and lo(ated in a(cordan(e whh tile hlstallation
Insuu(dons betbre it is used.

:Do not allow children to climb, stand or hang

on the sllel,,es in tile refrigerator. They (ould

vapors and liquids in tile _d(inity of this or anv,

other appliance.

iiln refrigerators _dth automati( icemakers,

avoid contact _dth the rot)ring parts of tile
ejector mechanism, or with the heating element

that releases the olbes. Do not place fingers or
bands on the automatic icemaldng mechanism

while tile refrigerator isphlgged in.

PROPERDISPOSALOFTHEREFRIGERATOR

Cllild entrapment and tutti)cation are not problems
of the past.Junked or abandoned refligerators me
still dangerous...even ifthey _dll sit fi)r "just a tbw

days." If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator,
please tbllow the instnl( tions below to help prevent

ac(idents.

Before You ThrowAway YourOld Refrigerator
or Freezer:

Take ()ff the d()( )rs.

I_eave tile shelves in place so that chikhen may
not easily (limb inside.

CFCOisposa/

Yore old refiigerator has a cooling system dlat used
CFCs (chlorofluoro(arbons). CFCs are believed to

harm stratospheric ozone.

If you me throwing away your old refrigerator, make
sure the CFC refrigerant is rem()ved ti)r proper

disposal by a qualified se,Yicer. If you intentionally
release this CFC refrigerant you can be subject to

fines and imprisonment under pr_)visions of
environmental legislation.

USEOFEXTENSIONCORDS

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 (ord, it isabsolutely ne(essary that it be a UI Aisted (in tile United
States) or a CSA-listed (in Canada), 3-xdre grounding type appliance extension cord haxing a grounding

type plug and outlet and that tim electrical radng of tim cord be 15 amperes (minimum) and 120 volts.

'!

HOWTOCONNECTELECTRICITY

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 pc)wet cord of this appliance is equipped xdth a

3-prong (groundhog) plug which mates xdth a
standard 3-prong (grounding) wall outlet to

minimize the possibility of e]e( tri( sho(k hazard
fiom this appliam e.

Have tile wall outlet and circuit checked by a
qualified elecuician to make sure the outlet is

properly grounded.

Where a standard 2-prong wall outlet is

encountered, it isyour personal responsibility and
obligation to have it replaced _dth a properly

grounded 3-prong wall outlet.

The refiigerat or shoukl always be plug,g,ed into its.

own individual electrical outlet which has a vohage
radng that matches tile radng plate.

This provides tile best pevlormance and also
prm ents overloading house xdring circuits which

(oukl cause a tire hazard from oxerheated x_res.

Never unplug your reflige_v_tor by pulling on tile
power (ord. Ahvays grip plug firmly and pull straight

out tiom the outlet.
Repair or replace immediately all power cords that

have become fiwed or otherxdse dmnaged. Do not
use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage

along its length or at either end.

When m()x4ng the refligerator away from the
wall, be (meflll not to roll over or damage tile

power (ord.

USEOFADAPTERPLUGS(Adapte_pl_g_notpermittedinCanada)

Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against
the use of an adapter plug.

However, if you must use an adapter, where local
(:odes permit, a temporaryconnectionmay be made

to a properly grounded 2-prong wall outlet by use
ofa UI Aisted adapter available at most lo(al

hardw;He stores.

Tile larger slot in the adapter must be aligned xx_th

the larger slot in tl_e wall outlet to provide proper
polarity in the (onnection of the power (ord

When disconnecting the power cord fiom the

adapter, ahvays hold the adapter in pla(e xdth one
hand while pulling the pc_wercord phlg with the

odmr hand. If this is not done, the adapter ground
terminal is veU likely to break _dth repeated use.

If the adapter ground terminal breaks, O0 NOTUSE
tile retiigerat or until a proper ground has been

established.

Cans, bottles or fi)od paclctges in the

:, Some crashed ice may be dispensed even

After crashed ice is dispensed, some
water may &ip tiom tl_e chute.

:, Sometimes a mound of snow will fi)rm on

is normal and usually occurs when you

have dispensed crashed ice repeatedly.

Installingthewater line.

Read these instructions completely and carefully.

BeforeYouBegin

If the water supply to the refrigerator is from a Reverse Osmosis Water Filtration
System and the refrigerator is equipped with a built-in filtration system, it is not

necessary to use the refrigerator's water filter. Use the refrigerator's Filter Bypass
Plug. Using the refrigerator's water filtration cartridge in conjunction with the RO filter

can result in hollow ice cubes and slower water flow from the water dispenser.

This water line instaflation is not warranted by the refrigerator or icemaker manufacturer.

Follow these instructions 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.

Toprevent bums 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 feeler arm is kept in the STOP (up) 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.

Aft installations must be in accordance with local plumbing code requirements.

18

WhatYouWillNeed

Todetermine how much copper tubing you need:

Measure the distance from the water valve on the back of the refrigerator to the water
supply pipe. Then add 8 feet (244 cm). Be sure there is sufficient extra tubing [about 8
feet (244 cm) coiled into 3 turns of about 10inches (25 cm) diameter] to aflow the
refrigerator to move out from the waft after installation.
