1/2" (1.27 cm)
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 nal 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 o by a switch. Do not use an extension cord.
NOTE: Before performing any type of installation or cleaning,
or removing a light bulb, disconnect the refrigerator from the
electrical source. When you are nished, reconnect the refrigerator

2" (5.08 cm)
NOTES:
■ This refrigerator is intended for use in a location where the
temperature ranges from a minimum of 55°F (13°C) to a
maximum of 110°F (43°C). The preferred room temperature
range for optimum performance, which reduces electricity
usage and provides superior cooling, is between 60°F (15°C)
and 90°F (32°C). It is recommended that you do not install the
refrigerator near a heat source, such as an oven or radiator.
■ Normal minimum cabinet cut-out width required for product
installation is 36" (91.44 cm). However, if the product is placed
against an extended wall and the ability to remove the crisper
pans is desired, an additional 18" (45.72 cm) of cabinet width
is required, so a total cabinet opening width of 54" (137.16 cm)
is recommended.
REFRIGERATOR USE
Ensuring Proper Air Circulation
In order to ensure proper temperatures, you need to permit air to
ow between the two sections. Cold air enters the bottom of the
freezer section and moves up. It then enters the refrigerator section
through the top vent. Air then returns to the freezer as shown.
Do not block any airow vents. If the vents are blocked, airow
will be obstructed and temperature and moisture problems may
occur.
8
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.
Using the Controls
For your convenience, your refrigerator controls are preset at the
factory. When you rst install your refrigerator, make sure that the
controls are still preset. The Refrigerator Control and the Freezer
Control should both be set to the “mid-settings”.
REFRIGERATOR FREEZER
If you need to adjust temperatures in the refrigerator or freezer,
use the settings listed in the chart below as a guide. Wait at least
24 hours between adjustments.
Condition/Reason: Adjustment:
Refrigerator too warm Refrigerator control one setting
Freezer too warm/
too little ice
Refrigerator too cold Refrigerator control one setting lower
Freezer too cold Freezer control one setting lower

REFRIGERATOR FEATURES
Your model may have some or all of these features.
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.
IMPORTANT:
The Refrigerator Control adjusts the refrigerator compartment
temperature. Every click on “Temp Setting” button makes the
refrigerator compartment more colder. Once you get the last level
the system will go back to the initial level.
■ The Freezer Control adjusts the freezer compartment
temperature. Settings to the front of the mid-setting make the
temperature less cold. Settings to the back of the mid-setting
make the temperature colder.
■ 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 Refrigerator and Freezer Controls to a higher
(colder) than recommended setting will not cool the comparments
any faster.
Adjusting the Controls
Refrigerator Shelves
(number of shelves varies by model)
Store similar foods together and adjust the shelves to t dierent
heights. This reduces the time the refrigerator door is open and
saves energy.
To Remove and Replace a Shelf:
1. Lift the back of the shelf to remove from the ribs. Pull the shelf
forward until it is released.
2. Replace the shelf by aligning the shelf with the ribs. Slide the
shelf onto the shelf supports. Be sure that the shelf is securely in

The deli drawer stores raisins, nuts, spreads, and other small items
at normal refrigerator temperatures.
To Remove and Replace the Deli Drawer:
1. Remove the deli drawer by sliding it straight out to the stop.
Lift the front up and out of the ribs. Tilt the drawer sideways to
remove it from the refrigerator compartment.
Give the refrigerator time to cool down completely before adding
food. It is best to wait 24 hours before you put food into the
refrigerator. The settings indicated in the previous section should
be correct for normal household refrigerator useage. The controls
are set correctly when milk or juice is as cold as you like and when
ice cream is rm.

Meat Storage Guide
Store most meat in original wrapping as long as it is airtight and
moisture-proof. Rewrap if necessary. See the following chart for
storage times. When storing meat longer than the times given,
freeze the meat.
Fresh sh or shellsh Use same day as purchased
Chicken, ground beef, variety
meat (liver, etc.)
Cold cuts, steaks/roasts 3-5 days
Cured meats 7-10 days
Leftovers - Cover leftovers with plastic wrap, aluminum foil, or
plastic containers with tight lids.
1-2 days
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 to 1,350 g per 28 L] of freezer space). Leave enough space
in the freezer for air to circulate around packages. Be certain 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.

2. Remove all removable parts from inside, such as shelves,
crispers, etc.
11
3. 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.
■ Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners such as window
sprays, scouring cleansers, ammable uids, 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. These can
scratch or damage materials.
■ To help remove odors, you can wash interior walls with a
mixture of warm water and baking soda
(2 tbs to 1 qt [26 g to 0.95 L] of water).
4. Determine whether your refrigerator exterior is painted metal,
Ultra Satin™ (stainless look) nish, brushed aluminum or
stainless steel, and choose the appropriate cleaning method.
NOTE: Ultra Satin™ (stainless look) nish has a smooth,
uniform color with a glossy nish that resists ngerprints.
Stainless steel has a distinct grainy texture with variation in
color that is natural to steel.
Painted metal: Wash exteriors with a clean sponge or soft
cloth and a mild detergent in warm water. Do not use abrasive
or harsh cleaners, or cleaners designed for stainless steel. Dry
thoroughly with a soft cloth. Additionally, to avoid damage to
painted metal exteriors, apply appliance wax (or auto-paste
wax) with a clean, soft cloth. Do not wax plastic parts.
Brushed aluminum: Wash with a clean sponge or soft cloth
and a mild detergent in warm water. Do not use abrasive or
harsh cleaners, or cleaners designed for stainless steel. Dry
thoroughly with a soft cloth.
Ultra Satin™ (stainless look) nish: Wash with a clean sponge
or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water. Do not use
abrasive or harsh cleaners, or cleaners designed for stainless
steel. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
Stainless steel nish: Wash with a clean sponge or soft cloth
and a mild detergent in warm water. Do not use abrasive or
harsh cleaners. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
■ To keep your stainless steel refrigerator looking like new
and to remove minor scus or marks, it is suggested
that you use the manufacturer’s approved Stainless
Steel Cleaner and Polish. To order the cleaner, see the
“Accessories” section.
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.
5. If your model has a touch screen display on the dispenser
panel, clean the screen using a soft, lint-free cloth. Mix a mild
detergent with water, then use the mixture to dampen the cloth
and gently wipe the screen.
■ To avoid unintentionally changing settings, make sure the
refrigerator is unplugged or the power is disconnected
before wiping the screen.
■ Do not over-saturate the cloth. Do not spray or wipe
liquids directly onto the screen. Do not use abrasive or
harsh cleaners such as window sprays, scouring cleansers,
ammable uids, cleaning waxes, concentrated detergents,
nail polish remover, bleaches or cleansers containing
petroleum products. Do not use paper towels, scouring
pads, or other harsh cleaning tools. These can scratch or
damage materials.

6. There is no need for routine condenser cleaning in normal
home operating environments. If the environment is particularly
greasy or dusty, or there is signicant pet trac in the home,
the condenser should be cleaned every 2 to 3 months to ensure
maximum eciency.
If you need to clean the condenser:
■ Remove the base grille. See the “Base Grille” graphic or
the “Base Grille” section.
■ 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 nished.
7. Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.
Lights
The interior lights are LEDs that cannot be changed.
■ If the interior lights do not illuminate when either door is
opened, call for assistance or service. See either the front cover
or the Warranty for contact information.
Power Interruptions
If the power will be out for 24 hours or less, keep the door or
doors closed (depending on your model) to help food stay cold
and frozen.
If the power will be out for more than 24 hours, do one of the
following:
■ Remove all frozen food and store it in a frozen food locker.
■ Place 2 lbs (907 g) of dry ice in the freezer for every cubic
foot (28 L) of freezer space. This will keep the food frozen for
2 to 4 days.
■ If neither a food locker nor dry ice is available, consume or can
perishable food at once.
REMEMBER: A full freezer stays cold longer than a partially lled
one. A freezer full of meat stays cold longer than a freezer full of
baked goods. If you see that food contains ice crystals, it may be
refrozen, although the quality and avor may be aected. If the
condition of the food is poor, dispose of it.
Vacation and Moving Care
Vacations
If You Choose to Leave Refrigerator On While You Are
Away:
1. Use up any perishables and freeze other items.
2. If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker and is
connected to the household water supply, turn o the water
supply to the refrigerator. Property damage can occur if the
water supply is not turned o.
3. If you have an automatic ice maker, turn o the ice maker.
NOTE: Depending on your model, raise the wire shuto arm to
O (up) position or press the switch to O.
4. Empty the ice bin.
If You Choose to Turn Refrigerator Off Before You Leave:
1. Remove all food from the refrigerator.
2. If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker:
■ Turn o the water supply to the ice maker at least one day
ahead of time.
■ When the last load of ice drops, raise the wire shuto
arm to the O (up) position or move the switch to the
O setting.
3. Unplug refrigerator.
4. Clean, wipe, and dry thoroughly.
5. Tape rubber or wood blocks to the tops of both doors to prop
them open far enough for air to get in. This stops odor and
mold from building up.
Moving
When you are moving your refrigerator to a new home, follow
these steps to prepare it for the move.
1. If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker:
■ Turn o the water supply to the ice maker at least one day
ahead of time.
■ Disconnect the water line from the back of the refrigerator.
■ When the last load of ice drops, raise the wire shuto
arm to the O (up) position or move the switch to the
O setting.
2. Remove all food from the refrigerator and pack all frozen food
in dry ice.
3. Empty the ice bin.
TROUBLESHOOTING
First try the solutions suggested here or visit our website to possibly avoid the cost of a service call.
WARNING
4. Unplug refrigerator.
5. Clean, wipe, and dry thoroughly.
6. Take out all removable parts, wrap them well, and tape them
together so they don’t shift and rattle during the move.
7. Depending on the model, raise the front of the refrigerator so
it rolls more easily or screw in the leveling legs so they don't
scrape the oor. See the "Adjust the Doors" or "Door Removal,
Leveling, and Adjustments" sections.
8. Tape the doors closed and tape the power cord to the back of
the refrigerator.
When you get to your new home, put everything back and refer to
the Installation Instructions for preparation instructions. Also, if your
refrigerator has an automatic ice maker, remember to reconnect
the water supply to the refrigerator.
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.
GENERAL OPERATION Possible Causes and/or Recommended Solutions
Refrigerator will not operate
Motor seems to run too much
■ Not connected to an electrical supply - Plug the power cord into a grounded 3 prong outlet. Do
not use an extension cord.
■ No power to the electrical outlet - Plug in a lamp to see if the outlet is working.
■ Household fuse has blown or circuit breaker has tripped - Replace the fuse or reset the circuit
breaker. If the problem continues, contact a licensed electrician.
■ New installation - Following installation, allow 24 hours for the refrigerator and freezer to cool
completely.
NOTE: Adjusting the temperature control(s) to the coldest setting will not cool either
compartment (refrigerator or freezer) more quickly.
■ Your new refrigerator has an energy-ecient motor - The refrigerator may run longer than
you’re used to, because the compressor and fans operate at lower speeds that are more
energy-ecient. This is normal.
NOTE: Your refrigerator may run even longer if the room is warm, a large load of food is
added, the doors are opened often, or if a door has been left open.
13
GENERAL OPERATION Possible Causes and/or Recommended Solutions
Refrigerator seems noisy
Temperature is too warm
Temperature is too cold
Interior moisture buildup
Interior lights do not work
The compressor in your new refrigerator regulates temperature more eciently and uses less energy
than older models. During various stages of operation, you may hear normal operating sounds that
are unfamiliar.
The following noises are normal:
■ Popping - Heard when the inside walls contract/expand, especially during initial cooldown.
■ Pulsating/Whirring - Heard when the fans/compressor adjust to optimize performance during
normal operation.
■ Rattling - Heard when water passes through the water line, or due to the ow of refrigerant.
Rattling may also come from items placed on top of the refrigerator.
■ Water running or gurgling - Heard when ice melts during the defrost cycle and water runs into
the drain pan.
■ Sizzling - Heard when water drips onto the heater during the defrost cycle.
■ New installation - Following installation, allow 24 hours for the refrigerator and freezer to cool
completely.
NOTE: Adjusting the temperature control(s) to the coldest setting will not cool either
compartment (refrigerator or freezer) more quickly.
■ Doors are opened often or not closed completely - This allows warm air to enter the
refrigerator. Minimize door openings, keep the doors fully closed, and make sure both doors are
properly sealed.
■ Air vents are blocked - Remove items that are immediately in front of the vents.
■ Large amount of warm food recently added - Allow several hours for the refrigerator to return
to its normal temperature.
■ Controls are not set correctly for the surrounding conditions - Adjust the controls to a colder
setting. Check the temperature again in 24 hours.
■ Controls are not set correctly for the surrounding conditions - Adjust the controls to a warmer
setting. Check the temperature again in 24 hours.
■ Top refrigerator shelf is colder than lower shelves - On some models, air from the freezer
enters the refrigerator compartment through vents near the top refrigerator shelf. As a result, the
top shelf can be slightly colder than lower shelves.
■ Air vents are blocked - Remove items that are immediately in front of the vents.
NOTE: Some moisture buildup is normal. Clean with a soft dry cloth.
■ Room is humid - A humid environment contributes to moisture buildup. Only use the refrigerator
in an indoor location, with as little humidity as possible.
■ Doors are opened often or not closed completely - This allows humid air to enter the
refrigerator. Minimize door openings, keep the doors fully closed, and make sure both doors are
properly sealed.
■ Doors have been open for an extended period of time - Close the doors to reset the lights.
■ Light bulb is loose in the socket or has burned out - On models with incandescent interior light
bulbs, tighten or replace the bulb. See the “Lights” section.
NOTE: On models with LED lights, call for assistance or service if the interior lights do not
illuminate when either door is opened. See either the front cover or the Warranty for contact
information.
