SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Before you throw away your old refrigerator or freezer:

■ Take off the door s.

■ Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily

climb inside.

INSTALLING YOUR

REFRIGERATOR

Unpacking Your 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 shelves from the shipping position (shelves are shipped upside down):

Grasp the front of the upper shelf with one hand and use the

other hand to remove packing material from the shelf area. Lower the front of the upper shelf until shelf hooks can be

removed from the shelf supports and pull the shelf forward. Flip the shelf over and insert the rear shelf hooks into the

shelf supports. Tilt the front of shelf up until rear shelf hooks drop into the shelf supports.

Lower the front of the shelf and check to make sure that it is

securely in position.

Removing packaging materials

■ Remove tape and g lue fr o m your r efr igera tor before using. T o

remove any remaining tape or glue, rub the area briskly with your thumb. Tape or glue residue can also be easily removed by rubbing a small amount of liquid dish soap over the adhesive with your fingers. Wipe with warm water and dry.

■ 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” section.

■ On some models, shelves, bins, door shelf rails, and other

feature parts may be packaged in the Interior FeaturePak. Follow the instructions contained in the package for proper assembly.

Cleaning before use

After you remove all of the package materials, clean the inside of your refrigerator before using it. See the cleaning instructions in the “Caring for Your Refrigerator” section.

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.

Location Requirements

WARNING

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 a

¹⁄₂ in. (12.70 mm) space on each side.

■ Allow 3 in. (7.5 cm) of space between overhead cabinets and

refrigerator top.

■ Allow at least 1 in. (25.40 mm) between back of cabinet and

the wall.

3" (7.5 cm)

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.

2" (5.08 cm)

■ If your refrigerator has an ice maker, make sure you leave

some extra space at the back for the water line connections.

■ If you ar e insta lling your r ef rigerato r next to a fixed wall, leave

2 in. (5.08 cm) m inimum on the hi nge side (dependin g on you r model) to allow for the door to swing open.

■ Level the refrigerator (see “Door Closing and Alignment”).

NOTE: Do not install the refrigerator near an oven, radiator, or other heat source, nor in a location wh ere th e tempera tur e will fall below 40°F (5°C).

Electrical Requirements

WARNING

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.

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 ampere 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 th e co ntrol (Thermostat, Refrigerator or Freezer Control depend ing on the model) to the desired se tting.

Connecting the Refrigerator

to a Water Source

Read all directions carefully before you begin. IMPORTANT:

■ If operating the refrigerator before installing the water

connection, turn ice maker to the OFF position to prevent operation without water.

■ All installations must be in accordance with local plumbing

code requirements.

■ Use copper tubing and check for leaks.

■ Install copper tubing only in areas wh ere temperatures will

remain above freezing.

■ It may take up to 24 hours for your ice maker to begin

producing ice.

Tools required:

■ Standard screwdriver

■ ⁷⁄₁₆ in. and ¹⁄₂ in. open-end wrenches or two adjustable

wrenches

■ ¹⁄₄ in. nut driver

■ ¹⁄₄ in. drill bit

■ Hand drill or electric drill (properly grounded)

NOTE: Your refrigerator dealer has a kit available with a

¹⁄₄ in. (6.35 mm) saddle-type shut-off valve, a union, and copper tubing. Before purchasing, make sure a saddle-type valve complies with your local plumbing codes. Do not use a piercingtype or ³⁄₁₆ in. (4.76 mm) saddle valve which reduces water flow and clogs more easily.

Cold Water Supply

The ice maker water valve contains a flow washer which is used as a water pressure regulator. The ice maker needs to be connected to a cold water line with water pressure between 30 and 120 psi. If a problem occurs, call your utility company.

Connecting 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. Find a ¹⁄₂ in. (12.7 mm) to 1¹⁄₄ in. (3.18 cm) vertical COLD water pipe near the refrigerator.

NOTE: Horizontal pipe will work, but the following procedure must be followed: Drill on the top side of the pipe, not the bottom. This will help keep water away from the drill. This also keeps normal sediment from collecting in the valve.

4. To determine the length of copper tubing you will need, measure from connection on lower left rear of refrigerator to water pipe. Add 7 feet (2.1 m) to al low for movi ng r efr igerator for cleaning. Use ¹⁄₄ in. (6.35 mm) O.D. (outside diameter) copper tubing. Be sure both ends of copper tubing are cut square.

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

2. Pipe Clamp

3. Copper Tubing

4. Compression Nut

5. Compression Sleeve

6. Shut-Off Valve

7. Packing Nut

6. Fasten shut-off valve to cold water pipe with pipe clamp. Be sure outlet end is solidly in the ¹⁄₄ in. (6.35 mm) drilled hole in the water pipe and that washer is under the pipe clamp. Tighten packing nut. Tighten the pipe clamp screws carefully and evenly so washer makes a watertight seal. Do not overtighten or you may crush the copper tubing, especially if soft (coiled) copper tubing is used. Now you are ready to connect the copper tubing.

7. Slip compression sleeve and compression nut on copper tubing as shown. Insert end of tub ing into outl et end squar ely as far as it will go. Screw compression nut onto outlet end with adjustable wrench. Do not overtighten.

8. Place the free end of the tubing into a container or sink, and turn ON main water supply and flush out tubing until water is clear. Turn OFF shut-off valve on the water pipe. Coil copper tubing.

Connecting to refrigerator: NOTE: The first step for connecting the water line to your

refrigerator is different depending on the type of water valve provided with your refrigerator. See the diagrams below to determine the style of valve you have. (On kit models, assemble water valve to refrigerator per kit instructions.)

1. For Style 1, disconnect the tube clamp on the back of the product and insert the copper tubing through the clamp, as shown. Remove the tape label from the valve inlet and insert copper tubing until it bottoms out (approximately ³⁄₄ in. [1.9 cm]). Tighten nut by hand as much as possible; then turn the nut an additional ¹⁄₂ turn using a wrench. Do not overtighten. Re-attach the tube clamp and tube to the back of the cabinet. Skip to Step 2.

For Styl e 2, disconnect the tube clamp on the back of the product and insert copper tubing through the clamp as shown. Attach the copper tube to the valve inlet using a compression nut and sleeve as shown. Tighten the compression nut. Do not overtighten. Re-attach the tube clamp and tube to the back of the cabinet. Move to Step 2.

2. Turn shut-off valve ON. Check For Leaks. Tighten any connections (including connections at the valve) or nuts that leak.

3. The ice maker is equipped with a built-in water strainer. If local water conditions require periodic cleaning or a well is your source of water supply, a second water strainer should be installed in the ¹⁄₄ in. (6.35 mm) water line. Obtain a water strainer from your nearest appliance dealer. Install at either tube connection.

4. Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.

Reset the controls (see “Setting the Controls” section).

Door Closing and Alignment

Your refrigerator has two fr ont adjustab le ro llers – o ne 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:

Roll out the refrigerator and use a level to check the floor at

the back from side-to-side. If needed, use shims to level the back of the refrigerator if it is uneven. Roll the refrigerator back into place with the rear rollers on top of any shim(s) used so that the rear of the refrigerator is level.

With the rear already level and the refrigerator in place, use

the bottom leveling screws to level the refrigerator from sideto-side. They ar e part of the front roller assemblies, which are found at the base of the refrigerator on either side.

Having someone push against the top of the

NOTE:

refrigerator takes some weight off the leveling screws and rollers. This makes it easier to adjust the screws.

Style 1

Style 2

■ Rattling noises may come from the flow of refrigerant, the

water line, or items stored on top of the refrigerator.

■ Your refrigerator is designed to run more efficiently to keep

your food items at the desired temperature. The high efficiency co mp r essor may cause your new refr igera tor t o run longer than your old one, and you may hear a pulsating or high-pitched sound.

■ Water dripping on the defrost heater during a defrost cycle

may cause a sizzling sound.

■ You may hear the evaporator fan motor circulating the air

through the refrigerator and freezer compartments.

■ As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to

the refrigerant flowing in your refrigerator.

■ Contraction and expansion of the inside walls may cause a

popping noise.

■ You may hear air being forced over the condenser by the

condenser fan.

■ You may hear water running into the drain pan during the

defrost cycle.

USING YOUR

REFRIGERATOR

3. Depending on your model, to level your refrigerator you may either turn the screw clockwise to raise that side of the refrigerator or turn the screw counterclockwise to lower that side. Place a level on top of the refrigerator to check adjustments.

4. If the doors do not close on their own, you will need to raise the front of the refrigerator so it is slightly higher than the back. To do this, turn both leveling screws clockwise ¹⁄₂ turn.

IMPORTANT: Be sure to turn both screws an equal amount or the refrigerator will no longer be level side-to-side.

5. Open doors and check if they close automatically. If not, repeat steps 3 and 4.

6. Using a level, check to see if the refrigerator is still level sideto-side. Readjust if necessary.

Understanding Sounds You May Hear

Your new refrigerator may make sounds that your old one didn’t make. Because the sounds are new to you, you might be concerned about them . Most of the n ew sounds ar e no rmal. Har d surfaces, like the floo r, walls, and cabinets, can m ake th e soun ds seem louder than they actually are. The following describes the kinds of sounds and what may be making them.

■ If your product is equipped with an ice maker, you will hear a

buzzing sound when the water valve opens to fill the ice maker for each cycle.

■ The defrost timer will click when the automatic defrost cycle

begins and ends. Also, the Thermostat Control (or Refrigerator Control depending on the model) will click when cycling on and off.

Ensuring Proper Air Circulation

In order to ensure proper temperatures, you need to permit air flow between the refrigerator and freezer sections. As shown in the illustration, cool air enters through the bottom of the freezer section and moves up. Most of the air then flows through the freezer section vents and recirculates under the freezer floor. The rest of the air enters the refrigerator section through the top vent.

Do not block any of these vents with food packages. If the vents are blocked, airflow will be preve nted and temperat ur e a nd moisture problems may occur.

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. (See the “Refrigerator Safety” section for details.)

Setting the Control(s)

For your convenience, the refrigerator controls are preset at the factory. Controls for the refrigerator and freezer are located

in the top of the refrigerator section.

When you first install your refrigerator, make sure that the control(s) are still preset. The control(s) should be at the “mid-settings” as shown for each style of control.

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.

IMPORTANT : If you add food before the refrigerator has cooled completely, your food may spoil. Turning the Refrigerator or

Freezer Control(s) to a higher (colder) than recommended setting will not cool the compartments any faster.

On models with two c ont r ols, t he F r eeze r Con tr o l funct ions a s an airflow director. Setting “1” will direct more of the cold air in to the refrigerator section, while setting “5” (or “7” depending on your model) will direct more of the cold air into the freeze r section. The cold air flows from th e freeze r compartmen t thro ugh the top vent into your fresh fo od sec tion (see d iagra m i n the "Ensu ring P r o per Air Circulation" section). On models with one control, the airflow does not require adjustment.

Adjusting Control Settings

Give the refrig erat or ti m e to cool dow n comp letely bef or e adding food. It is best to wait 24 hours before you put food into the refrigerator. The “mid-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.

For models with two controls:

The Refrigerator Con tro l function s as the t hermost at for the entir e product (r efriger ator an d fr eezer sect ions). The higher th e numbe r setting, the longer the compressor will run to keep the temperature colder. The Freezer Control adjusts the cold air flow from the freezer to the refrigerator.

If you need to adjust temperatures in the refrigerator or freezer, start by adjusting the refrigerator first. Wait 24 hours after the refrigerator adjustment to check the freezer temperature. If it is too warm or too cold, then adjust the Freezer Control as well.

For models with a single control:

The Temperature Control functions as the thermostat for the entire product (refrigerator and freezer sections). The higher the number setting, the longer the compressor will run to keep the temperature colder.

Use the settings listed in the chart below as a guide. Always

remember to wait at least 24 hours between adjustments.

Important information to know about glass shelves and covers:

Refrigerator Shelves

(Glass shelves on some models)

The shelves in your refrigerator are adjustable to match your individual storage needs.

Storing similar food items together in your ref rigerator and adjusting the shelves to fit different heights of items will make finding the exact item you want easier. It will also reduce the amount of time the refrigerator door is open, and save energy.

To remove and replace a full width shelf:

1. Remove items from the shelf.

2. Slide the shelf straight out to the stop.

3. Depending on your model, lift back or front of the shelf past

the stop. Slide shelf out the rest of the way.
