DANGER!
RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT
PROPERDISPOSAL OF THE REFRIGERATOR
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 the instructions below to help prevent accidents.
Before You Throw Away Your Old Refrigerator or Freezer:
Take off the doors and discard separately.
Leavethe shelves in place so that children may
not easily climb inside.

Refrigerants
All refrigeration products contain refrigerants, which under federal law must be removed prior
to product disposal. If you are getting rid of an old refrigeration product, check with the company
handling the disposal about what to do.

WARNING!
HOW TOCONNECTELECTRICITY
The power cord of this appliance is equipped with an earthing plug which mates with a standard
earthed wall outlet to minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard from this appliance.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly earthed.
Where an unearthed wall outlet is encountered, it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly earthed wall outlet.
The refrigerator should always be plugged into
its own individual electrical outlet.
This provides the best performance
and also prevents overloading house
wiring circuits which could cause a fire hazard from overheated wires. Please refer to the rating plate on
the refrigerator for the correct voltage, wattage and frequency. If the product plug does not fit your outlet,
the product should be fitted with a new plug.
Insureproperearthing existsbeforeusing. ]_Xl
Earthingplug_
IMPORTANT:Therefitting of electric plugs and cables should bedone bbta qualified technician orservice agent. In some countries the refitting of electric plugs and cables is on!g permitted when the work is completed bg a qualified technician.
If the power supply cord becomes damaged, it must
be replaced by a qualified service agent in order to avoid a safety hazard.
Never unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the
power cord. Always grip plug firmly and pull straight out from the outlet.
Repair or replace immediately all power cords that
have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage
along its length or at either end. When moving the refrigerator away from the wall,
be careful not to roll over or damage the power cord.
Mains lead replacement
If the mains lead on your refrigerator needs replacing
at any time, it must be replaced by a special lead which is obtainable from your local dealer. A charge
will be made for the replacement of the mains lead if you have damaged the lead.
The refrigerator must be positioned so that the plug is accessible.

About
CiimateKeeper2. TM (on some models)
How it Works
TheCfimateKeeper2TM isthe industrg's
most advanced refrigeration sgstem, deliveringoptimum temperature and
humiditg performance to keepfood garden
fresh longer and reduce freezer burn,while
maintaining efficiencg.
TheClimateKeeper2 sgstem features two
evaporators-one for the refrigerator and one for the freezer.
This providestwo separate cooling sgstems,
and separates the airflow between the fresh
food andfreezercompartments during normal
coolingoperations.*
This ensuresthat the humiditg levelsin the freshfood compartment are significantlg
higher than ina conventional sgstem,** allowing
fresh produce and other unsealedfoods to retain their moisture content and freshnesslonger.
Moisturesensitivefoods such as fresh fruit,
Whenopening the refrigerator door during TurboCool,the fans wi!!continueto runif theg
havecgcled on.
salads,rice,etc.,can now be stored on open shelveswithout excessivemoisture loss.Dueto
the higher humiditg inthe refrigerator,gou mag on occasion experience fog or small amounts of
moisture in the refrigerator compartment. This is normal and mag come and go asdifferent food
loadsand environmental conditions change. Wipe drg with a paper towel if desired.
The separateairflow sgstem minimizesthe mixing
of air between thetwo compartments, which reducesfresh food odor transfer to improve
the taste of ice.
The ClimateKeeper2 sgstem also reduces
the number of defrosting cgcles in the freezer evaporator,therebg reducing freezer burn.

Icemaker
Automatic Icemaker
The icemakerwill produce sevencubes
per cycle-approximately 100-!30 cubes in a 24-hour period, depending onfreezer compartment temperature, room temperature,
number of door openings and other use conditions.
Toaccess the icemaker: Pullthe shelf above
Green, the icedrawer straight out. Always be sure PowerLight _rArm to replacethe shelf.
If the refrigerator isoperated before the water
.... connection ismade to the icemaker,set the
power switch inthe O position.
When the refrigerator has been connected to the water supply, set the power switch
to the I position. Youwill hear a buzzingsound each time
the icemakerfillswith water. Theicemaker willfillwith water when it cools
to - 10°C.Anewly-installedrefrigeratormay take
12to 2/4hoursto begin making icecubes.
Pull the upper freezer shelf straight out to access the icemaker. Always be sure to replace the shelf The
shelf can be used for storage.
Throw away the first few batches of ice to allow the water line to clear.
Besure nothing interfereswith the sweep of the feelerarm.

water supply only. Installation of the icemaker must be done bg a qualified service technician.
Special note about ClimateKeeper2 T"dispenser
models:
Dispenser models have a tilt-out ice bin.
The bin can be tilted out asshown in
the illustrations, and it will hold itself up while you take ice out or turn the icemaker power switch on and off. Besure to put the bin back in place before closing the door.
_To restoreyour icelevelfrom an empty bucket
stage,the following stepsare recommended:
O 12 hours after the first batch of icehasfallen
intothe bin,dispense 3 to 4 cubes.
O After an additional 6hours,dispense3 to/4
cubes again.
These stepswill restore your ice level
in the shortest amount of time.
On dispenser models with a tilt-out ice bin, to access ice or reach the power switch:
When the bin fills to the levelof the feelerarm, the icemaker will stop producing ice. It isnormal
for severalcubes to bejoined together.If ice is
not usedfrequently, old ice cubes will become cloudy,taste stale and shrink.
If icecubesget stuckin the icemaker,the green power lightwill blink.Tocorrect this, set the
power switch to O and remove the cubes. Setthe power switch to I to restart the icemaker.
After the icemaker hasbeenturned onagain, there will bea delay of about/45 minutes before the icemaker resumes operation.

Care and cleaning of the refrigerator.
Cleaning the Inside
Tohelp prevent odors, leave an open box
of baking soda in the fresh food and freezer compartments.
Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning.
If this is not practical, wring excessmoisture out of sponge or cloth when cleaning around
switches, lights or controls. Usewarm water and baking sodasolution-
about atablespoon (15ml) of baking soda
to aquart (1liter)of water.This both cleans
and neutralizes odors. Rinseand wipe drg.
Behind the Refrigerator
Becareful when moving the refrigerator away from the wall. Alltupes of floor coverings can be
damaged, particularly cushioned coveringsand those with embossedsurfaces.
Useof ang cleaning solution other than that which is recommended, especiallg those that
contain petroleum distillates, can crack or damage the interior of the refrigerator.
Avoid cleaning cold glass shelves with hot
water because the extreme temperature difference mag cause them to break. Handle
glass shelves careful!_j.Bumping tempered glass can cause it to shatter.
Do not wash an_j plastic refrigerator parts in the dishwasher.
Thechi!!/thaw trag is dishwasher safe.
When pushing the refrigerator back, make sure
you don't rol! over the power cord or icemaker supplg line.
Pullthe refrigerator straight out and return it to position by pushing it straight in. Moving
the refrigerator in a side direction may result in damage to the floor covering or refrigerator.
Preparing for Vacation
Forlong vacationsor absences,remove food and unplug the refrigerator.Cleanthe interior
with a baking soda solution of 15 ml of baking soda to I liter of water. Leavethe doors open.
Setthe icemaker power switch to the 0 position and shut offthe water supply to the refrigerator.
Preparing to Move
Secureall looseitems such as shelvesand drawers by taping them securely in place
to preventdamage. When using a hand truck to move
the refrigerator,do not restthe front or back of the refrigerator against the hand truck.

Installation Instructions
INSTALLING THE WATER LINE
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
The water line installation is not warranted by the
refrigerator or icemaker manufacturer. Follow these recommendations carefully to minimize the risk of
expensive water damage. Water hammer (water banging in the pipes)in house
plumbing can cause damage to refrigerator parts and lead to water leakage or flooding. Call a qualified plumber to correct water hammer before installing
the water supply line to the refrigerator. To prevent burns and product damage, do not hook
up the water line to the hot water line.
If you use your refrigerator before connecting the water line, make sure the icemaker power switch is in the 0 loft} position.
Do not install the icemaker tubing in areas where temperatures fall below freezing.
When using any electrical device (such as a power drill) during installation, be sure the device is insulated or wired in a manner to prevent the hazard of electric
shock. All installations must be in accordance with local
plumbing code requirements.
Installation of the icemaker must be done bg a qualified service technician.

Normal operating sounds.
Newer refrigerators sound different from older refrigerators. Modem refrigerators have more features and use newer technology.
Do gou hear what i hear? These sounds are normal.
HUMMM.,, WHIB!
-- WHOOSH,..
m The new high efficiency compressor may run faster
and longer than your old refrigerator and you may hear a high-pitched hum or pulsating sound while it is operating.
m Sometimes the refrigerator runsfor an extended period,
especiallywhen the doors are openedfrequently. This means that the Frost Guard'" feature is working to
prevent freezer burn and improve food preservation.
m Youmay hear a whooshing sound when the doors close.
Thisisdueto pressureequalizing within the refrigerator.
CLICKS, POPS,
CRACKS and CHIRPS
m You may hear cracking or popping sounds when
the refrigerator is first plugged in. This happens as the refrigerator cools to the correct temperature.
m Electronic dampers click open and closed to provide
optimal cooling and energy savings.
m The compressor may cause a clicking or chirping
sound when attempting to restart (this could take up to 5 minutes).
m The electronic control board may cause a clicking
sound when relays activate to control refrigerator components.
m Expansion and contraction of cooling coils during and
after defrost can cause a cracking or popping sound.

Installing the Water Line
For Australian and New Zealand installation, read these instructions completely and carefully.
Before You Begin
,:IMPORTANT: Government legislation and Codes
in most States and Territories of Australia require installation by a licensed plumber.
The installation must conform to Australian
Standard AS3500.! Water supply.
_Water hammer (water bonging in the pipes)
in house plumbing con cause damage to the refrigerator ports and lead to water leakage
or flooding. Call a qualified plumber to correct water hammer before installing the water supply
line to the refrigerator.
Shut Off the Main Water Supply
For models fitted with an icemaker, a water supply
kit (containing flexible tubing and fittings)is supplied with the refrigerator.
The water pressure must be between 138 and
827 kPoon models without o water filter fitted and between 275 and 827 kPa on models with
a water filter fitted.
Turn Offthe water and open a low tap to drain
the water from the pipe. Complying with the plumbing codes, install a suitable
branch fitting (not supplied) to the cold water supply. Extend the branch to a suitable location adjacent
to the refrigerator when it is located in its operating position. Terminate the branch with a shutoff valve
(not supplied). IMPORTANT:The shut-off valve should be accessible
(such as in an adjacent cupboard, as close to the wall as possible)when the refrigerator is in its normal operating position.
,:To prevent burns and refrigerator damage, do not
hook up the water line to the hot water line.
If you use your refrigerator before connecting the
water line, make sure the icemaker power switch is set to the O position.
Do not install the icemaker tubing inareas where the temperatures fall below freezing.
If your water supply pressure is higher than 690 kPa
during the day (ifso, it may reach higher levels at night), install a suitable Pressure limiting valve
(not supplied), after the shut-off valve, making sure the "flow arrows" on the body of the device face the same direction as the water flow.
If necessary, assemble a suitable fitting (not supplied) to the up-stream end of the shutoff valve (or pressure limiting valve) for attachment of the fitting supplied
with the water supply kit. NOTE:PTFEtape should be used for a water tight seal
when assembling all the above fittings.
Donot turn the water supply On at this time.
55
Page 36
Special Installation Instructions for Australia and NewZealand.
Installing the Water Line(cont.)
Connecting the Tubing to the Shutoff Valve
Attach the fitting with the male thread supplied with the water supply kit to the shutoff valve (or pressure
limiting valve, if fitted), and tighten. NOTE:PTFEtape should be used for a water tight
seal when assembling all the above fittings. Route the tubing through a hole drilled in the side
of the cupboard as close to the wall as possible.
Make sure there issufficient length of tubing [approximately 2/40 cm coiled into 5 turns of
approximately 25 cm] to allow the refrigerator to move out from the wa!! after installation.
Connecting the Tubing to the Refrigerator
Before making the connection to the refrigerator, be
sure the power is turned OFFand the power cord is
disconnected from the Power Outlet.
If your refrigerator does not include a water filter,
we recommend installing one in the water line
near the refrigerator if your water supply has sand or particles that could clog the screen of the
refrigerator's water valve. Remove the refrigerator access cover.
Insert and push the end of the tubing into the fitting
as far as possible. With the free end of the tubing located in a suitable
container, turn the main water supply
On and flush out the tubing until the water is clear. Turn Off the shutoff valve after approximately 1 litre
of water has been flushed through the tubing.
Attach the fitting with the female thread supplied
with the water supply kit to the water valve and
tighten.
Insert and push the end of the tubing into the fitting
as far as possible.
Fasten the tubing into the clamp provided to hold
it in position. You may need to pry open the clamp.
Remove the plastic flexible cap from the water valve (refrigerator connection).
56
Page 37
Turn the Water On
Turn the water On at the shutoff valve. Tighten any connection that leaks.
Replace the access cover and tighten all screws (on some models).
Plug In the Refrigerator
Plug in the refrigerator to the Power Outlet
and turn On. IMPORTANT:Always operate the Refrigerator from
a power source of the same Voltage, Frequency and
Rating as indicated on the Refrigerator Identification Plate. Operate the Refrigerator from an Earthed
(Grounded) 5 Pin Power Outlet fully accessible when the refrigerator is located in its normal operating
position. Arrange the coil of tubing so that it does not
vibrate against the back of the refrigerator or against the wall.
Start the Icemaker
Set the icemaker power switch to the I position.
The icemaker will not begin to operate until it reaches
its operating temperature of -9°¢ or below. It will then begin operation automatically if the icemaker
power switch is in the I position. NOTE:In lower water pressure conditions, the water
valve may turn on up to 5 times to make sure enough water reaches the icemaker.
Pushthe refrigerator back to the wall, making sure
the power cord and the water line tubing are not
trapped, entangled or squashed bu the refrigerator
(including the wheels) or wall.
