WARNING

DANGER

CAUTION

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

To reduce the risk of fire, explosion, electric shock, or injury when using your

refrigerator follow these basic safety precautions:

WARNING

 Do not clean glass shelves or covers with warm water when

they are cold. Glass shelves and covers may break if exposed

to sudden temperature changes or impact, such as bumping

or dropping. Tempered glass is designed to shatter into many

small pieces if it breaks.

 Keep fingers out of the “pinch point” areas; clearances

between the doors and between the doors and cabinet are

necessarily small. Be careful closing doors when children are in

the area.

 Always clean the Cu st o mCoo l

™

Tray after thawing food.

 Do not touch the cold surfaces in the freezer compartment

when hands are damp or wet, skin may stick to these

extremely cold surfaces.

 Do not refreeze frozen foods which have thawed completely.

 In refrigerators with automatic icemakers, avoid contact with

the moving parts of the ejector mechanism, or with the heating

element that releases the cubes. Do not place fingers or hands

on the automatic ice making mechanism while the refrigerator

is plugged in.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

To reduce the risk of injury when using your refrigerator, follow these basic

safety precautions.

 This refrigerator must be properly installed and located in

accordance with the Installation Instructions before it is used.

 Unplug the refrigerator before making repairs, replacing a light

bulb, or cleaning.

Note: Power to the refrigerator cannot be disconnected by any

setting on the control panel.

Note: Re p a ir s m u s t b e p er f or m ed b y a q u a l i f i ed se r vi c e

professional.

 Replace all parts and panels before operating.

 Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and

liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

 Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions,

we strongly recommend against the use of an extension cord.

However, if you must use an extension cord, it is absolutely

necessary that it be a UL-listed (in the United States) or a

CSA c e rt i f i e d (i n Ca n a d a ), 3 - wi r e g r o un d i n g t y p e ap p l i a n c e

extension cord having a grounding type plug and outlet and

that the electrical rating of the cord be 15 amperes (minimum)

and 120 volts.

 To prevent suffocation and entrapment hazards to children,

remove the fresh food and freezer doors from any refrigerator

before disposing of it or discontinuing its use.

 Do not allow children to climb, stand or hang on the door

handles or the shelves in the refrigerator. They could seriously

injure themselves.

CAUTION

WARNING

Explosion Hazard.

Keep flammable mat erials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from refrigerator. Failure to do so can

result in fire, explosion, or death.

INSTALLATION

Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove t he third (ground) prong from the power cord.

For per so nal sa f et y , t h i s appl i ance m ust be p r oper l y g r ou nded.

3-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a standard

3-prong (grounding) wall outlet to minimize the

possibility of electric shock hazard from this appliance.

Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified

electrician to make sure the outlet is properly

grounded.

Where a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered,

it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have

it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall

outlet. Do not use an adapter.

Th e r ef r i g e r a t o r s h o u l d a l w a y s b e p l u g g ed in t o i t s o w n

individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating

that matches the rating plate.

A 115 Volt AC, 60 Hz, 15- or 20- amp f used, grounded

electrical supply is required. This provides the best

performance and also prevents overloading house

wiring circuits which could cause a fire hazard from

overheated wires.

Never unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the power

cord. Always grip plug firmly and pull straight out from

the outlet.

Rep a i r o r r e p l a ce i m m e d ia t el y a l l p o w e r c o r d s t h a t

have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not

use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage

along its length or at either end.

When moving the refrigerator away from the wall, be

careful not to roll over or damage the power cord.

About TurboCool.

How it Works

TurboCool

rapidly cools the refrigerator

compartment in order to more quickly

cool foods. Use Tur boCool

™

when adding

a large amount of food to the refrigerator

compartment, putting away foods after they

have been sitting out at room temperature or

when putting away warm leftovers. It can also

be used if the refrigerator has been without

power for an extended period.

Once act i vat ed, t he co mp r essor w ill t u rn

on immediately and the fans will cycle on

and off at high speed as needed for eight

hours. The compressor will continue to run

until the refrigerator compartment cools to

approximately 34°F (1°C), then it will cycle on

and off to maintain this setting. After 8 hours, or

if Tur boCool

is pressed again, the refrigerator

compartment will return to the original setting.

Th i s e n su r e s t ha t t h e h u m id i t y l e v el s i n t h e

fresh food compartment are significantly higher

than in a conventional system,** allowing fresh

produce and other unsealed foods to retain

their moisture content and freshness longer.

Moisture sensitive foods such as fresh fruit,

salads, rice, etc., can now be stored on open

shelves without excessive moisture loss.

Due to t he higher humidity in the refrigerator,

you may on occasion experience fog or

small amounts of moisture in the refrigerator

compartment. This is normal and may

come and go as different food loads and

environmental conditions change. Wipe dry

with a paper towel if desired.

Th e s ep a r a t e a i r f l o w s yst em m i n i mi ze s t h e

mixing of air between the two compartments,

which reduces fresh food odor transfer to

improve the taste of ice.

Th e Cl i m a t eKeep er 2

system also reduces

the number of defrosting cycles in the freezer

evaporator, thereby reducing freezer burn.

* Freezer air is used in the Cu st o m Cool feature.

Important Facts About Your Dispenser



Do not add ice from trays or bags to

the storage drawer. It may not crush or

dispense well.



Avoid overfilling glass wit h ice and use of

narrow glasses. Backed-up ice can jam

the chute or cause the door in the chute

to freeze shut. If ice is blocking the chute,

poke it through with a wooden spoon.



Beverages and foods should not be

quick-chilled in the ice storage drawer.

Ca n s, b ot t l es o r f o od pa cka g es i n t h e

storage drawer may cause the ice maker

or auger to jam.



To keep disp en sed i ce f r om m issi n g t h e

glass, put the glass close to, but not

touching, the dispenser opening.



So m e c r u s h e d i c e m a y b e d i s p e n se d

even though you selected CUBED. This

happens occasionally when a few cubes

accidentally get directed to the crusher.



After crushed ice is dispensed, some

water may drip from the chute.

Cleaning the Outside

The di spenser dr i p a r ea, beneath the grille,

weaken the paint finish.

Cleaning the Inside
