REFRIGERATORSAFETY

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" or "WARNING."

These words mean:

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately

follow instructions.

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow instructions.

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

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury when using your refrigerator, follow these basic precautions:

• Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

• Do not remove ground prong.

• Do not use an adapter.

• Do not use an extension cord.

• Disconnect power before servicing.

• Replace all parts and panels before operating.

• Remove doors from your old refrigerator.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

• Use nonflammable cleaner.

• Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from refrigerator.

• Use two or more people to move and install refrigerator.

• Disconnect power before installing ice maker (on ice maker kit ready models only).

• Use a sturdy glass when dispensing ice (on some models).

Proper DisposalofYourOld Refrigerator

Suffocation Hazard

Remove doors from your old refrigerator. Failure to do so can result in death or brain damage.

IMPORTANT: 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." Ifyou are getting rid of your old refrigerator, please follow these instructions to help prevent accidents.

Before You Throw Away Your Old Refrigerator or Freezer:

• Takeoff the doors.

• Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.

INSTALLATIONINSTRUCTIONS

Be ge <sot

NOTE: It is recommended that you do not install the refrigerator near an oven, radiator, or other heat source. Do not install in a location where the temperature will fall below 55°F (13°C).

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move and install refrigerator.

Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

If the ice storage bin is located on the door, remove the temporary shield from underneath the ice storage bin. See "Ice Maker and Storage Bin."

Remove packaging materials. Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, flammable fluids, or abrasive cleaners to remove tape or glue. These products can damage the surface of your refrigerator. For more information, see "Refrigerator

Safety."

When Moving "{our Refrigerator: Your refrigerator is heavy. When moving the refrigerator

for cleaning or service, be sure to protect the floor.

Always pull the refrigerator straight out when moving it.

Do not wiggle or "walk" the refrigerator when trying to move it, as floor damage could occur.

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. For your protection, tempered glass is designed to shatter into many small, pebble-size pieces. This is normal. Glass shelves and covers are heavy. Use special care when removing them to avoid impact from dropping.

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

Do not remove ground prong. Do not use an adapter.

Do not use an extension cord. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,

fire, or electrical shock.

Explosion Hazard

Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from refrigerator.

Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

To ensure proper ventilation for your refrigerator, allow for 1/2" (1.25 cm) space on each side and at the top. When installing your

refrigerator next to a fixed wall, leave 2" (5.08 cm) minimum on each side (depending on your model) to allow for the door to swing open. If your refrigerator has an ice maker, allow extra space at the back for the water line connections.

Before you move your refrigerator into its final location, it is important to make sure you have the proper electrical connection.

Recommended Grounding Method

A 115 Volt, 60 Hz., AC only 15- or 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 off by a switch. Do not use an extension cord.

NOTE: Before performing any type of installation, cleaning, or removing a light bulb, turn the control (Thermostat, Refrigerator or

Freezer Control depending on the model) to OFF and then disconnect the refrigerator from the electrical source. When you are finished, reconnect the refrigerator to the electrical source and reset the control (Thermostat, Refrigerator or Freezer Control depending on the model) to the desired setting.

Gathertherequiredtoolsandpartsbeforestartinginstallation. Readandfollowtheinstructionsprovidedwithanytoolslisted

here.

TOOLS NEEDED:

• Flat-blade screwdriver • 1/4"Drill bit

• 7/16"and 1/2"Open-end or two adjustable wrenches

• 1/4"nut driver

NOTE: Your refrigerator dealer has a kit available with a 1/4" (6.35 mm) saddle-type shutoff valve, a union, and copper tubing. Before purchasing, make sure a saddle-type valve complies with your local plumbing codes. Do not use a piercing-type or ¾e"

(4.76 mm) saddle valve which reduces water flow and clogs more easily.

IMPORTANT:

• All installations must meet local plumbing code requirements.

• Use copper tubing and check for leaks. Install copper tubing only in areas where the household temperatures will remain above freezing.

Water Pressure

A cold water supply with water pressure of between 30 and 120 psi (207 and 827 kPa) is required to operate the water dispenser and ice maker. If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, qualified plumber.

Reverse Osmosis Water Supply IMPORTANT: The pressure of the water supply coming out of a

reverse osmosis system going to the water inlet valve of the refrigerator needs to be between 30 and 120 psi (207 and 827 kPa).

If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is connected to your cold water supply, the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system needs to be a minimum of 40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa).

If the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system is less than 40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa):

• Check to see whether the sediment filter in the reverse osmosis system is blocked. Replace the filter if necessary.

• Allow the storage tank on the reverse osmosis system to refill after heavy usage.

If your refrigerator has a water filter, it may further reduce the water pressure when used in conjunction with a reverse osmosis system. Remove the water filter. See "Water Filtration

System."

If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, qualified plumber.

Read all directions before you begin. IMPORTANT: If you turn the refrigerator on before the water line is

connected, turn the ice maker OFF.

Connect to Water Line

• Hand drill or electric drill (properly grounded)

Locate a 1/2"(12.70 mm) to 11¼'' (3.18 cm) vertical cold water pipe near the refrigerator.

IMPORTANT:

• Make sure it is a cold water pipe.

• Horizontal pipe will work, but drill on the top side of the pipe, not the bottom. This will help keep water away from

the drill and normal sediment from collecting in the valve.

Determine the length of copper tubing you need. Measure from the connection on the lower rear corner of refrigerator to the water pipe. Add 7 ft (2.1 m) to allow for cleaning. Use 1/4"

(6.35 mm) O.D. (outside diameter) copper tubing. Be sure both ends of copper tubing are cut square.

Using a grounded drill, drill a 1/4"(6.35 mm) hole in the cold water pipe you have selected.

6. Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water pipe with the pipe clamp. Be sure the outlet end is solidly in the 1/4"(6.35 mm) drilled hole in the water pipe and that the washer is under the

pipe clamp. Tighten the packing nut. Tighten the pipe clamp screws slowly and evenly so the washer makes a watertight seal. Do not overtighten or you may crush the copper tubing.

7. Slip the compression sleeve and compression nut on the copper tubing as shown. Insert the end of the tubing into the

outlet end squarely as far as it will go. Screw the compression nut onto outlet end with adjustable wrench. Do not

overtighten.

8. Place the free end of the tubing in a container or sink, and turn ON the main water supply. Flush the tubing until water is clear. Turn OFF the shutoff valve on the water pipe. Coil the copper

tubing.

Connect to Refrigerator

Style 1

1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

2. Attach the copper tube to the valve inlet using a compression nut and sleeve as shown. Tighten the compression nut. Do not

overtighten.

3. Use the tube clamp on the back of the refrigerator to secure the tubing to the refrigerator as shown. This will help prevent damage to the tubing when the refrigerator is pushed back

against the wall.

4. Turn shutoff valve ON.

5. Check for leaks. Tighten any connections (including connections at the valve) or nuts that leak.

1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

IMPORTANT:

Your product will not cool when the REFRIGERATOR Control is set to OFR

The Refrigerator Control adjusts the refrigerator compartment temperature. The Freezer Control adjusts the freezer compartment temperature. Settings to the left of the mid-

setting make the temperature less cold. Settings to the right of the mid-setting make the temperature colder.

Wait 24 hours before you put food into the refrigerator. If you add food before the refrigerator has cooled completely, your

food may spoil.

NOTE: Adjusting the Refrigerator and Freezer Controls to a higher (colder) than recommended setting will not cool the compartments any faster.

Adjusting Controls

Give the refrigerator time to cool down completely before adding food. It is best to wait 24 hours before you put food into the

refrigerator. The settings indicated in the previous section should be correct for normal household refrigerator usage. The controls are set correctly when milk or juice is as cold as you like and when

ice cream is firm. Turn the control right (clockwise) to make the compartment colder.

Turn the control left (counterclockwise) to make it less cold. To turn the cooling system off, turn the Refrigerator Control counterclockwise until it reaches the OFF position.

If you need to adjust temperatures in the refrigerator or freezer, use the settings listed in the chart below as a guide. Wait at least 24 hours between adjustments.

Depending on your model, you may have one or more of the following options: the ability to select either crushed or cubed ice,

a special light that turns on when you use the dispenser, or a lock option to avoid unintentional dispensing.

NOTES:

• The dispensing system will not operate when the freezer door is open.

After connecting the refrigerator to a water source, flush the water system by dispensing water into a sturdy container until you draw and discard 1.5 gal. (5.4 L) of water, or for

approximately 3 minutes after the water begins dispensing. The flushing process cleans the water system and clears air from the lines. As the air is cleared from the lines, water may spurt out of the dispenser.

Allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to cool down and chill water.

• Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the first three batches of ice produced.

The Water Dispenser

IMPORTANT: Dispense enough water every week to maintain a

fresh supply. To Dispense Water:

1. Press a sturdy glass against the water dispenser lever.

2. Remove the glass to stop dispensing.

The Ice Dispenser

The Dispenser Lock (on some models)

The dispensing system will not operate when the freezer door is open. Ice dispenses from the ice maker storage bin in the freezer

when the dispenser lever is pressed. NOTE: Some models dispense both cubed and crushed ice.

Before dispensing ice, select which type of ice you prefer. For crushed ice, cubes are crushed before being dispensed. This

may cause a slight delay when dispensing crushed ice. Noise from the ice crusher is normal, and pieces of ice may vary in size. When changing from crushed to cubed, a few ounces of crushed

ice will be dispensed along with the first cubes.

To Dispense Ice:

1. If the ice storage bin is located on the door, remove the

temporary shield from underneath the ice storage bin. See "Ice Maker and Storage Bin."

2. Press the button to select the desired type of ice.

Cut Hazard

Use a sturdy glass when dispensing ice. Failure to do so can result in cuts.

Press a sturdy glass against the ice dispenser lever. Hold the glass close to the dispenser opening so ice does not fall outside of the glass.

IMPORTANT: You do not need to apply a lot of pressure to the lever in order to activate the ice dispenser. Pressing hard will not make the ice dispense faster or in greater quantities.

4. Remove the glass to stop dispensing.

The Dispenser Light

Style 1: The dispenser light can be turned on by pressing the ON button.

Style 2: When you use the dispenser, the lever will automatically turn the light on. If you want the light to be on continuously, you

may choose either ON or NIGHT LIGHT. ON: Press the LIGHT button to turn on the dispenser light.

NIGHT LIGHT: Press the LIGHT button a second time to select the Night Light. The dispenser light will automatically adjust to

become brighter as the room brightens, dimmer as the room darkens.

OFF: Press the LIGHT button a third time to turn off the dispenser light.

The dispenser lights are LEDs which should not need to be changed. If it appears that your dispenser lights are not working,

be sure that the light sensor is not blocked (in Night Light mode). See "Troubleshooting" for more information.

Your dispenser can be turned off for easy cleaning or to prevent unintentional dispensing by small children and pets.

NOTE: The lock feature does not shut off power to the product, to the ice maker, or to the dispenser light. It simply deactivates the dispenser levers. The ice and water dispensers will not work.

Style 1: Press the LOCK button to lock the dispenser. Press the UNLOCK button to unlock the dispenser.

Style 2: Press and hold the LOCK OUT button to lock the dispenser. Press and hold the LOCK OUT button a second time to unlock the dispenser.

Turning the Ice Maker On/Off

Toturn ON the ice maker, simply lower the wire shutoff arm. To manually turn off the ice maker, lift the wire shutoff arm to the

OFF (arm up) position and listen for the click. NOTE: Your ice maker has an automatic shutoff. As ice is made,

the ice cubes will fill the ice storage bin, and the ice cubes will raise the wire shutoff arm to the OFF (arm up) position. Do not force the wire shutoff arm up or down.

REMEMBER:

• Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the first three batches of ice produced.

The quality of your ice will be only as good as the quality of the water supplied to your ice maker. Avoid connecting the ice

maker to a softened water supply. Water softener chemicals (such as salt) can damage parts of the ice maker and lead to poor quality ice. If asoftened water supply cannot be avoided, make sure the water softener is operating properly and is well maintained.

Do not use anything sharp to break up the ice in the storage bin. This can cause damage to the ice container and the

dispenser mechanism. Do not store anything on top of or in the ice maker or storage

bin.

Removing and Replacing Ice Storage Bin

1. Pull the covering panel up from the bottom and then slide it back toward the rear.

2. Lift the wire shutoff arm so it clicks into the OFF (up) position. Ice can still be dispensed, but no more can be made.

3. Lift up the front of the storage bin and pull it out.

Replace the bin by pushing it in all the way or the dispenser will not work. Push the wire shutoff arm down to the ON

position to restart ice production. Make sure the door is closed tightly.

3_ y ......

Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system.

Water Filter Status Light (on some models)

The water filter status light will help you know when to change your water filter. The light will change from green to yellow. This

tells you that it is almost time to change the filter. It is recommended that you replace the water filter when the status light changes to red OR water flow to your water dispenser or ice maker decreases noticeably.

After changing the water filter, reset the water filter status light. The status light will change from red to green when the system is

reset.

REFRIGERATORCARE

Explosion Hazard

Use nonflammable cleaner. Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

Both the refrigerator and freezer sections defrost automatically. However, clean both sections about once a month to prevent odors from building up. Wipe up spills immediately.

IMPORTANT: 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 prevent odor transfer and drying out of food, wrap or cover foods tightly.

To Clean Your Refrigerator: NOTE: Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners such as window

sprays, scouring cleansers, flammable fluids, cleaning waxes, concentrated detergents, bleaches or cleansers containing

petroleum products on plastic parts, interior and door liners or gaskets. Do not use paper towels, scouring pads, or other harsh cleaning tools.

1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

Non-indicator Water Filter (on some models)

If your refrigerator does not have the status light, you should change the water filter every 6 months depending upon your usage. If the water flow to the water dispenser or ice maker

decreases noticeably before 6 months have passed, replace the water filter more often.

Using the Dispenser Without the Water Filter

You can run the dispenser without a water filter. Your water will not be filtered.

1. Remove the water filter.

Slide the cap off the end of the filter and replace the cap in the base grille.

IMPORTANT: Do not discard the cap. It is part of your refrigerator. Keep the cap to use with the replacement filter.

2. Hand wash, rinse, and dry removable parts and interior surfaces thoroughly. Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a

mild detergent in warm water.

3. Wash stainless steel and painted metal exteriors with a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water.

4. There is no need for routine condenser cleaning in normal home operating environments. If the environment is

particularly greasy or dusty, or there is significant pet traffic in the home, the condenser should be cleaned every 2 to

3 months to ensure maximum efficiency. If you need to clean the condenser:

• Remove the base grille.

• Use a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush to clean the grille,

the open areas behind the grille and the front surface area of the condenser.

• Replace the base grille when finished.

Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.

..... _;_ _;_;f__;;; _ _;;#_. _,;;;__,,_>_

NOTE: Not all bulbs will fit your refrigerator. Be sure to replace the bulb with one of the same size, shape and wattage. On some

models, the dispenser light requires a heavy duty 1O-watt bulb. All other lights require a 40-watt bulb. Replacement bulbs are available from your dealer.

1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

2. Remove light shield when applicable. NOTE: To clean the light shield, wash it with warm water and

liquid detergent. Rinse and dry the shield well.

3. Remove light bulb and replace with one of the same size, shape and wattage.

4. Replace light shield when applicable.

5. Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.

• Freezer door closed completely? Close the door firmly. If it does not close completely, see "The doors will not close completely."

• Ice bin installed correctly? Be sure the ice bin is firmly in position.

• New installation? Wait 24 hours after ice maker installation for ice production to begin. Wait 72 hours for full ice production.

• Ice stuck in the delivery chute? Use a plastic utensil to clear the delivery chute.

• Has the wrong ice been added to the bin? Use only cubes produced by the current ice maker.

• Has the ice melted around the auger (metal spiral) in the ice bin? Dump the ice cubes and clean the ice bin.

Cut Hazard

Use a sturdy glass when dispensing ice. Failure to do so can result in cuts.

The dispenser water is not cool enough

NOTE: Water from the dispenser is chilled to only 50°F (10°C).

• New installation? Allow 24 hours after installation for the water supply to cool completely.

• Recently dispensed large amount of water? Allow 24 hours for water supply to cool completely.

• Water not been recently dispensed? The first glass of water may not be cool. Discard the first glass of water.

Refrigerator connected to a cold water pipe? Make sure the refrigerator is connected to a cold water pipe. See "Water

Supply Requirements." in either the Installation Instructions or the Use & Care Guide.

Is the ice dispenser stalling while dispensing "crushed" ice? Change the ice button from "crushed" to "cubed." If

cubed ice dispenses correctly, depress the button for "crushed" ice and begin dispensing again.

Has the dispenser arm been held in too long? Ice will stop dispensing when the arm is held in too long. Wait 3 minutes for dispenser motor to reset before using again.

The water dispenser will not operate properly

• Freezer door closed completely? Close the door firmly. If it does not close completely, see "The doors will not close completely."

Refrigerator connected to a water supply and the supply shutoff valve turned on? Connect refrigerator to water

supply and turn water shutoff valve fully open. Is the water pressure at least 30 psi (207 kPa)? The water

pressure to the home determines the flow from the dispenser. See "Water System Requirements."

Kink in the home water source line? Straighten the water source line.

New installation? Flush and fill the water system. Water filter installed on the refrigerator? The filter may be

clogged or incorrectly installed.

Is a reverse osmosis water filtration system connected to your cold water supply? See "Water Supply Requirements"

in either the Installation Instructions or the Use & Care Guide.
