This document is a comprehensive user manual for a Jenn-Air refrigerator, providing detailed instructions for installation, operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting, as well as warranty information. The manual is presented in three languages: English, Spanish, and French, with each section clearly delineated for easy navigation.

Function Description:

The Jenn-Air refrigerator is designed to store food items at desired temperatures, minimizing energy usage through an efficient compressor and fans. It features adjustable shelves and door bins to accommodate various food sizes and optimize storage capacity. The appliance maintains a controlled internal environment to preserve food freshness and prevent spoilage.

Important Technical Specifications:

Electrical Requirements: The refrigerator requires a 115 Volt, 60 Hz, AC only 15- or 20-amp fused, grounded electrical supply. A separate circuit is recommended, and an outlet that cannot be turned off by a switch should be used. Extension cords are not recommended.
Ventilation: For proper ventilation, a 1/4" (6.35 mm) space is required on each side and at the top of the refrigerator. When installed next to a fixed wall, a minimum clearance of 2 1/2" (6.35 cm) on the hinge side is necessary for the door to swing open.
Temperature Range: The refrigerator should not be installed in locations where the ambient temperature will fall below 55°F (13°C) for optimal performance.
Shelving: The refrigerator may come with either glass or wire shelves. Tempered glass shelves are designed to shatter into small, pebble-sized pieces for safety if impacted or exposed to sudden temperature changes.
Light Bulb: The manual specifies that replacement light bulbs should be of the same size, shape, and wattage as the original.

Usage Features:

Control Settings: The refrigerator control is preset to a mid-setting at the factory. Users can adjust the temperature to make the refrigerator colder or less cold, with a recommended 24-hour waiting period between adjustments to allow the temperature to stabilize.
Adjustable Shelves: Shelves can be lifted up and out of their brackets for removal and repositioning, allowing users to customize storage space for different heights of food items.
Repositionable Door Bins: The refrigerator features three door bin locations for maximum storage. Door bins can be tilted forward and pulled out for repositioning.
Door Closing: The refrigerator has four leveling legs that can be adjusted to ensure stability and facilitate easy door closing. Turning the leveling legs to the right lowers the refrigerator, while turning them to the left raises it. A slight tilt to the rear is recommended for easier door closure.
Normal Sounds: The manual describes various normal operating sounds, such as pulsating or high-pitched sounds from the compressor/fans, rattling noises from refrigerant flow or stored items, gurgling sounds from refrigerant, water running into the drain pan during defrosting, and clicking sounds when the refrigerator starts or stops. These sounds are attributed to the appliance's high-efficiency operation.

Maintenance Features:

Regular Cleaning: The refrigerator should be cleaned approximately once a month to prevent odor buildup, and spills should be wiped up immediately. This involves unplugging the unit, removing all removable parts, and hand washing them with a mild detergent and warm water.
Condenser Coil Cleaning: Condenser coils, located behind the base grille, should be cleaned regularly (every other month is suggested) using a vacuum cleaner with an extended attachment to maintain energy efficiency.
Light Bulb Replacement: Instructions are provided for safely replacing the light bulb, which involves unplugging the refrigerator, removing a light shield with a Phillips screwdriver, and then replacing the bulb.
Base Grille Removal/Replacement: The base grille can be removed by unscrewing two screws and pushing in tabs, allowing access to the condenser coils for cleaning. Reinstallation involves aligning the tabs and replacing the screws.
Vacation Care: For short absences, users can leave the refrigerator on, consuming perishables and freezing other items. For longer absences, it is recommended to remove all food, unplug the unit, clean it, and prop the door open to prevent odors and mold.
Moving Care: Before moving the refrigerator, all food should be removed, the unit unplugged, and thoroughly cleaned. All removable parts should be wrapped and taped securely, and the doors and power cord should be taped shut.

Warranty Information:

The Jenn-Air refrigerator comes with a one-year limited warranty covering factory-specified replacement parts and labor for defects in materials or workmanship. For models with a water filter, a 30-day limited warranty applies to the filter. Additionally, a limited warranty from the second to fifth year covers the cavity liner and sealed refrigeration system parts (compressor, evaporator, condenser, dryer, and connecting tubing) for defects in materials or workmanship. The warranty specifies items not covered, such as service calls for installation issues, light bulb replacement, damage from misuse, food loss, or service outside the U.S. or Canada. It also includes a disclaimer of implied warranties and a limitation of remedies.
