■ Tak e o ff th e d oo rs.

■ 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.

REFRIGERATOR USE

Install Air Filter

(on some models)

On some models, your refrigerator's accessory packet includes an air filter, which must be installed prior to use. On some models, the air filter is already installed at the factory.

The air filter reduces the buildup of odors. This helps to maintain a cleaner environment inside the refrigerator.

Installing the Air Filter (on some models)

4. On models with notches:

■ Slide the indicator down into the notches, facing outward.

NOTE: The indicator will not easily slide into the notches if the rear bubble has not been popped.

■ Close the air filter door, and check that the indicator is

visible through the rectangular hole in the door.

On models without notches:

■ Store the indicator in a visible place you will easily

remember - either inside the refrigerator, or elsewhere in your kitchen or home.

Replacing the Air Filter

The disposable air filter should be replaced every 6 months, when the status indicator has completely changed from white to red.

To order a replacement air filter, see “Accessories.”

1. Remove the old air filter by squeezing in on the side tabs.

2. Remove the old status indicator.

3. Install the new air filter and status indicator using the

instructions in the previous sections.

The filter should be installed behind the vented door, which is located (depending on your model) along either the rear or left interior wall near the top of the refrigerator compartment.

1. Remove the air filter from its packaging.

2. Lift open the vented door.

3. Snap the filter into place.

Using the Controls

The refrigerator and freezer controls are located on the dispenser panel.

IMPORTANT: The display screen on the dispenser control panel will turn off automatically and enter “sleep” mode when the control buttons and dispenser pads have not been used for 2 minutes or more. While in “sleep” mode, the first press of a control button will only reactivate the display screen, without changing any settings. After reactivation, changes to any settings can then be made. If no changes are made within 2 minutes, the display will re-enter “sleep” mode.

■ Touch any control button on the dispenser panel to activate

the display screen. The home screen will appear as shown.

Adjusting the Controls

For your convenience, your refrigerator and freezer controls are preset at the factory. When you first install your refrigerator, make sure that the controls are still set to the “mid-settings.” The factory recommended set points are 37°F (3°C) for the refrigerator and 0°F (-18°C) for the freezer.

IMPORTANT:

■ Wait 24 hours before you put food into the refrigerator. If you

add food before the refrigerator has cooled completely, your food may spoil.

NOTE: Adjusting the set points to a colder than recommended setting will not cool the compartments any faster.

■ If the temperature is too warm or too cold in the refrigerator or

freezer, first check the air vents to be sure they are not blocked before adjusting the controls.

■ The preset settings should be correct for normal household

usage. The controls are set correctly when milk or juice is as cold as you like and when ice cream is firm.

■ Wait at least 24 hours between adjustments. Recheck the

temperatures before other adjustments are made.

To view and adjust the set points, press and hold the TEMP button for 3 seconds. When adjust mode is activated, adjusting information will appear on the display screen.

When adjusting temperature set points, use the following chart as a guide.

same time, press OPTIONS a third time. Both “Speed Ice” and “Max Cold” will appear on the display screen.

Both features will remain on for 24 hours unless manually turned off.

■ To turn both features off, press OPTIONS a fourth time. Both

“Speed Ice” and “Max Cold” will disappear from the display screen.

When Speed Ice and/or Max Cold are active, the temperature displays will not change. After 24 hours, the refrigerator returns to the previous temperature set points.

NOTE: If increased ice production is desired at all times, change the freezer control to a lower setting. Setting the freezer to a colder temperature may make some foods, such as ice cream, harder.

Door Ajar Alarm

The Door Ajar Alarm feature sounds an alarm when the refrigerator or freezer door is open for 5 minutes and the product cooling is turned on. The alarm will repeat every 2 minutes. Close both doors to turn it off. The feature then resets and will reactivate when either door is left open again for 5 minutes.

NOTE: To mute the audible alarm while keeping the doors open, such as while cleaning the inside of the refrigerator, press any button on the control panel. The alarm sound will be temporarily turned off, but “Door Ajar” will still be displayed on the dispenser control panel.

■ To turn all sounds back on, press and hold LIGHT and FILTER

at the same time for 3 seconds again.

Dual Evaporator (on some models)

Some models come equipped with a dual sequential evaporation system, which includes two separate evaporators for the refrigerator and freezer compartments.

Dual evaporation results in higher humidity, which helps keep foods in the refrigerator from spoiling as quickly and improves food quality and freshness in the freezer due to decreased freezer burn. In addition, the dual evaporation system helps keep food smells in the refrigerator from transferring to ice in the freezer.

NOTE: The dual evaporation system is always activated when your refrigerator is operating. You do not need to press any buttons to turn it on.

Convertible Drawer Temperature Control

(on some models)

The control can be adjusted to properly chill meats or vegetables. The air inside the pan is cooled to avoid “spot” freezing and can be set to keep meats at the National Livestock and Meat Board recommended storage temperatures of 28° to 32°F (-2° to 0°C).

To store meat:

Set the control to one of the three MEAT settings to store meat at its optimal storage temperature.

To store vegetables:

Set the control to VEG to store vegetables at their optimal storage temperatures.

NOTE: If food starts to freeze, move the control to the right (less cold), toward the VEG setting. Remember to wait 24 hours between adjustments.

Crisper Humidity Control

(on some models)

You can control the amount of humidity in the moisture-sealed crisper. Adjust the control to any setting between LOW and HIGH.

LOW (open) for best storage of fruits and vegetables with skins. HIGH (closed) for best storage of fresh, leafy vegetables.

Chilled Door Bin

(on some models)

Cool air from the freezer is directed to the refrigerator door bin directly beneath the vents.

NOTE: The dairy compartment and can rack are not associated with the Chilled Door Bin feature.

Chilled Door Bin Control

The chilled door bin control is located on the left-hand side of the refrigerator compartment.

A. Chilled door bin control

■ Slide the door chill control to the left to reduce the flow of cold

air to the bin and make it less cold.

■ Slide the door chill control to the right to increase the flow of

cold air to the bin and make it colder.

Water and Ice Dispensers

IMPORTANT: After connecting the refrigerator to a water source or replacing the water filter, flush the water system. Use a sturdy 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 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.

NOTES:

■ The dispensing system will not operate when the freezer door

is open.

■ 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. Wait 72 hours for full ice production.

■ The display screen on the dispenser control panel will turn off

automatically and enter “sleep” mode when the control buttons and dispenser pad have not been used for 2 minutes or more. While in “sleep” mode, the first press of a control button will only reactivate the display screen, without changing any settings. After reactivation, changes to any settings can then be made. If no changes are made within 2 minutes, the display will re-enter “sleep” mode.

The Water Dispenser

IMPORTANT:

■ Dispense at least 1 qt (1 L) of water every week to maintain a

fresh supply.

■ If the flow of water from the dispenser decreases, it could be

caused by low water pressure.

■ With the water filter removed, dispense 1 cup [237 mL] of

water. If 1 cup of water is dispensed in 8 seconds or less, the water pressure to the refrigerator meets the minimum requirement.

■ If it takes longer than 8 seconds to dispense 1 cup of

water, the water pressure to the refrigerator is lower than recommended. See “Water Supply Requirements” or “Troubleshooting” for suggestions.

To Dispense Water:

1. Press the SELECT arrows on the dispenser control panel, until

“Water” is selected.

2. Press a sturdy glass against the dispenser pad.

3. Remove the glass to stop dispensing.

The Dispenser Light

When you use the dispenser, the light will automatically turn on. If you want the light to be on continuously, you may choose either ON or DIM.

ON: Press LIGHT to turn the dispenser light on. “On” will appear on the display screen.

DIM: Press LIGHT a second time to select DIM mode. “Dim” will appear on the display screen. The dispenser light will remain on, but at a lower intensity.

OFF: Press LIGHT a third time to turn the dispenser light off. The dispenser lights are LEDs that cannot be changed. If it

appears that your dispenser lights are not working, see “Troubleshooting” for more information.

The Ice Dispenser

Ice dispenses from the ice maker storage bin in the freezer when the dispenser pad is pressed. To turn off the ice maker, see “Ice Maker and Storage Bin.”

Your ice maker can produce both crushed and cubed ice. Before dispensing ice, select which type of ice you prefer by pressing the SELECT arrows.

The display screen indicates which type of ice is selected.

CRUSHED CUBED

For crushed ice, cubes are crushed before being dispensed. This may cause a slight delay when dispensing crushed ice. Noise from the ice crusher is normal, and pieces of ice may vary in size. When changing from crushed to cubed, a few ounces of crushed ice will be dispensed along with the first cubes.

To Dispense Ice:

1. Make sure the desired type of ice is selected. To switch

between cubed and crushed, press the SELECT arrows.

WARNING

The Dispenser Lock

The dispenser can be turned off for easy cleaning or to avoid unintentional dispensing by small children and pets.

NOTE: The lock feature does not shut off power to the refrigerator, to the ice maker, or to the dispenser light. It simply deactivates the controls and dispenser pad. To turn off the ice maker, see “Ice Maker and Storage Bin.”

■ Press and hold LIGHT for 3 seconds to lock the dispenser.

“Dispenser Locked” will appear on the display screen.

■ Press and hold LIGHT a second time to unlock the dispenser.

Ice Maker and Storage Bin

(on some models)

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

first three batches of ice produced.

■ 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.

■ Do not use anything sharp to break up the ice in the storage

bin. This can cause damage to the ice container and the dispenser mechanism.

■ Do not store anything on top of or in the ice maker or storage

bin.

Style 1

Cut Hazard Use a sturdy glass when dispensing ice. Failure to do so can result in cuts.

2. Press a sturdy glass against the dispenser pad. Hold the

glass close to the dispenser opening so ice does not fall outside of the glass.

IMPORTANT: You do not need to apply a lot of pressure to the pad in order to activate the ice dispenser. Pressing hard will not make the ice dispense faster or in greater quantities.

3. Remove the glass to stop dispensing. NOTE: Ice may continue to dispense for several seconds after

removing the glass from the pad. The dispenser may continue to make noise for a few seconds after dispensing.

Turning the Ice Maker On/Off:

The On/Off switch can only be accessed when the ice storage bin has been removed. The switch is located on the freezer door, on the left side of the wall that surrounds the ice storage bin. See the following section for bin removal instructions.

■ To turn on the ice maker, slide the control to the ON (left)

position.

■ To manually turn off the ice maker, slide the control to the OFF

(right) position.

NOTE: The ice maker has an automatic shutoff to keep the

storage bin from overfilling during normal operation. The ice maker sensors will automatically stop ice production, but the control will remain in the ON (left) position.

Removing and Replacing Ice Storage Bin:

1. Press down the release lever and tilt the bucket outward. Use

both hands to hold the base of the storage bin, then lift it up and out.

Removing and Replacing Ice Storage Bin:

1. Pull the covering panel up from the bottom.

2. Lift the wire shutoff arm so it clicks into the OFF (up) position.

3. Lift up the front of the storage bin and pull it out.

A. Release lever

NOTE: It is not necessary to turn the ice maker control to the OFF (right) position when removing the storage bin. The sensor cover (“flipper door”), located on the right wall of the freezer door, stops the ice maker from producing ice if the door is open or the storage bin is removed.

A. On/Off switch B. Sensor cover

2. Replace the bin by sliding it onto the door, then tilting it back into an upright position. The release lever will click when the bin is securely in place.

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 Status Light

The water filter status light will help you know when to change your water filter.

■ When the dispenser control panel’s water filter status display

changes to “ORDER,” this tells you that it is almost time to change the water filter cartridge.

■ Replace the water filter cartridge when the water filter status

display changes to “REPLACE.”

If water flow to your water dispenser or ice maker decreases noticeably, change the filter sooner. The filter should be replaced at least every 6 months, depending on your water quality and usage.

■ After changing the water filter, reset the status light by

pressing and holding the FILTER button for 3 seconds. When the system is reset, the “ORDER” and “REPLACE” icons will disappear from the display screen.

Changing the Water Filter

Style 2

Turning the Ice Maker On/Off:

■ To turn ON the ice maker, simply lower the wire shutoff arm.

■ To manually turn off the ice maker, lift the wire shutoff arm to

the OFF (arm up) position and listen for the click. Ice can still be dispensed, but no more can be made.

NOTE: The ice maker has an automatic shutoff to keep the storage bin from overfilling during normal operation. As ice is made, the ice cubes will fill the ice storage bin, and the ice cubes will raise the wire shutoff arm to the OFF (arm up) position. Do not force the wire shutoff arm up or down.

1. Locate the water filter in the top-right corner of the refrigerator

compartment.

2. Lift open the filter cover door. The filter will be released and

then eject as the door is opened.

3. When the door is completely open, pull the filter straight out. NOTE: There may be some water in the filter. Some spilling

may occur. Use a towel to wipe up any spills.

4. Take the new filter out of its packaging and remove the covers from the O-rings. Be sure the O-rings are still in place after the covers are removed.

5. With the arrow pointing up, align the new filter with the filter housing and slide it into place. The filter cover door will automatically begin to close as the new filter is inserted.

6. Close the filter cover door completely in order to snap the filter into place. You may need to press hard.

7. Flush the water system. See “Water and Ice Dispensers.”

REFRIGERATOR CARE

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.

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.

4. On some models, wash glass door panels with a clean

sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water. NOTE: Do not hit the glass 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.

5. 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. See the “Door Removal”

instructions, either in the User Instructions or the separate instruction sheet provided with your refrigerator.

■ Creaking/Cracking - occurs as ice is being ejected from the

ice maker mold.

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

■ Power cord unplugged? Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

■ Is outlet working? Plug in a lamp to see if the outlet is

working.

■ Household fuse blown or circuit breaker tripped? Replace

the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. If the problem continues, call an electrician.

■ Are controls on? Make sure the refrigerator controls are on.

See “Using the Controls.”

■ 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 refrigerator 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 refrigerator seems noisy

Refrigerator noise has been reduced over the years. Due to this reduction, you may hear intermittent noises from your new refrigerator that you did not notice from your old model. Below are listed some normal sounds with an explanation.

■ Buzzing - heard when the water valve opens to fill the ice

maker

■ Clicking/Snapping - valves opening or closing

■ Pulsating - fans/compressor adjusting to optimize

performance

■ Rattling - flow of refrigerant, water line, or from items placed

on top of the refrigerator

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

■ Are the gaskets dirty or sticky? Clean gaskets with mild

soap and warm water.

The refrigerator rocks and is not stable

■ What do I do if the refrigerator rocks and is not stable?

To stabilize the refrigerator, remove the base grille and lower the leveling feet until they touch the floor. See the “Door Removal” instructions, either in the User Instructions or the separate instruction sheet provided with your refrigerator.

The lights do not work

■ Is a light bulb loose in the socket or burned out? See

“Changing the Light Bulbs.”

■ Is the dispenser light set to OFF? On some models, the

dispenser light will operate only when a dispenser lever/pad is pressed. If you want the dispenser light to stay on continuously, set the dispenser light to ON, or (on some models) NIGHT LIGHT or AUTO or HALF or DIM. See “Water and Ice Dispensers.”

■ Is the dispenser light set to NIGHT LIGHT or AUTO? On

some models, if the dispenser is set to the NIGHT LIGHT or AUTO mode, be sure the dispenser light sensor is not blocked. See “Water and Ice Dispensers.”

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 Controls.”

There is interior moisture buildup

NOTE: Some moisture buildup is normal. Clean with a dry cloth.

■ 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.

■ 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. (This does not apply to models with the ice maker mounted at the top of the freezer door.)

■ 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.

■ Is there a water filter installed on the refrigerator? Gray or

dark discoloration in ice indicates that the water filtration system needs additional flushing.

The ice dispenser will not operate properly

■ Freezer door closed completely? Close the door firmly. If it

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

■ Ice bin installed correctly? Be sure the ice bin is firmly in

position.

■ New installation? Wait 24 hours after ice maker installation

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

■ Ice clogged in the ice storage bin or delivery chute?

Remove clogged ice, using a plastic utensil if necessary. Clean chute and bottom of storage bin using a warm moist cloth, and dry both thoroughly. To avoid clogging and maintain a fresh supply of ice, empty the storage bin and clean both the bin and delivery chute every two weeks.

■ Has the wrong ice been added to the bin? Use only cubes

produced by the current ice maker.

■ Has the ice melted around the auger (metal spiral) in the

ice bin? Empty the ice container. Use warm water to melt the ice if necessary.

WARNING

Cut Hazard Use a sturdy glass when dispensing ice. Failure to do so can result in cuts.

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.

■ 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.

■ Is the ice dispenser stalling while dispensing “crushed”

ice? Change the ice button from “crushed” to “cubed.” If cubed ice dispenses correctly, depress the button for “crushed” ice and begin dispensing again.

■ Has the dispenser arm been held in too long? Ice will stop

dispensing when the arm is held in too long. Wait 3 minutes for dispenser motor to reset before using again.

The water dispenser will not operate properly

■ Freezer door closed completely? Close the door firmly. If it

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

■ 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.

■ Is the water pressure at least 30 psi (207 kPa)? The water

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

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

source line.

■ New installation? Flush and fill the water system.

■ Water filter installed on the refrigerator? The filter may be

clogged or incorrectly installed.

■ Is a reverse osmosis water filtration system connected to

your cold water supply? See “Water Supply Requirements.”

Water is leaking from the dispenser

NOTE: One or two drops of water after dispensing is normal.

■ Glass not being held under the dispenser long enough?

Hold the glass under the dispenser for 2 to 3 seconds after releasing the dispenser lever/pad.

■ New installation? Flush the water system. See “Prepare the

Water System” or “Water and Ice Dispensers.”
