Remove tape and glue residue from surfaces before turning on
the refrigerator. Rub a small amount of liquid dish soap over

Date of Purchase
In our continuing effort to improve the quality and performance
of our products, it may be necessary to make changes to the
appliance without revising this guide.
IMPORTANT: If you receive a damaged product, immediately
contact your dealer or builder. Do not install or use a damaged
appliance.
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
the Care and Cleaning section.
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, pebblesize pieces. This is normal. Glass shelves and covers are
heavy. Use both hands when removing them to avoid dropping.
Refrigerator Operation
Plug the refrigerator into a grounded 3-prong electrical outlet.
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.

Setting the Controls
The control panel is located on the front of the ice and water
dispenser.
To access the main control menu, press any of the four touch
pads located on either side of the display. Then, touch the pad
next to the desired option or user setting to access the various
features.
IMPORTANT:
Press only the touch pads next to your selection on the display
screen, not the selection itself.
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.
Adjusting the refrigerator and freezer temperature controls to
a colder than recommended setting will not cool the compartments any faster.
The recommended settings 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.
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.
Turning Cooling On or Off
COOLING OFF controls all cooling functions, the control panel
and the dispenser. It does not disconnect power to the refrigerator.
Press and hold the COOLING OFF touch pad
for three seconds. The LED will light up to
indicate that cooling is off. Neither compartment
will cool.
Press the COOLING OFF touch pad again to
turn on the cooling. The LED will turn off.
NOTE: At times, the front of the refrigerator cabinet
may be warm to the touch. This condition is normal
and helps prevent moisture from condensing on the cabinet. This
condition will be more noticeable when the refrigerator is first
started, during hot weather and after excessive or lengthy door
openings.

the factory. When you first install your refrigerator, make sure the
controls are still set to the recommended set points.

menu to display the current set point of the compartment.

pad next to “Done” to lock in the setting.

or freezer compartment, use the settings listed in the chart as
a guide. The display will show the set point for approximately 3
seconds.
Press the touch pad next to “WARMER” or “COLDER” to
adjust the set point to the desired temperature. Then, press
the touch pad next to “Done” to lock in the new set point
