Child Safety

Destroy or recycle the carton, plastic bags, and any exterior wrapping material immediately after the refrigerator is unpacked. Children should NEVER use these items to play. Cartons covered with rugs, bedspreads, plastic sheets or stretch wrap may become airtight chambers, and can quickly cause suffocation.

Proper Disposal of your Refrigerator or Freezer

• Have refrigerant removed by a qualified service

technician.

Never unplug the refrigerator by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly, and pull straight out from the receptacle to

prevent damaging the power cord.

Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning and before replacing a light bulb to avoid

electrical shock.

Performance may be affected if the voltage varies by 10% or more. Operating the

refrigerator with insufficient power can damage the compressor. Such damage is

not covered under your warranty.

Do not plug the unit into an electrical outlet controlled by a wall switch or pull cord to

prevent the refrigerator from being turned off accidentally.

Pressing and holding the On/Off button for three seconds, located on the left side of the temperature control panel (Electronic controls), or turning the Freezer and Fresh Food controls to "0" (Mechanical

• Basic Tools: adjustable wrench, fiat-blade screwdriver, and PhillipsTM screwdriver

Access to a household cold water line with

water pressure between 30 and 100 psi.

A water supply line made of 1/4inch (6.4 mm)

OD, copper tubing. To determine the length of copper tubing needed, you will need to

measure the distance from the ice maker inlet valve at the back of the refrigerator to

your cold water pipe. Then add approximately

7 feet (2.1 meters), so the refrigerator can be moved out for cleaning (as shown).

A shutoff valve to connect the water supply

line to your household water system. DO NOT use a self-piercing type shutoff valve.

A compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) for

connecting the water supply line to the ice maker inlet valve.

Water line kit number 5303917950, available from your appliance dealer at additional cost, contains 25 feet (7.6 meters) of 1/4inch OD copper tubing, a saddle type shutoff valve (nonpierdng), two 1/4inch brass compression

nuts, two ferrules/sleeves, and instructions for installinga water supply line.
