Energy Saving Features.
The radiant shell condenser (it releases heat from food in the
refrigerator to the outside air) is welded to the top and sides
of the outer cabinet. This condenser saves more energy because it
does not require an energy consuming condenser fan motor as is required
in some no-frost type of refrigerators.
Magna-seal gaskets, with a magnetic strip inside the tough vinyl
gasket, grip the cabinet for an airtight seal. This locks the cold
in, keeps the warm air out, and reduces running time. The seamless,
one-piece ads extra insulating protection because it conducts less
heat than either metal or porcelain-coated steel liners. This refrigerator
is a partial automatic defrost model, and has one auxiliary, moisture-preventing
heater strip (center mullion). This heater is cycled with the compressor
and controlled by the energy saver control so you can realize additional
energy savings depending upon humidity conditions in your home.
How to Save Energy. Location.
You will save energy if your refrigerator is located away from
heating equipment and direct sunlight.
Keep the freezer and refrigerator sections full, the unit will operate
more economically when filled to capacity, but not overfilled. When
the refrigerator-freezer is full and the doors are opened, the cold
food helps maintain temperature.
Control settings.
You should set the freezer-refrigerator control so that it does
not run colder than necessary.
Doors. Check the door gaskets to be sure they do not become blocked,
dirty, or worn. Air leaks will cause the unit to operate unnecessarily.
Defrosting. You should defrost your freezer when frost has built
to more than 1/4-inch thick. With frost build-up, efficiency decreases
and your unit must run longer to compensate for it.
Cleaning.
How to remove grill at bottom of the unit. Pull grill straight forward
from the unit to release the grill clips. To replace, reverse procedure.
Condensate drain pan. The pan is located underneath the cabinet.
Periodically, remove grill and clean pan. We suggest every three
grill
Before replacing grill, make sure the pan is in place meat pan out
of the metal holder. When reassembling, reverse the procedure.
FINAL PLACEMENT OF REFUGERATOR ON SOLID FLOOR
Support the combined weight of the food and the unit in order to
insure proper operation and a good door seal.
REFRIGERATOR
If the spot selected is next to a wall, be sure that you allow two
inches of space along the side so the doors can be opened 90 degrees.
Freestanding
The refrigerator must be installed as a freestanding unit. It has
an efficient radiant shell condenser but there must be ample air
circulation around the unit for maximum operating efficiency. Locate
it away from direct sources of heat. Slide unit against the wall.
For minimum clearances, allow 1/2-inches between top of unit and
overhead cabinets. Each side of the unit must have one inch between
walls, counter top, or other appliance do not completely build in
unit.
Warm cabinet.
Even when installed with proper clearance, it is normal for the
sides and top of the cabinet to feel warm to the touch. This is
the heat being transferred from the food inside the unit into the
air. It is warmest when the compressor motor is running.
Leveling is important for proper closing.
How to level refrigerator. Your refrigerator should be leveled with
rollers at each corner. Some models have four leveling legs. If
your floor is not level from side to side, it may be necessary to
shim less than one of the rollers or legs at the rear.
Leveling with rollers. Each front roller (located behind the grill
at the bottom of the unit) is independently adjustable. Use a screwdriver
to move the front rollers up or down. Adjust until the unit tilts
slightly from front to back. This allows the doors to close firmly.
Leveling unit without rollers. This model has leveling legs that
must rest firmly against the floor. Adjust by turning legs until
the unit tilts slightly from front to back. This allows the doors
to close firmly.
