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 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 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.

» Ifthepowercord is damaged, it should be replaced bythe

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.

ICE ÄND 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.

ikCAUTION Water pressure rnuM nPt exceed 100 lbs. Excessive pressure may cause water filter to malfunction.

After the refrigerator is connected to the water supply, fill the water tank by drawing one glass of water. It may take about

V/2 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.

^CAUTION

to soft water, ensure thatthe softener is maintained and working properly.

Cliemicafs.from a malfunctioping softener can damage the ice maker. If the. ice maker isconnected.'

......................■.■.

....................................

How the Ice Dispenser Works

The ice maker and container are located in the top of the freezer compartment. After the

refrigerator 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 discolored or have an odd flavor. 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 refrigerator 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 workas soon as you .install your, refrigerator. If you
cannot connect a water supply, turn the Qn/Off switch to the Off ("O’") position. Otherwise, the ice maker’s valve
may be noisy when it attempts to operate without water. ^

ik CAUTION

-.'If the dispensing paddle.is pushed for more than 4 .minutes, .the 'dispenser motor:may overload

...

r

...and .stop.Theover!o.ad.protector will reset automatically alters 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 loosening from tray

• Ice dropping into ice container ® Running water
» 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.

1 An extended power failure (one hour or longer) causes icecubes 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.

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 refrigerator
that has not been in use for awhile (during moving for example), change the
filter before reinstalling the refrigerator. 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
replacement, simply place it back in the groove prior to screwing the cup
back in place. If the o-ring becomes damaged, you will need to order one
from the Customer Care Center.

6. Discard old filter cartridge.

7. Remove new filter cartridge from packaging and place in cup. The end
with the small o-ring should be up, out of the cup.

8. Screw cup, with filter, back onto housing. Do Not Use Wrench To Reinstall
Cup. Filter cartridge will self-align as cup is tightened. Be sure cup is
completely tightened with
Tighten Past Stop.

9. Turn the ice maker’s power switch to the On (“I”) position.

10. Check for leaks. Open refrigerator door. Wipe any water droplets from the
filter cup. Fill a glass with water. If there is a leak, unscrew filter cup, and
reinsert the filter cartridge. Check placement of large O-ring. Reinstall
filter cup, making certain it is tightened completely.

11. To condition filter system and purge air from water line, fill a glass with
water. Continue flushing the system for approximately 3 minutes to assure
that the purest water possible is stored in the water tank.

Food Storage & Energy . Sawing..ideas

□

FOOD STORAGE IDEAS

Fresh Food Storage

• The fresh food compartment should be kept between 34° F and 40° F with an optimum temperature of 37° F.
» Avoid overcrowding the refrigerator 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 orairtight 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 refrigeratorin the coolest part of the room, out of direct sunlight,
and away from heating ducts or registers. Do not place the refrigerator
next to heat-producing appliances such as a 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 refrigerator operate more
efficiently.

• Level the refrigerator so that the doors close tightly.

• Refer to this Use & Care Manual for the suggested temperature control
settings.

• Do not overcrowd the refrigerator or block cold air vents. Doing so causes
the refrigerator to run longer and use more energy.

• Cover foods and wipe containers dry before placing them in the
refrigerator. This cuts down on moisture build-up inside the unit.

® Organize the refrigerator to reduce door openings. Remove as many

items as needed at one time and close the door as soon as possible.

Wormaiy-Operating SomdS:'&'SightS:

UNDERSTANDING THE SOUNDS YOU MAY HEAR

Your new high-efficiency refrigerator may make unfamiliar
sounds. Most often, these are ail normal sounds that soon
become familiar to you. They indicate your refrigerator 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,

ybut 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 refrigerator

by th e e vapo rato r f an.

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 ■autom.ati.c de.frost.cycle, -you .

D. Automatic Ice Maker

If your refrigerator 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 Waive

If your refrigerator 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.

■ .■'.IM.P.ORTAN.T:'Your ice maker is turned On atthe.fac.to.ry'.'''.:
y:'so.'it.ca.n work as,soon asyo.u install.your'.refrigerator.'-'.

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 (not removable)

You may hear water running into the drain pan during
the defrost cycle.

J. Condenser
