REFRIGERATOR SAFETY INFORMATION

This is the safety alert symbol. This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others. All safety

messages will follow the safety alert symbol and the word “DANGER”, “WARNING”, or “CAUTION”. These words are defined as:

DANGER

Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.

WARNING

Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.

CAUTION

Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

 This refrigerator must be properly installed and located in

accordance with the Installation Instructions before it is used.

 Unplug the refrigerator before making repairs, replacing a

light bulb, or cleaning. Note: Power to the refrigerator cannot be disconnected by any setting on the control panel. Note: Repairs must be performed by a qualified service professional.

 Replace all parts and panels before operating.  Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and

liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

To reduce the risk of fire, explosion, electric shock, or injury when using your

refrigerator follow these basic safety precautions:

 Because of potential safety hazards under certain

conditions, we strongly recommend against the use of an extension cord. However, if you must use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL-listed (in the United States) or a CSA certified (in Canada), 3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord having a grounding type plug and outlet and that the electrical rating of the cord be 15 amperes (minimum) and 120 volts.

 To prevent suffocation and entrapment hazards to

children, remove the fresh food and freezer doors from any refrigerator before disposing of it or discontinuing its use.

 Do not allow children to climb, stand or hang on the door

handles or the shelves in the refrigerator. They could seriously injure themselves.

CAUTION

 Do not clean glass shelves or covers with warm water

when they are cold. Glass shelves and covers may break if exposed to sudden temperature changes or impact, such as bumping or dropping. Tempered glass is designed to shatter into many small pieces if it breaks.

 Keep fingers out of the “pinch point” areas; clearances

between the doors and between the doors and cabinet are necessarily small. Be careful closing doors when children are in the area.

To reduce the risk of injury when using your refrigerator, follow these basic

safety precautions.

 Do not touch the cold surfaces in the freezer compartment

when hands are damp or wet, skin may stick to these extremely cold surfaces.

 Do not refreeze frozen foods which have thawed

completely.

 In refrigerators with automatic icemakers, avoid contact

with the moving parts of the ejector mechanism, or with the heating element that releases the cubes. Do not place fingers or hands on the automatic ice making mechanism while the refrigerator is plugged in.

SAFETY (CONT.)

INSTALLATION

WARNING

Explosion Hazard.

Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from refrigerator. Failure to do so can result in fire, explosion, or death.

CONNECTING ELECTRICITY

WARNING

Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet Do not remove the ground prong Do not use an adapter

Electrical Shock Hazard.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded.

The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a standard 3-prong (grounding) 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 grounded.

Where a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet. Do not use an adapter.

The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating that matches the rating plate.

A 115 Volt AC, 60 Hz, 15- or 20-amp fused, grounded electrical supply is required. This provides the best performance and also prevents overloading house wiring circuits which could cause a fire hazard from overheated wires.

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.

PROPER DISPOSAL OF YOUR OLD REFRIGERATOR

WARNING

Remove fresh-food and freezer doors from the refrigerator, prior to disposal. Failure to do so can result in child entrapment which can lead to death or brain damage.

IMPORTANT:

Suffocation and child entrapment hazard.

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 fresh food and freezer doors.

■ Leave the 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.

READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.

Ice Storage Bin

Important Facts About Your Dispenser

 Do not add ice from trays or bags to the storage bin. It may

not crush or dispense well.

 Avoid overfilling glass with ice and use of narrow glasses.

Backed-up ice can jam the chute or cause the door in the chute to freeze shut. If ice is blocking the chute, poke it through with a wooden spoon.

 Beverages and foods should not be quick-chilled in the ice

storage bin. Cans, bottles or food packages in the storage bin may cause the icemaker or auger to jam.

 To keep dispensed ice from missing the glass, put the glass

close to, but not touching, the dispenser opening.

 Some crushed ice may be dispensed even though you

selected Cubed. This happens occasionally when a few cubes have been left in the crusher.

Rotate

Drive Mechanism

 After crushed ice is dispensed, some water may drip from the

chute.

 Sometimes a small mound of snow will form on the door in

the ice chute. This condition is normal and usually occurs when you have dispensed crushed ice repeatedly. The snow will eventually evaporate.

 The first glass of water dispensed may be warmer than the

following ones. This is normal.

 Dispensed water is not ice cold. For colder water, simply add

crushed ice or cubes before dispensing water.

 To eliminate drips on the drip tray, tilt the glass in slightly

when dispensing water.

CAUTION

of the ejector mechanism, or with the heating element (located on the bottom of the ice maker) that releases the cubes. Do not place fingers or hands on the automatic ice making mechanism while the refrigerator is plugged in.

Avoid contact with the moving parts

 You may hear a buzzing sound each time the icemaker fills

with water.

 Throw away the first few batches of ice to allow the water line

to clear.

 Be sure nothing interferes with the sweep of the feeler arm.  When the bin fills to the level of the feeler arm, the icemaker

will stop producing ice. It is normal for several cubes to be joined together.

 If ice is not used frequently, old ice cubes will become cloudy,

taste stale and shrink.

NOTE: In homes with lower-than-average water pressure, you may hear the icemaker cycle multiple times when making one batch of ice.

About the water filter cartridge. (On some models.)

Water filter cartridge

The water filter cartridge is located behind the upper cover at the top of the refrigerator.

When to replace the filter on models with a replacement indicator light

There is a replacement indicator light for the water filter cartridge on the dispenser. This light will turn orange to tell you that you need to replace the filter soon.

The filter cartridge should be replaced when the replacement indicator light turns red or if the flow of water to the dispenser or icemaker decreases.

Removing the filter cartridge

If you are replacing the cartridge, first remove the old one by slowly turning it to the left. Do not pull down on the cartridge. A small amount of water may drip down.

NOTE: To reduce the risk associated with property damage due to water leakage, read and follow instructions before installation and use of this system. Installation and use MUST comply with all state and local plumbing codes.

Installing the filter cartridge

Fill the replacement cartridge with water from the tap

to allow for better flow from the dispenser immediately after installation.

Line up the arrow on the cartridge and the cartridge

holder. Place the top of the new cartridge up inside the holder. Do not push it up into the holder.

Slowly turn it to the right until

the filter cartridge stops. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. As you turn the cartridge it will automatically raise itself into position. cartridge will move about a 1/2 turn.

Run water from the dispenser for

1-1/2 gallons (about three minutes) to clear the system and prevent sputtering.

Press and hold the RESET WATER FILTER pad (on some

models) on the dispenser for three seconds.

NOTE: A newly installed water filter cartridge may cause water to spurt from the dispenser.

Normal operating sounds.

Newer refrigerators sound different from older refrigerators. Modern refrigerators have more features and use newer technology.

Do you hear what I hear? These sounds are normal.

HUMMM...

WHOOSH...





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.





Sometimes the refrigerator runs for an extended period, especially when the doors are opened frequently. This means that the Frost Guard™ feature is working to prevent freezer burn and improve food preservation.





You may hear a whooshing sound when the doors close. This is due to pressure equalizing within the refrigerator.





You may hear the fans spinning at high speeds. This happens when the refrigerator is first plugged in, when the doors are opened frequently or when a large amount of food is added to the refrigerator or freezer compartments. The fans are helping to maintain the correct temperatures.





If either door is open for over 3 minutes, you may hear the fans come on in order to cool the light bulbs.





The fans change speeds in order to provide optimal cooling and energy savings.

CLICKS, POPS,

CRACKS and CHIRPS





You may hear cracking or popping sounds when the refrigerator is first plugged in. This happens as the refrigerator cools to the correct temperature.





Electronic dampers click open and closed to provide optimal cooling and energy savings.





The compressor may cause a clicking or chirping sound when attempting to restart (this could take up to 5 minutes).





The electronic control board may cause a clicking sound when relays activate to control refrigerator components.





Expansion and contraction of cooling coils during and after defrost can cause a cracking or popping sound.





On models with an icemaker, after an icemaking cycle, you may hear the ice cubes dropping into the ice bucket.

WATER SOUNDS





The flow of refrigerant through the freezer cooling coils may make a gurgling noise like boiling water.





Water dropping on the defrost heater can cause a sizzling, popping or buzzing sound during the defrost cycle.





A water dripping noise may occur during the defrost cycle as ice melts from the evaporator and flows into the drain pan.





Closing the door may cause a gurgling sound due to pressure equalization.
