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 or water (on some models).
ProperDisposalofYourOldRefrigerator
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:
Take off the doors.
Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.
INSTALLATIONINSTRUCTIONS
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 the Packaging
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."
IMPORTANT: Do not remove the white foam air return insert from behind the control panel on the ceiling of the refrigerator. If the
insert is removed, ice may migrate down from the freezer and cause icicles to form.
When Moving Your 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.
Explosion Hazard
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from refrigerator.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
Toensure proper ventilation for your refrigerator, allow for a 1/2" (12.70 mm) space on each side. Allow 3" (7.5 cm) of space
between overhead cabinets and refrigerator top. Allow at least 1" (25.40 mm) between back of cabinet and the wall. If your refrigerator has an ice maker, make sure you leave some extra
space at the back for the water line connections.
If you are installing your refrigerator next to a fixed wall, leave 2" (5.08 cm) minimum on the hinge side (depending on your model) to allow for the door to swing open.
Level the refrigerator. See "Adjust the Doors."
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).
Clean Before Using
After you remove all of the package materials, clean the inside of your 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. 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.

2" (5.08cm)
ElectricalShockHazard
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.
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.
Read all directions before you begin.
IMPORTANT:
If you turn the refrigerator on before the water line is connected, turn the ice maker OFE
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.
TOOLS NEEDED: Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation. Read and follow the instructions provided with anytools listed. Flat-blade screwdriver, 7_6"and W' open-end
wrenches or two adjustable wrenches, 1/4"nut driver and drill bit, hand drill or electric drill (properly grounded).
NOTE: Your refrigerator dealer has a kit available with a W' (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 3/_6" (4.76 mm) saddle valve which reduces water flow and clogs more easily.
Water Pressure
A cold water supply with water pressure of between 30 and 120 psi (207-827 kPa) is required to operate ice maker. Ifyou 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 - 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 - 414 kPa).
If the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system is less than 40 to 60 psi (276 - 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 you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, qualified plumber.
{ _;_ __*__._:__
Read all directions before you begin. IMPORTANT: Ifyou turn the refrigerator on before the water line is
connected, turn the ice maker OFE
Connect to Water Line
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Turn OFF main water supply. Turn ON nearest faucet long enough to clear line of water.
3. Locate a W' (1.27 cm) to 1W' (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.
4.
Determine the length of copper tubing you will need. Measure from connection on lower left rear of refrigerator to water pipe. Add 7 ft (2.1 m) to allow for cleaning. Use W' (6.35 mm) O.D.
(outside diameter) copper tubing. Be sure both ends of copper tubing are cut square.

Your refrigerator has two front adjustable rollers - one on the right and one on the left. If your refrigerator seems unsteady or you want the doors to close easier, adjust the refrigerator's tilt using the instructions below.
Depending on your model, your refrigerator may have leveling legs (Style 1) or leveling screws (Style 2). They are part of the front
roller assemblies which are found at the base of the refrigerator on either side.
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install refrigerator.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
1. Move the refrigerator into its final location.
2. Turn the leveling legs or leveling screws to the right to raise that side of the refrigerator or to the left to lower that side. It
may take several turns to adjust the tilt of the refrigerator. NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the
refrigerator takes some weight off the leveling screws and rollers. This makes it easier to adjust the screws.
3. Open both doors again and be sure that they close as easily as you like. If not, tilt the refrigerator slightly more to the rear by turning both leveling screws to the right. It may take several more turns, and you should turn both leveling screws the same amount.

The temperature control is located at the top of the refrigerator compartment. It controls the temperature in both the refrigerator and freezer compartments.
For your convenience, the Temperature Control is preset at the factory. When you first install your refrigerator, make sure that the
control is still preset to the mid-setting as shown. NOTE: To turn your refrigerator off, turn the refrigerator control to
the word OFF or until the word OFF appears. Your product will not cool when the refrigerator control is set to OFR
coldest
IMPORTANT:
Give your refrigerator time to cool down completely before adding food. It is best to wait 24 hours before you put food
into the refrigerator.
If you add food before the refrigerator has cooled completely, your food may spoil. Adjusting the Refrigerator and Freezer Controls to a higher (colder) than recommended setting will
not cool the compartments any faster.
Adjusting Controls
The mid-setting indicated in the previous section should be correct for normal household usage. The controls are set correctly when milk or juice is as cold as you like and when ice cream is
firm. If the temperature is too warm or too cold in the refrigerator or
freezer, first check the air vents to be sure they are not blocked. If you need to adjust temperatures, use the settings listed in the
chart below as a guide. Wait at least 24 hours between adjustments and then recheck the temperatures.

REFRIGERATORCARE
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
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 painted metal exteriors with a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water. Dry thoroughly with a soft
cloth.
4. Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.
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.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Trythe solutions suggested here first in order to avoid the cost of an unnecessary service call.
NOTE: Not all appliance bulbs will fit your refrigerator. Be sure to
replace the bulb with one of the same size, shape, and wattage.
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Reach behind the control panel and unscrew the bulb.
3. Replace the bulb with a 40-watt appliance bulb.
4. Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.
The refrigerator seems noisy
The refrigerator will not operate
Power cord unplugged? Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Is outlet working? Plug in a lamp to see if the outlet is working.
Household fuse blown or circuit breaker tripped? Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. If the problem continues,
call an electrician. Is control on? Make sure the refrigerator control is on. See
"Using the Control." New installation? Allow 24 hours following installation for the
refrigerator to cool completely. NOTE: Adjusting the temperature control to coldest setting
will not cool the refrigerator more quickly.
The motor seems to run too much
Your new refrigerator may run longer than your old one due to its high-efficiency compressor and fans. The unit may run even
longer if the room is warm, a large food load is added, the door is opened often, or if the door has been left open.
10
Refrigerator noise has been reduced over the years. Due to this reduction, you may hear intermittent noises from your new
refrigerator that you did not notice from your old model. Below are listed some normal sounds with explanations.
Pulsating - fans/compressor adjusting to optimize performance.
Hissing/Rattling - flow of refrigerant, movement of water lines, or from items placed on top of the refrigerator.
Popping - contraction/expansion of inside walls, especially during initial cool-down.
Water running/dripping - may be heard when water melts during defrosting and runs into the drain pan.
The door will not close completely
Door blocked open? Move food packages away from door.
Bin or shelf in the way? Push bin or shelf back in the correct position.
Crisper cover in the way? Make sure the crisper cover is fully pushed in, so that the back rests on the supports.
The door isdifficult to open
Gaskets dirty or sticky? Clean gaskets and contact surfaces with mild soap and warm water. Rinse and dry with soft cloth.
Temperature is too warm
There is interior moisture buildup
New installation? Allow 24 hours following installation for the refrigerator to cool completely.
Door opened often or left open? Allows warm air to enter refrigerator. Minimize door openings and keep door fully
closed.
Large load of food added? Allow several hours for refrigerator to return to normal temperature.
Control set correctly for the surrounding conditions? Adjust the control a setting colder. Check temperature in 24 hours, See "Using the Control."
NOTE: Some moisture build-up is normal,
Humid room? Contributes to moisture build-up.
Door opened often or left open? Allows humid air to enter refrigerator. Minimize door openings and keep door fully
closed.
