealed containers to prevent reoccurring odors.

7. Reconnect power to refrigerator and return food to refrigerator.

8. Allow the refrigerator to cool.

9. After 24 hours, check if odor has been eliminated.

If odor is still present:

1. Remove drawers and place on top shelf of refrigerator.

2. Pack refrigerator and freezer sections – including doors – with crumpled sheets of black and white newspaper.

3. Place charcoal briquettes randomly on crumpled newspaper in both freezer and refrigerator compartments.

4. Close doors and let stand 24 to 48 hours.

Energy Saving Tips

• 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.

• 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.

• Be sure your doors are closing securely by leveling refrigerator as instructed in your installation instructions.

• Clean condenser coils as indicated in the cleaning instructions every three months. This will increase energy efficiency and cooling performance.

Operating Sounds

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 units run quieter, sounds may be detected that were present in older units, 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.

SOUND

Clicking

SOLUTION

• Normal operation

Air rushing or whirring

Gurgling or boiling sound

Thumping

Vibrating noise
