CONGRATULATIONS! You are now the proud
owner of a superb, beautiful and durable addition to
your kitchen. The following information will help you
get the most pleasure from your purchase.
Using your refrigerator...
Cool flowing air keeps your refrigerated foods fresh.
Large containers placed close together may restrict the
flow of air. Space food so cool air can flow around it.
To retain maximum moisture and flavor, cover con-
tainers or seal food in moisture proof wrap. Odor-
ous foods which might affect others should always be
covered.
Meat, fish and poultry can be stored safely in the re-
frigerator section for a few days, but as a general rule,
the freezer should be utilized for longer storage.
Vegetables and fruits should be washed, dried and
stored in the slide-out crisper. They will last longer in
closed plastic containers or wrapped in plastic film.
Cover left-overs and use within a couple of days.
Shelves adjust to many positions, allowing versatile
storage and maximum use of space. The adjustable
door shelves hold abundant storage, even tall bottles.
Firmly lock shelves in place before use.
NOTE: Do NOT block air coming into the refrigerator
section. Food or liquids can freeze if placed too close
to inlet air.
All refrigerator crispers, and also the freezer basket
supplied on the side-by-side models, are designed to
be at the very BOTTOM of their compartments.
Using your freezer...
Meats, fish and poultry pre-packed in plastic (self-ser-
vice) wrap can be stored in the freezer for a couple of
weeks. For longer freezer storage, wrap food in foil or
other vapor-proof, moisture-proof freezer wrap. Fro-
zen food containers should be sealed tightly. If food is
wrapped in "Butcher Paper", remove and rewrap.
For more even temperature, space food so as not to
restrict air flow, especially at rear.
Light frost may form on shelves when freezer door is
open. After the door is closed, the air stream grad-

ually removes the frost.
Varying amounts of frost will form occasionally in the
freezer compartment, especially in areas near the top
air return. This is normal adjunct of the moist cold air
circulating in the refrigerator section to help food stay
fresh longer.
If your freezer has an icemaker...
First buckets may contain contamination from new
installation. Throw away the first two harvests or until
the ice is free of discoloration and taste.
The icemaker makes ice once the freezer is cold. It
will turn off automatically when the ice bucket is full,
provided the bucket is properly positioned.
Lift the Stop Arm up out of the way when removing
and replacing the container.
CAUTION
Never place fingers, foreign objects or food packages
near the Ejector Blade.

Typical cycle of icemaker:
1.
The icemaker fills with water.
2.
When the water freezes, the motor rotates Ejec-
tor Blade against the ice. The blade stops when it
touches the ice.
3.
The heater releases the ice from the form.
4.
The motor starts again. The blade moves ice from
the form into the bucket. The Ejector Blade makes
two (2) revolutions and then the icemaker fills with
water again.
