ProperDisposalof YourOld 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." If you 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.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

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.

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.

Explosion Hazard

Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from refrigerator.

Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

IMPORTANT= This refrigerator is designed for indoor, household use only.

Toensure proper ventilation for your refrigerator, allow for a 1/2" (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= 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.

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug intoa grounded 3 prong outlet. Do not remove ground prong. Do not use an adapter.

Do not usean extension cord. Failureto follow these instructions can result in death,

fire, or electrical shock.

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 and approved accessories

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.

1/2" (1.25 cm)J

]1 I

33/4"(9.5 cm)

TOOLS NEEDED:

• Flat-blade screwdriver • 1/4"Nut driver

• 7,66"and 1/2"Open-end or two • 1/4"Drill bit adjustable wrenches

IMPORTANT:

• All installations must meet local plumbing code requirements.

• Do not use a piercing-type or 3,66"(4.76 ram) 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.

• Cordless drill

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. 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 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.

Find a 1/2"to 11/4'' (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 lower right rear of the

refrigerator to the water pipe. Add 7 ft (2.1 m) to allow for cleaning. Use 1/4" (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 1/4" hole in the cold water pipe you have selected.

G. Packing nut

Read all directions before you begin. IMPORTANT:

• Plumbing shall be installed in accordance with the International Plumbing Code and any local codes and

ordinances. The gray water tubing on the back of the refrigerator (which

is used to connect to the household water line) is a PEX (cross-linked polyethylene) tube. Copper and PEX tubing

connections from the household water line to the refrigerator are acceptable, and will help avoid off-taste or odor in your

ice or water. Check for leaks.

If PEX tubing is used instead of copper, we recommend the

following Part Numbers: W10505928RP (7 ft [2.14 m] jacketed PEX),

8212547RP (5 ft [1.52 m] PEX),or W10267701RP (25 ft [7.62 m] PEX).

Install tubing only in areas where temperatures will remain

above freezing.

If you turn on the refrigerator before the water line is

connected, turn off the ice maker to avoid excessive noise or damage to the water valve.

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.

6. Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water pipe with the pipe clamp. Be sure the outlet end is solidly in the Y4" drilled hole

in the water pipe and that the washer is under the pipe clamp. Tighten the packing nut. Tighten the pipe clamp

screws slowly and evenly so the washer makes a watertight seal. Do not overtighten.

7. Slip the compression sleeve and compression nut on the copper tubing as shown. Insert the end of the tubing into the

outlet end squarely as far as it will go. Screw compression nut onto outlet end with adjustable wrench. Do not

overtighten or you may crush the copper tubing.

8. Place the free end of the tubing in a container or sink, and turn ON the main water supply. Flush the tubing until water

is clear. Turn OFF the shutoff valve on the water pipe.

Connect to Refrigerator

Depending on your model, the water line may come down from the top or up from the bottom. Follow the connection instructions

for your model.

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 dispenser lever 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 lever (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. Dispense enough water every week to maintain a

fresh supply.

Press & Hold

Dispensing Water

1. Hold a container under the dispenser while pressing the

button.

2. Release the button to stop dispensing.

The water filter is located in the upper right-hand corner of the refrigerator compartment.

Replacing the Water Filter

IMPORTANT= Air trapped in the water system may cause water and filter to eject. Always dispense water for at least 2 minutes

before removing the filter or blue bypass cap.

1. Turn the used water filter counterclockwise until it releases from the filter mounting bracket.

2. Drain water from the water filter into the sink, and discard the used water filter. Wipe up the excess water in the filter

cover.

Remove the sealing label from the end of the new water filter and insert the water filter into the filter mounting

bracket. Gently rotate the water filter clockwise until it stops, and snap the filter cover closed.

4. Flush the water system. See "Water System Preparation."

5. Inspect the water filter system for leaks. If you see water leaks, see "Troubleshooting."

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

Indicator Models

• The disposable water filter should be replaced when the Replace light is lit, or at least every 6 months. If the water

flow to the water dispenser or ice maker decreases noticeably before 6 months have passed, replace the water

filter more often.

• After replacing the water filter, press and hold the Filter Reset touch pad for 3 seconds until the Order or Replace

light turns off. See "Using the Controls."

Non-Indicator Models

• The disposable water filter should be replaced at least every 6 months. If the water flow to the water dispenser or ice

maker decreases noticeably before 6 months have passed, replace the water filter more often.

Using the Dispenser Without a Water Filter

You can use the water dispenser without a water filter, but your water will not be filtered. If you choose this option, replace the

water filter with the blue bypass cap.

IMPORTANT= Flush the water system before turning on the ice maker. See "Water Dispenser."

Turning the Ice Maker On/Off

Toturn the ice maker ON, simply lower the wire shutoff arm. To manually turn the ice maker OFF, lift the wire shutoff arm to

the OFF (arm up) position and listen for the click. NOTE= Your ice maker has an automatic shutoff. 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.

NOTE= Turn off the ice maker before removing the ice storage bin to serve ice or to clean the bin. This will keep the ice cubes

from dropping out of the ice maker and into the freezer compartment. After replacing the ice storage bin, turn on the ice maker.

Ice Production Rate

. Lower the front of the shelf and make sure that the shelf is in

position.

The ice maker should produce a complete batch of ice approximately every 3 hours.

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

24 hours between adjustments.

Remember

Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Allow 3 days to completely fill the ice storage bin. 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 store anything on top of the ice maker or in the ice storage bin.

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 Ibs (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 filled 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 flavor may be

affected. If the condition of the food is poor, dispose of it.
