All safety messages will identify the hazard, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury and tell you what can happen if

the instructions are not followed.

Toreduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury

to persons when using your product, basic safety

precautions should be followed, including the following: = NEVER unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the power cord.

Always grip the plug firmly and pull itstraight out from the outlet.

• Repair or replace immediatelyall electric service cords that have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either the plug or connector end.

° When moving your refrigerator away from the wall,

be careful not to roll over or damage the power cord.

• DO NOT store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

- DO NOTallow children to climb, stand or hang on the refrigerator doors or shelves in the refrigerator.They could damage the refrigerator and seriously injure themselves.

- Keep fingers out of "pinch point" areas; clearances between the doors and between the doors and cabinet are necessarily small. Be careful closing doors when children are in the area.

- Unplug your refrigerator before cleaning or making any repairs. NOTE: Westrongly recommend that any servicing be

performed by a qualified individual.

- Before replacing a burned-out light bulb, unplug the refrigerator or turn off power at the circuit breaker or fuse box in order to avoid contact with a live wire filament. (A burned- out light bulb may breakwhen being replaced.) NOTE: Setting either or both controls to the OFF position does not remove powerto the light circuit.

• Do not store bottles in the freezer compartment - they may

break when frozen, causing damage.

, For personal safety,this appliance must be properly grounded.

Have the wall outlet and the circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded.

° Read all instructions before using this appliance.

• Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this use and care guide.

° Thisrefrigerator must be properly installed in accordance with

the Attention Installer Instructions thatwere taped to the front

of the refrigerator.

° After your refrigerator is in operation, do not touch the cold

surfaces in the freezer compartment when hands are damp or

wet. Skin may adhere to the extremely cold surfaces.

° In refrigerators with automatic icemakers, avoid contact with

the moving parts of the ejector mechanism, or with the heating

element that releases the cubes. DO NOT place fingers or hands on the automatic icemaking mechanism while the refrigerator is plugged in.

• DO NOT refreezefrozen foods which have thawed completely. The United States Department ofAgriculture in Home and Garden Bulletin No. 69 says:

"...Youmay safely refreezefrozen foods that have thawed if

they still contain ice crystals or if they are still cold below 40°F (4°C).,,

"...Thawed ground meats, poultryor fish that have any off-odor or off-color should not be refrozen and should not be eaten.

Thawed ice cream should be discarded. If the odor or color of any food is poor or questionable, get rid of it. Thefood may be

dangerous to eat." "Even partial thawing and refreezing reduces the eating quality

of foods, particularly fruits, vegetables and prepared foods. The eating quality of red meats is affected less than that of many other foods. Use refrozen foods as soon as possible to save as much of their eating quality as you can."

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

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 the instructions at right 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.

Your old refrigerator has a cooling system that used CFC's

(chlorofluorocarbons). CFC's are believed to harm

stratospheric ozone.

IMPORTANT: Please read carefully.

TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY

RECOMMENDED GROUNDING METHOD

The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own

individual properly grounded electrical outlet rated for

115 Volts, 60 Hz, AC only and fused at 15 or 20 amperes. This provides the best performance and also prevents overloading house wiring circuits which could cause a fire

hazard from overheated wires. It is recommended that a

If you are throwing away your old refrigerator, make sure the CFC refrigerant is removed for proper disposal by a qualified servicer. If you intentionally release this CFC

refrigerant, you can be subject to fines and imprisonment

under provisions of environmental legislation.

separate circuit serving only this appliance be provided.

Use a receptacle which cannot be turned off with a switch or pull chain. Do not use an extension cord.

Where a standard two-prong wall outlet is encountered,

it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have it

replaced with a properly grounded three=prong wall outlet.

Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord.

NOTE: Before performing any type of installation, cleaning, or removing a light bulb, turn the control

(Thermostat, Refrigerator or Freezer Control depending on the model) to OFF and then disconnect the refrigerator from the electrical source. When you are finished,

reconnect the refrigerator to the electrical source and

reset the control (Thermostat, Refrigerator or Freezer

Control, depending on the model) to the desired setting.

USE OF EXTENSION CORDS

Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against the use of an extension cord. However, if you still elect to use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL-listed (in the United States) or a CSA-listed

(in Canada), 3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord having a grounding type plug and outlet and that the electrical rating of the cord be 15 amperes (minimum)

and 120 volts.

Use of an extension cord will increase the clearance

needed for the back of the refrigerator.

Use this section to become more familiar with the parts and features. Page references are included for your convenience.

LEVELING AND DOOR CLOSING

To avoid vibration, the unit must be leveled, if necessary,

adjust the Leveling Legs to compensate for unevenness

of the floor. The front should be slightly higher than the

rear to aid in door closing.

Your refrigerator has two Front Leveling Screws - one on the right and one on the left. if your refrigerator seems

unsteady or you want the doors to close more easily, adjust the refrigerator's tilt using the instructions below:

1. Plug refrigerator power cord into a 3-prong grounded outlet. Move the refrigerator into its final position.

2. Remove the base grill. See BASE GRILL

INSTRUCTIONS on page 8. The two Leveling Screws are located on the bottom of the refrigerator on either

side (see Fig. 39).

3. insert a flat screwdriver in slots to adjust the Leveling Screws (Fig. 39). Turn the leveling screw clockwise

to raise that side of the refrigerator or counterclockwise to lower it. it may take several turns of the Leveling

Screw to adjust the tilt of the refrigerator.

NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the refrigerator takes some of the weight off the Leveling

Screws. This makes it easier to adjust the screws.

Fig. 39

DOOR ALIGNMENT

If the space between your doors is uneven, follow the instructions below to align the doors:

1. Gently pry off the Top Hinge Cover with a flat head screwdriver and remove. Loosen the Top Hinge Bolts

using a 10mm or 13/32-in. socket wrench or

open-end wrench.

2. Have someone hold the freezer door so the space between the two doors is even, and retighten the top hinge bolts.

3. Replace the Top Hinge Cover.

4. Open both doors again and check to make sure that they close easily. If not, tilt the refrigerator

slightly more to the rear by turning both Leveling Screws clockwise. It may take several more turns,

and you should turn both Leveling Screws the same amount.

5. Replace the base grill.

ENSURING PROPER AiR CiRCULATiON

In order to ensure proper temperatures, air must flow

between the refrigerator and freezer sections. As shown in the illustration below, cool air enters through the bottom of the freezer section and moves up. Most of the air then flows through the freezer section vents and recirculates

under the freezer floor. The rest of the air enters the refrigerator section through the top vent.

• Do not block any of these vents with food packages. If the vents are blocked, airflow will be interrupted and

temperature and moisture problems may occur.

iMPORTANT."

Because air circulates between both sections, any odors

formed in one section will transfer to the other. You must thorougly clean both sections to eliminate odors.

To prevent odor transfer and drying out food, wrap or cover foods tightly. (See the Food Storage Guide section

for details.)

1. Clean your refrigerator thoroughly and wipe off all dust accumulated during shipping.

2. Install accessories such as ice cube bin, drawers, shelves, etc., in their proper places. They are packed together to prevent possible damage during shipment.

3. Let your refrigerator run for at least 2 or 3 hours before putting food in it. Check the flow of cold air in the freezer compartment to ensure proper cooling. Your

refrigerator is now ready for use.

SETTING THE CONTROLS

Your refrigerator has two controls to regulate temperature, one in the freezer and one in the refrigerator.

REFRIGERATOR CONTROL

Initially set the Refrigerator Control on the middle setting, number 3. To do so, push the temperature adjust button until the number 3 LED light is lit up. Leave the refrigerator at this setting for 24 hours to reach correct temperature. After 24 hours, adjust the compartment temperature as desired. The higher the number, the colder the refrigerator compartment will become. Always wait 24 hours before adjusting temperature. If you go past the desired number, keep pushing the temperature adjust button until your desired number is lit up.

COLDER

Note: If you close the refrigerator door forcefully, the freezer door may open and close again due to pressure from internal air flow.

FREEZER CONTROL

The freezer control should come from the factory set on the

middle setting, number 2. Wait 24 hours before adjusting

the temperature of the freezer compartment up or down. Turn the dial to set freezer temperature as desired.

ALWAYS wait 24 hours after any adjustment for unit to

reach desired temperature.

ADJUSTING CONTROL SETTINGS

FOOD STORAGE GUIDE

Give the refrigerator time to cool down completely before making final adjustments. It is best to wait 24 hours before doing this. The recommended settings mentioned in

SETTING THE CONTROLS section should be correct for normal household refrigerator use. The controls are set

correctly when milk or juice is as cold as you like and when ice cream is firm.

The refrigerator control functions as the thermostat for the entire appliance (refrigerator and freezer sections). The higher the number setting, the longer the compressor will run to keep the temperature colder. The freezer control adjusts the cold air flow from the freezer to the

refrigerator. Setting the freezer control to a lower temperature keeps more cold air in the freezer

compartment to make it colder. If you need to adjust temperatures in the refrigerator or

freezer, start by adjusting the refrigerator. Then wait 24 hours before checking the freezer temperature. If it is too warm or too cold, then adjust the freezer control.

Use the settings listed in the chart below as a guide. Always remember to wait at least 24 hours between adjustments.

STORING FROZEN FOOD

NOTE: For further information about preparing food for freezing or food storage times, check a freezer guide or a

reliable cookbook.

Packaging

Successful freezing depends on correct packaging. Close and seal packages so no air or moisture can pass in or out. If it does, you could have food odor and taste transferred throughout the refrigerator and freezer, and food in freezer package could dry out.

Packaging recommendations:

• Rigid plastic containers with tight-fitting lids

• Straight-sided canning/freezing jars

• Heavy-duty aluminum foil

• Plastic-coated paper

• Non-permeable plastic wraps

• Specified freezer-grade self-sealing plastic bags

Follow package or container instructions for proper

freezing methods.

Freezing

Your freezer will not quick-freeze any large quantity of food. Do not put more unfrozen food into the freezer than will freeze within 24 hours (no more than 2 to 3 Ibs of food per cubic foot of freezer space). Leave enough space in the freezer for air to circulate around packages. Be careful to leave enough room at the front so the door can close tightly.

Storage times will vary according to the quality and type of food, the type of packaging or wrap used (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 has condensed, creating ice crystals.

NOTE: Allow hot foods to cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, then package and freeze. Cooling hot foods

before freezing saves energy.

Do not use

• Bread wrappers

• Non-polyethylene plastic containers

• Containers without tight lids

• Wax paper or wax-coated freezer wrap

• Thin, semi-permeable wrap

Y_CAUTION: Do not keep beverage cans or plastic beverage

containers in the freezer compartment. They may break if they freeze.

REFRIGERATOR SHELVES

The shelves in your refrigerator are adjustable to meet your individual storage needs. All the shelves in this unit

are glass. Storing similar food items together inyour 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, saving energy.

iMPORTANT: Do not clean glass shelves with warm water when they are cold. Shelves may break if exposed to sudden temperature changes or impact, such as

bumping. For your protection, glass shelves are made with tempered glass, which will shatter into small pebble-

sized pieces.

NOTE: Glass shelves are heavy. Use special care when

removing them to avoid dropping them.

Adjustable Shelves

Do Not use wax on stainless steel exteriors. Use a product specially designed for polishing stainless

steel appliances, or clean with a soft cloth or clean sponge and a mild detergent dissolved in warm water. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.

NOTE: Avoid door surface contact with chemical products that contain Phosphate or Chlorine.

INSIDE WALLS (allow freezer to warm up so cloth won't stick)

To help remove odors, you can wash the inside of the refrigerator and freezer with a mixture of baking soda and warm water. Mix 2 tablespoons baking soda to

1 quart of water (26 g soda to 1 liter water.) Be sure the

baking soda completely dissolves so it does not scratch the surfaces of the refrigerator.

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD

Before you begin, either unplug the refrigerator or

turn off power at the circuit breaker or fuse box.

Failure to do so could result in death or serious

injury.

NOTE: Back cover should only be removed by a

qualified technician.

Clean the vents on the back cover. Use a vacuum cleaner

with the brush attachment, at least twice a year to keep

your refrigerator working efficiently.

LIGHT BULB REPLACEMENT

Electrical Shock Hazard

Before replacing a burned-out light bulb, either unplug the refrigerator or turn off power at the circuit breaker

or fuse box.

NOTE: Not all appliance bulbs will fit your refrigerator. Be sure to replace the bulb with one of the same size, shape and wattage.

Tochange the refrigerator light:

WHEN YOU GO ON VACATION

If you choose to leave the refrigerator on while you are away,

follow these steps to prepare your refrigerator before you leave.

1. Use up any perishables andfreeze other items.

2. Emptythe icebin.

3.Turn off the Icemaker. NOTE: Ifthe ambient temperature will drop below freezing, have a qualified servicetechnician drain

the water supply system (on some models) to prevent serious

property damage dueto possible flooding from rupturedwater linesor connections.

If you choose to turn the refrigerator off before you leave,

follow these steps.

1. Remove all food fromthe refrigerator and empty ice bin.

2. Unplug refrigerator.

3. Clean refrigerator,wipe, and drywell.

4.Tape rubber orwood blocks to the tops of both doors to prop

them open far enough for air to get in.This stops odor and

moldfrom building up.

Suffocation Hazard

When using dry ice, provide adequate ventilation.

Dry ice is frozen carbon dioxide (CO2). When it

vaporizes, it can displace oxygen, causing dizziness,

light-headedness, unconsciousness and death by suffocation. Open a window and do not breathe

the vapors.

OR c) If neither a food locker nor dry ice is available,

consume or dispose of food at once.

REMEMBER: In a power failure, 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 safely refrozen, although the quality and flavor may be affected. If the condition of the food is poor, or if you

feel it is unsafe, dispose of it.

WHEN YOU MOVE

When you are moving your refrigerator to a new home,

follow these steps to prepare it for the move.

1. Remove all food fromthe refrigerator and pack allfrozen food in dry ice.

2, Unplug refrigerator.

3. Clean refrigerator,wipe, and drywell.

4. Emptywater fromthe defrost pan.

5. Clean, wipe and drythoroughly.

6.Take out all removable parts, wrap themwell and tape them

together so they don't shift and rattle during the move. Referto

sections in Using your Refrigerator for removal instructions.

7. Dependingon the model, raisethe front of the refrigerator so it rolls more easily OR screw inthe leveling legs all the way so they don'tscrape the floor. See the LEVELING AND DOOR

CLOSING section.

8.Tape the doorsshut and tape the power cord to the refrigerator cabinet.

Whenyou get to your new home, put everything back and refer to

the REFRIGERATION INSTALLATION section for setup instructions.

Personal injury Hazard

Avoid contact with the moving parts of the ejector mechanism, or with the heating element that releases the cubes. DO NOT place fingers or hands on the automatic icemaking mechanism while the refrigerator is plugged in.

The icemaker will begin to operate when it lowers to freezing temperature.

NOTE: Automatic Ice Maker feature is included only in

certain models. Other models are Ice Maker ready.

Please check your product specifications.

OPERATION iNSTRUCTIONS A newly-installed refrigerator may take

12 to 24 hours to begin making ice.

When the bin fills to the level of the Automatic Shut Off Arm, the icemaker will stop producing ice.

It is normal for several cubes to be stuck together. If ice is not used frequently, old ice cubes will become

cloudy, taste stale, and shrink.

NOTE: If the cube size is smaller or larger than you expected, you can regulate the size with the cube size

button. Every time you press the cube size button, the indicator

moves up one light. The higher the light position, the larger the cubes will be. Pressing at highest position returns indicator to lowest position.

WHEN YOU SHOULD SET THE ICEMAKER

POWER SWITCH TO O (OFF)

• When the water supply will be shut off for several hours. When the ice storage bin is removed for more than a

minute or two.

Cube Size Power Switch

Indicator Light Cube Size

Select Button

The icemaker will produce eight cubes per cycle--- approximately 100-130 cubes in a 24-hour period, depending on freezer compartment temperature, room temperature, number of door openings and other operating conditions.

If the refrigerator is used before the water connection is made to the icemaker, set the icemaker's power switch to

O (off). When the refrigerator has been connected to the water

supply, set the power switch to I (on).

When the refrigerator will not be used for several days.

NORMAL SOUNDS YOU MAY HEAR

The icemaker water valve will buzz as the icemaker fills with water. If the power switch is in the I (on) position, it

will buzz even if it has not yet been hooked up to water. To stop the buzzing, move the power switch to O (off).

NOTE: Keeping the power switch in the I (on) position before the water line is connected can damage the

icemaker. You will hear the sound of cubes dropping into the bin

and water running in the pipes as the icemaker refills.

The icemaker will begin to operate when it lowers to freezing temperature. A newly-installed refrigerator may

take 12 to 24 hours to begin making ice cubes. Throw away the first few batches of ice to allow the water

line to clear. Be sure nothing interferes with the sweep of the

Automatic Shut Off Arm.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

This water line installation is not warranted by the

refrigerator or icemaker manufacturer. Follow these instructions carefully to minimize the risk of expensive

water damage. Water hammer (water banging in the pipes) in house

plumbing can cause damage to refrigerator parts and lead to water leakage or flooding. Call a qualified plumber to correct water hammer before installing the water supply

line to the refrigerator.

To prevent burns and product damage, do not hook up the water line to the hot water supply.

If you use your refrigerator before connecting the water line, make sure the icemaker power switch is in the O (off)

position.

Do not install the icemaker tubing in areas where

temperatures fall below freezing. When using any electrical device (such as a power drill)

during installation, be sure the device is double-insulated or grounded in a manner to prevent the hazard of electric shock, or is battery-powered.

All installations must be in accordance with local plumbing code requirements.

NOTE: Wear eye protection.

If your existing copper water line has a flared fitting at the end, you will need an adapter (available at plumbing supply stores) to

connect the water line to the refrigerator OR you can cut off the flared fitting with a tube cutter and then use

a compression fitting. Shutoff valve to connect to

the cold water line. The

shutoff valve should have a water inlet with a minimum inside diameter of 5/32" at

the point of connection to the COLD WATER LINE. Saddle-type shutoff valves are

included in many water supply kits. Before purchasing, make sure a saddle-type valve complies with your local plumbing codes.

NOTE: Self Piercing Saddle Type Water Valve should not be used.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Install the shutoff valve on the nearest frequently used

drinking water line.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED

• Copper Tubing, 1/4" outer diameter to connect the refrigerator to the water supply. Be sure both

ends of the tubing are cut square.

To determine how much tubing you need: Measure the distance from the water valve on the back of the

refrigerator to the water supply pipe. Then add 8 feet

(2.4 m). Be sure there is sufficient extra tubing (about 8 feet [2.4 m] coiled into 3 turns of about 10" [25 cm] diameter) to allow the refrigerator to move out from the

wall after installation.

• A cold water supply. The water pressure must be between 20 and 120 p.s.i, on models without a water

filter and between 40 and 120 p.s.i, on models with a water filter.

• Power drill.

• 1/2" or adjustable wrench.

• Fiat head= and Phillips- screwdrivers.

• Two 1/4" outer diameter compression nuts and

2 ferrules (sleeves) to

connect the copper tubing to the shutoff valve and the

refrigerator water valve.

1. SHUT OFF THE MAIN WATER SUPPLY

Turn on the nearest faucet to relieve the pressure on the line.

2. CHOOSE THE VALVE LOCATION

Choose a location for the valve that

is easily accessible. It is best to

connect into the side of a vertical water pipe. When it is necessary to connect into a horizontal water pipe,

make the connection to the top or

side, rather than at the bottom, to avoid drawing off any sediment from the water pipe.

3. DRILL THE HOLE FOR THE VALVE

Drill a 1/4" hole in the water

pipe using a sharp bit. Remove any burrs resulting from drilling the hole in the pipe. Take care

not to allow water to drain into

the drill.

Failure to drill a 1/4" hole may result in reduced ice production or smaller cubes.

NOTE: The hookup line cannot be white, plastic

tubing. Licensed plumbers must use only copper tubing NDA tubing #49595 or 49599 or Cross Link

Polyethylene(PEX) tubing.

6. ROUTE THE TUBING

Route the tubing between the cold water line and the refrigerator.

Route the tubing through a hole drilled in the wall or

floor (behind the refrigerator or adjacent base cabinet)

as close to the wall as possible. NOTE: Be sure there is sufficient extra tubing (about

8 feet coiled into 3 turns of about 10" diameter) to

allow the refrigerator to move out from the wall after installation.

9. CONNECT THE TUBING TO THE REFRIGERATOR

10. TURN THE WATER ON AT THE SHUTOFF VALVE

NOTE:

• Before making the connection to the refrigerator, be sure the refrigerator power cord is not plugged into

the wall outlet.

• If your refrigerator does not have a water filter, we recommend installing one if your water supply has sand or particles that could clog the screen of the refrigerator's water valve. Install the filter in the water line near the refrigerator.

1. Remove the plastic flexible cap from the water valve.

2. Place the compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) onto

the end of the tubing as shown.

3. Insert the end of the copper tubing into the

connection as far as possible. While holding the tubing, tighten the fitting.

_. CAUTION: Check to see if leaks occur at water line

connections.

Tighten any connections that leak. Reattach the compressor compartment access cover.

11. PLUG IN THE REFRIGERATOR

Arrange the coil of tubing so that it does not vibrate

against the back of the refrigerator or against the

wall. Push the refrigerator back to the wall.

The icemaker will not begin to operate until it reaches

its operating temperature of 15°F (-9°C) or below. It

will then begin operation automatically if the

icemaker power switch is in the I (on) position.

UNDERSTANDING SOUNDS YOU MAY HEAR

Your new refrigerator may make sounds that your old one didn't make. Because the sounds are new to you, you might be concerned about them. Most of the new sounds are normal. Hard surfaces, like the floor, walls and cabinets, can make the sounds seem louder than they actually are. The following describes the kinds of sounds and what may be making them.

The defrost timer will click when the automatic defrost cycle begins and ends. The thermostat control (or

refrigerator control, depending on the model) will also click when cycling on and off.

Rattling noises may come from the flow of refrigerant, the water line or items stored on top of the refrigerator.

Your refrigerator is designed to run more efficiently to

keep your food items at the desired temperature. The high efficiency compressor may cause your new refrigerator to run longer than your old one, but it will

take less energy to run. You may hear a pulsating or

high-pitched sound.

You may hear the evaporator fan motor circulating the air through the refrigerator and freezer compartments.

As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to the refrigerant flowing in your refrigerator.

Contraction and expansion of the inside walls may cause a popping noise.

Water dripping on the defrost heater during a defrost cycle may cause a sizzling sound.

You may hear air being forced over the condenser by the condenser fan.
