PROPER DISPOSAL OF
YOUR OLD REFRIGERATOR
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.” If you are getting rid of your old
refrigerator, please follow these instructions to help prevent accidents.
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.
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.
Crisper Humidity Control
(on some models)
You can control the amount of humidity in the moisture-sealed crisper.
Adjust the control to any setting between LOW and HIGH.
LOW (open) for best storage of fruits and vegetables with skins.
HIGH (closed) for best storage of fresh, leafy vegetables.
Suffocation Hazard
Remove doors from your old refrigerator.
Failure to do so can result in death or brain damage.
WARNING
Important information to know about disposal of
refrigerants:
Dispose of refrigerator in accordance with Federal and Local
regulations. Refrigerants must be evacuated by a licensed,
EPA certified refrigerant technician in accordance with
established procedures.
