with an automatic ice maker.
INSTALLATION
Do Not install the fridge-freezer
where the temperature will drop below 55°F (13°C)
or rise above 110°F (43°C). The compressor will not
be able to maintain proper temperatures inside the
fridge-freezer.
Do Not block the toe grille on the
lower front of your fridge-freezer. Sufficient air
circulation is essential for the proper operation of your
fridge-freezer.
Installation Clearances
• Allow the following clearances for ease of installation,
proper air circulation, and plumbing and electrical
connections:
Sides & Top --------------- 3/8” (1 cm)
Back ------------------------ 1” (2.5 cm)
DOOR OPENING
NOTE: If your fridge-freezer is placed with the door hinge
side against a wall, you may have to allow additional
space so the door can be opened wider.
Your fridge-freezer should be positioned to allow easy access
to a counter when removing food. For best use of drawers and
freezer baskets, the fridge-freezer should be in a position where
both the refrigerator and freezer doors can be fully opened.
TOE GRILLE INSTALLATION / REMOVAL
To Remove Toe Grille:
1. Open freezer and fresh food compartment doors.
2. Working from left side of toe grille, slip your fingers
between top of toe grille and cabinet. Gently pull
forward until first set of tabs are free. Slide your hand
down past the free tabs and pull forward again until the
second set of tabs are free. Continue this process until
all tabs are free and the toe grille can be removed. (See
graphic at top of page in right column.)
To Install Toe Grille:
1. Open freezer and
fresh food
compartment doors.
2. Line up toe grille at
base of fridge-freezer,
making sure the four
bottom tabs are
resting through holes
at base of cabinet.
3. Starting from left side

Installation
To avoid electric shock, which can cause death or severe personal injury, disconnect the fridge-
freezer from electrical power before connecting a water supply line to the fridge-freezer.
To Avoid Property Damage:
• Copper tubing is recommended for the water supply line. Water supply tubing made of ¼” plastic is not
recommended since it greatly increases the potential for water leaks. Manufacturer will not be responsible
for any damage if plastic tubing is used for supply line.
• DO NOT install water supply tubing in areas where temperatures fall below freezing.
• Chemicals from a malfunctioning softener can damage the ice maker. If the ice maker is connected to soft
water, ensure that the softener is maintained and working properly.
IMPORTANT: Ensure that your water supply line connections comply with all local plumbing codes.
Before Installing The Water Supply Line, You Will Need
• Basic Tools: adjustable wrench, flat-blade screwdriver, and PhillipsTM screwdriver
• Access to a household cold water line with water pressure between 20 and 100 psi.
• A water supply line made of ¼ inch (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 fridge-freezer to your cold water
pipe. Then add approximately 7 feet (2.1 meters), so the fridge-freezer 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.
- Connecting Ice Maker To Water Supply
To Connect Water Supply Line To Ice Maker Inlet Valve
1. Disconnect fridge-freezer from electric power source.
2. Place end of water supply line into sink or bucket. Turn ON water supply
and flush supply line until water is clear. Turn OFF water supply at shut
off valve.
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 (¼ inch).
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
fridge-freezer as shown.
7. Coil excess water supply line (about 2½ turns) behind fridge-freezer 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.
9. Reconnect fridge-freezer to electrical power source.
10. Make sure ice maker power switch is turned On (See page 14 for location of
power switch).
IMPORTANT: It takes approximately 24 hours for the ice maker to begin producing ice. Air in new plumbing lines may
cause ice maker to cycle two or three times before making a full tray of ice. New plumbing may cause ice to be
discolored or have poor flavor. Discard ice made during the first 24 hours.

Automatic Ice and Water Dispenser
ICE AND WATER DISPENSER FEATURES
The ice and water dispenser conveniently dispenses chilled water, and ice cubes or crushed ice, depending on the model.
To operate the ice dispenser, select the ice option desired using the touchpad. Press a glass against the dispensing paddle
as far up as possible to catch all ice. To stop dispensing ice, pull glass away from dispensing paddle. Do not remove the
glass until the ice has completely dispensed. (Complete instructions for the dispenser operation are attached to the inside
of the freezer door.)
How the Water Dispenser Works
The water tank, located behind the refrigerator compartment, automatically fills as water is dispensed. For proper dispenser
operation, the recommended supply water pressure should fall between 20 psi and 100 psi.
Water pressure must not exceed 100 psi. Excessive pressure may cause water filter to malfunction.
After the fridge-freezer is connected to the water supply, fill the water tank by drawing one glass of water. It may take
about 1½ minutes after activating the dispenser paddle before water begins to fill this first glass. Continue flushing the
system for 3 minutes to rid the tank and plumbing connections of any impurities. The water dispenser has a built in shutoff
device that will stop the water flow after 3 minutes of continuous use. Simply release the dispenser paddle to reset the
shutoff mechanism.
Chemicals from a malfunctioning softener can damage the ice maker. If the ice maker is connected
to soft water, ensure that the softener is maintained and working properly.
How the Ice Dispenser Works
The ice maker and container are located in the top of the freezer compartment. After the
fridge-freezer is installed properly and has cooled for several hours, the ice maker can begin
making ice within 24 hours. Air in new plumbing lines may cause the ice maker to cycle two
or three times before making a full tray of ice. Ice production is controlled by the ice maker’s
On/Off power switch. Press the switch to the “O” position to turn it Off and press it to the “I”
position to turn it On. With no usage it will take approximately 2 days to fill the ice container.
The ice maker also has a built-in wire signal arm,which automatically stops ice production
when the ice bin is full. This signal arm should not be used to manually stop the ice maker.
The ice maker produces 4 to 6 pounds of ice every 24 hours depending on usage conditions.
Ice is produced at a rate of 8 cubes every 75 to 90 minutes.
Because of new plumbing connections, the first production of ice cubes may be discoloured or have an odd flavour. These
should be discarded until the cubes made are free of discoloration and taste.
ICE DISPENSER TIPS
• Ice cubes stored too long may develop an odd flavor. Empty the ice container and ensure that the ice maker’s On/Off
power switch is turned On (set to the “I” position). The ice maker will then produce more ice.
• Occasionally shake the ice container to keep ice separated.
• Keep the ice maker’s On/Off power switch turned Off (set to the “O” position) until the fridge-freezer is connected to the
water supply or whenever the water supply is turned off.
IMPORTANT: The ice maker is turned On at the factory so it can work as soon as you install your fridge-freezer. If
you cannot connect a water supply, turn the On/Off switch to the Off (“O”) position. Otherwise, the ice maker’s valve
may be noisy when it attempts to operate without water.
If the dispensing paddle is pushed for more than 4 minutes, the dispenser motor may overload
and stop. The overload protector will reset automatically after 3 or 4 minutes.
• If a large quantity of ice is needed at one time, it is best to remove cubes directly from the ice container.
• The following sounds are normal when the ice maker is operating:
• Motor running
• Ice dropping into ice container
• Water valve opening or closing
• Turn Off the ice maker when cleaning the freezer and during vacations.
• If the ice maker will be turned off for a long period of time, you should also turn off the water supply valve.
• Ice loosening from tray
• Running water

Automatic Ice and Water Dispenser
Do not use the ice chute as a handle when
removing or replacing the ice storage bin.
Surfaces there may be sharp.
Do not put fingers up ice chute. Surfaces
there may be sharp.
CLEANING THE ICE DISPENSER
Clean the dispenser and ice container at regular intervals, particularly
before you take a vacation or move, or if the ice dispenser sticks.
1. Turn off ice production by pressing the ice maker’s On/Off switch.
2. Remove ice container by lifting up and out. Empty and carefully clean
the container with mild detergent. Rinse with clear water. Do not use
harsh or abrasive cleaners. Allow ice container to dry completely before
replacing in the freezer.
3. Remove ice chips and clean the shelf and chute that supports the ice
container.
4. Replace the ice container. Press the ice maker’s On/Off switch to
resume ice production.
IMPORTANT: When removing or replacing the ice bin, do not
rotate the auger in the ice bin. If the auger is accidentally turned,
you must realign the auger by turning it in 90° turns until the ice bin
fits into place with the drive mechanism.
Remove and empty the ice storage bin if:
1. An extended power failure (one hour or longer) causes ice cubes in
the ice storage bin to melt and freeze together and jam the dispenser
mechanism.
2. The ice dispenser is not used frequently. Ice cubes will freeze together
in the bin and jam the dispenser mechanism. Remove the ice storage
bin and shake to loosen the cubes.
NEVER use an ice pick or similar sharp instrument to break up the ice.
This could damage the ice storage bin and dispenser mechanism.

Automatic Ice and Water Dispenser
PureSource TM * Ice and Water Filter (some models)
NOTE: If you purchased a fridge-freezer with a
use and care information.
This ice and water filter system filters water to your ice maker and water dispenser. It is
PureSource
located in the upper right back corner of the fresh food compartment.
System Startup:
Water supply does not need to be turned off, however, do not use ice and water dispenser while installing filter. The filter
cartridge has already been installed in the filter housing at the factory. Refer to the
to properly fill the system with water.
Changing the Filter:
Water conditions vary throughout the world, but changing the water filter every
6 - 9 months normally will ensure the highest possible water quality. The Filter
Status light will turn red after 400 gallons of water has flowed through the ice
and water dispenser (some models). Also, if the filter has been in a fridgefreezer that has not been in use for awhile (during moving for example), change
the filter before reinstalling the fridge-freezer. The dispenser system will also
operate without filtration (with filter cartridge removed).
To change filter:
It is not necessary to turn the water supply off to change the filter.
1. Open freezer door and leave open until filter change is complete.
2. Turn the ice maker’s power switch to the Off (“O”) position (See illustration
on page 14).
3. Hold filter cup firmly, and unscrew towards left (Some water could
leak out as you remove cup. This is normal.). Filter cartridge should come
down with cup. If cartridge remains in housing, pull down gently, while
twisting filter back and forth.
4. Rinse out cup under running water.
5. The large o-ring that seals the filter system sets in the o-ring groove
down inside the cup. Should the o-ring fall out during filter cartridge

Ice and Water front filter, please read the
following use and care information. This ice and water filter system filters water to your ice maker and water
dispenser. It is located in the upper right front corner of the fresh food compartment.
System Startup:
Water supply does not need to be turned off, however, do not use ice and water dispenser while installing filter.
The filter cartridge has already been installed in the filter housing at the factory. Refer to the
Works
section to properly fill the system with water.
How The Water Dispenser
Changing the Filter:
Water conditions vary throughout the world, but changing the water filter every
6 - 9 months normally will ensure the highest possible water quality. The Filter
Status light will turn red after approximately 400 gallons of water has flowed
through the ice and water dispenser. Also, if the filter has been in a fridgefreezer that has not been in use for awhile (during moving for example), change
the filter before reinstalling the fridge-freezer. The dispenser system will also
operate without filtration (with filter cartridge removed and bypass installed).
To change filter:
It is not necessary to turn the water supply off to change the filter.
Turn the ice maker’s power switch to the Off (“O”) position (See illustration
1.
on page 14).

to release the filter from the housing. To minimize the possibility of the
filter falling out of the housing during removal, it would be best to hold the
filter as it moves out toward you.
NOTE: A small amount of water may be released during this operation.
You should have a paper towel or dish cloth handy to wipe up any water
that may drip out of the filter or housing. Two small holes near the back of
the housing have been added for any excess water to escape. It would be
best to clear away any food near this area on the top shelf in advance of
removing the filter.
3. Pull the old filter cartridge straight out of the housing.
4. Discard the old filter.
5. Remove the new filter cartridge from the packaging and insert into the

6. When the cartridge is almost in, you will feel it stop against the clip assembly
in the back of the housing. The clip assembly holds the filter cartridge
firmly in place. At this point, you will need to push firmly until the cartridge
snaps fully in place. When completely in place, the front of the filter cartridge
will be flush with the front of the housing.
Turn the ice maker’s power switch to the On (“I”) position.

8. Fill a glass with water. As you are doing this, check for leaks at the filter
housing. There will be noticeable spurts and sputters as the system pushes
the air out through the system and out the dispenser nozzle. This is normal.
9. After you have run one glass of water, continue to flush the system for
approximately 3 minutes to assure that the purest water possible is stored
in the water storage tank.

Food Storage & Energy Saving Ideas
FOOD STORAGE IDEAS
Fresh Food Storage
• The fresh food compartment should be kept between 1.1° C and 4.4° C with an optimum temperature of 2.8° C.
• Avoid overcrowding the fridge-freezer shelves. This reduces the circulation of air around the food and results in uneven
cooling.
Fruits and Vegetables
• Storage in the crisper drawers traps moisture to help preserve the fruit and vegetable quality for longer time periods.
Meat
• Raw meat and poultry should be wrapped securely so leakage and contamination of other foods or surfaces does not
occur.
Frozen Food Storage
• The freezer compartment should be kept at 0° F or lower.
• A freezer operates most efficiently when it is at least 2/3 full.
Packaging Foods for Freezing
• To minimize dehydration and quality deterioration, use aluminum foil, 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.
• Do not refreeze meat that has completely thawed.
Loading the Freezer
• 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 fridge-freezer in the coolest part of the room, out of direct
sunlight, and away from heating ducts or registers. Do not place the fridgefreezer next to heat-producing appliances such as a cooker, range, oven,
or dishwasher. If this is not possible, a section of cabinetry or an added
layer of insulation between the two appliances will help the fridge-freezer
operate more efficiently.
• Level the fridge-freezer so that the doors close tightly.
• Refer to this Use & Care Manual for the suggested temperature control
settings.
• Do not overcrowd the fridge-freezer or block cold air vents. Doing so
causes the fridge-freezer to run longer and use more energy.
• Cover foods and wipe containers dry before placing them in the
fridge-freezer. This cuts down on moisture build-up inside the unit.
• Organize the fridge-freezer to reduce door openings. Remove as many
items as needed at one time and close the door as soon as possible.

Normal Operating Sounds & Sights
UNDERSTANDING THE SOUNDS YOU MAY HEAR
Your new high-efficiency fridge-freezer may make unfamiliar
sounds. Most often, these are all normal sounds that soon
become familiar to you. They indicate your fridge-freezer is
operating as designed. Hard surfaces, such as vinyl or wood
floors, walls, and kitchen cabinets may make sounds more
noticeable. The following list describes some of the most
common sounds you may hear, and what is causing them.
NOTE: Rigid foam insulation is very energy efficient,
but is not a sound insulator.
A. Evaporator
The flow of refrigerant through the evaporator may
create a boiling or gurgling sound.
B. Evaporator Fan
You may hear air being forced through the fridge-freezer
by the evaporator fan.
C. Defrost Heater
During defrost cycles, water dripping onto the defrost
heater may cause a hissing or sizzling sound. After
defrosting, a popping sound may occur.
IMPORTANT: During the automatic defrost cycle, you
may notice a red glow in the vents on the back wall of
your freezer compartment. This is normal during the
defrost cycle.
D. Automatic Ice Maker
If your fridge-freezer is equipped with an automatic ice
maker, you will hear ice cubes falling into the ice bin.
E. Cold Control & Automatic Defrost Control
May create minimal mechanical sounds.
F. Condenser Fan
You may hear air being forced through the condenser
by the condenser fan.
G. Compressor
Modern, high-efficiency compressors operate much
faster than older models. The compressor may have a
high-pitched hum or pulsating sound.
H. Water Valve
If your fridge-freezer is equipped with an automatic ice
maker, you will hear a buzzing sound as the water
valve opens to fill the ice maker during each cycle.
IMPORTANT: Your ice maker is turned On at the factory
so it can work as soon as you install your fridge-freezer.
To ensure proper function of your ice maker, connect a
water supply immediately or turn the On/Off switch to
the Off (“O”) position.
I. Drain Pan
You may hear water running into the drain pan during
the defrost cycle.
(not removable)
J. Condenser
May create minimal sounds from forced air.
K. Motorised Damper
May produce a light humming or clicking during
operation.
20
Care & Cleaning
Keep your fridge-freezer clean to prevent odour build-up. Wipe up any spills immediately and clean both sections at least
twice a year. Never use any type of scouring pads, brushes, abrasive cleaners or strong alkaline solutions on any surface.
Do not wash any removable parts in a dishwasher.
cleaning.
• When moving the fridge-freezer, pull straight out. Do not shift the fridge-freezer from side to side as this
may damage the floor. Be careful not to move the fridge-freezer beyond the plumbing connections.
• Damp objects stick to cold metal surfaces. Do not touch refrigerated surfaces with wet or damp hands.
• Never us e CHLORIDE to clean stainless steel.
NOTES:
• If you set your temperature controls to turn off cooling, power to lights and other electrical components continues
until you unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
• Do not use razor blades or other sharp instruments which can scratch the appliance surface when removing
adhesive labels. Any glue left from tape or labels can be removed with a mixture of warm water and mild
detergent, or, touch the glue residue with the sticky side of tape you have already removed. Do not remove the
serial plate.
Always unplug the electrical power cord from the wall outlet before
