WARNINGWARNING
WARNING
WARNINGWARNING
You must follow these guidelines to ensure that your refrigerator’s safety mechanisms are
operating correctly.
• The refrigerator must be plugged into its own dedicated 115 Volt, 60 Hz.,
AC-only electric outlet. The power cord of the appliance is equipped with a
three-prong grounding plug for your protection against electrical shock
hazards. It must be plugged directly into a properly grounded three-prong
receptacle. The receptacle must be installed in accordance with local codes
and ordinances. Consult a qualified electrician. Do not use an extension
cord or adapter plug.
• If the power cord is damaged, it should be replaced by
the manufacturer, service technician or a qualified
person to prevent any risk.
• 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 outlet controlled by a wall
switch or pull cord to prevent the refrigerator from being turned off
accidentally.
• Avoid connecting refrigerator to a Ground Fault Interruptor (GFI) circuit.

Connecting The W ater Supply
ABOUT YOUR REFRIGERA TOR’S WATER SUPPLY
The automatic ice & water dispenser on your refrigerator requires a permanent
water supply to function correctly. During installation, you (or a service
professional) establish this water supply by connecting a copper tube from your
household water system to a valve at the rear of the refrigerator.
You may have already followed the directions in the Installation Instructions to
connect the water supply. This information is repeated here for future reference if
you need to relocate your refrigerator.

To avoid property damage:
• Use copper tubing for the water supply line (plastic tubing is more
likely to leak). Manufacturer is not responsible for any damage if
plastic tubing is used for supply line.
• Ensure water supply complies with local plumbing codes.
• For proper dispenser operation, recommended water supply pressure
should fall between 20 psi and 100 psi. Excessive pressure may cause
water filter to malfunction.
9
What you will need:
• Access to a cold water line with pressure of 20-100 psi.
• Copper tubing with ¼-inch (6.4mm) OD. Length for this tubing is the distance
from the rear of the refrigerator to your household water supply line plus 7
feet (2.1 meters).
• A shut-of f valve for the connection between your household water line and
the refrigerator supply line.
Do not use a self-piercing shut-off valve.
• A compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) for the water supply connection at the
rear of your refrigerator.

Connecting The W ater Supply
To connect the water supply to the rear of your refrigerator:
1 Ensure that the refrigerator is not plugged in.
2 Flush the supply line until water is clear by placing the end of the copper tube
in a sink or bucket and opening the shut-off valve.
3 Unscrew the plastic cap from the water valve inlet at
the rear of your refrigerator. Discard the cap.
4 Slide the brass compression nut, then the ferrule
(sleeve) onto copper tube.
5 Push the copper tube into water valve inlet as far as it
will go (1/4 inch).
6 Slide the ferrule (sleeve) into valve and finger-tighten
the compression nut onto valve. Tighten another half
turn with a wrench. Do not over-tighten.
7 Secure the copper tube to your refrigerator’s rear panel
with a steel clamp and screw (see illustration).
8 Coil the excess copper tubing (about 2½ turns) behind
your refrigerator as shown. Arrange coiled tubing to
avoid vibration or wear against other surfaces.
9 Open water supply shut-off valve and tighten any
connections that leak.

Controls & Settings
ALLOWING COOLING TIME BEFORE USE
To ensure reliable food storage, allow your refrigerator and freezer to operate with
the doors closed for 8 to 12 hours before placing food inside. During this cooling
period, you do not need to adjust the controls, which are preset at the factory.
SETTING COOLING TEMPERA TURES
Your refrigerator comes with a state-of-the-art electronic digital control system. The
system’s control panel is located at the top of the the fresh food compartment.
The two digital displays on the left half of the control panel
indicate the current temperatures of your freezer and fresh
food compartments.
To adjust the temperature to a higher or lower setting, press the Up or Down
Arrow button closest to the display. The first time you press the button, the display
shows the last setting you entered. Each press of the button after that increments
the setting by one degree.
The display shows your new setting momentarily, then changes back to the current
temperature. (Refer to page 13 for more about temperature settings.)
