Your safety and the safety of others are very important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.

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 either the word “DANGER,” “WARNING” or “CAUTION.”

These words mean:

	DANGER	An imminently hazardous situation. You could be killed or seriously injured if you don’t
		immediately follow instructions.
		A potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious
	WARNING
		bodily injury.
		A potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in moderate or minor
	CAUTION
		injury.

All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Пдмпшхичтзтцтждсхицшпчмсзидчл иыуптцмтстхĤхи

IMPORTANT: This refrigerator is designed for indoor, household use only.

To ensure proper ventilation for your refrigerator, allow 2” (5.08 cm) of space behind the refrigerator.

This refrigerator is intended for use in a location where the temperature ranges from a minimum of 55°F (13°C) to a maximum of 95°F (35°C). The preferred room temperature range for optimum performance, which reduces electricity usage and provides superior cooling, is between 60°F (15°C) and 90°F (32°C).

NOTE: It is recommended that you do not install the refrigerator in direct sunlight or near a heat source, such as an oven or radiator.

ЛийтхиьтшртщиьтшххийхмкихдчтхмсчтмчцĤсдпптждчмтс мч is important to make sure you have the proper electrical connection.

Recommended Grounding Method

A 115 volt, 60 Hz, AC only 15or 20-amp fused, grounded electrical supply is required. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only your refrigerator be provided. Use an outlet that cannot be turned o by a switch. Do not use an extension cord.

NOTE: Before performing any type of installation or cleaning, disconnect the refrigerator from the electrical

цтшхжи алисьтшдхиĤсмцлиз хижтссижччлихийхмкихдчтхчт the electrical source and reset the temperature controls to the desired setting.

WATER SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS

ŶAccess to a household cold water line that has water pressure between 20 psi and 120 psi, and that is NOT connected to a water softening system.

NOTE: Chemicals from the water softener may damage the ice maker causing it to malfunction.

Ŷ Къдчихцшуупьпмсирдзитй?\8ĔШН жтууихчшемск

Determine the length of tubing needed by measuring the distance from the ice maker water valve on the back of the refrigerator to your cold water pipe. Add approximately 7 feet to this measurement, to allow the refrigerator to be moved out for service.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

STEP 1 - UNPACK REFRIGERATOR

WARNING

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move and install refrigerator. Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

REMOVE PACKAGING

ŶRemove tape and glue residue from surfaces before turning on the refrigerator. Rub a small amount of liquid

CLEAN BEFORE USING

After you remove all of the packaging materials, clean the inside of the refrigerator before using it. See the cleaning instructions in “Refrigerator Care.”

Important information to know about glass shelves and covers:

Do not clean glass shelves or covers with warm water when they are cold. Shelves and covers may break if exposed to sudden temperature changes or impact, such as bumping. Tempered glass is designed to shatter into many small, pebble-size pieces. This is normal. Glass shelves and covers are heavy. Use both hands when removing them to avoid dropping.

The freezer compartment temperature control should be set at “12 o’clock.” After 24 hours has passed, the control can be adjusted in small increments to achieve the desired temperature.

NOTE: Wait 24 hours between adjustments for the temperature to stabilize.

ICE MAKER AND ICE STORAGE BIN

(On Some Models)

IMPORTANT:

•Keep the wire control arm in the OFF position until the refrigerator is connected to the water supply or whenever the water supply is turned o.

•It takes approximately 24 hours for the ice maker to begin producing ice.

•New plumbing may cause ice discoloration and poor

REFRIGERATOR CARE

CLEANING

Both the refrigerator and freezer sections defrost automatically. However, clean both sections about once a month to avoid buildup of odors. Wipe up spills immediately.

Because air circulates between both sections, any odors formed in one section will transfer to the other. You must thoroughly clean both sections to eliminate odors. To avoid odor transfer and drying out of food, wrap or cover foods tightly.

•Do not wash any parts in a dishwasher.

•Do not use warm water to clean glass shelves while they are still cold. Glass may break when exposed to sudden temperature changes or impact.

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

Unplug your appliance or disconnect power before cleaning.

Failure to do so can result in death, electric shock or personal injury.

1.Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

2.Using a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent dissolved in warm water, wash removable parts and the interior surfaces. Rinse well and dry thoroughly.

3.Clean the exterior surfaces.

Painted metal: Wash painted metal exteriors with a clean, soft cloth or sponge and a mild detergent in warm water. Rinse surfaces with clean, warm water and dry immediately to avoid water spots.

Stainless steel: Stainless steel is corrosion resistant and not corrosion-proof. To help avoid corrosion of your stainless steel, wash stainless steel surfaces with a clean, soft cloth or sponge and a mild detergent in warm water. Rinse surfaces with clean, warm water and dry immediately to avoid water spots.

NOTE: When cleaning stainless steel, always wipe in the direction of the grain to avoid cross-grain scratching.

4.Clean the door gaskets every 3 months. Using a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent dissolved in warm water, wash the gaskets. Rinse well and dry thoroughly. Lightly apply petroleum jelly to the hinge side of the gaskets to keep the gasket pliable and assure a good seal.

NOTE: Clean gaskets will maintain a better seal than dirty gaskets.

5.Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.

LIGHTS

Depending on your model, the lights in the refrigerator and freezer compartments may use either LED blocks (modules), LED bulbs or incandescent bulbs. Follow the instructions

цуижмĤжчтьтшхртзип

IMPORTANT:

•Some LED replacement bulbs are not recommended for wet/damp environments. The refrigerator and freezer are considered to be wet/damp environments. If using a brand of LED bulb other than the recommended LED bulb, before installation, read and follow all instructions on the LED packaging.

•If an incandescent bulb is used to replace an LED bulb, use only incandescent bulbs for household appliances with a maximum wattage as follows:

Type	Upper	Refrigerator

To Replace the Light Bulb:

1.Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

2.Remove the light shield (on some models).

3.After allowing the bulb to cool, remove the burned-out bulb, and then replace it with an appliance bulb of the same size and shape and wattage. Refer to the chart in this section.

4.Reinstall the light shield.

5.Plug in or reconnect power.

POWER FAILURE

If there is a power failure, do not open the freezer door.

Пхтэисйттзцлтшпзстчеидģижчизмйчлиутъихмцхицчтхиз within several hours.

If power is out for an extended period of time, check the food for thawing.

VACATION AND MOVING

VACATION

If you will be gone for an extended period of time and do not want to leave your refrigerator on while you are away, prepare it for your absence.

1.Remove all items from the refrigerator and freezer compartments, and use up or freeze elsewhere.

2.Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

3.Clean refrigerator. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

4.Clean door and/or drawer gaskets. See “Cleaning.”

5.Tape rubber or wood blocks to the top of the door(s) and/ or drawer(s) to allow air to circulate inside. This stops odor and mold from building up.
