Proper Disposal of Your Old

Refrigerator

WARNING

Suffocation Hazard Remove doors from your old refrigerator.

Failure to do so can result in death or brain damage.

IMPORTANT: Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators are still dangerous

– even if they will sit for “just a few days.” If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator, please follow these instructions to help prevent accidents.

Before You Throw Away Your Old Refrigerator or Freezer:

■■ Take off the doors.

■■ Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.

Important information to know about disposal of refrigerants:

Dispose of refrigerator in accordance with Federal and Local regulations. Refrigerants must be evacuated by a licensed, EPA certified refrigerant technician in accordance with established procedures.

INSTALLATION

INSTRUCTIONS

Unpack the Refrigerator

WARNING

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move and install refrigerator.

Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

Remove the Packaging

IMPORTANT: Do not remove the white foam air return insert from behind the control panel on the ceiling of the refrigerator. If the insert is removed, ice may migrate down from the freezer and cause icicles to form.

■■ Remove tape and glue residue from surfaces before turning on the refrigerator. Rub a small amount of liquid dish soap over the adhesive with your fingers. Wipe with warm water and dry with a soft cloth.

■■ Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, flammable fluids, or abrasive cleaners to remove tape or glue. These products can damage the surface of your refrigerator. For more information, see “Refrigerator Safety.”

When Moving Your Refrigerator:

Your refrigerator is heavy. When moving the refrigerator for cleaning or service, be sure to cover the oor with cardboard or hardboard to avoid oor damage. Always pull the refrigerator straight out when moving it. Do not wiggle or “walk” the refrigerator when trying to move it, as oor damage could occur.

Clean Before Using

After you remove all of the packaging materials, clean the inside of your refrigerator before using it. See the cleaning instructions in “Refrigerator Care.”

Important information to know about glass shelves and covers:

Do not clean glass shelves or covers with warm water when they are cold. Shelves and covers may break if exposed to sudden temperature changes or impact, such as bumping. Tempered glass is designed to shatter into many small, pebble-size pieces. This is normal. Glass shelves and covers are heavy. Use both hands when removing them to avoid dropping.

Location Requirements

WARNING

Explosion Hazard

Keep ammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from refrigerator.

Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or re.

IMPORTANT: This refrigerator is designed for indoor household use only.

To ensure proper ventilation for your refrigerator, it is recommended to allow a 1/2" (1.25 cm) space on each side. Allow 1½" (3.81 cm) of space between overhead cabinets and refrigerator top. Allow at least 1" (2.54 cm) between back of cabinet and the wall (consider the condenser as back in case is present). If your refrigerator has an ice maker, allow extra space at the back for the water line connections.

If you are installing your refrigerator next to a fixed wall, leave enough space on the hinge side to allow the door to swing open.

Level the refrigerator. See "Adjust the Doors" part of this manual.

NOTE: This refrigerator is intended for use in a location where the temperature ranges from a minimum of 55°F (13°C) to a maximum of 110°F (43°C). The preferred room temperature range for optimum performance, which reduces electricity usage and provides superior cooling, is between 60°F (15°C) and 90°F (32°C). It is recommended that you do not install the refrigerator near a heat source, such as an oven or radiator.

11/2" (3.81cm)

1/2" (1.25 cm)

Electrical Requirements

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet. Do not remove ground prong.

Do not use an adapter.

Do not use an extension cord.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

Before you move your refrigerator into its final location, it is

important to make sure you have the proper electrical connection.

Recommended Grounding Method

A 115 volt, 60 Hz, AC only, 15 or 20 A fused, grounded electrical supply is required. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only your refrigerator be provided. Use an outlet that cannot be turned off by a switch. Do not use an extension cord. NOTE: Before performing any type of installation or cleaning,

or removing a light bulb, turn cooling off or turn the control (Thermostat, Refrigerator, or Freezer control depending on the model) to OFF, and then disconnect the refrigerator from the electrical source. When you are finished, reconnect the refrigerator to the electrical source and turn cooling on or reset the control (Thermostat, Refrigerator, or Freezer control,

depending on the model) to the desired setting. See “Using the Controls” in the User Instructions, User Guide, or Use & Care Guide.

Water Supply Requirements

Read all directions before you begin.

IMPORTANT:

■■ Connect to potable water supply only.

Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system. Systems certified for cyst reduction may be used on disinfected waters that may contain filterable cysts.

■■ If you turn the refrigerator on before the water line is connected, turn the ice maker off.

■■ 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.

TOOLS NEEDED: Flat-blade screwdriver, 7/16" and 1/2" openend wrenches or 2 adjustable wrenches, 1/4" nut driver and drill bit, cordless drill. Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation. Read and follow the instructions provided with any tools listed.

NOTE: Your refrigerator dealer has a kit available with a 1/4" (6.35 mm) saddle-type shutoff 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.

Water Pressure

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

Reverse Osmosis Water Supply

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 ice maker is still not operating properly:

■■ 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.

Connect the Water Supply

(on some models)

Read all directions before you begin.

IMPORTANT: If you turn the refrigerator on before the water line is connected, turn the ice maker off to avoid excessive noise or damage to the water valve.

Connect the 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 1/2" to 1¹⁄4" (1.27 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. 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 will need. Measure from the connection on 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.

5.Using a cordless drill, drill a 1/4" hole in the cold water pipe you have selected.

IMPORTANT: Your refrigerator complies with American Disabilities Act (ADA) guidelines.

Door Closing

Your refrigerator has two front adjustable levelers - one on the right and one on the left. To avoid a hazard due to instability, 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.

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 Hinge cover.

REFRIGERATOR USE

Using the Controls

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

Temperature Control

For your convenience, the Temperature control is preset at the factory. When you first install your refrigerator, make sure the control is still preset as shown.

Recommended Setting

Cooling Off/On

■■ To turn cooling off, press and hold the Setting button for 4 seconds until all lights are illuminated for 1 second. To turn cooling back on, press and hold the Setting button again for 4 seconds.

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

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 refrigerator, do not adjust the control more than one setting at a time. Wait 24 hours between adjustments for the temperature to stabilize.

■■ Press the SETTING button to toggle among the 4 LED lights which indicate the temperature setting. Reading from left to right, the LED in the first position is the least cold. The LEDs indicate increasingly colder settings as you continue to the right until all 4 LEDs are illuminated.

CONDITION/REASON:	ADJUSTMENT:
REFRIGERATOR too warm	TEMPERATURE control one
	setting higher

FREEZER too warm/Too little	AIRFLOW or TEMPERATURE
ice	control one setting higher

REFRIGERATOR too cold	TEMPERATURE control one
	setting lower

FREEZER too cold	AIRFLOW or TEMPERATURE
	control one setting lower

Airflow Control

The Airflow control regulates the amount of air flowing between the freezer and the refrigerator compartments.

When you plug in the refrigerator for the first time, turn the Airflow control to the Recommended setting.

Adjusting the Airflow Control

If you want to temporarily increase the cold airflow to a specific compartment, adjust the control.

■■ Max - Increase airflow to the freezer.

■■ Min - Increase airflow to the refrigerator.

IMPORTANT: Once the performance is achieved, return the Airflow control to the Recommended setting to keep the refrigerator operating at optimum efficiency.

CONDITION/REASON:	ADJUSTMENT:
Heavy ice use	Max

Hot room temperature	Max - to maintain ice making
	production rate

Large quantity of groceries	Min - to quickly chill food and
	beverages
