REFRIGERATORSAFETY

Your safety and the safety of others are very important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety

messages.

This is the safety alert symbol. This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others. All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word "DANGER" or "WARNING."

These words mean:

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately

follow instructions.

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow instructions.

All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNmNG: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injuryto persons when usingthe refrigerator, follow basic precautions,

including the following:

m Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet. m Do not remove ground prong.

m Do not use an adapter.

• Do not use an extension cord. m Disconnect power before servicing.

m Replace all parts and panels before operating. m Remove doors from your old refrigerator.

SAVETHESEINSTRUCTmONS

= Use nonflammable cleaner. m Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline,

away from refrigerator.

• Use two or more people to move and install refrigerator. m Disconnect power before installing ice maker (on ice maker

kit ready models only).

Proper Disposalof Your Old 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 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.

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

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." 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.

When Moving Your Refrigerator: Your refrigerator is heavy. When moving the refrigerator

for cleaning or service, be sure to protect the floor. Always putI the refrigerator straight out when moving it=

Do not wiggle or "walk" the refrigerator when trying to move it, as floor damage could occur.

Expmosion Hazard

Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasomine, away from refrigerator.

Faimureto do so can resumt in death, explosion, or fire.

Toensure proper ventilation for your refrigerator, allow for a 1/2" (12.70 mm) space on each side. Allow 3" (7.5 cm) of space

between overhead cabinets and refrigerator top. Allow at least 1" (25.40 mm) between back of cabinet and the wall. If your refrigerator has an ice maker, make sure you leave some extra space at the back for the water line connections.

• If you are installing your refrigerator next to a fixed wall, leave 2" (5.08 cm) minimum on the hinge side (depending on your model) to allow for the door to swing open.

• Level the refrigerator. See "Adjust the Doors."

NOTE: It is recommended that you do not install the refrigerator near an oven, radiator, or other heat source. Do not install in a

location where the temperature will fall below 55°F (13°C).

Clean Before Using

After you remove all of the package 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. For your protection, tempered glass is designed to shatter into many small, pebble-size pieces. This is normal. Glass shelves and covers are heavy. Use special care when removing them to avoid impact from dropping.

Pmugintoagrounded3 prong outleto

Do not remove ground prong, Do not use an adapter,

Do not use an extension cord. FaiJure to follow these }nstructions can resumt }n 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-amp 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, cleaning, or

removing a light bulb, 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 reset the control (Thermostat, Refrigerator or Freezer Control depending on the model) to the desired setting.

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 • 1/411Drill bit

• 7/1611and 1/211Open-end or two • Hand drill or electric drill adjustable wrenches (properly grounded)

• 1/411nut driver

NOTE: Your refrigerator dealer has a kit available with a %" (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/lO"

(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.

Water Pressure

A cold water supply with water pressure of between 30 and 120 psi (207 - 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 - 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 - 414 kPa).

If the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system is less than 40 to 60 psi (276 - 414 kPa):

• 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.

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

connected, turn the ice maker OFR

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 1/2"(1.27 cm) to 11/4'' (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.

Determine the length of copper tubing you will need. Measure from connection on lower left rear of refrigerator to 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.

Using a grounded drill, drill a 1/4"(6.35 mm) hole in the cold water pipe you have selected.

6. Fasten shutoff valve to cold water pipe with pipe clamp. Be sure outlet end is solidly in the 1/4"(6.35 mm) drilled hole in the

water pipe and that washer is under the pipe clamp. Tighten packing nut. Tighten the pipe clamp screws slowly and evenly so washer makes a watertight seal. Do not overtighten or you may crush the copper tubing, especially if soft (coiled) copper

tubing is used. Now you are ready to connect the copper tubing.

7. Slip compression sleeve and compression nut on copper tubing as shown. Insert end of tubing into 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 into a container or sink, and turn ON main water supply and flush out tubing until water is

clear. Turn OFF shutoff valve on the water pipe. Coil copper tubing.

4. Tighten the compression nut. Do not overtighten. Reattach the tube clamp and tube to the back of the cabinet.

Connect to Refrigerator

NOTE: On kit models, assemble water valve to refrigerator per kit

instructions.

Style 1

1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

2. Attach the copper tube 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 prevent damage to the tubing when the refrigerator is pushed back against the wall.

4. Turn shutoff valve ON.

5. Check for leaks. Tighten any connections (including connections at the valve) or nuts that leak.

Your refrigerator has two front adjustable rollers - one on the right and one on the left. Ifyour refrigerator seems unsteady or you want the doors to close easier, adjust the refrigerator's tilt using

the instructions below.

Depending on your model, your refrigerator may have leveling legs (Style 1) or leveling screws (Style 2).They are part of the front

roller assemblies which are found at the base of the refrigerator on either side.

1. Turn the leveling legs or leveling screws to the right to raise that side of the refrigerator or to the left to lower that side. It may take several turns to adjust the tilt of the refrigerator.

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

2. Open both doors again and be sure that they close as easily as you like. If not, tilt the refrigerator slightly more to the rear

by turning both leveling screws to the right. It may take several more turns, and you should turn both leveling screws the

same amount.

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

side. Readjust if necessary.

IMPORTANT:

• Give your refrigerator time to cool down completely before adding food. It is best to wait 24 hours before you put food

into the refrigerator.

• If you add food before the refrigerator has cooled completely, your food may spoil. Adjusting the Refrigerator and Freezer Controls to a higher (colder) than recommended setting will not cool the compartments any faster.

Adjusting Controls

The mid-settings indicated in the previous section should be correct for normal household usage. The controls are set correctly when milk or juice is as cold as you like and when ice cream is firm.

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.

If you need to adjust temperatures, use the settings listed in the chart below as a guide. On models with two controls, adjust the refrigerator temperature first. Wait at least 24 hours between adjustments and then recheck the temperatures.
