REFRIGERATOR SAFETY

Your safety and the safety of others are very important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety

messages.

This is the safety alert symbol. This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.

All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word "DANGER" or "WARNING."

These words mean:

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately follow instructions.

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow

instructions.

All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury when using your refrigerator, follow these basic precautions:

• Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

• Do not remove ground prong.

• Do not use an adapter.

• Do not use an extension cord.

• Replace all parts and panels before operating.

• Remove doors from your old refrigerator.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

• Use nonflammable cleaner.

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

• Use two or more people to move and install refrigerator.

• Disconnect power before installing ice maker (on ice maker kit ready models only).

• Use a sturdy glass when dispensing ice (on some models).

Proper Disposal of Your Old 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:

• Takeoff the doors.

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

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

t t_,_ ¸_,I,_

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move and install refrigerator.

Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

<r e J st@

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."

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.

Explosion Hazard

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

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

To ensure proper ventilation for your refrigerator, allow for 1/2" (1.25 cm) space on each side and at the top. When installing your refrigerator next to a fixed wall, leave 2" (5.08 cm) minimum on each side (depending on your model) to allow for the door to swing open. Ifyour refrigerator has an ice maker, allow extra space at the back for the water line connections.

1/2" (1.25 cm)f /

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 covets:

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.

- II -- I

2" (5.08 cm)/

NOTES:

• It is recommended that you do not install the refrigerator near an oven, radiator, or other heat source. Do not install in a location where the temperature will fall below 55°F (13°C).

• 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.

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 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 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 the control (Thermostat, Refrigerator or Freezer Control depending on the model) 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. See "Using the

Control(s)."

Water Pressure

A cold water supply with water pressure of between 30 and 120 psi (207 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 30 and 120 psi (207 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.

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.

1. Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

2. Flush the water system. See "Prepare the Water System" or "Water and Ice Dispensers."

NOTE: Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Allow 3 days to completely fill ice container.

Please read before using the water system. Immediately after installation, follow the steps below to make

sure that the water system is properly cleaned.

1. Open the freezer door and turn off the ice maker. The On/Off switch is located on the top right side of the freezer compartment. Move the switch to the OFF (right) setting as

shown.

2. Use a sturdy container to depress and hold the water 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) for an additional 5 minutes. This will flush air from the filter and water dispensing system. Additional flushing may be required in some households.

NOTE: As air is cleared from the system, water may spurt out of the dispenser.

3. Open the freezer door and turn on the ice maker. Move the switch to the ON (left) position. Please refer to the "Ice Maker and Storage Bin" section for further instructions on the operation of your ice maker.

• Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice.

• Discard the first three batches of ice produced.

• Depending on your model, you may want to select the

maximum ice feature to increase the production of ice.

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, such as the floor, walls, and cabinets, can make the

sounds seem louder. The following describes the kinds of sounds and what may be making them.

• If your refrigerator is equipped with an ice maker, you will hear a buzzing sound when the water valve opens to fill the ice maker for each cycle.

• Your refrigerator is designed to run more efficiently to keep your food items at the desired temperatures and to minimize energy usage. The high efficiency compressor and fans may cause your refrigerator to run longer than your old one. You may also hear a pulsating or high-pitched sound from the compressor or fans adjusting to optimize performance.

• You may hear the evaporator fan motor circulating air through the refrigerator and freezer compartments. The fan speed may increase as you open the doors or add warm food.

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

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

• 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.

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

• You may hear water running into the drain pan during the defrost cycle.

REFRIGERATOR USE

In order to ensure proper temperatures, you need to permit air to flow 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. On Style 2 models, this air is also evenly distributed throughout the refrigerator compartment through six vents on the back wall. Air then returns to the freezer

as shown.

Style 1 Style 2

Do not block any of these vents with food such as soda, cereal, bread, etc. If the vents are blocked, airflow will be obstructed 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

thoroughly clean both sections to eliminate odors. To avoid odor transfer and drying out of food, wrap or cover foods tightly.

• 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.

• It is normal for the ice cubes to be attached at the corners. They will break apart easily.

• Do not store anything on top of the ice maker or in the storage bin.

Cleaning the Storage Bin

Cut Hazard

Plastic impeller blades cover a sharp ice shaving blade. Keep fingers away from ice shaving blade.

Failure to do so can result in cuts.

For best performance, clean the storage bin on a regular basis, especially after periods of little or no use.

NOTE: There are two dispensing mechanisms in the bottom of the ice storage bin. In the door handle-side of the bin is an auger (metal spiral) that is part of the mechanism that converts ice cubes to crushed ice. In the hinge-side of the bin is a plastic impeller that is part of the mechanism that converts ice cubes to

shaved ice.

1. Empty the ice container. Use warm water to melt the ice if necessary.

NOTE: Do not use anything sharp to break up the ice in the bin. This can damage the ice bin and the dispensing

mechanisms.

2. Wash ice bin with a mild detergent, rinse well and dry thoroughly. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners or solvents.

REFRIGERATOR FEATURES

Your model may have some or all of these features. Features that can be purchased separately as product accessories are labeled with the word "Accessory." Not all accessories will fit all models. If you are interested in purchasing one of the accessories, please

The convertible vegetable/meat drawer can be adjusted to properly chill meats or vegetables. The air inside the pan is cooled to avoid "spot" freezing and can be set to keep meats at the National Livestock and Meat Board recommended storage temperatures of 28° to 32°F (-2° to 0°C).

IMPORTANT: To extend freshness, wrap meats in airtight, moisture-proof materials before storing. Always store meat as

recommended.

Adjusting the Control

The convertible control comes preset at the lowest meat setting. To change a control setting: Move the control to the right

(colder) or to the left (less cold) as desired. To store vegetables: Set the control to VEG (all the way to the

left) to store vegetables at their optimal storage temperatures (which need to be warmer than those for meat).

IMPORTANT: If food starts to freeze, move the control to the left (less cold). Remember to wait 24 hours between adjustments.

Doing so gives the temperature of the food time to change.

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 fish or shellfish ......................... use same day as purchased

Frozen Food Storage Guide

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 Ibs 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.

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

Both the refrigerator and freezer sections defrost automatically. However, clean both compartments about once a month to avoid buildup of odors. Wipe up spills immediately.

To Clean Your Refrigerator:

1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

2. Remove all removable parts from inside, such as shelves, crispers, etc.

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, flammable fluids, 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.

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, flammable fluids, 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).

Determine whether your refrigerator exterior is painted metal, Ultra Satin TM (stainless look) finish, brushed aluminum or stainless steel, and choose the appropriate cleaning method.

NOTE: Ultra SatinTM (stainless look) finish has a smooth, uniform color with a glossy finish that resists fingerprints. 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 TM (stainless look) finish: 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 finish: 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 scuffs or marks, it is suggested that you use the manufacturer's approved Stainless Steel Cleaner and Polish. To order the cleaner, see

"Accessories."

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.

There is no need for routine condenser cleaning in normal home operating environments. If the environment is particularly greasy or dusty, or there is significant pet traffic in the home, the condenser should be cleaned every 2 to 3 months to ensure maximum efficiency.

If you need to clean the condenser:

• Remove the base grille. See "Base Grille" graphic or "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 finished.

Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.

NOTE: Not all appliance bulbs will fit your refrigerator. Be sure to replace the bulb with one of the same size and shape. The dispenser lights are LEDs that cannot be changed. All other lights require a 40-watt bulb. Replacement bulbs are available from your dealer.

1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

2. Remove light shield when applicable. NOTE: To clean the light shield, wash it with warm water and

liquid detergent. Rinse and dry the shield well.

3. Remove light bulb and replace with one of the same size, shape and wattage.

4. Replace light shield when applicable.

5. Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.

Crisper Lights

• If necessary, remove the top crisper drawer for easier access to the crisper light shield. Remove the light shield by squeezing the top and bottom in toward the center and pulling the bottom tabs out of the refrigerator liner, then sliding the top tabs down and out.

• Replace the light shield by sliding the top tabs up into the slotted holes in the refrigerator liner, then snapping the bottom tabs into place. If necessary, replace the top crisper

drawer.

Upper Freezer Light

Remove the light shield by squeezing the sides of the light shield in toward the center while pulling the shield forward as

shown. Replace the light shield by fitting the tabs into the slotted

holes in the freezer liner. Push in the shield until it snaps into place.

Lower Freezer Light Behind Top Freezer Basket (on some models)

Depending on your model, remove the top freezer basket or top freezer basket shelf. Remove light shield by removing the Phillips screw on the top of the shield. Gently rotate the shield until the left tab can be gently pulled from the freezer wall.

Replace the light shield by inserting the left tab into the freezer wall. Align top tab with screw hole and replace screw.

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.

Vacations

If You Choose to Leave the Refrigerator On While You're

Away:

1. Use up any perishables and freeze other items.

2. If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker:

• Raise wire shutoff arm to OFF (up) position or move the

switch to the OFF (right) setting.

• Shut off water supply to the ice maker.

3. Empty the ice bin.

If You Choose to Turn the Refrigerator Off Before You Leave:

1. Remove all food from the refrigerator.

2. If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker:

• Turn off the water supply to the ice maker at least one day ahead of time.

• When the last load of ice drops, raise the wire shutoff arm to the OFF (up) position or move the switch to the OFF (right) setting.

3. Depending on the model, turn the Temperature Control or Refrigerator Control to OFE See "Using the Control(s)."

4. Clean refrigerator, wipe it, and dry well.

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 off 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 shutoff arm

to the OFF (up) position or move the switch to the OFF (right) setting.

2. Remove all food from the refrigerator and pack all frozen food in dry ice.

3. Empty the ice bin.

4. Depending on the model, turn the Temperature Control or Refrigerator Control to OFE See "Using the Control(s)."

5. Unplug refrigerator.

6. Empty water from the defrost pan.

7. Clean, wipe, and dry thoroughly.

8. Take out all removable parts, wrap them well, and tape them together so they don't shift and rattle during the move.

9. 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 floor. See "Adjust the Doors."

10. 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" section for preparation instructions.

Also, if your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker, remember to reconnect the water supply to the refrigerator.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Try the solutions suggested here first in order to avoid the cost of an unnecessary service call.

The refrigerator will not operate

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.

• Sizzling/Gurgling - water dripping on the heater during defrost cycle

• Popping - contraction/expansion of inside walls, especially during initial cool-down

• Water running - may be heard when ice melts during the defrost cycle and water runs into the drain pan

• Creaking/Cracking - occurs as ice is being ejected from the ice maker mold.

The doors will not close completely

• Door blocked open? Move food packages away from door.

• Bin or shelf in the way? Push bin or shelf back in the correct position.

The doors are difficult to open

Power cord unplugged? Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

Is outlet working? Plug in a lamp to see if the outlet is

working. Household fuse blown or circuit breaker tripped? Replace

the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. If the problem continues, call an electrician.

Are controls on? Make sure the refrigerator controls are on. See "Using the Controls."

New installation? Allow 24 hours following installation for the refrigerator to cool completely.

NOTE: Adjusting the temperature controls to coldest setting will not cool either compartment more quickly.

The motor seems to run too much

Your new refrigerator may run longer than your old one due to its high-efficiency compressor and fans. The refrigerator may run even longer if the room is warm, a large food load is added, doors are opened often, or if the doors have been left open.

The refrigerator is noisy

Refrigerator noise has been reduced over the years. Due to this reduction, you may hear intermittent noises from your new refrigerator that you did not notice from your old model. Below are listed some normal sounds with an explanation.

• Buzzing - heard when the water valve opens to fill the ice maker

• Pulsating - fans/compressor adjusting to optimize performance, or the ice dispenser motor briefly pulsing every 24 hours after dispensing

• Rattling - flow of refrigerant, water line, or from items placed on top of the refrigerator

Explosion Hazard

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

• Are the gaskets dirty or sticky? Clean gaskets with mild soap and warm water.

The lights do not work

• Is a light bulb loose in the socket or burned out? See "Changing the Light Bulbs."

• Is the dispenser light set to OFF? On some models, the dispenser light will operate only when a dispenser lever/pad is pressed. If you want the dispenser light to stay on continuously, set the dispenser light to ON, or (on some models) NIGHT LIGHT or AUTO or HALF or DIM. See "Water and Ice Dispensers."

• Is the dispenser light set to NIGHT LIGHT or AUTO? On some models, if the dispenser is set to the NIGHT LIGHT or

AUTO mode, be sure the dispenser light sensor is not blocked. See "Water and Ice Dispensers."

Temperature is too warm

• New installation? Allow 24 hours following installation for the refrigerator to cool completely.

• Door(s) opened often or left open? Allows warm air to enter refrigerator. Minimize door openings and keep doors fully

closed.

• Large load of food added? Allow several hours for refrigerator to return to normal temperature.

• Controls set correctly for the surrounding conditions? Adjust the controls a setting colder. Check temperature in 24 hours. See "Using the Controls."

Is there a water filter installed on the refrigerator? Gray or dark discoloration in ice indicates that the water filtration

system needs additional flushing.

The ice dispenser will not operate properly

There is interior moisture buildup

NOTE: Some moisture buildup is normal.

• Humid room? Contributes to moisture buildup.

• Door(s) opened often or left open? Allows humid air to enter refrigerator. Minimize door openings and keep doors fully closed.

........aS"e te_ _

The ice maker is not producing ice or not enough ice

• Refrigerator connected to a water supply and the supply shutoff valve turned on? Connect refrigerator to water supply and turn water shutoff valve fully open.

• Kink in the water source line? A kink in the line can reduce water flow. Straighten the water source line.

• Ice maker turned on? Make sure wire shutoff arm or switch (depending on model) is in the ON position.

• New installation? Wait 24 hours after ice maker installation for ice production to begin. Wait 72 hours for full ice

production.

• Large amount of ice recently removed? Allow 24 hours for ice maker to produce more ice.

• Ice cube jammed in the ice maker ejector arm? Remove ice from the ejector arm with a plastic utensil.

• Reverse osmosis water filtration system connected to your cold water supply? This can decrease water pressure. See "Water Supply Requirements."

The ice cubes are hollow or small

Freezer door closed completely? Close the door firmly. If it does not close completely, see "The doors will not close completely."

• Ice bin installed correctly? Be sure the ice bin is firmly in position.

• New installation? Wait 24 hours after ice maker installation for ice production to begin. Wait 72 hours for full ice

production.

• Ice stuck in the delivery chute? Use a plastic utensil to clear the delivery chute.

• Has the wrong ice been added to the bin? Use only cubes produced by the current ice maker.

• Has the ice melted around the auger (metal spiral) in the ice bin? Empty the ice container. Use warm water to melt the ice if necessary.

Cut Hazard

Use a sturdy glass when dispensing ice. Failure to do so can result in cuts.

Is the ice dispenser stalling while dispensing "crushed" ice? Change the ice button from "crushed" to "cubed." If cubed ice dispenses correctly, depress the button for "crushed" ice and begin dispensing again.

NOTE: This is an indication of low water pressure.

• Water shutoff valve not fully open? Turn the water shutoff valve fully open.

• Kink in the water source line? A kink in the line can reduce water flow. Straighten the water source line.

• Reverse osmosis water filtration system connected to your cold water supply? This can decrease water pressure. See "Water Supply Requirements."

• Questions remain regarding water pressure? Call a licensed, qualified plumber.

Off-taste, odor or gray color in the ice

New plumbing connections? New plumbing connections

can cause discolored or off-flavored ice. Ice stored too long? Discard ice. Wash ice bin. Allow

24 hours for ice maker to make new ice. See "Ice Maker and Storage Bin."

Odor transfer from food? Use airtight, moisture-proof packaging to store food.

Are there minerals (such as sulfur) in the water? A water filter may need to be installed to remove the minerals.

Cut Hazard

Plastic impeller blades cover a sharp ice shaving blade. Keep fingers away from ice shaving blade.

Failure to do so can result in cuts.

• Is the ice dispenser stalling while dispensing "shaved" ice? Remove and reinstall the ice storage bin. If dispensing continues to stall, empty the existing ice, clean and reinstall the bin, then use new ice. See "Ice Maker and Storage Bin."

• Has the dispenser arm been held in too long? Ice will stop dispensing when the arm is held in too long. Wait 3 minutes

for dispenser motor to reset before using again.

The water dispenser will not operate properly

• Freezer door closed completely? Close the door firmly. If it does not close completely, see "The doors will not close completely."

• Refrigerator connected to a water supply and the supply shutoff valve turned on? Connect refrigerator to water supply and turn water shutoff valve fully open.

• Is the water pressure at least 30 psi (207 kPa)? The water pressure to the home determines the flow from the dispenser. See "Water Supply Requirements."

• Kink in the home water source line? Straighten the water source line.

• New installation? Flush and fill the water system.

• Water filter installed on the refrigerator? The filter may be clogged or incorrectly installed.

• Is a reverse osmosis water filtration system connected to

your cold water supply? See "Water Supply Requirements."
