Proper Disposal of Your

Old Refrigerator

WARNING

Suffocation Hazard Remove doors from your old refrigerator. Failure to do so can result in death or

brain damage.

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

WARNING

Explosion Hazard

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

Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

To ensure proper ventilation for your refrigerator, allow for ¹⁄₂ in. (1.25 cm) space on each side and at the top. When installing your refrigerator next to a fixed wall, leave 2 in. (5.08 cm) minimum on each side (depending on your model) to allow for the door to swing open. If your refrigerator has an ice maker, allow extra space at the back for the water line connections.

Do not install the refrigerator near an oven, radiator, or

NOTE:

other heat source, nor in a location where the temperature will fall below 55°F (13°C).

2" (1.25 cm)

When Moving Your Refrigerator:

Your refrigerator is heavy. When moving the refrigerator for cleaning or service, be sure to protect the floor. Always pull the refrigerator straight out when moving it. Do not wiggle or “walk” the refrigerator when trying to move it, as floor damage could occur.

Cleaning before use

After you remove all of the package materials, clean the inside of your refrigerator before using it. See the cleaning instructions in the “Refrigerator Care” 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. 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.

Electrical Requirements

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet. Do not remove ground prong. Do not use an adapter. Do not use an extension cord. Failure to follow these instructions can result in

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 ampere 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.

Before performing any type of installation, cleaning, or

NOTE:

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.

Water Supply Connection

Read all directions carefully before you begin.

IMPORTANT:

If you turn the refrigerator on before the water line is

■

connected, turn the ice maker OFF. All installations must meet local plumbing code requirements.

■

■ Use copper tubing and check for leaks. Install copper tubing

only in areas where temperatures will remain above freezing.

Tools required:

wrenches or two adjustable wrenches, ¹⁄₄ in. nut driver and drill bit, hand drill or electric drill (properly grounded).

Your refrigerator dealer has a kit available with a ¹⁄₄ in.

NOTE:

(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 ³⁄₁₆ in. (4.76 mm) saddle valve which reduces water flow and clogs more easily.

Cold water supply

Connect the ice maker to a cold water line with water pressure between 30 and 120 psi. If you have questions about your water pressure, call your utility company.

Connecting to Water Line

Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

Turn OFF main water supply. Turn ON nearest faucet long

enough to clear line of water. Locate a ½ in. to 1¹⁄₄ in. (1.25 cm to 3.18 cm) vertical COLD

water pipe near the refrigerator.

NOTE:

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 need. Measure

from the connection on the lower left rear of refrigerator to the water pipe. Add 7 ft. (2.1 m) to allow for cleaning. Use ¹⁄₄ in. (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 in. hole in the cold water pipe

you have selected.

6. Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water pipe with the pipe

clamp. Be sure the outlet end is solidly in the ¹⁄₄ in. drilled hole in the water pipe and that the washer is under the pipe clamp. Tighten the packing nut. Tighten the pipe clamp screws carefully and evenly so washer makes a watertight seal. Do not overtighten or you may crush the copper tubing.

7. Slip the compression sleeve and compression nut on the

copper tubing as shown. Insert the end of the tubing into the 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 in a container or sink, and

turn ON the main water supply. Flush the tubing until water is clear. Turn OFF the shutoff valve on the water pipe. Coil the copper tubing.

Connecting to Refrigerator

1. Attach the copper tube to the valve inlet using a compression

nut and sleeve as shown. Tighten the compression nut. Do not overtighten. 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.

2. Turn shutoff valve ON.

3. Check for leaks. Tighten any connections (including

connections at the valve) or nuts that leak.

Door Closing and Alignment

Door Closing

Your refrigerator has two front adjustable rollers – one on the right and one on the left. If your refrigerator seems unsteady or you want the doors to close easier, adjust the refrigerator's tilt using the instructions below:

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

Move the refrigerator into its final position.

Remove the base grille (see “Base Grille” earlier in this

section). The two leveling screws are part of the front roller assemblies which are at the base of the refrigerator on either side.

Use a screwdriver to adjust the leveling screws. Turn the

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

Having someone push against the top of the

NOTE:

refrigerator takes some weight off the leveling screws and rollers. This makes it easier to adjust the screws.

■ Your refrigerator is designed to run more efficiently to keep

your food items at the desired temperatures and to minimize energy usage. The high efficiency compressor and fans may cause your refrigerator to run longer than your old one. You may also hear a pulsating or high-pitched sound from the compressor or fans adjusting to optimize performance.

You may hear the evaporator fan motor circulating air through

■

the refrigerator and freezer compartments. The fan speed may increase as you open the doors or add warm food.

Rattling noises may come from the flow of refrigerant, the

■

water line, or items stored on top of the refrigerator. Water dripping on the defrost heater during a defrost cycle

■

may cause a sizzling sound.

■ As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to

the refrigerant flowing in your refrigerator.

■ Contraction and expansion of the inside walls may cause a

popping noise. You may hear air being forced over the condenser by the

■

condenser fan.

■ You may hear water running into the drain pan during the

defrost cycle.

REFRIGERATOR USE

Open both doors again and check to make 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.

Replace the base grille.

Door Alignment

If the space between your doors looks uneven, you can adjust it using the instructions below:

Pry off the top hinge cover.

Loosen the top hinge screws using a ⁵⁄₁₆ in. socket or wrench.

Have someone hold the door in place or put a spacer

between the doors while you tighten the top hinge screws. Replace the top hinge cover.

Normal Sounds

Your new refrigerator may make sounds that your old one didn’t make. Because the sounds are new to you, you might be concerned about them. Most of the new sounds are normal. Hard surfaces, such as the floor, walls, and cabinets, can make the sounds seem louder. The following describes the kinds of sounds and what may be making them.

If your product is equipped with an ice maker, you will hear a

■

buzzing sound when the water valve opens to fill the ice maker for each cycle.

Ensuring Proper Air Circulation

In order to ensure proper temperatures, you need to permit airflow between the refrigerator and freezer sections. As shown in the illustration, cool air enters through the bottom of the freezer section and moves up. Most of the air then flows through the freezer section vents and recirculates under the freezer floor. The rest of the air enters the refrigerator section through the top vent.

Do not block any of these vents with food packages. If the vents are blocked, airflow will be prevented and temperature and moisture problems may occur.

IMPORTANT:

odors formed in one section will transfer to the other. You must thoroughly clean both sections to eliminate odors. To prevent odor transfer and drying out of food, wrap or cover foods tightly.

Because air circulates between both sections, any

Using the Control(s)

For your convenience, your refrigerator control(s) are preset at the factory. When you first install your refrigerator, make sure that the control(s) are still preset to the mid-settings as shown.

NOTE: To turn your refrigerator off, turn the refrigerator control to the word OFF or until the word OFF appears. Your product will not cool when the refrigerator control is set to OFF.

Mid-setting “3”

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.

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-setting(s) 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.

Turning the ice maker on/off

NOTE: Do not force the wire shutoff arm up or down.

To turn the ice maker on, simply lower the wire shutoff arm.

■

NOTE: Your ice maker has an automatic shutoff. As ice is made, the ice cubes will fill the ice storage bin and the ice cubes will raise the wire shutoff arm to the OFF (arm up) position.

To manually turn the ice maker off, lift the wire shutoff arm to

■

the OFF (arm up) position and listen for the click to make sure the ice maker will not continue to operate.

NORMAL

Increasing ice production rate

NORMAL Ice Production: In Normal ice production mode, the

■

ice maker should produce approximately 8 to 12 batches of ice in a 24-hour period. If ice is not being made fast enough, turn the Freezer Control toward a higher (colder) number in half number steps. (For example, if the control is at 3, move it to between 3 and 4.) Wait 24 hours and, if necessary, gradually turn the Freezer Control to the highest setting, waiting 24 hours between each increase.

■ MAXIMUM Ice Production (on some models): In Maximum ice

production, the ice maker should produce approximately 16 to 20 batches of ice in a 24-hour period. If your refrigerator has the maximum ice production feature, push the switch to MAX.

REMEMBER:

Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the

■

first three batches of ice produced.

■ The quality of your ice will be only as good as the quality of

the water supplied to your ice maker. Avoid connecting the ice maker to a softened water supply. Water softener chemicals (such as salt) can damage parts of the ice maker and lead to poor quality ice. If a softened water supply cannot be avoided, make sure the water softener is operating properly and is well maintained.

■ Do not store anything on top of the ice maker or in the ice

storage bin.

REFRIGERATOR FEATURES

Your model may have some or all of these features. Features that can be purchased separately as product accessories are labeled with the word “Accessory.” Not all accessories will fit all models. If you are interested in purchasing one of the accessories, please call the toll-free number on the cover or in the “Assistance or Service” section.

2. Lift the front of the shelf with the other hand to a 45° angle

and lower it slightly to release it from the upper channel of the track. Pull the shelf straight out.

To remove and replace the shelf track:

1. Remove the shelf track by lifting both sides of the track

slightly and pulling the track straight out.

2. Replace the track by guiding the track hooks into the shelf

support slots on the back wall. NOTE: Make sure that both sets of track hooks are in the

slots and that the slots are parallel with each other.

3. Push the track back and down securely into the shelf

supports.

To replace the shelf:

Make sure that both of the rear shelf slides are securely in

NOTE:

the track before letting go of the shelf. The lateral shelf may be difficult to install if the track is placed too close to the refrigerator ceiling. Reposition the track on a lower rung until the shelf can be tilted enough to easily slide into the track.

Hold the shelf at the front and tip the front at a 45° angle to

the track. Insert both of the rear shelf slides into the upper channel of

the track, and lower the front of the shelf into place.

Crispers and Meat Drawers

(on some models)

Drawers

To remove and replace the meat drawer cover (Style 2 plastic):
