IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING WARNING
WARNING
WARNING WARNING
Please Read All Instructions Before Using This
Refrigerator.
FOR YOUR SAFETY
•Do not store or use gasoline, or other flammable liquids
in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. Read product
labels for warnings regarding flammability and other
hazards.
•Do not operate the refrigerator in the presense of
explosive fumes.
•Avoid contact with any moving parts of automatic ice
maker.

contact with other appliances or furniture.
CHILD SAFETY
Destroy or recycle the carton, plastic bags, and any exterior
wrapping material immediately after the refrigerator is

Cartons covered with rugs, bedspreads, plastic sheets or
stretch wrap may become airtight chambers, and can quickly

WARNING WARNING
WARNING
WARNING WARNING
These Guidelines Must Be Followed To Ensure That Safety
Mechanisms In This Refrigerator Will Operate Properly.
ELECTRICAL INFORMATION
•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 threeprong 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.
PROPER DISPOSAL OF YOUR REFRIGERATOR OR
FREEZER
Risk of child entrapment
Child entrapment and
suffocation are not problems of
the past. Junked or abondoned
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.
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 wall outlet.

instructions for your model. Use the refrigerator only as
instructed in this Use & Care Manual. Before starting the
refrigerator, follow these important first steps.

Do Not use an extension cord or an adapter plug.
•If possible, place the refrigerator out of direct sunlight
and away from the range, dishwasher or other heat

INSTALLATION
CAUTION CAUTION
CAUTION
CAUTION CAUTION

temperatures inside the refrigerator.
Do Not block the toe grille on the lower front of your
refrigerator. Sufficient air circulation is essential for the
proper operation of your refrigerator.
DOOR OPENING
Your refrigerator should be positioned to allow easy access to
a counter when removing food. To make this possible, the
direction in which the doors open can be reversed. See
Removal & Reversal Instructions

CONNECTING HOUSEHOLD WATER SUPPLY TO REFRIGERATOR
WARNING WARNING
WARNING
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.
CAUTION CAUTION
CAUTION
CAUTION CAUTION
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
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 (see ice
maker front cover for ON/OFF position of arm).
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 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.
