{{This refiigerator must be properly installed

and located in accordance with the Installation Instructions befbre it is used.

Do not allow chiMren to climb, stand or hang on the shelves in the refrigerator. They couM

damage the refrigerator and seriously injure themselves.

{{Do not touch the cold surfhces in the freezer

compartment when hands are damp or wet. Skin m W stick to these extremely coM surfaces.

{{Do not store or use gasoline or odmr flammable

vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any

other appliance. In refrigerators with automatic icelnakers,

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 icelnaking mechanism

while the refrigerator is plugged in.

{{Keep fingers out of fl_e "pinch point" areas;

clearances between the doors and between the doors and cabinet are necessarily small.

Be carefifl closing doors when chiMren are in the area.

{{Unplug the refiigerator before cleaning and

making repairs.

NOTE: We strongly recommendthat any servicing be performed by a quafified individual,

Turning fl_econtrol to fl_e OFFor 0 position does not remove power to tim light circuit.

{{Do not refreeze frozen foods which hm_e

thawed completely.

IMPORTANT."PROPERDISPOSALOFTHEREFRIGERATOR

Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators are

still dangerous...even if they,_411sit far '_just a few days." Ifyou are getting rid of your oM refiigeramr,

please follow the instructions below m help prevent accident.s.

Before You Throw Away Your Old Refrigerator or Freezer:

Take offflm doors.

Lem_ethe sheh_es in place so that children may not easily climb inside.

CFC Disposal

Your old refrigerator has a cooling system that used CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons). CFCs are believed to

harm stratospheric ozone. Ifyou are fllro_4ng away your oM refiigerator, make

sure the CFC refrigerant is removed fbr proper disposal by a qualified sets_icer. If you intentionally

release this CFC refiigerantyou can be subject to fines and imprisonment under provisions 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 cord, it is absolutely necessapy that it be a UL-listed (in the United States) or a CSA-listed (in Canada), 3-_4re 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.

IMPORTANTSAFETYINFORMATION.

READALLINSTRUCTIONSBEFOREUSING.

WARNING!

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 power cord of this appliance is equipped wkh a 3-prong (,grounding) plug which mates with a

standard 3-prong (grounding) wall outlet m minimize the possibilipy of electric shock hazaM

from this appliance. Hm,e d_e wall outlet and circuit checked by a

qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly _'ounded.

Where a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, it isyour personal responsibiliey and

obligation to have it replaced wid_ a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.

The refrigerator should always be plugged into its o_1 indMdual electrical outlet which has a vohage

rating that matches the rating plate.

This provides the best perfbmmnce and also prevents overloading house wMng 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 othe_vise dmnaged. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion dmnage

along its length or at eit|_er end. When moving the refrigerator away from the

wall, be carefifl not to roll over or dmnage the power cord.

USEOFADAPTERPLUGS(Ad_ter_lug__ot_e_ittedi.C_,_d_

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 codes permit, a temporaryconnectionmaybe made

to a properly,grounded 2-prong wall outlet 1)77use ofa UL-listed adaptor available at most local

hardware stores. The larger slot in d_e adapter must be aligned with

the larger slot in the wall outlet to provide proper polafib7 in the connection of the power cord.

When disconnecting the power cord from the adapter, always hold the adapter in place with one

hand while pulling the power cord plug wid_ tt_e ott_er hand. If t|_is is not clone, the adapter ground tem_inal is vel)7likely to break with repeated use.

If the adapter _'ound terminal breaks, DONOTUSE the refrigerator until a proper ground has been

Important Facts About Your Dispenser

Add ice before filling the glass wifl_a

beverage. This will prevent splashing,

which could cause the ice selector switch

to stick or bind. Do not add ice from trays or bags to

tim storage bin. It lnay not crash or dispense well.

Avoid ovet{illing glass with ice and use of

narrow or extra-tall glasses. Backed-up ice canjam the chute or cruise the door in

the chute to fi'eeze shut. If ice is blocking the chute, poke it through with a wooden spoon.

Beverages and foods should not be quicbchilled in the ice storage bin.

Cans, bottles or food packages in the storage bin InW cause the icelnaker or

tuner to jam.

Solne crushed ice may be dispensed even though you selected CUBES.This

happens occasionally when a few cubes accidentally get directed to the crasher.

After crashed ice is dispensed, solne water lnay (kip ffoln the chute.

Sometimes a mound of snow will form on the door in the ice chute. This condition

is normal and usually occurs when you have dispensed crashed ice repeatedly.

The snow will eventually evaporate. Dispensed water is not ice cold. For

colder water, silnply add crushed ice or cubes befbre dispensing water.

yearly cleaning, remove bottom freezer basket and flush a solution of baking soda-

1 teaspoon (5 ml) and 2 cups (500 ml) of hot (not boiling) water- through the drain

line with the help of a meat t)aster. This will help eliminate odor and reduce the

likelihood of a clogged drain line. If drain becomes clogged, use a meat baster and

baking soda solution to fiorce tim clog through the drain line.

Avoid cleaning cold glass shelves (on some models) with hot water because

the extreme temperature difference may cause them to break. Handle glass shelves carefully. Bumping tempered glass can cause it to shatter.

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 hoflow ice cubes and slower water flow from the water dispenser.

This water line installation 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 STeP (up) position.

Do not instafl 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.

WhatYouWill Need

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 allow the

refrigerator to move out from the waft after installation.

A watersupplykit (containing copper robing, shutoffvalve and fittings listed below) is

mTailableat extra cost fi'om your dealer or fi'om Parts and Accessories, 800-62(;-2002. Cold watersupply.The water pressure must be between 20 and 120 p.s.i. (1.4-8.2 bar) on

models without a water filter and between 40 and 120 p.s.i. (2.8-8.2 bar) on models with

a water filter.

;;Powerdrill.

Copper tubing, 1/4" outer diameter to connect the refligerator to the water supply. Be sure both ends of the robing are cut square.

Do not use plastic tubing or plastic fittings because the water supply line is under pressure at all times. Certain types of plastic tubing may become brittle with age and crack, resulting in water leakage.

Two 1/4"outer diameter compression nuts and 2 ferrules (sleeves)=to connect the copper

robing to the shutoffvalve and the refligerator water valve.

If your existing water line has a flared fitting at the end, you xdll need an adapter(m_ailableat plumbing supply stores) to connect the water line to the refiigerator ORyou can cut offthe
