Owner's Manual

INSTALLATION
LOCATION If possible, place your model out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources suchas a radiator, oven, or range, Your model should not be installed where the temperature will go below 55°F. because it will not run frequently enough to maintain proper temperatures in the freezer, For ease of installation, you should leave a space of about one-half inch between your refrigerator and adjacent walls or cabinets, tf a wall prevents either door from opening at least 90 °, move the cabinet sideways an inch or so to permit a 900 opening so baskets and crispers can be easily removed. LEVELING IS IMPORTANT A refrigerator will not operate properly unless it is _evel and rests firmly on all four comers. Your model has four wheels and a leveling screw beneath each front corner at the base of the cabinet that can be turne/:lin or out as required, If the floor is not level and it is necessary to raise the rear of the cabinet, we suggest rollihg the rear wheels on to a piece of plywood or other shim material. Be sure that the two front levelers touch the floor to lock the cabinet in place.

SURFACES

At times, the front surfaces of your refrigerator cabinet may be warm to the touch. This is a normal function of your refrigerator. This feature prevents moisture from condensing on the outside of your refrigerator during humid weather. This condition may be noticeable when you first start your refrigerator, during hot weather, and excessive or lengthy door openings.

FEATURES The fresh food compartment is cooled by a gentle stream of circulating chilledair. To maintain the natural flavor, moisture and nutrition of fresh foods, we recommend that you cover open food containers. Dishes or trays containing left-overs should also be covered to seal in flavors. Storing tight store wrappings or in their original air foods in plastic bags reduces the evaporalion of moisture from them and lengthens storage time. SHELVES THE FREEZERSHELF can be removed by (1) lifting the quick-freeze compartment straight up until the left end bars of the freezer shelf are out of the sockets in the side wall of the quick-freeze compartment. (2) Lift the freezer shelf slightly and (3) pull to the left until right end bars are out of the sockets in the right freezer well. Reverse the removal procedure to replace the freezer shelf.
