#Tstailatiof; o Connecting Optional Ice Maker To Water Supply
To avoid electric shock, which can cause death or severe personaJ injury, disconnect the
refrig orator from eJectricai power before connecting a water euppJy line to the refrigerator.
To Avoid Property Damage:
- Copper tubing is recommended for the water supply line.Water supplytubing made of 1A"plastic is not
recommended since it greatly increases the potential for water leaks. Manufactarer witl not be responsible for
any damage if plastic tubing is used for suppJy line.
• DO NOT install water eupplytubing m areas where temperatures fall below freezing.
• Chemicals from a maffunctioning softener can damage the ice maker, ff the ice maker is connected to soft
water, ensure that the softener is maintained and working property.
IMPORTANT: Ensure that your water supply line connections comply with all local plumbing codes.
Before Installing The Water Supply Line, You Will Need
BasicTools: adjustable wrench, flat-blade screwdriver, and PhillipsTM screwdriver
o Access to a household cold water line with water pressure between 20 and 120 psi,
A water supply line made of 1Ainch (6,4 mm) OD, copper tubing, Todetermine 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),
o 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.
NOTE: Water line kit number 5303917950, available from your appliance dealer at additional cost, contains 25 feet (7.6
To Connect Water Supply Line To Ice Maker Inlet Valve
1, Disconnect refrigerator from electric power source,

and flush supply line until water is clear, Turn OFF water supply at shut
off valve.
Compression
3. Unscrew plastic cap from water valve inlet and discard cap.
4. Slide brass compression nut, then ferrule (sleeve) onto water supply line,
as shown.
5. Push water supply line into water valve inlet as far as it will go (1Ainch).
Slide ferrule (sleeve) into valve inlet and finger tighten compression nut
onto valve. Tighten another half turn with a wrench; DO NOT over tighten.
6. With steel clamp and screw, secure water supply line to rear panel of
refrigerator as shown.
7. Coil excess water supply line (about 2Y2turns) behind refrigerator as shown
and arrange coils so they do not vibrate or wear against any other surface.
8. Turn ON water supply at shutoff valve and tighten any connections that
leak.

ice Service
if your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker, it wiHIpmqde a sufficienl
suppiy of ce for normai use, During the initial startup of your refrigerator.
however, no ice wHibe produced during the first 24 hours of operation, Automatic
ice makers are aiso optionai accessories that may be installed in most modeis
at any time, Cali your iocai dealer for information,
TURNING YOUR raCE MAKER ON
After the piumbing connections have been compieted, the water suppiy vaive
must be opened, Piace the ice container under the ice maker, pushing it as far
back as possibie, Lower the wire signai arm to its "down" or ON position, New
piumbing connections may cause the first production of ice cubes to be
discolored or have an odd flavor, These first cubes shouid be discarded untii
Ihe cubes produced are free of discoloration and taste,
TURNING YOUR iCE MAKER OFF
To stop the ice maker, Hiltthe wire signai arm untii it chicks and Hocksin the
"up" or OFF position, The ice maker aiso turns off automaticaliy when the ice
container is fuli, if your modei has an adjustabie freezer sheif, piace the sheif
in the iower position, so that the wire signaHarm wiHHhit the ice when the
container is full.
BMPORTANT: Your ice maker !s shipped with the wire signal arm in the ON position: To ensu[e proper function of

and locks in the Up posit!on.
Chemicals from a rnaffunct!on!ng so_ener can damage the ice maker, ifthe ice maker isconnected
to eoft water, ensure that the softener is maintained and working properJy.
iCE MAKER TIPS
o ice cubes stored too iong may develop an odd flavor, Empty the ice container and ensure that the wire signai arm is
in its "down" or ON position, The ice maker wili then produce more ice,
Occasionaliy shake the ice container to keep ice separated,
o Keep the wire signai arm in its "up" or OFF position untii the refrigerator is connected to the water suppiy or whenever
the water suppiy is turned off,
o The following sounds are normai when the ice maker is operating:
Motor running
ice loosening from tray
o ice dropping into ice container
Water valve opening or closing
Do Not pJace the ice Container in yOUCdishwasher.
Wash the ice container in warm water with mild detergent, Rinse well and dry,
Stop the ice maker when cleaning the freezer and during vacations,
o if the ice maker will be turned off for a long period of time, turn the water supply valve to the closed position,

Food Storage & Energy Saving ideas
FOOD STORAGE IDEAS
Fresh Food Storage
o The fresh food compartment shouUdbe kept between 34 ° F and 40° F with an optimum temperature of 37° R
o Avoid overcrowding the refrigerator sheUves,This reduces the circuUation of air around the food and resuUtsin uneven
cooling,
Fruits and Vegetables
o Storage in the crisper drawers traps moisture to heUppreserve the fruit and vegetabb quality for bnger time periods,
Meat
o Raw meat and pouUtryshouUdbe wrapped secureUyso bakage and contamination of other foods or surfaces does not
Occur,
Frozen Food Storage
* The freezer compartment shouUdbe kept at 0° F or bwer,
* A freezer operates most efficbntUy when it is at bast 2/3 full,
Packaging Foods for Freezing
o To minimize dehydration and quality deterioration, use aUuminumfoil, freezer wrap, freezer bags or airtight containers,
Force as much air out of the packages as possible and seal them tightly, Trapped air can cause food to dry out,
change color, and develop an off-flavor (freezer burn),
* Wrap fresh meats and poultry with suitable freezer wrap prior to freezing,
o Do not refreeze meat that has completely thawed,
Loading the Freezer
o Avoid adding too much warm food to the freezer at one time, This overloads the freezer, slows the rate of freezing,
and can raise the temperature of frozen foods,
, Leave a space between the packages, so cold air can circulate freely, allowing food to freeze as quickly as possible,
* Avoid storing hard-to-freeze foods such as ice cream and orange juice on the freezer door shelves, These foods are
best stored in the freezer interior where the temperature varies less,
ENERGY SAVING IDEAS
- Locate the refrigerator inthe coolest part of the room, out of direct sunlight,
and away from heating ducts or registers Do not place the refrigerator
next to heat-producing appliances such as a range, oven, ordishwasher
if this is not possible a section of cabinetry or an added layer of insulation
between the two appliances wiii help the refrigerator operate more
efficiently,
- Level the refrigerator so that the doors close tightly,
o Refer to this Use & Care Manual for the suggested temperature control
settings,
° Periodic cleaning of the condenser will help the refrigerator run more
efficiently, See the Care and C/eaning Charton page 18
Do not overcrowd the refrigerator or block cold air vents, Doing so causes
the refrigerator to run longer and use more energy,
o Cover foods and wipe containers dry before placing them in the
refrigerator, This cuts down on moisture build-up inside the unit,
Organize the refrigerator to reduce door openings, Remove as many
items as needed at one time and close the door as soon as possible,

& Cleaning Chart
Use 2 tablespoons of baking soda in 1 quart of warm water. Be sure to wring
excess water out of sponge or cloth before cleaning around controls,
light bulb or any electrical part.
Allow glass to warm to room temperature before immersing in warm water.
Vacuum dust from front of toe grille. Remove toe grille (See illustration on
page 4). Vacuum backside and wipe with sudsy cloth or sponge. Rinse and
dry.

handles. Use a soft cloth to clean smooth handles. Do Not use a dry cloth to
clean smooth doors.
Clean stainless steel front and handles with non-abrasive soapy water and a
dishcloth. Rinse with clean water and a soft cloth. Wipe stubborn spots with an
ammonia-soaked paper towel, and rinse. Use a non-abrasive stainless steel
cleaner. These cleaners can be purchased at most home improvement or
major department stores. Always follow manufacturer's instructions.
