SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
•This appliance is not intended for use by persons
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or
instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety.
Junked or abandoned refrigerators are
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 (Child entrapment and suffocation).
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not
play with the appliance.
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 may have a cooling system that
used CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons). CFCs are
believed to harm stratospheric ozone.
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.
IMPORTANT: Please read carefully.
TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY
Electrical Shock Hazard
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.
3-prong
grounding type
wall receptacle _ _(_---_,
3-prong
grounding
plug
_Ensure proper
_ _ ground exists
/// beforeuse.
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 separate circuit
serving only this appliance be provided.
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove
the third (ground) prong from the power cord.
Do not use an adapter plug.
NOTE: Before performing any type of installation,
cleaning, or removing a light bulb, disconnect the
refrigerator from the electrical source.
NOTE: Some models have LED interior lighting and
service should be performed by a qualified
technician.
When you are are finished, reconnect the refrigerator
to the electrical source and reset the control
(Thermostat, Refrigerator Control, 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 (USA), 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 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.

recommended.
• Never install the refrigerator on a platform or
weakly supported structure.
1. To avoid vibration, the unit must be leveled.
If required, 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.
Leveling legs can be turned easily by tipping the
cabinet slightly. Turn the leveling legs clockwise
( .L._ ) to raise the unit, counterclockwise ( _,'_" )
to lower it.
(See Leveling and Alignment on page 17.)
2. Install this appliance in an area where the
temperature is between 55°F (13°C) and 110°F
(43°C.) If the temperature around the appliance is
too low or high, cooling ability may be adversely
affected.
3. Too small a distance from adjacent items may
result in lowered freezing capability and increased
electricity consumption charges. Allow at least 24
inches (61 cm) in front of the refrigerator to open
the doors.
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.

LEVELING AND DOOR ALIGNMENT
Leveling
After installing, secure the stability of the product
with the leveling legs.
Your refrigerator has two front leveling legs--one on
the right and one on the left. Adjust legs to alter tilt
from front-to-back or side-to-side. If your refrigerator
seems unsteady or you want the doors to close
easier, adjust the refrigerator's tilt using the
instructions below:
1. Plug the refrigerator's power cord into a 3-prong
grounded outlet. Move the refrigerator into its final
position. Remove the base cover.
To remove the base cover
1) Open the Freezer Drawer. (Drawer not shown
for clarity.)
2) Once the drawer is open and there is sufficient
clearance, remove screws on the top of the
cover.
To replace base cover: _::_
and insert and tighten
. Place cover into position
the screws. _ %_",
,
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
legs clockwise. It may take several more turns,
and you should turn both leveling legs the same
amount.
w
Re-adjust if necessary.
5.
Replace the base cover.
NOTE: Your new refrigerator is uniquely designed
with two fresh food doors. Either door can be
opened or closed independently of one another.
You may have to exert slight pressure on doors to
get them to close completely.
Door Alignment
Both the left and right refrigerator doors have
an adjustable nut, located on the bottom hinge,
to raise and lower them to align properly.
If the space between your doors is uneven,
follow the instructions below to align the doors
evenly:

Manual) to turn the nut in the door hinge to
adjust the height. To the right to raise or to the
left to lower the height.
2. Turn the leveling leg clockwise to raise that side of
the refrigerator or counterclockwise to lower it.
It may take several turns of the leveling leg to
adjust the tilt of the refrigerator.
NOTE: Having someone push backward against
the top of the refrigerator takes some weight off
the leveling legs. This makes it easier to adjust the
legs.
Level the refrigerator by using an 11/16 inch (18ram) wrench
or a flat blade screwdriver, Turn the leveling legs
counterclockwise to raise or clockwise to lower the height of
the front of the refrigerator,
NOTE: The front of the refrigerator should be slightly higher
than the back.

cool down completely before making any
adjustments to the temperature settings. The initial
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 colder the 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 and
allow 24 hours for the temperatures to stabilize.
If it is still too warm or too cold, adjust the freezer
control.
Always remember to wait at least 24 hours
between adjustments.

shelf, not on door shelf.
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.
When you close and seal the package, it must not
allow air or moisture in or out. If it does, you could
have food odor and taste transfer throughout the
refrigerator and also dry out frozen food.
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.
Fruit • Wash, let dry, and store in
refrigerator in plastic bags or in
the crisper. Do not wash or hull
berries until you are ready to use
them. Sort and keep berries in
their original container in a
crisper, or store in a closed and
sealed paper bag on a refrigerator
shelf.
Leafy vegetables •
Vegetables with • Place in plastic bags or plastic
skins (carrots, container and store in crisper.
peppers)
Fish
Leftovers
Remove store wrapping and trim
or tear off bruised and discolored
areas. Wash in cold water and
drain. Place in plastic bag or
plastic container and store in
crisper.
• Use fresh fish and shellfish the
same day purchased.
• Cover leftovers with plastic wrap
or aluminum foil. Plastic
containers with tight lids can
also be used.
Do not use
• Bread wrappers
• Containers without tight lids
• Wax paper or wax-coated freezer wrap
• Thin, semi-permeable wrap
CAUTION: Do not keep beverage cans or plastic
food containers in the freezer compartment. They
may break or burst if they freeze.

Freezing
Adjusting Shelves
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 have 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.
REFRIGERATOR SECTION
Remove shelves from the shipping position and
replace shelves in the position you want.
•To remove a shelf--Tilt up the front of the shelf in
the direction of O and lift it in the direction of Q.
Pull the shelf out.
•To reinstall a shelf--Tilt the front of the shelf up
and guide the shelf hooks into the slots at a desired
height. Then lower the front of the shelf so that the
hooks drop into the slots.
REFRIGERATOR SHELVES
The shelves in your refrigerator are adjustable to
meet your individual storage needs. Your model may
have glass or wire shelves.
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, saving energy.
IMPORTANT: Do not clean glass shelves with warm
water while 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.
_, CAUTION: Make sure that shelves are level from
one side to the other. Failure to do so may result
in the shelf falling or food spilling.

WHEN YOU SHOULD SET THE ICEMAKER
POWER SWITCH TO OFF (O)
Personal Injury Hazard
DO NOT place fingers or hands in the automatic
icemaking mechanism while the refrigerator is
plugged in.
OPERATION iNSTRUCTiONS
A newly-installed refrigerator may take
12 to 24 hours to begin making ice.
Automatic Power Switch
Shutoff Arm
NOTE: The water pressure must be between 20
and 120 psi (140 and 830 kPa) on models
without a water filter and between 40 and
120 psi (280 and 830kPa) on models with
a water filter.
The icemaker will produce 12 cubes per cycle--
approximately 100 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 power switch to
Off (O).
When the refrigerator has been connected to the
water supply, set the power switch to On (I).
The icemaker will fill with water when it cools to
freezing. A newly-installed refrigerator may take
12 to 24 hours to begin making ice cubes.
Discard the first few batches of ice to allow the water
line to clear.
• 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.
• 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.
NOTE: If the house water supply (cold water only)
is not hooked up or not turned on fully, turn the
icemaker to the Off (O) position to prevent noise
and possible damage. Do not turn the icemaker
On (I) until an adequate water supply is connected.
• You will hear the sound of cubes dropping into the
bin and water running in the pipes as the icemaker
refills.
PREPARING FOR VACATION
Set the icemaker power switch to Off (O) and shut
off the water supply to the refrigerator.
If the ambient temperature will drop below freezing,
have a qualified servicer drain the water supply
system to prevent serious property damage due to
flooding from ruptured water lines or connections.
Be sure nothing interferes with the sweep of the
Automatic Shutoff Arm.
When the bin fills to the level of the Automatic
Shutoff 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.
27
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
This water line installation is not warranted by the
refrigerator or icemaker manufacturer or retailer.
Follow these instructions carefully to minimize the
risk of expensive water damage.
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.
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 line.
If you use your refrigerator before connecting the
water line, make sure the icemaker power switch is
in the Off (O) 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.
If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is
connected to your cold water supply, this water line
installation is not warranted by the refrigerator or
icemaker manufacturer or retailer. Follow next
instructions carefully to minimize the risk of
expensive water damage.
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 (2.8 kgf/cm 2 ~ 4.2 kgf/cm 2,
less than 2.0-3.0sec to fill a cup of 7oz capacity).
If the water pressure from the reverse osmosis
system is tess than 21 psi (1.5 kgf/cm _,more than
4.0sec to fill a cup of 7oz capacity):
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 the issue about water pressure from reverse
osmosis remains, call a licensed, qualified plumber.
All installations must be in accordance with local
plumbing code requirements.
NOTE:
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 psi(140 and 830 kPa) on
models without a water filter and between 40 and
120 psi (280 and 830 kPa) onmodels with a
water filter.
• Power drill.
• 1/2" or adjustable wrench.
• Straight= and Phillips=
blade screwdriver.
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.
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.
/_ WARNING: Connect to potable water supply only.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
5. TIGHTEN THE PIPE CLAMP
Install the shutoff valve on the nearest frequently
used drinking water line.
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 I_1
any burrs resulting from drilling _J_ I
the hole in the pipe. Take care _ I
not to allow water to drain into _ 1 I
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.
4. FASTEN THE SHUTOFF VALVE
Tighten the clamp screws until the sealing washer
begins to swell.
NOTE: Do not overtighten or you may crush the
