Failure to follow these instructions can
result in death, fire, or electrical shock.
Initial Temperature Setting
Temperatures are preset at the factory at 38° F (3° C) in the refrigerator
compartment and 0° F (-18° C) in the freezer compartment.
Adjusting the Control
24 hours after adding food, you may decide that one or both
compartments should be colder or warmer. If so, adjust the control as
indicated in the Temperature Control Guide below.
• The first touch of the UP or DOWN pads shows the current
temperature setting.
• The display will show the new setting for approximately three
seconds, and then return to the actual temperature currently within
that compartment.
DANGER
Risk of Child Entrapment
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.
• Do not change either control more than one degree at a time. Allow
temperature to stabilize for 24 hours before making a new
temperature adjustment.
IMPORTANT: 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.”

WARNING
To avoid personal injury or property damage, observe the following:
To Remove:
• Do not place fingers or hands on the automatic ice making
mechanism while the refrigerator is plugged in. This will help protect
you from possible injury. It will also prevent interference with moving
parts of the ejector mechanism and the heating element that releases
the cubes.
• Under certain rare circumstances, ice cubes may be discolored,
usually appearing with a green-bluish hue. The cause of this unusual
discoloration can be a combination of factors such as certain
characteristics of local waters, household plumbing and the
accumulation of copper salts in an inactive water supply line which
feeds the ice maker. Continued consumption of such discolored ice
cubes may be injurious to health. If such discoloration is observed,
discard the ice cubes and contact your dealer to purchase and install
a water line filter.
•Lift the door bin up until it clears the retainers on
the door liner, then pull the door bin straight out.
To Install:
•Slide bin in above desired door liner retainer and
push down until bin stops.

• Water damage due to improper water connection may cause
mold/mildew growth.
• Clean up water and ice spills to avoid personal injury and to prevent
mold/mildew growth.
Drop-Down Freezer Door Bins
These baskets provide convenient storage
space for frozen food items that tend to
shift, such as bagged vegetables.
Automatic Ice Maker
Connect the ice maker to the water supply as instructed. Proper water
flow and a level refrigerator are essential for optimal ice maker
performance.
To Remove the Ice Bin:
• Pull it forward, away from the ice maker. To avoid the ice maker
dumping ice while the bin is removed, turn the ice maker off by
raising the icemaker arm.

Automatic Ice Maker
Operating Instructions
• Confirm ice bin is in place and ice maker arm is down.
• After freezer section reaches between 0° to 2° F (-18° to -17° C), ice
maker fills with water and begins operating. You will have a complete
harvest of ice approximately every three hours.
• Allow approximately 24 hours after installation to receive first harvest
of ice.
• Discard ice created within first 12 hours of
icemaker operation to assure system is flushed
of impurities.
• Stop ice production by raising ice maker arm
until click is heard.
Dispenser Light
A light activates within the dispenser area at full power when
dispensing ice or water with the main dispenser pad.
• Ice maker will remain in the off position until
arm is pushed down.
• The first one or two batches will probably
contain undersized and irregular cubes
because of air in the supply line.
Dispenser Pad
The Dispenser Pad is located on the back wall of the dispensing area.
When the dispenser pad is pressed, the selection chosen on the
dispenser control panel will dispense.
• When the ice cubes are ejected it is normal for several cubes to be
joined together at the ends. They can easily be broken apart. The ice
maker will continue to make ice until the supply of ice cubes raises
the ice maker arm, shutting the ice maker off.
• Certain sounds may accompany the various cycles of the ice maker.
The motor may have a slight hum, the cubes will rattle as they fall into
an empty storage pan and the water valve may click or “buzz”
occasionally.
Removable Tray
The Removable Tray at the bottom of the dispenser area is designed to
collect small spills and may be easily removed for cleaning and
emptying purposes. IMPORTANT: Removable tray does not drain. Do
not allow tray to overflow. If it does, remove tray and wipe up overflow.
• If the ice is not used frequently, the ice cubes will become cloudy,
shrink, stick together and taste stale. Empty the ice storage bin
periodically and wash it in lukewarm water. Be sure to dry the bin
thoroughly before replacing it.
• Beverages and foods should not be placed in the ice storage bin for
quick chilling. These items can block the ice maker arm, causing the
ice maker to malfunction.
• Turn off (arm up) the ice maker when the water supply is to be shut off
for an extended period of time.

Food Storage Tips
Fresh Food Storage
• The refrigerator should be kept between 34°-40° F (1°-4° C) with an
optimum temperature of 38° F (3.3° C). To check the temperature,
place an appliance thermometer in a glass of water and place in the
center of the refrigerator. Check after 24 hours. If the temperature is
above 40° F (4° C) adjust the control as explained on page 5.
• Avoid overcrowding the refrigerator shelves. This reduces the
circulation of air around the food and results in uneven cooling.

fruit and vegetable quality for longer time periods (see page 11).
• Sort fruits and vegetables before storage and use bruised or soft
items first. Discard those showing signs of decay.
Manufacturer: CUNO, Incorporated, a 3M Company
• Always wrap odorous foods such as onions and cabbage so the odor
does not transfer to other foods.
• While vegetables need a certain amount of humidity to remain fresh,
too much humidity can shorten storage times (especially leafy
vegetables). Drain vegetables well before storing.

Storage times are approximate and may vary depending on type of
packaging, storage temperature, and the quality of the food when
purchased.
Frozen Food Storage
• The freezer compartment of a refrigerator should be kept at
approximately 0° F (-18° C). To check the temperature, place an
appliance thermometer between the frozen packages and check
after 24 hours. If the temperature is above 0° F (-18° C), adjust the
control as described on page 5.

Packaging Foods for Freezing
• To minimize dehydration and quality deterioration use aluminum
foil, freezer wrap, freezer bags or airtight containers. Force as much
air out of the packages as possible and be sure they are tightly
sealed. Trapped air can cause the food to dry out, change color
and develop an off-flavor (freezer burn).

Loading the Freezer
• Avoid adding too much warm food to the freezer at one time. This
overloads the freezer, slows the rate of freezing and can raise the
temperature of frozen foods.
• Leave space between the packages so cold air can circulate freely,
allowing food to freeze as quickly as possible.
• Avoid storing hard-to-freeze foods such as ice cream and orange
juice on the freezer door shelves. These foods are best stored in
the freezer interior where the temperature varies less with door
openings.

Care and Cleaning
Removing Odors From Refrigerator
• Remove all food and turn the refrigerator OFF.
• Disconnect power to the refrigerator.
Care and Cleaning
Energy Saving Tips (con’t)
• Be sure your doors are closing securely by leveling refrigerator as
instructed in your installation instructions.
• Clean the walls, floor, ceiling of cabinet interior, drawers, shelves and
gaskets according to the instructions (see page 29).
• Dilute mild detergent and brush solution into crevices using a plastic
bristle brush. Let stand for five minutes. Rinse surfaces with warm water.
Dry surfaces with a soft, clean cloth.
• Clean condenser coils as indicated in the cleaning instructions every
three months. This will increase energy efficiency and cooling
performance.
Replacing Light Bulbs
• Wash and dry all bottles, containers and jars. Discard spoiled or expired
items.
• Wrap or store odor-causing foods in tightly sealed containers to prevent
recurring odors.
• Reconnect power to refrigerator and return food to refrigerator.
• Allow the refrigerator to cool.
• After 24 hours, check if odor has been eliminated.
CAUTION
To avoid personal injury or
property damage, observe the
following:
• Allow light bulb to cool
• Wear gloves when replacing
light bulb
WARNING
To avoid electrical shock which
can cause severe personal injury
or death, disconnect power to
refrigerator before replacing light
bulb. After replacing light bulb,
connect power.
If odor is still present:
Upper Refrigerator Compartment
The upper refrigerator light bulbs are located behind the front panel.
Reach behind the panel to remove the bulbs.
• Remove drawers and place on top shelf of refrigerator.
• Pack refrigerator and freezer sections – including doors – with crumpled
sheets of black and white newspaper.
• Place charcoal briquettes randomly on crumpled newspaper in both
freezer and refrigerator compartments.
• Close doors and let stand 24 to 48 hours.
Lower Refrigerator Compartment
• Push up on bottom tabs on light cover. Rotate cover
up and release tabs.
Energy Saving Tips
• Remove light bulb.
• Avoid overcrowding refrigerator shelves. This reduces air circulation
around food and causes refrigerator to run longer.
• Avoid adding too much warm food to refrigerator at one time. This
overloads compartments and slows rate of cooling.
• Do not use aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper toweling as shelf liners.
This decreases air flow and causes refrigerator to run less efficiently.
• A freezer that is two-thirds full runs most efficiently.
• Locate refrigerator in coolest part of room. Avoid areas of direct
sunlight, or near heating ducts, registers or other heat producing
appliances. If this is not possible, isolate exterior by using a section of
cabinet or an added layer of insulation.
• Replace with appliance bulbs no greater than 40 watts.
• Insert top tabs of light cover into liner slots and snap
bottom tabs into liner slots.
Upper Freezer Compartment
• Remove ice bin by lifting front of bin and
pulling out.
• Remove light shield by pressing the upper
right side of the shield and rotating downward.
• Remove light bulb. Replace bulb with appliance bulb no greater than
40 watts.
• Rotate the shield upward, press slightly and snap into place.
• Replace ice bin by sliding in until bin locks into place.
• Clean door gaskets every three months according to cleaning
instructions. This will assure that door seals properly and refrigerator
runs efficiently.
• Take time to organize items in refrigerator to reduce time that door is
open.

Operating Sounds
Care and Cleaning
Improvements in refrigeration design may produce sounds in your new
refrigerator that are different or were not present in an older model.
These improvements were made to create a refrigerator that is better at
preserving food, is more energy efficient, and is quieter overall.
Because new refrigerators run quieter, sounds may be detected that
were present in older refrigerators, but were masked by higher sound
levels. Many of these sounds are normal. Please note that the surfaces
adjacent to a refrigerator, such as hard walls, floors and cabinetry may
make these sounds seem even louder. The following are some of the
normal sounds that may be noticed in a new refrigerator.
Upon Your Return
After a Short Vacation or Absence:
For models with automatic ice makers or dispensers:
• Reconnect the water supply and turn on supply valve (see Installation
Instructions).
• Monitor water connection for 24 hours and correct leaks if necessary.
• Run 10-15 glasses of water from the dispenser to flush out the system.
• Restart the ice maker by lowering the ice maker arm.
• Discard at least the first three ice harvests.
After a Long Vacation or Absence:
