REMOVE THE PACKAGING
NOTE:
 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.
WATER SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS
Read all directions before you begin.
IMPORTANT:
When your refrigerator was installed, the water connection from the water source should have been connected to your refrigerator. If your refrigerator is not connected to a water source, see “Connect to Water Line” in the Installation Instructions. If you have any questions about your water connection, see “Troubleshooting” or call a licensed, qualified plumber.
If you turn the refrigerator on before the water line is connected, turn the ice maker Off. See “Ice Maker and Storage Bin.”
All installations must meet local plumbing code requirements.
Connect to potable water supply only.
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.
WATER PRESSURE
A cold water supply with water pressure 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, see “Troubleshooting” or call a licensed, qualified plumber.
NOTE: If the water pressure is less than what is required, the flow of water from the water dispenser could decrease or ice cubes could be hollow or irregular shaped. 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 psi (276 kPa).
If the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system is less than 40 psi (276 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.

CLEAN THE ICE STORAGE BIN
NOTE: It is normal for ice to stick together in the ice bin. Ice may be dispensed or used more frequently which will break up the ice. It is recommended that the ice container be emptied and cleaned as needed.
To clean the ice storage bin:
1. Empty the ice container. Use warm water to
melt the ice if necessary.
NOTE: Do not use anything sharp to break up the ice in the bin or bucket. This can cause damage to the ice container and the dispenser mechanism.
2. Wash ice bin with a mild detergent, rinse
well and dry thoroughly. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners or solvents.
REMEMBER:
Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Allow 3 days to completely fill ice container.
Discard the first three batches of ice produced to avoid impurities that may be flushed out of the system.
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 a softened water supply cannot be avoided, make sure the water softener is operating properly and is well maintained.
It is normal for the ice cubes to be attached at the corners. They will break apart easily.
For Style 1 ice maker, do not force the wire shutoff arm up or down.
Do not store anything on top of the ice maker or in the ice storage bin/bucket.
WATER FILTRATION SYSTEM
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.
WATER FILTER INDICATOR (ON SOME MODELS)
The water filter indicator, located on the control
panel, will help you know when to change the water filter.
A new water filter should display a reading of 99%. The reading in the display will decrease as the filter life is used. A replacement water filter should be ordered when “Order Filter” is displayed. It is recommended that you replace the filter when “Change Filter” is displayed or when water flow to your water dispenser and/or ice maker decreases noticeably. See “Changing the Water Filter” later in this section.
NOTE: Dispenser models have a filter reset on the freezer compartment door. Non-Dispenser models have a Good/Order Filter/Replace Filter indicator.
After changing the water filter, press and hold RESET for2 seconds until the status display changes to 99%.
CHANGING THE WATER FILTER
The water filter is located in the base grille below the freezer compartment door. It is not necessary to remove the base grille to remove the filter.
1. Remove the filter by pressing the eject
button and pulling straight out on the filter cap.
NOTES:
 Avoid twisting the cap when removing
the filter because this could cause the cap to come off. If this occurs, replace the cap and pull the filter straight out.
 There will be water in the filter. Some
spilling may occur.

REFRIGERATOR SHELVES
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.
The shelves in your refrigerator are adjustable to meet your individual storage needs.
Storing similar food items together in your refrigerator 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 help save energy.
SHELVES AND SHELF FRAMES
To remove and replace a shelf/frame:
1. Remove the shelf by tilting it up at the front
and lifting it out of the shelf supports. Pull shelf straight out.
2. Reposition the shelf supports in the desired
location. Check that they are level and firmly inserted in the support rails.
3. Place the back of the shelf in the shelf
supports.
4. Lower the front of the shelf and make sure
that it is in position.
TEMPERATURE CONTROLLED DELI DRAWER
The control for the deli drawer adjusts the temperature of the drawer. Cold air flows into the drawer through the air duct between the freezer and the refrigerator. Adjusting the control allows more or less cold air through the air duct.
ADJUST THE TEMPERATURE (DISPENSER MODELS)
1. Choose a setting based on the item to be
stored in the pan.
2. Push the button that corresponds to that
setting.
3. The indicator light for that setting will
illuminate to verify that the pan is ready to be loaded.

FREEZER BASKET
FROZEN FOOD STORAGE GUIDE
Storage times will vary according to the quality and type of food, the type of packaging or wrap used (should be airtight and moisture-proof), and the storage temperature. Ice crystals inside a sealed package are normal. This simply means that moisture in the food and air inside the package have condensed, creating ice crystals.
Put no more unfrozen food into the freezer than will freeze within 24 hours (no more than 2 to 3 lbs of food per cubic foot [907-1,350 g per 28 L] of freezer space). Leave enough space in the freezer for air to circulate around packages. Be sure to leave enough room for the door to close tightly.
For more information on preparing food for freezing, check a freezer guide or reliable cookbook.
REPLACING THE PRODUCE PRESERVER
The disposable packets should be replaced every 6 months or when the status indicator changes completely from white to red.
