labels for warnings regarding flammability and other
hazards.
•Do not operate the refrigerator in the presence of
explosive fumes.
•Avoid contact with any moving parts of automatic ice

Cartons covered with rugs, bedspreads, plastic sheets or
stretch wrap may become airtight chambers, and can quickly
cause suffocation.
PROPER DISPOSAL OF YOUR REFRIGERATOR OR
FREEZER
Risk of child entrapment
Child entrapment and suffocation
are not problems of the past.
Junked or abandoned refrigerators
or freezers are still dangerous –
even if they will sit for “just a few
days.” If you are getting rid of your
old refrigerator or freezer, please
follow the instructions below to
help prevent accidents.
Before you throw away your old refrigerator/ freezer:
•Remove doors.
•Leave shelves in place so children may not easily climb
inside.
•Have refrigerant removed by a qualified service
technician.
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. Avoid
connecting refrigerator to a Ground Fault Interruptor (GFI)
circuit. Do not use an extension cord or adapter plug.
•If the power cord is damaged, it should be replaced by an
authorized service technician 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 electrical outlet controlled by a
wall switch or pull cord to prevent the refrigerator from
being turned off accidentally.

If your refrigerator 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 refrigerator should be positioned to allow easy access to a
counter when removing food. For best use of drawers and freezer
baskets, the refrigerator should be in a position where both the
refrigerator and freezer doors can be fully opened.
LEVELING
All four corners of your refrigerator must rest firmly on a solid floor.
Your refrigerator is equipped with adjustable front rollers to help level
your unit. To ensure proper door seal and assist door closing, the
refrigerator should be tilted 1/4” (6 mm), front to back.

WARNING WARNING
To avoid electric shock, which can cause death or
severe personal injury, disconnect the refrigerator from
electrical power before connecting a water supply line
to the refrigerator.

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.
To Connect Water Supply Line To Ice Maker Inlet Valve
1.Disconnect refrigerator 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 shutoff 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 refrigerator as shown.
7.Coil excess water supply line (about 2½ turns) behind
refrigerator 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 refrigerator to electrical power source.
10. To turn ice maker on, lower wire signal arm (side mounted)
or set the ice maker’s On/Off power switch to the “I”
position (rear mounted).

Ensure that your water supply line connections comply with
all local plumbing codes.
Before Installing The Water Supply Line, You Will Need:
•Access to a household cold water line with water pressure
between 30 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 refrigerator to your cold water
pipe. Then add approximately 7 feet (2.1 meters), so the
refrigerator 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.

MECHANICAL TEMPERATURE CONTROLS
COOL DOWN PERIOD
To ensure safe food storage, allow the refrigerator to operate with the doors closed for at least 8 to 12 hours before loading it with
food.
REFRIGERATOR & FREEZER CONTROLS
NOTE
When changing control settings, wait 24 hours for the temperature to stabilize before making additional changes.
TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT
•After 24 hours, adjust the controls as needed. Adjust temperatures gradually; move the knob in small increments, allowing the
temperature to stabilize.
•For colder temperatures, turn the knob towards Colder.
•For warmer temperatures, turn the knob towards Cold.
To maintain temperatures, a fan circulates air in the refrigerator and freezer compartments. For good circulation, do not block cold air
vents with food items.
* IMPORTANT
Turning the Freezer and Fresh Food Controls to “0” turns off the
compressor and prevents your refrigerator from cooling, but does not
disconnect the power to the light bulb and other electrical components.
To turn off power to your refrigerator you must unplug the power cord
from the electrical outlet.

ALLOWING COOLING TIME BEFORE USE
To ensure safe food storage, allow your refrigerator to operate with the doors closed for at least 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 TEMPERATURES
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 settings or temperatures of your freezer and fresh food
compartments. The models with a 2-digit temperature display are for reference only, and do not display the current accurate compartment
temperature. Should you desire to see what the current accurate temperature is, place a separate thermometer inside the freezer or fresh
food compartment in the desired location.
