IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

This guide contains many important safety messages. Always read and obey all safety messages.

This is the safety alert symbol. It alerts you to safety messages that inform you of hazards that can kill or hurt you or others, or cause damage to the product.

All safety messages will be preceded by the safety alert symbol and the hazard signal word DANGER, WARNING or CAUTION. These words mean:

DANGER

You will be killed or seriously injured if you do not follow instructions.

You can be killed or seriously injured if you do not follow instructions.

WARNING

Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided,

CAUTION

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.

To reduce the risk of  re, electric shock, or personal injury when using your product, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following.

Read all instructions before using this appliance.

• NEVER unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug  rmly and pull it straight out from the outlet.

• Immediately repair or replace all power 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.

• Do not modify or extend the power cord length. It could cause electric shock or  re.

• When moving your refrigerator away from the wall, be careful not to roll over or damage the power cord.

• The insulation in this unit contains cyclopentane or a pentane-like gas which is  ammable and requires a special elimination process. Before discontinuing use of this refrigerator, contact local authorities to arrange for safe disposal of the unit.

may result in minor or moderate injury, or product damage.

WARNING

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

• DO NOT store explosive substances such as aerosol cans containing  ammable propellants in this appliance.

• DO NOT allow 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  ngers out of pinch point areas; clearances between the doors and cabinets are necessarily small. Be careful closing doors when children are in the area.

• Unplug your refrigerator before cleaning or making any repairs.

NOTE: It is strongly recommended that any service be performed by a quali ed technician.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

• Before service is performed on the interior LED lighting, unplug the refrigerator or turn o power at the circuit breaker or fuse box.

NOTE: The refrigerator and freezer compartment lights are LED interior lighting, and service should be performed by a quali ed technician.

WARNING: Setting either or both controls to the OFF

position does not remove power to the light circuit.

• When you are  nished, reconnect the refrigerator to the electrical source and reset the controls (Thermostat, Refrigerator Control, and or Freezer Control, depending on the model) to the desired setting.

• This refrigerator must be properly installed in accordance with the Attention Installer Instructions that were 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.

• DO NOT touch the automatic ice making mechanism while the refrigerator is plugged in.

• DO NOT refreeze frozen foods which have thawed completely. The United States Department of Agriculture in Home and Garden Bulletin No. 69 says:

…You may safely refreeze frozen foods that have thawed if they still contain ice crystals or if they are still cold—below 4°C.

…Thawed ground meats, poultry or  sh that have any o -odor or o -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, dispose of it. The food 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 a ected less than that of many other foods. Use refrozen foods as soon as possible to save as much of their quality as you can.

WARNING: This product contains chemicals known to

the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION

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.

DANGER: RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT

Junked or abandoned refrigerators are dangerous, even if they are sitting for only 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 su ocation).

Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

BEFORE YOU THROW AWAY YOUR OLD REFRIGERATOR OR FREEZER:

• Take o the doors.

• Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside

CFC/HCFC DISPOSAL

Your old refrigerator may have a cooling system that used CFCs or HCFCs (chloro uorocarbons or hydrochloro uorocarbons). CFCs and HCFCs are believed to harm stratospheric ozone if released to the atmosphere. Other refrigerants may also cause harm to the environment if released to the atmosphere.

ELECTRICAL & GROUNDING REQUIREMENTS

IMPORTANT: Please read carefully. TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, this appliance must be

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

If you are throwing away your old refrigerator, make sure the refrigerant is removed for proper disposal by a quali ed technician. If you intentionally release refrigerant, you may be subject to  nes and imprisonment under provisions of environmental legislation.

USE OF EXTENSION CORDS

WARNING: Do not use extension cords or ungrounded (two-prong) adaptors. Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, the use of an extension cord is not recommended. 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.

3-prong grounding type wall receptacle

3-prong grounding plug

Ensure proper ground exists before use.

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 amperes (minimum). This provides the best performance and also prevents overloading house wiring circuits which could cause a  re hazard from overheated wires. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only this appliance be provided.

Use a receptacle that cannot be turned o 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.

CAUTION

• Do not bend the power cord excessively or place heavy

articles on it.

• Connect the power plug in the proper position with the

cord hanging down.

• When moving the refrigerator, be careful not to roll

over or damage the power cord.

• If the power cord is damaged, have it replaced

immediately by the manufacturer or its service agent.

• Do not insert the power plug with wet hands.

• Do not insert your hands into the area under the

bottom of the appliance.

• Make sure that the power plug is not squashed or

damaged by the back of the refrigerator.

WARNING

Replacing Electrical Cord

To avoid hazard, damaged power cords must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly quali ed technician. Do not operate the appliance with a damaged power cord.

USING YOUR REFRIGERATOR

SETTING THE CONTROLS

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

ow 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.

AIRFLOW

Cold air circulates from the freezer to the fresh food section and back again through air vents in the wall dividing the two sections. Be sure not to block vents while

Temperature

t The Refrigerator Temp Control ranges from 30°F to

46°F (1°C to 8°C). Press the Refrigerator Temp button

to cycle through the available temperature settings one increment at a time. The recommended temperature for the refrigerator compartment is 37°F (3°C).

t The Freezer Temp Control range is from -6°F to 8°F

(-21°C to -13°C). Press the Freezer Temp button to

cycle through the available temperature settings one increment at a time. The recommended temperature for the freezer compartment is 0°F (-18°C).

NOTE: When changing control settings, wait 24 hours before making additional adjustments. The controls are set correctly when milk or juice is as cold as you would like

rm. If the temperature in either compartment is too cold or too warm, change the setting one increment at a time. Wait 24 hours for the change to stabilize before adjusting again.

FOOD STORAGE GUIDE

Wrap or store food in the refrigerator in airtight and moisture-proof material unless otherwise noted. This prevents food odor and taste transfer throughout the refrigerator. For dated products, check date code to ensure freshness.

Items How to

Butter or margarine

Cheese

Milk

Eggs

Fruit

Leafy vegetables

Keep opened butter in a covered dish or closed compartment. When storing an extra supply, wrap in freezer packaging and freeze.

Store in the original wrapping until you are ready to use it. Once opened, rewrap tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil.

Wipe milk cartons. For best storage, place milk on interior shelf, not on door shelf.

Store in original carton on interior shelf, not in door bin.

Wash, let dry, and store in refrigerator in plastic bags or in a drawer. Do not wash or hull fruit until you are ready to use it. Sort and keep fruit in its original container, in a refrigerator drawer, or store in a completely closed paper bag on a refrigerator shelf.

Remove store wrapping and trim

bruised and discolored areas. Wash in cold water and drain. Place in plastic bag or plastic container and store in refrigerator drawer.

STORING FROZEN FOOD NOTE: Check a freezer guide or a reliable cookbook

for further information about preparing food for freezing or food storage times.

Freezing

Your freezer will not quick-freeze a 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 lbs. 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 (how 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.

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 could also dry out frozen food.

Packaging recommendations:

tting lids

• Straight-sided canning/freezing jars

• Heavy-duty aluminum foil

• Plastic-coated paper

• Non-permeable plastic wraps ed freezer-grade self-sealing plastic bags

Follow package or container instructions for proper freezing methods.

Before service is performed on the interior LED lighting, unplug the refrigerator or turn o power at the circuit breaker or fuse box.

Setting either or both controls to the OFF position does not remove power to the light circuit.

NOTE: The refrigerator and freezer compartment lights are LED interior lighting, and service should be performed by a quali ed technician.

POWER INTERRUPTIONS

1. If the power will be out for 24 hours or less, keep all

refrigerator doors closed to help foods stay cold and frozen.

2. If the power will be out for more than 24 hours, remove

all frozen food and store it in a frozen food locker.

WHEN YOU GO ON VACATION

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 from the refrigerator and pack all

frozen food in dry ice.

2. Unplug the refrigerator.

3. Clean, wipe and dry thoroughly.

4. Take out all removable parts, wrap them well

and tape them together so they do not shift and rattle during the move. Refer to the USING YOUR REFRIGERATOR section for removal instructions.

5. Depending on the model, raise the front of the

refrigerator so it rolls more easily OR screw in the leveling legs all the way so they do not scrape the  oor. See the DOOR ALIGNMENT section.

6. Tape the doors shut and tape the power cord to the

refrigerator cabinet.

When you get to your new home, put everything back and refer to the REFRIGERATOR INSTALLATION section for preparation instructions.

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 and freeze other items.

2. Turn o the icemaker and empty the ice bin.

If you choose to turn the refrigerator o before you leave,

follow these steps.

1. Remove all food from the refrigerator.

2. Depending on your model, set the thermostat control

(refrigerator control) to OFF. See the SETTING THE CONTROLS section.

3. Clean the refrigerator, wipe it and dry well.

4. 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.

CONNECTING THE WATER LINE

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

This water line installation is not covered by the refrigerator warranty. 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 can lead to water leakage or  ooding. Call a quali ed plumber to correct water hammer before installing the water supply line to the refrigerator.

CAUTION: To prevent burns and product damage, only

connect the refrigerator water line to a cold water supply. Connect to a potable water supply only.

If you use your refrigerator before connecting the water line, make sure the Ice Maker button is set to OFF.

Do not install the icemaker tubing in areas where temperatures fall below freezing.

WATER PRESSURE Connect to the cold water supply. The water pressure

must be between 20 and 120 psi (138 to 827 kPa) on models without a water  lter and between 40 and 120 psi (276 to 827 kPa) on models with a water  lter.

If a reverse osmosis water  ltration system is connected to your cold water supply, this water line installation is not covered by the refrigerator warranty. Follow the following instructions carefully to minimize the risk of expensive water damage.

If a reverse osmosis water  ltration 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 of 7 oz capacity).

If the water pressure from the reverse osmosis system is less than 21 psi or 1.5 kgf/cm2 (takes more than 4.0 sec to  ll a cup of 7 oz capacity):

WHAT YOU WILL NEED

• Copper Tubing, ¼ in. 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 su cient extra tubing (about 8 feet [2.4 m] coiled into 3 turns of about 10 in. [25 cm] diameter) to allow the refrigerator to move out from the wall after installation.

• Power drill.

• ½ in. or adjustable wrench.

• Flat blade and Phillips head screwdrivers.

• Two ¼ in. outer diameter compression nuts and 2 ferrules (sleeves) to

connect the copper tubing to the shuto valve and the refrigerator water valve.

• If your existing copper water line has a  ared  tting 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 o the  ared  tting with a tube cutter and then use a compression  tting.

• Shuto valve to connect to the cold water line. The

shuto valve should have a water inlet with a minimum inside diameter of / in. at the point of connection to the COLD WATER LINE. Saddle-type shuto valves are included in many water supply kits. Before purchasing, make sure a saddle-type valve complies with your local plumbing codes.

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

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

When using any electrical device (such as a power drill) during installation, be sure the device is battery powered, double insulated or grounded in a manner that will prevent the hazard of electric shock.

CONNECTING THE WATER LINE

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Install the shuto 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 o any sediment from the water pipe.

3. DRILL THE HOLE FOR THE VALVE

Drill a ¼ in. hole in the water pipe using a sharp bit. Remove any burrs resulting from drilling the hole in the pipe. Be careful not to allow water to drain into the drill. Failure to drill a ¼ in. 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

Fasten the shuto valve to the cold water pipe with the pipe clamp.

5. TIGHTEN THE PIPE CLAMP

Tighten the clamp screws until the sealing washer begins to swell.

NOTE: Do not overtighten clamp or you may crush the

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

oor (behind the refrigerator or adjacent base cabinet)

as close to the wall as possible.

NOTE: Be sure there is su cient extra tubing (about

8 feet coiled into 3 turns of about 10 in. diameter) to allow the refrigerator to move out from the wall after installation.

7. CONNECT THE TUBING TO THE VALVE

Pla

ce the compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) for copper tubing onto the end of the tubing and connect it to the shuto valve. Make sure the tubing is fully inserted into the valve. Tighten the compression nut securely.

Diagnostics (on some models)

Should you experience any problems with your refrigerator, it has the capability of transmitting data via your telephone to the Diagnostics Team. This gives you the capability of speaking directly to our trained specialists. The specialist records the data transmitted from your machine and uses it to analyze the

ective diagnosis.

If you experience problems with your refrigerator, in the U.S.A. call 1-844-553-6667, and in Canada call 1-800- 469-4663. Only use the Diagnostics feature when instructed to do so by the Diagnostics Team. The transmission sounds that you will hear are normal and sound similar to a fax machine.
