Proper Disposal of your Refrigerator

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 the instructions below to help prevent accidents.

BEFORE YOU THROW AWAY YOU R OLD REFRIGERATOR OR FREEZER:

• Take off the doors.

• Leave the shelves in place so that children may

not easily climb inside.

Installation Instructions

Proper installation will ensure this refrigerator operates most efficiently. Amana cannot be responsible for improper installation.

1. Remove doors if necessary.

WARNING

Toavoid electrical shock which can cause severe

personal injury or death, disconnect power to

refrigerator before removing doors. After replacing

doors, connect power.

a. Remove toe grille. b. Electronic Models

Unplug wiring harness from voltage box.

d. Remove top hinge covers. (A below)

WARNING

To avoid electrical shock which can cause severe

personal injury or death, green ground wire must remain attached to hinge.

e. Electronic and Dispenser Models

Unplug top hinge wire connectors. Do not remove green ground wire from hinge. Carefully lift and remove top hinges. Do not disturb position of hinge shims. (B)

To avoid property damage, protect soft vinyl or other flooring with cardboard, rugs, or other protective

material when moving refrigerator.

g. Slide appliance cart under side of refrigerator. Wrap

refrigerator with blanket or pad. Thread cart strap around refrigerator and tighten. Do not overtighten strap. Move refrigerator in front of final location.

Rehang doors by reversing steps a-f. Use a penny at

top of doors to space doors 3/4"(18 ram) from cabinet.

2. Connecting Water Supply

WARNING

To avoid electrical shock which can cause severe

personal injury or death, disconnect power to refrigerator before connecting water supply. After

connecting water supply, connect power.

Caution

Toavoid property damage, observe the following:

• Confirm water pressure to water valve is between 20 and 100 pounds per square inch.

• Tighten nut by hand to avoid cross threading. Finish tightening nuts with pliers and wrenches. Do not overtighten.

• Check for water leaks and correct if necessary before returning refrigerator to normal location and 24 hours after connecting.

Important

• Before connecting water supply, contact a plumber to connect copper tubing to household plumbing in compliance with local codes and ordinances.

• Aself-piercing or3/16'' saddle valve is not recommended. Both reduce water flow, become clogged with time and may cause leaks if repair is attempted. The correct type of shut off valve requires a %" hole to be drilled in water supply pipe prior to valve attachment. The manufacturer is not responsible for property damage caused by improper water

connection.

Materials Required

V4"(6 mm) flexible copper tubing. Length of copper tubing must reach from water supply connection plus an additional 8' (2 m)for service loop behind refrigerator.

Procedure

1. Remove plastic cap from water valve inlet port. Place brass nut and brass sleeve on copper tubing. Insert copper tubing into water valve inlet port. Connect brass nut on copper tubing to water valve inlet port. Confirm copper tubing is secure by pulling on copper tubing.

Create service loop using extreme care to avoid kinks. Secure copper tubing to refrigerator cabinet with a "P" clamp.

Plug in power cord.

Move refrigerator into final location.

Level refrigerator and align doors.

a.Remove toe grille.

b.Turn roller adjustment screw to raise or lower

refrigerator cabinet until refrigerator is stable. Some models have both front and rear adjustable rollers.

Normal Operating Sounds Before Calling For Service

This new refrigerator may be replacing a differently designed, less efficient or smaller refrigerator. Today's refrigerators have new features and are more energy efficient. As a result, certain sounds may be unfamiliar.

These sounds are normal and will soon become familiar. These sounds also indicate refrigerator is operating and

performing as designed.

1. Deepfreeze _control clicks when starting or stopping compressor.

2. Deepfreeze <_fan air rushes and whirs.

3. Sealed system (evaporator and heat exchanger) refrigerant flow gurgles, pops or sounds like boiling

water.

4. Defrost heater sizzles, hisses or pops.

5. Condenser fan air rushes and whirs.

6. Compressor has a high pitched hum or pulsating sound.

7. Ice cubes from ice maker (some models) drop into ice bucket.

Ice auger (Ice 'N' Water T_'Dispenser models) hums as auger agitates ice during dispensing. Ice auger is located in freezer door. (not shown) Ice maker water valve hookup (some models)

buzzes when ice maker fills with water. This occurs whether or not refrigerator is connected to water

supply, tf refrigerator is not connected to water supply, stop sound by raising ice maker arm to off position. Water valve hook up is located in back, bottom, left hand corner. (not shown)

Foam insulation is very energy efficient and has excellent insulating capabilities. However, foam insulation is not as sound absorbent as previously used fiberglass insulation. (not shown)

Refrigerator does not operate.

• Confirm Deepfreeze ®control is on.

• Confirm refrigerator is plugged in.

• Check fuse or circuit breaker. Plug in another item at that wall outlet.

• Wait 40 minutes to see if refrigerator restarts. If

Deepfreeze ®control is on, lights work but 2 fans

and compressor are not operating, refrigerator
