Appliance Setup

This Use & Care Guide provides specific
operating instructions for your model.
Use the unit only as instructed in this
Use & Care Guide. Before starting the
appliance, follow these important
setup steps.
Installation
• Choose a place that is near a grounded
electrical outlet. Do Not use an
extension cord or an adapter plug.
• For the most efficient operation, the
appliance should be located where
surrounding temperatures will not
exceed 110°F (43°C). Temperatures
of 32°F (0°C) and below will NOT
affect appliance operation. Additional
compressor heaters are not
recommended.
• Allow space around the unit for good
air circulation. Leave a 1-inch (25.4
mm) space at the back and on top and a
3/8-inch (9.5 mm) space on the sides of
the appliance for adequate circulation.
Leveling
The appliance must have all bottom
corners resting firmly on a solid floor that
is strong enough to support a fully loaded
appliance.
It is Very Important for the appliance
to be level in order to function properly.
If not level, the door may be misaligned
and not close or seal properly, causing
cooling, frost, or moisture problems.
The appliance is equipped with
adjustable front leveling feet. Turn the
foot clockwise to heighten (H) the side of
the unit. Turn counterclockwise to lower
(L) the side. Adjust each side as needed
until front of unit is level. Also adjust so
so that door stays closed.
Cleaning
• Wash any removable parts, the
appliance interior, and exterior with
mild detergent and warm water. Wipe
dry.
Do not use harsh cleaners on these
surfaces.
• Do not use razor blades or other
sharp instruments, which can scratch
the ap-pliance surface when removing
adhesive labels. Any glue left from the
tape can be removed with a mixture
of warm water and mild detergent,
or touch the residue with the sticky
side of tape already removed. Do not
remove the serial plate.
Energy Saving Ideas
for Freezer Mode
• The freezer should be
located in the coolest area
of the room, away from
heat producing appliances
or heating ducts, and out
of direct sunlight.
• Let hot foods cool to room
temperature before placing in freezer.
Overloading the freezer forces the
compressor to run longer. Foods that
freeze too slowly may lose quality or
spoil.
• Be sure to wrap foods properly, and
wipe containers dry before placing
them in the freezer. This cuts down on
frost build-up inside the freezer.
• Do not line freezer shelves and bins
with aluminum foil, wax paper, or
paper toweling. Liners interfere with
cold air circulation, reducing freezer
efficiency.
• Organize and label food to reduce
lid openings and avoid extended
searches.
• Remove as many items as needed at
one time, and close door as soon as
possible.
