Setting up your refrigerator
Before using your refrigerator
• Remove the interior packaging, including bottom cushions, foam pads, and tapes.
• Remove the protective film from the doors and refrigerator body.
• Let your refrigerator stand upright for about 30 minutes before connecting it to power. This reduces the possibility of a
malfunction in the cooling system from improper handling during transportation.
• Wash the inside with a damp warm cloth soaked in a solution of one quart of lukewarm water to two tablespoons of
baking soda.
• Before putting in any fresh or frozen foods, let your freezer run for two to three hours. If the ambient temperature is
high, for example in summer, wait for four or more hours.
• Adjust the feet to keep your refrigerator level. See Leveling your refrigerator
• When moving your refrigerator, do not tilt it beyond 45° from the upright position.
Finding a suitable location
• Place your refrigerator on a floor that is strong enough to support your refrigerator when it is fully loaded.
• Do not install your refrigerator on carpeting or a rug.
• Your refrigerator is designed to be free standing and should not be recessed or built-in.
• If you locate your refrigerator next to a fixed wall, allow sufficient space on the sides for the doors to swing open.
• Position your refrigerator away from direct sunlight and sources of heat, such as a stove, heater, or radiator. Direct
sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase electrical consumption. Extremely cold
temperatures may also prevent your refrigerator from performing correctly.
• Avoid locating your refrigerator in moist areas.
Your refrigerator is designed to operate in a temperature range of 50° F (10° C) and 109° F (43° C). If you operate your
refrigerator outside this temperature range, your refrigerator may not work correctly.

Defrosting the freezer compartment
Tip: To avoid standing water when you defrost, place some towels on the floor in front of your refrigerator.
Although the freezer compartment automatically defrosts, a layer of frost may occur on the compartment’s interior walls if
the freezer is opened frequently or kept open too long. If the frost is too thick, choose a time when the freezer is nearly
empty, then:
1 Unplug your refrigerator.
2 Remove all food from the freezer compartment, and place the food into containers that will prevent it from melting.
3 Leave the freezer compartment open.
4 To speed the defrosting, you can:
• Place open containers with hot water inside the refrigerator.
• Use a plastic or wooden ice shovel (like a spatula) to remove thick layers of ice or frost. Do not use a sharp utensil (like
a knife) because you may damage your refrigerator.
5 When you finish defrosting, wipe the inside with a dry towel. If you need to clean the compartment, see Cleaning your
refrigerator on page 23.
6 Close the freezer compartment, plug your refrigerator into the power outlet, then put the food back into the freezer
compartment.
Replacing the water filter
After your refrigerator has operated for approximately six months (or 200 gallons), the WATER FILTER indicator turns on to
remind you to replace the water filter. For the best water quality, you should replace the water filter at that time.
• It is normal for black carbon fines (particles) to appear on the outside of your filter. This happens when the filter is jarred
in shipping. It is safe, so simply wipe it off.
• The filter connectors are larger to prevent leaks. You might have to twist the filter hard to make sure the connection is
secure.
• We apply a safe, NSF approved, food-grade silicone lubricant to our filter connectors.

3 Securely tape down all loose items inside your refrigerator.
4 Tap e t he door shut.
5 Make sure that your refrigerator does not tilt more than 45° from the upright position during transportation.
Tips on saving energy
• Locate your refrigerator in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing appliances or heating ducts and out
of direct sunlight.
• Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing them in your refrigerator. Overloading your refrigerator forces
the compressor to run longer. Foods that freeze too slowly may lose quality or spoil.
• Wrap foods correctly and wipe containers dry before placing them in your refrigerator. This cuts down on frost
build-up.
• Do not line the refrigerator storage shelves with aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper toweling. Liners interfere with cold
air circulation and make your refrigerator less efficient.
• Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches. Remove as many items as needed at one
time, and close the door as soon as possible.
• If a large quantity of food is placed in either the refrigerator or freezer compartments over a short period of time, you
should turn on the Super Cool or Super Freeze modes, as appropriate. See Using Super Cool to speed refrigerator
cooling on page 20 or Using Super Freeze to speed freezing on page 20 for additional information.

NS-RSS26SS0/NS-RSS26WH0
Tips on storing food
• Always store cooked meats on a refrigerator shelf above raw meats to avoid bacterial transfer. Keep raw meat on a plate
which is large enough to collect juices, and cover the plate with cling film or foil.
• Leave space around food. This allows cold air to circulate around your refrigerator so that all parts of your refrigerator
are kept cool.
• To prevent transfer of flavors and food drying out, wrap or cover each food item separately. Fruit and vegetables need
not be wrapped.
• Let hot food cool down before placing it in the refrigerator or freezer compartment. Placing hot food in the
fridge-freezer could spoil other food and lead to higher temperatures.
• To prevent cold air from escaping, try to limit the number of times you open the doors. When retuning from shopping,
sort foods to be kept in the refrigerator compartment before opening the doors. Only open the door to put food in or
take it out.
• Do not store food in the refrigerator which goes bad easily at low temperature, such as bananas and melons.
• When storing food in the refrigerator compartment, use a container with a lid whenever possible. This prevents
moisture from evaporating, and helps food keep its taste and nutrients.
• When storing food in the freezer compartment, wrap the food in polyethylene film, aluminum foil, or other types of
freezer storage products.
• Do not block air vents inside either compartment with food. Smooth circulation of cold air keeps the refrigerator and
freezer temperatures even.
• Do not open the doors frequently. Opening the doors lets warm air enter the compartments and can cause the
temperature to rise.
• To adjust the temperature control easily, do not store food near the temperature controls.
• Never keep too many foods in the door rack, because this may stop the door from fully closing.
• Do not store bottles in the freezer compartment. They may break when frozen.
• Do not refreeze food that has been thawed. This causes a loss of taste and nutrition.
• Store fruits and vegetables in the crisper to prevent excessive evaporation of water and freshness.
• Leave a small amount of “air space” when freezing liquids to allow for expansion.
• To make the best use of freezer space, freeze liquids (or solids with liquids, such as stew) in square blocks. Pour the
liquid into a freezer bag placed inside a square-sided container and freeze it. When the liquid is frozen, remove the bag
from the container and seal the bag.
Tips for shopping for frozen foods
• When you are buying frozen food, look at the storage guidelines on the packaging. Check the “Best Before” date. Do
not use food that is past this date.
• Check the temperature of the frozen food cabinet in the store where you buy your frozen foods.
• Make sure that the frozen food package is in perfect condition.
• Always buy frozen products last to avoid thawing while you shop.
• Keep frozen food together while shopping and on the trip home, to help to keep the food cooler.
• Don't buy frozen food unless you can freeze it right away.
• When transporting frozen food, use special insulated bags that you can buy from most supermarkets and hardware
stores. These keep frozen food colder longer.
• Freeze food in small quantities. It freezes faster and takes less time to thaw.
• If you are freezing large amounts of fresh food, turn on Super Freeze mode. This lowers the temperature in the freezer
so your food freezes faster. When the food is frozen, adjust the temperature back to its normal mode.
Troubleshooting
CAUTION: Do not try to repair your refrigerator yourself. Doing so invalidates the warranty.
PROBLEM SOLUTION
• Make sure that your refrigerator is securely plugged into a working outlet.
• Make sure that your power source has the correct voltage. Your refrigerator’s

• You may have left the doors open too long or opened them too frequently.
• Make sure that no obstacle is keeping the doors from closing correctly.
• Adjust the refrigerator or freezer compartment temperature. See Setting the
refrigerator temperature on page 19 or Setting the freezer temperature on page 19.
• Your refrigerator may not have enough clearance from walls or the ceiling. See
Providing correct ventilation
• Adjust the refrigerator or freezer compartment temperature. See Setting the
refrigerator temperature on page 19 or Setting the freezer temperature on page 19.
• After you install the water supply line, you should wait 12 hours before you try
dispensing ice. If the water is not sufficiently cooled, your refrigerator takes longer
to make ice.
• Make sure that the water line is connected and the water valve open. See
Connecting the water supply
• Make sure that the ice dispenser is not in off mode.
• Make sure that no ice is blocking the ice maker bucket or ice chute. See Cleaning
the ice storage bin on page 24.
• If the water pressure is less than 30 psi, try installing a booster pump to
compensate for the low pressure.
• Make sure that the freezer compartment temperature is not set too warm. Try
setting the freezer temperature lower. See Setting the freezer temperature
page 19
• If you just dispensed a large amount of ice, wait at least 90 minutes before
dispensing more ice.

My water dispenser is dripping.
My water is cloudy or contains
black carbon pieces.
My new filter is making noises or
sputtering.
My water tastes bad.
My refrigerator dispenses water
slowly.
A layer of frost occurs in one of
the compartments.
The refrigerator door is hard to
open or close.
The outside of the refrigerator is
hot.
• A few drops are normal. If water drips constantly, have a service technician check
your refrigerator’s water valve.
• Cloudy water is caused by microscopic air bubbles. Run one gallon or less (two to
three liters) of water from your dispenser to clear the air bubbles out.
• Black carbon pieces in the water are normal and appear with all carbon filters.
• Run one gallon or less (two to three liters) of water through your dispenser to
remove loose carbon pieces.
• Make sure that you soaked your filter in water for 15 minutes before installing.
• Noises and sputtering are caused by trapped air pockets. Run two to three gallons
(seven to 11 liters) gallons of water from your dispenser to push the air out.
• If you do not use your water dispenser for more than four days, run two gallons
(seven liters) of water through the dispenser before using it.
• Make sure that you replace your filter every three to six months to prevent bacteria
growth.
• Replace the water filter.
• A layer of frost may occur on the compartment’s interior walls if the freezer is
opened frequently or kept open too long.
• Make sure that the air outlets on the upper inside of the cabinets are not blocked
by food.
• Make sure that the doors are fully closed.
To remove the frost, see Defrosting the freezer compartment
• When you open the refrigerator door, warm air rushes inside. When you close the
door, the warm air rushes to the condenser which causes a vacuum. This causes the
door to be hard to open for about 10 to 15 seconds after closing.
• If the door is hard to open at other times, try rubbing paraffin wax or petroleum
jelly along the edges of the entire gasket. Paraffin wax is used for canning and is
safe for use around food.
Heat dissipation from the condenser may make the outside feel hot. This is normal and
happens if:
• The room temperature is high.
• You have too much food in your refrigerator.
• You open and close the doors excessively.

humidity is high.
• When you open the door, warm, moist outside air meets the cold dry air inside your
refrigerator. This is normal.
• There is too much food in the refrigerator compartment or the food has too high a
water content.
• The doors are not closed properly, resulting in too much frost.
