This is the safety alert symbol. It alerts you to safety messages that inform you of hazards that can kill or hurt you or others, or cause damage to the product.

All safety messages will be preceded by the safety alert symbol and the hazard signal word DANGER, WARNING, CAUTION. These words mean:

DANGER

You will be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow instructions.

WARNING

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow instructions.

CAUTION

Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury, or product damage only.

All safety messages will identify the hazard, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

WARNING

Do not store explosive substances such as aerosol cans with a flammable propellant in this appliance. This appliance is intended to be used in household and similar applications such as staff kitchen areas in shops, offices and other working environments; farm houses and by clients in hotels, motels and other residential type environments; bed and breakfast type environments; catering and similar non-retail applications.

DANGER: RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT

Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators are still dangerous...even if they will sit for just a few days. If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator, please follow the instructions at right to help prevent accidents.

• Take off the doors.
- Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.

CFC DISPOSAL

Your old refrigerator may have a cooling system that used CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons). CFCs are believed to harm stratospheric ozone.

If you are throwing away your old refrigerator, make sure the CFC refrigerant is removed for proper disposal by a qualified servicer. If you intentionally release this CFC refrigerant, you can be subject to fines and imprisonment under provisions of environmental legislation.

IMPORTANT: Please read carefully. TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, this appliance must be properly grounded. Have the wall outlet and the circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded.

RECOMMENDED GROUNDING METHOD

The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own individual properly grounded electrical outlet rated for 230 Volts, 50 Hz, AC only, and fused at 15 amperes.

This provides the best performance and also prevents overloading house wiring circuits which could cause a fire hazard from overheated wires. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only this appliance be provided.

Use a receptacle which cannot be turned off with a switch or pull chain. Do not use an extension cord. Where a standard two-prong wall outlet is encountered, it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded three-prong wall outlet.

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

NOTE: Before performing any type of installation, cleaning, or removing a light bulb, turn the control (Thermostat, Refrigerator Control or Freezer Control, depending on the model) to OFF and then disconnect the refrigerator from the electrical source. When you are finished, reconnect the refrigerator to the electrical source and reset the control (Thermostat, Refrigerator Control or Freezer Control, depending on the model) to the desired setting.

Supply Cord Replacement

If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.

WARNING

• Repair or replace immediately all electric service cords that have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either the plug or connector end.
• When moving your refrigerator away from the wall, be careful not to roll over or damage the power cord.
• Keep fingers out of pinch point areas; clearances between the doors and cabinet are necessarily small. Be careful closing doors when children are in the area.
• This refrigerator must be properly installed in accordance with the Attention Installer Instructions that were taped to the front of the refrigerator.
• Don't touch the lamp, in case of light on the long time, Because it can be very hot.

- DO NOT refreeze frozen foods which have thawed completely. The United States Department of Agriculture in Home and Garden Bulletin No. 69 says:

...You may safely refreeze frozen foods that have thawed if they still contain ice crystals or if they are still cold—below 4^ C.

…Thawed ground meats, poultry or fish that have any off-odor or off-color should not be refrozen and should not be eaten. Thawed ice cream should be discarded. If the odor or color of any food is poor or questionable, get rid of it. The food may be dangerous to eat.

Even partial thawing and refreezing reduces the eating quality of foods, particularly fruits, vegetables and prepared foods. The eating quality of red meats is affected less than that of many other foods. Use refrozen foods as soon as possible to save as much of their quality as you can.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Don't use an extension cord

If possible, connect the refrigerator to its own individual electrical outlet to prevent it and other appliances or household lights from causing an overload that could cause a power outage.

Accessibility of Supply Plug

The refrigerator-freezer should be so positioned that the supply plug is accessible for quick disconnection when accident happens.

Supply Cord Replacement

If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.

1. Open both doors again and check to make sure that they close easily. If not, tilt the refrigerator slightly more to the rear by turning both leveling screws clockwise. It may take several more turns, and you should turn both leveling screws the same amount.

2. Re-adjust if necessary.

3. Replace the base cover.

NOTE: Your new refrigerator is uniquely designed with two fresh food doors. Either door can be opened or closed independently of one another. You may have to exert slight pressure on doors to get them to close completely.

Door Alignment

Technical line drawing of a mechanical device with a magnified inset showing a close-up of the component (no text or symbols)

Both the left and right refrigerator doors have an adjustable nut, located on the bottom hinge, to raise and lower them to align properly. If the space between your doors is uneven, follow the instructions below to align the doors evenly:

Use the wrench (included with the Owner's Manual) to turn the nut in the door hinge to adjust the height. To the right to raise or to the left to lower the height.

USING YOUR REFRIGERATOR

ENSURING PROPER AIR CIRCULATION

In order to ensure proper temperatures, air must flow between the refrigerator and freezer sections. As shown in the illustration below, air enters at top of freezer and circulates down. From bottom of freezer, air is forced up to top of refrigerator. Air enters refrigerator through top vent, then circulates and exists at bottom, where it returns to freezer.

MULTI-FLOW

• Multi-Flow means powerful and effective cooling operation. This is especially noticeable when new food is placed in the refrigerator compartment.
• If water or foreign substances enter the cool air vent while cleaning, efficiency will be lowered. In addition, if gasket is damaged, efficiency may be lowered because of escaping cool air.

Line drawing of an open refrigerator with doors open, showing internal compartments and ventilation system (no text or symbols)

Do not block any of cool air vents with food packages. If the vents are blocked, airflow will be interrupted and temperature and moisture problems may occur.

IMPORTANT: Because air circulates between both sections, any odors formed in one section will transfer to the other. You must thoroughly clean both sections to eliminate odors. To prevent odor transfer and drying out of food, wrap or cover foods tightly. (See the Food Storage Guide section for details.)

SETTING THE CONTROLS

• Your refrigerator has two controls that let you regulate the temperature in the freezer and refrigerator compartments.
• Initially set the FRIDGE CONTROL at 3^ and the FREEZER CONTROL at -18^ . Leave it at this setting for 24 hours (one day) to

stabilize. Then adjust the compartment temperature as desired.

- Freezer control: -21^ to -13^

When the setting is at a lower number, the freezer compartment becomes colder. But the refrigerator compartment becomes warmer because less cold air flows into the refrigerator.

Linear Compressor | Freezer | -18°C °F

- Fridge control: 1^ to 8^

The lower the number setting, the colder the refrigerator compartment will become.

- Express Freeze:

Press the Express Freeze key and the LED will turn on. This function will remain activated for 24 hours and intensify the cooling speed of freezer and increase the amount of ice.

Door Alarm

With this feature you will hear an alarm when the freezer or refrigerator door is open for more than 1 minute.

These tones will repeat every 30 seconds.

The alarm is cancelled when the door is properly shut. To activate or deactivate Door Alarm, press the button Door Alarm.

CAUTION

Display Mode (For Store Use Only)

The Display Mode disables all cooling in the refrigerator and freezer sections to conserve energy while on display in a retail store. When activated, OFF will display on the control panel.

To deactivate:

Open the Right hand Refrigerator door, then while holding down the Fridge button continuously, touch the Express Freeze button 3 times. The control panel will be and the temperature settings will change to confirm that the Display Mode is deactivated. Use the same procedure to activate the Display Mode.

Shabbath mode is the function designated for use of the refrigerator during Shabbath.

• To set the Shabbath mode on, press the Shabbath button for 3 seconds. Then, initially SB SB shows in the display as well as lamp and alarm turn off.
• Shabbath mode will automatically turned off after 96 hours.
• To set the Shabbath mode off manually, press the Shabbath button for 3 seconds.
• Shabbath mode maintains even when the electricity recovered from black-out.

NOTE: Turn off the ICE Maker before setting the Shabbath mode on.

USING YOUR REFRIGERATOR

ADJUSTING CONTROL SETTINGS

Give the refrigerator time to cool down completely before making final adjustments. It is best to wait 24 hours before doing this. The mid-settings indicated in the previous section should be correct for normal household refrigerator usage. The controls are set correctly when milk or juice is as cold as you like and when ice cream is firm. The refrigerator control functions as the thermostat for the entire appliance (refrigerator and freezer sections). The higher the number setting, the longer the compressor will run to keep the temperature colder. The freezer control adjusts the cold air flow from the freezer to the refrigerator. Setting the freezer control to a lower temperature keeps more cold air in the Freezer compartment to make it colder.

If you need to adjust temperatures in the refrigerator or freezer, start by adjusting the refrigerator. Then wait 24 hours before checking the freezer temperature. If it is too warm or too cold, then adjust the freezer control.

Use the settings listed in the chart below as a guide. Always remember to wait at least 24 hours between adjustments.

CONDITION/REASON:	RECOMMENDED ADJUSTMENT:
■REFRIGERATOR section too warm– Door opened often– Large amount of food added– Room temperature very warm	SetREFRIGERATOR control to next lower number, wait 24 hours, then re-check
■FREEZER section too warm/ice not made fast enough– Door opened often– Large amount of food added– Very cold room temperature (can’t cycle often enough)– Heavy ice usage– Air vents blocked by items	Set FREEZER control to next lower number, wait 24 hours, then re-checkMove items out of airstream

FOOD STORAGE GUIDE

Wrap or store food in the refrigerator in airtight and moisture-proof material unless otherwise noted. This prevents food odor and taste transfer throughout the refrigerator. For dated products, check date code to ensure freshness.

Items	How to
Butter or margarine	▶Keep opened butter in a covered dish or closed compartment. When storing an extra supply, wrap in freezer packaging and freeze.
Cheese	▶Store in the original wrapping until you are ready to use it. Once opened, rewrap tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil.
Milk	▶Wipe milk cartons. For best storage, place milk on interior shelf, not on door shelf.
Eggs	▶Store in original carton or Utility Bin on interior shelf, not on door shelf.
Fruit	▶Wash, let dry, and store in refrigerator in plastic bags or in the crisper. Do not wash or hull berries until you are ready to use them. Sort and keep berries in their original container in a crisper, or store in a sloosely closed paper bag on a refrigerator shelf.
Leafy vegetables	▶Remove store wrapping and trim or tear off bruised and discolored areas. Wash in cold water and drain. Place in plastic bag or plastic container and store in crisper.
Vegetables with skins (carrots, peppers)	▶Place in plastic bags or plastic container and store in crisper.
Fish	▶Use fresh fish and shellfish the same day purchased.
Leftovers	▶Cover leftovers with plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Plastic containers with tight lids can also be used.

USING YOUR REFRIGERATOR

STORING FROZEN FOOD

NOTE: For further information about preparing food for freezing or food storage times, check a freezer guide or a reliable cookbook.

Packaging

Successful freezing depends on correct packaging. When you close and seal the package, it must not allow air or moisture in or out. If it does, you could have food odor and taste transfer throughout the refrigerator and also dry out frozen food.

Packaging recommendations:

• Rigid plastic containers with tight-fitting lids
• Straight-sided canning/freezing jars
  • Heavy-duty aluminum foil
• Plastic-coated paper
  • Non-permeable plastic wraps
• Specified freezer-grade self-sealing plastic bags

Follow package or container instructions for proper freezing methods.

Do not use

• Bread wrappers
  • Non-polyethylene plastic containers
• Containers without tight lids
• Wax paper or wax-coated freezer wrap
• Thin, semi-permeable wrap

▲CAUTION : Do not keep beverage cans or plastic food containers in the freezer compartment. They may be break if they freezer.

Freezing

Your freezer will not quick-freeze any large quantity of food. Do not put more unfrozen food into the freezer than will freeze within 24 hours (no more than 2 to 3 lbs of food per cubic foot of freezer space). Leave enough space in the freezer for air to circulate around packages. Be careful to leave enough room at the front so the door can close tightly.

Storage times will vary according to the quality and type of food, the type of packaging or wrap used (airtight and moisture-proof) and the storage temperature. Ice crystals inside a sealed package are normal. This simply means that moisture in the food and air inside the package have condensed, creating ice crystals.

NOTE: Allow hot foods to cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, then package and freeze. Cooling hot foods before freezing saves energy.

USING YOUR REFRIGERATOR

REFRIGERATOR SECTION

REFRIGERATOR SHELVES

The shelves in your refrigerator are adjustable to meet your individual storage needs. Your model may have glass or wire shelves.

Storing similar food items together in your refrigerator and adjusting the shelves to fit different heights of items will make finding the exact item you want easier; it will also reduce the amount of time the refrigerator door is open, saving energy.

IMPORTANT: Do not clean glass shelves with warm water when they are cold. Shelves may break if exposed to sudden temperature changes or impact, such as bumping. For your protection, glass shelves are made with tempered glass, which will shatter into small pebble-sized pieces.

NOTE: Glass shelves are heavy. Use special care when removing them to avoid dropping them.

Adjusting Shelves

Remove shelves from the shipping position and replace shelves in the position you want.

- To remove a shelf—Tilt up the front of the shelf in the direction of (1) and lift it in the direction of (2). Pull the shelf out.

WARNING

Explosion Hazard

Use non-flammable cleaner.

Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

Both the refrigerator and freezer sections defrost automatically. However, clean both sections about once a month to prevent odors. Wipe up spills immediately.

GENERAL CLEANING TIPS

• Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
• Remove all removable parts, such as shelves, crispers, etc. Refer to sections in Using Your Refrigerator for removal instructions.
• Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water. Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners.
• Hand wash, rinse and dry all surfaces thoroughly.
• Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.

OUTSIDE

Waxing external painted metal surfaces helps provide rust protection. Do not wax plastic parts. Wax painted metal surfaces at least twice a year using appliance wax (or auto paste wax). Apply wax with a clean, soft cloth.

For products with a stainless steel exterior, use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water. Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.

INSIDE WALLS (allow freezer to warm up so cloth won't stick)

To help remove odors, you can wash the inside of the refrigerator with a mixture of baking soda and warm water. Mix 2 tablespoons baking soda to 1 quart of water (26 g soda to 1 liter water.) Be sure the baking soda is completely dissolved so does it not scratch the surfaces of the refrigerator.

▲ CAUTION: While cleaning the inside, do not spray water.

Do not use cleaning waxes, concentrated detergents, bleaches, or cleaners containing petroleum on plastic refrigerator parts.

PLASTIC PARTS (covers and panels)

Do not use window sprays, abrasive cleansers, or flammable fluids. These can scratch or damage the material.

CONDENSER COILS

Remove Back cover.

Use a vacuum cleaner with an extended attachment to clean condenser coils. Vacuum coils when dusty or dirty. Coils may need to be cleaned as often as every other month.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

UNDERSTANDING SOUNDS YOU MAY HEAR

Your new refrigerator may make sounds that your old one didn't make. Because the sounds are new to you, you might be concerned about them. Most of the new sounds are normal. Hard surfaces, like the floor, walls and cabinets, can make the sounds seem louder than they actually are. The following describes the kinds of sounds and what may be making them.

Diagram of airflow or heat transfer through a mechanical or electrical component with directional arrows indicating flow direction (no text or labels)

• The defrost timer will click when the automatic defrost cycle begins and ends. The thermostat control (or refrigerator control, depending on the model) will also click when cycling on and off.
• Rattling noises may come from the flow of refrigerant, the water line, or items stored on top of the refrigerator.
• Your refrigerator is designed to run more efficiently to keep your food items at the desired temperature. The high efficiency compressor may cause your new refrigerator to run longer than your old one, and you may hear a pulsating or high-pitched sound.
• You may hear the evaporator fan motor circulating the air through the refrigerator and freezer compartments.
• As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to the refrigerant flowing in your refrigerator.
• Contraction and expansion of the inside walls may cause a popping noise.
  • Water dripping on the defrost heater during a defrost cycle may cause a sizzling sound.
• You may hear air being forced over the condenser by the condenser fan.
• You may hear water running into the drain pan during the defrost cycle.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

	Check if...	Then...
COMPRESSOR MOTOR SEEMS TO RUN TOO MUCH	The refrigerator that was replaced was an older model.The room temperature is hotter than normal.The door is opened often or a large amount of food has just been added.The refrigerator was recently plugged in and the refrigerator control was set correctly.The refrigerator control is not set correctly for the surrounding conditions.The doors are not closed completely.The condenser coils are dirty.	► Modern refrigerators with more storage space require more operating time.► The motor will run longer under warm conditions. At normal room temperatures, expect your motor to run about 40% to 80% of the time. Under warmer conditions, expect it to run even more often.► Adding food and opening the door warms the refrigerator. It is normal for the refrigerator to run longer in order to cool the refrigerator back down. Adding a large amount of food warms the refrigerator. See the Food Storage Guide section on page 21. In order to conserve energy, try to get everything you need out of the refrigerator at once, keep food organized so it is easy to find and close the door as soon as the food is removed.► The refrigerator will take up to 24 hours to cool completely.► See the Adjusting Control Settings section on page 21.► Push the doors firmly shut. If they will not shut all the way, see Doors will not close completely below.► This prevents air transfer and makes the motor work harder.Clean the condenser coils. Refer to the Care and Cleaning section on pages 27-28.
DOORS WILL NOT CLOSE COMPLETELY	The refrigerator is not level.Food packages are blocking the door open.The ice bin, crisper cover, pans, shelves, door bins or baskets are out of position.The gaskets are sticking.The refrigerator wobbles or seems unstable.The doors were removed during product installation and not properly replaced.	► See Leveling and Door Alignment on page 19.► Rearrange food containers to clear door and door shelves.► Push bins all the way in and put crisper cover, pans, shelves and baskets into their correct positions. See the Using Your Refrigerator section on pages 20-26.► Clean gaskets and the surface that they touch. Rub a thin coat of paraffin wax on the gaskets after cleaning.► Level the refrigerator. Refer to the Leveling and Door Alignment section on page 19.► Remove and replace the doors according to the Removing and Replacing Refrigerator handles and doors section on pages 13-18 , or call a qualified service technician.
FROST OR ICE CRYSTALS ON FROZEN FOOD	The door is not closing properly.The door is opened often.	► See Doors will not close completely above.► When the door is opened, warm, humid air is allowed in the freezer, resulting in frost.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

	Check if...	Then...
ICE HAS OFF-TASTE OR ODOR	The icemaker was recently installed.	▸ Discard first few batches of ice to avoid discolored or off-flavored ice.
	The ice has been stored for too long.	▸ Throw away old ice and make new supply.
	The food has not been wrapped tightly in either compartment.	▸ Rewrap foods since odors may migrate to the ice if food is not wrapped properly.
	The water supply contains minerals such as sulfur.	▸ A filter may need to be installed (or replaced) to eliminate taste and odor problems.
	The interior of refrigerator needs cleaning.	▸ See Care and Cleaning section on pages 27.
	Ice storage bin needs cleaning.	▸ Empty and wash bin. Discard old cubes.
THERE IS WATER IN THE DEFROST DRAIN PAN	The refrigerator is defrosting.	▸ The water will evaporate. It is normal for water to drip into the defrost pan.
	It is more humid than normal.	▸ Expect that the water in the defrost pan will take longer to evaporate. This is normal when it is hot or humid.
THE REFRIGERATOR SEEMS TO MAKE TOO MUCH NOISE	The sounds may be normal for your refrigerator.	▸ Refer to the Understanding Sounds You May Hear section on page 33.
THE ICEMAKER IS NOT PRODUCING ICE OR ICE CUBES ARE FREEZING TOO SLOWLY	The freezer temperature is cold enough to produce ice.	▸ Wait 24 hours after hook-up for ice production. See the Setting the Controls section on page 20.
	Door left open.	▸ Check to see if something is holding the door open.
CUBES PRODUCED BY ICEMAKER ARE TOO SMALL	Smaller cube size level is selected.	▸ Select larger cube size using cube size selector.
	Water shutoff valve connecting refrigerator to water line may be clogged.	▸ Call a plumber to clear the valve.
THE DOORS ARE DIFFICULT TO OPEN	The gaskets are dirty or sticky.	▸ Clean gaskets and the surfaces that they touch. Rub a thin coat of appliance polish or kitchen wax on the gaskets after cleaning.
	The door is reopened within a short time after having been opened.	▸ When you open the door, warmer air enters the refrigerator. As the warm air cools, it can create a vacuum. If the door is hard to open, wait 5 minutes to allow the air pressure to equalize, then see if it opens more easily.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

	Check if...	Then...
TEMPERATURE IS TOO WARM OR THERE IS INTERIOR MOISTURE BUILDUP	The air vents are blocked. Cold air circulates from the freezer to the fresh food section and back again through air vents in the wall dividing the two sections.The doors are opened often.	► Locate air vents by using your hand to sense airflow and move all packages that block vents and restrict airflow.Refer to Multi-Flow on page 20 for the location of air vents.► When the door is opened, warm humid air is allowed into the refrigerator. The more the door is opened, the faster the humidity builds up, and the more warm air the refrigerator must cool. In order to keep the refrigerator cool, try to get everything you need out of the refrigerator at once, keep food organized so it is easy to find and close the door as soon as the food is removed.
	The control is not set correctly for the surrounding conditions.	► Refer to the Setting the Controls section on page 20.Wait 24 hours for temperatures to stabilize or even out. If the temperature is too cold or too warm, move the dial one number at a time.
	A large amount of food has just been added to the refrigerator or freezer.	► Adding food warms the refrigerator. It can take a few hours for the refrigerator to return to normal temperature.
	The food is not packaged correctly.	► Wrap food tightly and wipe off damp containers prior to storing in the refrigerator to avoid moisture accumulation. If necessary, repackage food according to the guidelines in the Food Storage Guide section on page 21
	The doors are not closing completely.	► See Doors will not close completely on page 34.
	The weather is humid.	► In humid weather, air carries moisture into refrigerator when doors are opened.
