Water Supply Requirements

Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation. Read and follow the instructions provided with any tools listed here.

TOOLS NEEDED:

Flat-blade screwdriver ⁷⁄₁₆" and ¹⁄₂" open-end or two

adjustable wrenches

NOTE: Your refrigerator dealer has a kit available with a ¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm) saddle-type shut-off valve, a union, and copper tubing. Before purchasing, make sure a saddle-type valve complies with your local plumbing codes. Do not use a piercing-type or ³⁄₁₆" (4.76 mm) saddle valve which reduces water flow and clogs more easily.

IMPORTANT:

All installations must meet local plumbing code requirements. Use copper tubing and check for leaks. Install copper tubing

only in areas where the household temperatures will remain above freezing.

DEF

D E

A cold water supply with water pressure of between 30 and 120 psi (207 and 827 kPa) is required to operate the water dispenser and ice maker. If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, qualified plumber.

Reverse Osmosis Water Supply

IMPORTANT: The pressure of the water supply coming out of

a reverse osmosis system going to the water inlet valve of the refrigerator needs to be between 30 and 120 psi (207 and 827 kPa).

If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is connected to your cold water supply, the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system needs to be a minimum of 40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa).

If the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system is less than 40 to 60 psi (276

Check to see whether the sediment filter in the reverse osmosis system is blocked. Replace the filter if necessary.

Allow the storage tank on the reverse osmosis system to refill after heavy usage.

If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, qualified plumber.

to 414 kPa):

Connect the Water Supply

Read all directions before you begin. IMPORTANT: If you turn the refrigerator on before the water line is

connected, turn the ice maker OFF.

7. Slip the compression sleeve and compression nut on the copper tubing as shown. Insert the end of the tubing into the outlet end squarely as far as it will go. Screw compression nut onto outlet end with adjustable wrench. Do not overtighten.

8. Place the free end of the tubing in a container or sink, and turn on the main water supply. Flush th e tubing until water is clear. Turn off the shut-off valve on the water pipe. Coil the copper tubing.

Connect to Refrigerator

1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

2. Attach the copper tubing to the valve inlet using a

compression nut and sleeve as shown. Tighten the compression nut. Do not overtighten.

3. Use the tube clamp on the back of the refrigerator to secure the tubing to the refrigerator as shown. This will help avoid damage to the tubing when the refrigerator is pushed back against the wall.

4. Turn shut-off valve on.

5. Check for leaks. Tighten any connections (including

connections at the valve) or nuts that leak.

Connect to Water Line

1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

2. Turn off main water supply. Turn on nearest faucet long

enough to clear line of water.

3. Locate a ½" to 1¹⁄₄" (1.25 cm to 3.18 cm) vertical cold water pipe near the refrigerator.

IMPORTANT:

Make sure it is a cold water pipe. Horizontal pipe will work, but drill on the top side of the

pipe, not the bottom. This will help keep water away from the drill and normal sediment from collecting in the valve.

4. Determine the length of copper tubing you need. Measure from the connection on the lower left rear of refrigerator to the water pipe. Add 7 ft (2.1 m) to allow for cleaning. Use ¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm) O.D. (outside diameter) copper tubing. Be sure both ends of copper tubing are cut square.

Door Closing

Your refrigerator has two front adjustable levelers - one on the right and one on the left. If your refrigerator seems unsteady or you want the doors to close easier, adjust the refrigerator's tilt using the following instructions:

1. Turn the leveler to lower or raise that side of the refrigerator. It may take several turns to adjust the tilt of the refrigerator.

To raise, turn the leveler to the right. To lower, turn the leveler to the left.

NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the refrigerator takes some weight off the levelers and rollers which makes it easier to adjust.

2. Open both doors again to make sure they close as easily as you like. If not, tilt the refrigerator slightly more to the rear by turning both leveling legs to the left; it may take several more turns.

NOTE: To keep the refrigerator level, you should turn both leveling legs the same amount.

3. Using a level, be sure that the refrigerator is still level side to side. Readjust if necessary.

NOTE: Neither compartment will cool when the control is set to OFF.

Door Aligning

If the space between your doors looks uneven, you can adjust it using the following instructions:

1. Depending on your model, remove the top hi nge cover.

2. Loosen the top hinge screws using a ⁵⁄₁₆" socket or wrench.

3. Have someone hold the door in place or put a spacer between

the doors while you tighten the top hinge screws.

4. Replace the top hinge cover, if removed in Step 1.

REFRIGERATOR USE

Using the Controls

Your refrigerator has two controls that affect the temperature. The Temperature control is located at the top front of the refrigerator compartment and the Airflow control is located on the back wall of the freezer compartment.

IMPORTANT:

The recommended setting should be correct for normal household refrigerator use. The controls are set correctly when milk or juice is as cold as you like and when ice cream is firm.

Wait 24 hours for your refrigerator to cool completely before adding food. If you add food before the refrigerator has cooled completely, your food may spoil.

NOTE: Adjusting the refrigerator and freezer temperature controls to a colder than recommended setting will not cool the compartments any faster.

If the temperature is too warm or too cold in the refrigerator

or freezer, first check the air vents to be sure they are not

blocked before adjusting the controls.

Adjusting the Temperature Control

If you need to adjust the temperature in either the refrigerator or freezer compartment, use the settings listed in the chart below as a guide.

NOTE: Except when starting the refr control more than one setting at a time. Wait 24 hours between adjustments for the temperature to st

Ice Maker

Turning the Ice Maker On/Off

NOTE: Do not force the wire shut-off arm up or down.

To turn the ice maker on, simply lower the wire shutoff arm. NOTE: Your ice maker has an automatic shut-off. As ice is

made, the ice cubes will fill the ice storage bin and the ice cubes will raise the wire shut-off arm to the Off (arm up) position.

To manually turn the ice maker off, lift the wire shut-off arm to the Off (arm up) position and list en for the click to make sure the ice maker will not continue to operate.

NOTE: Turn the ice maker off before removing the ice storage bin to serve ice or to clean the bin. This will keep the ice cubes from dropping out of the ice maker and into the freezer compartment. After replacing the ice storage bin, turn on the ice maker.

Ice Production Rate

NORMAL Ice Production: The ice maker should produce approximately 8 to 12 batches of ice in a 24-hour period. If ice is not being made fast enough, turn the Freezer control toward a higher (colder) number in half number steps. (For example, if the control is at 3, move it to between 3 and 4.) Wait 24 hours and, if necessary, gradually turn the Freezer control to the highest setting, waiting 24 hours between each increase.

MAXIMUM Ice Production (on some models): The ice maker should produce approximately 16 to 20 batches of ice in a 24-hour period. If your refrigerator has the maximum ice production feature, push the switch to MAX.

FEATURES

Your model may have some or all of these features.

Important information to know about glass shelves and covers:

Refrigerator Shelves

The shelves in your refrigerator are adjustable to match your individual storage needs.

Storing similar food items together in your refrigerator and adjusting the shelves to fit different heights of items will make finding the exact item you want easier. It will also reduce the amount of time the refrigerator door is open and save energy.

To remove and replace a shelf:

1. Remove items from the shelf.

2. Slide the shelf straight out to the stop.

3. Depending on your model, lift back or front of the shelf past

the stop. Slide shelf out the rest of the way.

4. Replace the shelf by sliding the back of the shelf into the track in the wall of the cabinet.

5. Guide the front of the shelf in all the way.

the shelf into the shelf track. Be sure to slide

Remember

Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Allow 3 days to completely fill the ice storage bin. Discard the first three batches of ice produced.

The quality of your ice will be only as good as the quality of the water supplied to your ice maker. Avoid connecting the ice maker to a softened water supply. Water softener chemicals (such as salt) can damage parts of the ice maker and lead to poor quality ice. If a softened water supply cannot be avoided, make sure the water softener is operating properly and is well maintained.

Do not store anything on top of the ice maker or in the ice storage bin.

Crisper

Crisper Drawers

To remove and replace the crisper drawer:

1. Slide the crisper drawer straight out to the stop. Lift the front

and slide the drawer out the rest of the way.

2. Replace the drawer by sliding the drawer in fully past the stop.

Crisper Cover

To remove and replace the crisper cover:

1. Remove the crisper(s).

2. Pull the glass straight out.
