SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Proper Disposal of Your Old Refrigerator

WARNING

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.” If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator, please follow these instructions to help prevent accidents.

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.

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.

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.

Remove the Packaging

■ Remove tape and glue residue from surfaces before turning

on the refrigerator. Rub 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.”

■ Dispose of/recycle all packaging materials.

Clean Before Using

After you remove all of the packaging 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. Tempered glass is designed to shatter into many small, pebble-size pieces. This is normal. Glass shelves and covers are heavy. Use both hands when removing them to avoid dropping.

Location Requirements

Electrical 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" (1.25 cm) space at the top and behind the refrigerator. If your refrigerator has an ice maker, allow extra space at the back for the water line connections. When installing your refrigerator next to a fixed wall, leave 2¹⁄₂" (6.3 cm) minimum on the hinge side (some models require more) to allow for the door to swing open.

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

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.

NOTE: Before performing any type of installation, cleaning, or removing a light bulb, turn Cooling OFF, and then disconnect the refrigerator from the electrical source. When you are finished, reconnect the refrigerator to the electrical source and turn Cooling ON. See “Using the Controls.”

¹⁄₂" (1.25 cm)

2¹⁄₂" (6.3 cm)

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

IMPORTANT:

■ All installations must meet local plumbing code requirements.

■ Do not use a piercing-type or ³⁄₁₆" (4.76 mm) saddle valve

which reduces water flow and clogs more easily.

■ Use copper tubing and check for leaks. Install copper tubing

only in areas where the household temperatures will remain above freezing.

■ For models with water filters, the disposable water filter

should be replaced at least every 6 months.

■ ¹⁄₄" Nut driver

■ ¹⁄₄" Drill bit

■ Cordless drill

Water Pressure

A cold water supply with water pressure of between 35 and 120 psi (241 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 35 and 120 psi (241 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.

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" 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 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.

Connect to Refrigerator

1. Create a service loop (minimum diameter of 2 ft [61 cm]) with

the copper tubing. Avoid kinks when coiling the copper tubing.

2. Remove the plastic cap from water valve inlet port. Place a

compression nut and sleeve on the copper tubing.

3. Insert the end of the copper tubing into the water valve inlet

port. Shape tubing slightly so that the tubing feeds straight into the port to avoid kinks.

4. Slide the compression nut over the sleeve and screw into the

water valve inlet port.

Connect the Water Supply

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

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" to 1¹⁄₄" (12.7 mm to 31.8 mm) vertical cold water

pipe near the refrigerator.

IMPORTANT:

■ Make sure it is a cold water pipe.

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

from the connection on the rear of the 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.

5. Using a cordless drill, drill a ¹⁄₄" hole in the cold water pipe you

have selected.

REFRIGERATOR CARE

Cleaning

WARNING

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 avoid buildup of odors. 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 avoid 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.

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.

■ To keep your stainless steel refrigerator looking like new

and to remove minor scuffs or marks, it is suggested that you use the manufacturer’s approved Stainless Steel Cleaner and Polish, Part Number 20000008. To order the cleaner, call 1-877-232-6771 U.S.A. or 1-800-807-6777 Canada.

IMPORTANT: This cleaner is for stainless steel parts only! Do not allow the Stainless Steel Cleaner and Polish to come

into contact with any plastic parts such as the trim pieces, dispenser covers or door gaskets. If unintentional contact does occur, clean plastic part with a sponge and mild detergent in warm water. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.

IMPORTANT: Air trapped in the water system may cause water and filter to eject. Always dispense water for at least 2 minutes before removing the filter or blue bypass cap.

1. Turn filter counterclockwise to remove.

2. Remove sealing label from replacement filter and insert the

filter end into the filter head.

3. Turn the filter clockwise until it stops. Snap the filter cover

closed.

NOTE: The dispenser feature may be used without a water filter installed. Your water will not be filtered. If this option is chosen, replace the filter with the blue bypass cap.

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.

5. Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.

■ New installation? Allow 24 hours following installation for the

refrigerator to cool completely. NOTE: Adjusting the temperature controls to coldest setting

will not cool either compartment 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, doors are opened often, or if the doors have been left open.

The doors 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.

The doors are difficult to open

WARNING

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

■ Gaskets dirty or sticky? Clean gaskets and contact surfaces

with mild soap and warm water. Rinse and dry with soft cloth.

Temperature and Moisture

Temperature is too warm

■ New installation? Allow 24 hours following installation for the

refrigerator to cool completely.

■ Door(s) opened often or left open? Allows warm air to enter

refrigerator. Minimize door openings and keep doors fully closed.

■ Large load of food added? Allow several hours for

refrigerator to return to normal temperature.

■ Controls set correctly for the surrounding conditions?

Adjust the controls a setting colder. Check temperature in 24 hours. See “Using the Control(s).”

There is interior moisture buildup

The ice cubes are hollow or small

NOTE: This is an indication of low water pressure.

■ Water shutoff valve not fully open? Turn the water shutoff

valve fully open.

■ Kink in the water source line? A kink in the line can reduce

water flow. Straighten the water source line.

■ Water filter installed on the refrigerator? Remove filter and

operate ice maker. If ice quality improves, then the filter may be clogged or incorrectly installed. Replace filter or reinstall it correctly.

■ Reverse osmosis water filtration system connected to

your cold water supply? This can decrease water pressure. See “Water Supply Requirements.”

■ Questions remain regarding water pressure? Call a

licensed, qualified plumber.

NOTE: Some moisture buildup is normal.

■ Humid room? Contributes to moisture buildup.

■ Door(s) opened often or left open? Allows humid air to enter

refrigerator. Minimize door openings and keep doors fully closed.

Ice and Water

The ice maker is not producing ice or not enough ice

■ 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.

■ Kink in the water source line? A kink in the line can reduce

water flow. Straighten the water source line.

■ Ice maker turned on? Make sure wire shutoff arm or switch

(depending on model) is in the ON position.

■ New installation? Wait 24 hours after ice maker installation

for ice production to begin. Wait 72 hours for full ice production.

■ Freezer door closed completely? Firmly close the freezer

compartment door. If the freezer compartment door will not close all the way, see “The doors will not close completely.”

■ Large amount of ice recently removed? Allow 24 hours for

ice maker to produce more ice.

■ Ice cube jammed in the ice maker ejector arm?

Remove ice from the ejector arm with a plastic utensil.

■ Water filter installed on the refrigerator? Remove filter and

operate ice maker. If ice volume improves, then the filter may be clogged or incorrectly installed. Replace filter or reinstall it correctly.

■ Reverse osmosis water filtration system connected to

your cold water supply? This can decrease water pressure. See “Water Supply Requirements.”

Off-taste, odor or gray color in the ice

■ New plumbing connections? New plumbing connections

can cause discolored or off-flavored ice.

■ Ice stored too long? Discard ice. Wash ice bin. Allow

24 hours for ice maker to make new ice.

■ Odor transfer from food? Use airtight, moisture proof

packaging to store food.

■ Are there minerals (such as sulfur) in the water? A water

filter may need to be installed to remove the minerals.

■ Water filter installed on the refrigerator? Gray or dark

discoloration in ice indicates that the water filtration system needs additional flushing. Flush the water system before using a new water filter. Replace water filter when indicated. See “Water Filtration System.”

The water dispenser will not operate properly

■ 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.

■ Kink in the water source line? Straighten the water source

line.

■ New installation? Flush and fill the water system. See “Water

Dispenser.”

■ Is the water pressure at least 35 psi (241 kPa)? The water

pressure to the home determines the flow from the dispenser. See “Water Supply Requirements.”

■ Water filter installed on the refrigerator? Remove filter and

operate dispenser. If water flow increases, the filter may be clogged or incorrectly installed. Replace filter or reinstall it correctly.

■ Refrigerator door closed completely? Close the door firmly.

If it does not close completely, see “The doors will not close completely.”

■ Recently removed the doors? Make sure the water

dispenser wire/tube assembly has been properly reconnected. See “Refrigerator Door(s) and Drawer.”
