Child Safety
Risk of child entrapment
Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned appliances are still dangerous – even if they will sit for "just a few days". If you are getting rid of your old appliance, please follow the instructions below to help prevent accidents.
We strongly encourage responsible appliance recycling/disposal methods. Check with your utility company or visit www. recyclemyoldfridge.com for more information on recycling your old appliance.
Before you throw away your old appliance:
Avoid fire hazard or electric shock. Do not use an extension cord or an adapter plug. Do not remove any prong from power cord.
Electrical Information
These guidelines must be followed to ensure that safety mechanisms in the design of this appliance will operate properly.

This Use & Care Guide provides general operating instructions for your model. Use the refrigerator only as instructed in this Use & Care Guide. Before starting the refrigerator, follow these important first steps.
DO NOT install the refrigerator where the temperature will drop below 55°F (13°C) or rise above 110°F (43°C). The compressor will not be able to maintain proper temperatures inside the refrigerator.
DO NOT block the kick plate on the lower front of your refrigerator. Sufficient air circulation is essential for the proper operation of your refrigerator.
Installation clearances:
NOTE: If your refrigerator is placed with the door hinge side against a wall, you may have to allow additional space so the door can be opened wider.

Single Unit Installation
Matching Refrigerator and Freezer Door Handle Installation
NOTE: All set screws should be tightened and sub-flush (Allen set screw should be seated just below the surface of the end cap) of handle end cap. The end caps should be drawn tight to refrigerator door with no gaps.
To remove the kick plate, use a Phillips head screwdriver and remove the two screws holding the kick plate to the cabinet. Then pull the kick plate away from the unit.
The refrigerator must have all bottom corners resting firmly on a solid floor.
The floor must be strong enough to support a fully loaded refrigerator.
It is VERY IMPORTANT for your refrigerator to be level in order to function properly. If the refrigerator is not leveled during installation, the door may be misaligned and not close or seal properly, causing cooling, frost or moisture problems.
To Level the Refrigerator:
While unit is lying on its back, note the location of the four (4) leg levelers installed at each corner. These leg levelers will be used to level the refrigerator and to adjust the height. Use a carpenter's level to level the refrigerator from front to back and side to side. Adjust the plastic leveling feet in front, ½ bubble higher, so that the door closes easily when left halfway open.
Leveling Instructions for Matching Refrigerator / Freezer Pair:
Leg Level Adjustments:
Leveling Door with Adjustable Hinge
Use the lower hinge adjustment to fine tune the door height and for final cabinet spacing. Use a 7/16" socket or wrench to adjust the screw at the bottom of the lower hinge.
Adjusting Doors for Matching Refrigerator / Freezer Pair
The doors may also be adjusted side to side with the slotted hinge for aligning the doors parallel to each other. Loosen the two bolts with a ⅜" wrench and one screw with a Phillips screwdriver. Shift the doors until parallel, then retighten the screw and bolts securely. (See illustration below.)
Lower Hinge Adjustment for Leveling the Doors of the Matching Refrigerator / Freezer Pair
To level the doors using the adjustable lower hinge (some models):
If door must be removed:
Doors are heavy. Two people are recommended to remove or replace the door assembly from the cabinet.
Cool Down Period
For safe food storage, allow 4 hours for refrigerator to cool down completely. The refrigerator will run continuously for the first several hours.
Pro-Select™ Electronic Control
The Pro-Select™ Electronic Control is located inside the refrigerator. Temperature is factory preset to provide satisfactory food storage temperatures. However, the temperature control is adjustable to provide a range of temperatures for your personal satisfaction.
To adjust the temperature setting, press the UP (▲) key for warmer temperature and DOWN (▼) key for colder temperature on the control panel. Allow several hours for the temperature to stabilize between adjustments. The refrigerator can be adjusted between 33°F (1°C) and 46°F (8°C). By pressing the TEMP MODE key, the temperature display will toggle between °F and °C.
To turn the refrigerator OFF, press the UP (▲) key until the warmest temperature setting of 46°F (8°C) shows in the display. Then press the UP (▲) key 3 times within 3 seconds to turn the refrigerator OFF. The display will then show "OF". To turn the unit back ON, press the DOWN (▼) key 3 times within 3 seconds. The control will then display "46°F (8°C)" and may be adjusted to the desired temperature.
Replace Air Filter
When the "REPLACE AIR FILTER" LED is illuminated yellow, the air filter needs to be replaced. The control will signal for air filter replacement after 3600 hours of refrigerator operation. After replacing the air filter, reset the air filter timer by pressing the AIR FILTER key for 3 seconds. The "REPLACE AIR FILTER" LED will be illuminated green for 3 seconds, confirming a timer reset.
Control Lock
To disable the keypads on the control, begin by pressing the CONTROL LOCK key for 3 seconds until "LO" is displayed for 1 second. With the control locked, when keys are pressed on the control panel, "LO" will be displayed. To unlock the control, press the CONTROL LOCK key for 3 seconds. The display will show "UL" for one second.
Power Fail
The POWER FAIL indicator light informs you that due to a power failure, the cabinet temperature exceeded 55°F (13°C). If the power failure lasted more than 1 hour, the display alternates between showing the power failure duration (Hours and DURATION LED illuminate in the display) and the cabinet temperature (°F or °C illuminates) every ½ second. This safety feature will aid in determining what food spoilage action to take.
The Power Fail indicator light and duration display can be turned off by pressing Alert Reset.
The Sabbath mode is a feature that disables portions of the refrigerator and its controls in accordance with observance of the weekly Sabbath and religious holidays within the Orthodox Jewish community.
To initiate or exit Sabbath Mode, press and hold the CONTROL LOCK and TEMP MODE keys for 3 seconds. Then "Sb" will be displayed on the control panel indicating that the unit is in Sabbath mode.
In the Sabbath mode, the High Temp alarm is active for health reasons. If a high temperature alarm is activated during this time, for example due to a door left ajar, the alarm will sound for about 10 minutes. The alarm will then silence on its own and a "high temp" icon will be displayed on the control panel. The high temp icon will continue to display even if the door is closed until Sabbath mode is exited and the icon reset.
For further assistance, guidelines of proper usage and a complete list of models with the Sabbath feature, please visit the web at http:\\www.star-k.org.
NOTE: While in Sabbath mode, neither the lights nor the control panel will work until Sabbath mode has been deactivated.
The unit stays in Sabbath mode after a power failure recovery. It must be deactivated with the buttons on the control panel.
There are 4 possible conditions that will cause the alert tone to sound.
If the temperature inside the cabinet exceeds 55°F (13°C), the HIGH TEMP LED will illuminate, and after 1 hour, the HIGH TEMP Alarm will sound with 4 short beeps every ½ second, and the cabinet temperature is shown in the display. The LED and temperature alert will remain active until the cabinet temperature is below 55ºF (13ºC).
The audible alert can be turned off by pressing Alert RESET key.
This alert will sound to alert you that the door has been open for 5 minutes or more. The DOOR AJAR LED will illuminate and the audible alert will sound until the door is closed.
The audible alert can be turned off by pressing the Alert RESET key or by closing the door. If the door is ajar for 15 minutes, the interior light will turn off.
The sensor alert signals you that a problem exists with a temperature sensor. The audible alarm will sound after 1 hour and the display will alternate between "E8" or "E9" and 33°F (1°C) at ½ second intervals. The control will then enter a mode that runs the refrigerator in a manner that maintains the factory set cabinet temperature.
The audible alert can be turned off by pressing the Alert RESET key.
The stuck key alert will sound if the control reads a keypress for longer than 30 seconds. The audible alert will sound and will be limited to one minute and will stop automatically. The display will alternate between "E7" and 33°F (1°C) at ½ second intervals. The control will then enter a mode that runs the refrigerator in a manner that maintains the factory set cabinet temperature until the condition is resolved.
The audible alert can be turned off by pressing the Alert RESET key.
Your new Pure Advantage air filter is located inside one of the 2-Liter Door Bins. The air filter cover is located on the upper right side of the control box.

This model is equipped with a Deli Drawer for storage of luncheon meats, spreads, cheeses, and other deli items.
The crisper drawer, located at the bottom of the refrigerator interior, is designed for storing fruits, vegetables, and other fresh produce. Wash items in clean water and then remove excess water before placing them in the crisper. Items with strong odors or high moisture content should be wrapped before storing. Dividers may be adjusted for different size items within the crisper.
To remove the Crisper Drawer or Deli Drawer:
