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-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.

IMPORTANT: If this product is connected to a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) protected outlet, nuisance tripping of the power supply may occur, resulting in loss of cooling. Food quality and flavor may be affected. If nuisance tripping has occurred, and if the condition of the food appears poor, dispose of it.

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.

Explosion Hazard

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

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

NOTES:

■ The cabinet depth refrigerator can be installed into a recessed

opening, at the end of cabinets or as a freestanding refrigerator.

■ If you are installing the refrigerator to fit flush with the front of

the base cabinets, all shoe molding and baseboards must be removed from the rear of the refrigerator opening. Allow for 1" (2.54 cm) of space behind the refrigerator.

■ For full-overlay cabinet doors, the height of the opening must

be 69¹⁄₈" (175.6 cm).

■ Location should permit doors to open fully. See the “Door

Swing Dimensions” section.

■ Do not install the refrigerator near an oven, radiator, or other

heat source, nor in a location where the temperature will fall below 55°F (13°C).

■ Floor must support refrigerator weight (more than 600 lbs

[272 kg], door panels and contents).

Water Supply Requirements

Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation. Read and follow the instructions provided with any tools listed here.

TOOLS NEEDED:

■ Flat-blade screwdriver

■ ⁷⁄₁₆" and ¹⁄₂" Open-end or two

adjustable wrenches

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 ³⁄₁₆" (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.

■ ¹⁄₄" Nut driver

■ ¹⁄₄" Drill bit

■ Cordless drill

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).

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Unpack the 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.

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” in the Use & Care Guide.

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

When Moving Your Refrigerator:

Your refrigerator is heavy. When moving the refrigerator for cleaning or service, be sure to cover the floor with cardboard or hardboard to avoid floor damage. 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.

Clean Before Using

WARNING

Broken Glass Hazard Do not hit refrigerator glass doors. Protect glass surface and edges during installation or

removal of doors. Failure to do so can result in serious eye injury or

minor cuts.

Remove the Packaging

Dispose of/recycle all 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.

IMPORTANT:

■ Use ³⁄₈" socket wrench to remove skids.

■ All four leveling legs must contact the floor to support and

stabilize the full weight of the refrigerator.

After you remove all of the package materials, clean the inside of your refrigerator before using it. See the cleaning instructions in the Use & Care Guide.

Important information to know about glass shelves, covers and door panels (on some models):

• 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. Glass shelves and covers are heavy. Use special care when removing them to avoid impact from dropping.

• Do not hit the glass door panels with pots, pans, furniture, toys or other objects. Scratching, hitting, jarring or stressing the glass may weaken its structure, causing an increased likelihood of breakage at a later date.

• For your protection, tempered glass is designed to shatter into many small, pebble-size pieces. This is normal.

Install Custom Door Panels

1. Remove any packing tape.

2. Remove the refrigerator and freezer door trims from the hinge

side of each door by pulling the trim away from the bottom of the door first.

3. Partially unscrew the two screws that hold the top trim in

place. It is not necessary to completely remove the screws. Loosen the screws at least ¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm) from the trim to allow the panels to slide freely.

4. Remove the existing door panels, if panels were provided.

5. Slide custom door panels into place.

NOTE: The door panels may require ¹⁄₈" (3.18 mm) cardboard fillers behind the panels to keep them from being loose in that area.

6. Replace the hinge side trims by inserting the notched end

under the top trim first.

7. Tighten the two top trim screws.

5. Fasten shutoff valve to cold water pipe with pipe clamp. Be

sure outlet end is solidly in the

¹⁄₄" (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 slowly 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.

6. Slip compression sleeve and compression nut on copper

tubing as shown in the diagram. Insert the end of the tubing into the outlet end of the shutoff valve as far as it will go. Screw the compression nut onto the outlet end with an adjustable wrench. Do not overtighten.

7. Place the free end of the tubing into a container or sink, turn

ON main water supply and flush out tubing until water is clear. Turn OFF the shutoff valve on the water pipe.

Install New Water Line

(if required)

TOOLS NEEDED:

■ Flat-blade screwdriver

■ ⁷⁄₁₆" and ¹⁄₂" Open-end or

two adjustable wrenches

1. Turn OFF main water supply. Turn ON nearest faucet long

enough to clear line of water.

2. Find a

¹⁄₂" (12.70 mm) to 1¹⁄₄" (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.

3. Determine the length of copper tubing you need. Measure

from the connection on the lower left rear 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.

4. Using a cordless drill, drill a

¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm) hole in the cold

water pipe you have selected.

Prepare the Water System

Please read before using the water system. Immediately after installation, follow the steps below to make sure

that the water system is properly cleaned.

1. Open the freezer door and turn off the ice maker. The On/Off

switch is located on the top right side of the freezer compartment. Move the switch to the OFF (right) setting as shown.

NOTE: Make sure the base grille filter is properly installed and the cap is in the horizontal position.

Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system. Systems certified for cyst reduction may be used on disinfected waters that may contain filterable cysts.

2. Flush the water system. Use a sturdy container to depress

and hold the water dispenser lever for 5 seconds, then release it for 5 seconds. Repeat until water begins to flow. Once water begins to flow, continue depressing and releasing the dispenser lever (5 seconds on, 5 seconds off) until a total of 3 gal. (12 L) has been dispensed. This will flush air from the filter and water dispensing system, and prepare the water filter for use. Additional flushing may be required in some households. As air is cleared from the system, water may spurt out of the dispenser.

3. Open the freezer door and turn on the ice maker. Move the

switch to the ON (left) position. See the Use & Care Guide for further instructions on the operation of your ice maker.

■ Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice.

■ Discard the first three batches of ice produced.

■ Depending on your model, you may want to select the

maximum ice feature to increase the production of ice.

Level Refrigerator

IMPORTANT: All four leveling legs must contact the floor to support and stabilize the full weight of the refrigerator.

4. If you want, you may now use the four leveling bolts to raise

the refrigerator to reduce the gap between the refrigerator top hinge and the cabinet opening. Check that all four leveling legs still touch the floor and that the cabinet doors above the refrigerator open all the way.
