Proper DisposalofYourOld Refrigerator

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.

important information to know about disposal of
refrigerants:

Dispose of refrigerator in accordance with Federal and Local
regulations. Refrigerants must be evacuated by a licensed,
EPA certified refrigerant technician in accordance with
established procedures.

INSTALLATIONINSTRUCTIONS

%Be ge <s

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

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.

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.

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 V2"
(1.25 cm) of space on each side and at the top. Allow for a 1"

(2.54 cm) space 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 a 33/4'' (9.5 cm) minimum space between the refrigerator and

wall to allow 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).

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.

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.

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.

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 have finished,
reconnect the refrigerator to the electrical source and turn Cooling
ON. See "Using the Control(s)."

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 • V4"Nut driver

• 74d'and W' Open-end or two • Y4"Drill bit
adjustable wrenches

• Cordless drill

IMPORTAN 1"."

• All installations must meet local plumbing code requirements.

• Do not use a piercing-type or 34d' (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.

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. Ifyou 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. Find a V_" to 1Y4" (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 V4"(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 Y4"hole in the cold water pipe you
have selected.

toward you.

2. Raise or lower the cabinet.
Using a 1/4"hex driver, turn the leveling screw on each side to

raise or lower that side of the refrigerator.
NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the

refrigerator takes some weight off the leveling screws. This
makes it easier to turn the screws. It may take several turns of
the leveling screw to adjust the tilt of the refrigerator.

• To raise, turn the leveling screw clockwise.

• To lower, turn the leveling screw counterclockwise.

REFRIGERATORUSE

Jpe g ©oo s

There are two refrigerator compartment doors. The doors can be
opened and closed either separately or together.

or use a drawer organizer to store smaller items such as yogurt,

juice boxes and lunch meat within easy access. To purchase the
Short Horizontal Organizer, Part Number W10328403A, contact
your dealer or call 1-800-422-1230 in the U.S.A. or

1-800-807-6777 in Canada.

To Adjust the Temperature Control:

The refrigerated drawer has a separate temperature control which
regulates only the temperature of the drawer.

The temperature control regulates how much refrigerated air is
allowed to circulate into the drawer. Adjusting the control allows

more or less air to circulate.

• Slide the control toward Produce for less cold air and toward
Deli for more cold air.

Ice Production Rate

• Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the
first three batches of ice produced.

• The ice maker should produce approximately 8 to 12 batches
of ice in a 24-hour period.

• To increase ice production, lower the freezer and refrigerator
temperature. See "Using the Controls." Wait 24 hours

between adjustments.
NOTE: Setting the freezer to a colder temperature may make

some foods, such as ice cream, harder.

IMPORTANT:

After connecting the refrigerator to a water source or replacing
the water filter, flush the water system. Use asturdy container

to depress and hold the water dispenser pad 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 pad (5 seconds on, 5 seconds off)

until a total of 4 gal. (15 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.

• Allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to cool down and chill
water.

Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the
first three batches of ice produced.

The dispensing system will not operate when the refrigerator
door is open.

Calibrate Measured Fill

Household water pressure may affect the accuracy of the
Measured Fill feature. So, for optimum performance of your water
dispenser, you must first calibrate Measured Fill.

IMPORTANT: Flush the water system before calibrating Measured
Fill.

Remember

The quality of your ice will be only as good as the quality of the
water supplied to your ice maker. Avoid connecting the ice
maker to a softened water supply. Water softener chemicals
(such as salt) can damage parts of the ice maker and lead to

poor quality ice. If asoftened water supply cannot be avoided,
make sure the water softener is operating properly and is well

maintained.

• Do not use anything sharp to break up the ice in the bin. This
can cause damage to the ice bin and dispenser mechanism.

• Do not store anything in the ice storage bin.
