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.

CARE AND CLEANING

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

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.

A. Eject button B. Filter cap

2. Remove the cap by turning it

REFRIGERATOR SHELVES

Important information to know about glass shelves and covers:

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.
