PROPER DISPOSAL OF YOUR OLD REFRIGERATOR

Suffocation Hazard
Remove doors from your old refrigerator. Failure to do so can result in death or brain damage

Before You Throw Away Your Old Refrigerator or Freezer:

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

Important information to know about the disposal of refrigerants
Dispose of the refrigerator in accordance with Federal and Local regulations. Refrigerants must be evacuated by a licensed, EPA-certified refrigerant technician in accordance with established procedures.

OPERATING YOUR REFRIGERATOR

Using the Controls
For your convenience, your refrigerator controls are preset at the factory. When you first install your refrigerator, make sure that the controls are still preset. The Refrigerator Control and the Freezer Control should both be set to the “mid-settings.”

IMPORTANT
Your product will not cool when the REFRIGERATOR Control is set to OFF.

• The Refrigerator Control adjusts the refrigerator compartment temperature. The Freezer Control adjusts the freezer compartment temperature. Settings to the left of the mid-setting make the temperature less cold. Settings to the right of the mid-setting make the temperature colder.
• Wait 24 hours before you put food into the refrigerator. If you add food before the refrigerator has cooled completely, your food may spoil.
  NOTE : Adjusting the Refrigerator and Freezer Controls to a higher (colder) than recommended setting will not cool the compartments any faster.

Adjusting Controls
Give the refrigerator time to cool down completely before adding food. It is best to wait 24 hours before you put food into the refrigerator. The 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.

• Turn the control right (clockwise) to make the compartment colder.
• Turn the control left (counterclockwise) to make it less cold.
• To turn the cooling system off, turn the Refrigerator Control counterclockwise until it reaches the OFF position.

If you need to adjust temperatures in the refrigerator or freezer, use the settings listed in the chart below as a guide. Wait at least 24 hours between adjustments
