Opening and Closing Your
Fresh Food Doors
Your new refrigerator is
uniquely designed with two
fresh food doors. Either door
can be opened or closed
independently of one another.
For proper usage and to
avoid possible damage,
always ensure the vertical
hinged section (on the left

sh food door) remains
folded inward
before closing
both doors. W
hen both doors
are closed, the hinged section
automatic
ally forms a seal between the two doors.
W
hen the left door is opened, the vertical hinged
section automatically folds inward so that is is out of
the way.
T
o avoid electric
al shock which c
an c
ause severe
personal injury or death,
DO NOT attempt to
remove the vertical hinged section from the fresh
food section.
WARNING
To avoid possible product damage, ALWAYS verify
that the vertical hinged section is folded against
the edge of the door prior to closing.
