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 to persons when using the refrigerator, follow basic precautions,

including the following:

• Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

• Do not remove ground prong.

• Do not use an adapter.

• Do not use an extension cord.

• Disconnect power before servicing.

• Replace all parts and panels before operating.

• Remove doors from your old refrigerator.

SAVETHESEINSTRUCTIONS

• 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).

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:

• Take off the doors.

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

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move and install
refrigerator.

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

Remove the Packaging

Remove tape and glue residue from surfaces before turning
on the refrigerator. Rub a small amount of liquid dish soap

over the adhesive with your fingers. Wipe with warm water
and dry.

Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, flammable
fluids, or abrasive cleaners to remove tape or glue. These

products can damage the surface of your refrigerator. For
more information, see "Refrigerator Safety."

• Dispose of/recycle all packaging materials.

When Moving Your Refrigerator:
Your refrigerator is heavy. When moving the refrigerator

for cleaning or service, be sure to protect the floor.
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.

LO(., <__£.4 Fleql.lI;l(_ mel"_ts

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 a W'
(1.25 cm) space at the top and behind the refrigerator. If your

refrigerator has an ice maker, allow extra space at the back for
the water line connections. When installing your refrigerator next

to a fixed wall, leave 2W' (6.3 cm) minimum on the hinge side
(some models require more) to allow for the door to swing open.

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

Clean Before Using

After you remove all of the packaging materials, clean the inside

of your refrigerator before using it. See the cleaning instructions
in "Refrigerator Care."

important information to know about glass shelves
and covers:

Do not clean glass shelves or covers with warm water when
they are cold. Shelves and covers may break if exposed to

sudden temperature changes or impact, such as bumping.
For your protection, tempered glass is designed to shatter

into many small, pebble-size pieces. This is normal. Glass
shelves and covers are heavy. Use special care when

removing them to avoid impact from dropping.

1/2" I

]E

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.

Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation.
Read and follow the instructions provided with any tools listed

here. 4.

TOOLS NEEDED:

• Flat-blade screwdriver • 1/411Nut driver

• 7/16"and 1/2"Open-end or two • 1/4"Drill bit
adjustable wrenches • Cordless drill 5.

IMPORTANT:

• All installations must meet local plumbing code requirements.

• Do not use a piercing-type or 3/16II(4.76 mm) saddle valve
which reduces water flow and clogs more easily.

• Use copper tubing and check for leaks. Install copper tubing
only in areas where the household temperatures will remain
above freezing.

Reverse Osmosis Water Supply
IMPORTANT: The pressure of the water supply coming out of a

reverse osmosis system going to the water inlet valve of the
refrigerator needs to be between 35 and 120 psi (241 and
827 kPa).

If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is connected to your
cold water supply, the water pressure to the reverse osmosis
system needs to be a minimum of 40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa).

If the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system is less than
4O

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.

Read all directions before you begin.
IMPORTANT: Ifyou turn the refrigerator on before the water line

is connected, turn the ice maker OFR

Connect to Water Line

1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

2. Turn OFF main water supply. Turn ON nearest faucet long
enough to clear line of water.

3. Find a 1/2"to 11/4'' (12.7 mm to 3.18 mm) vertical cold water
pipe near the refrigerator.

IMPORTANT:

• Make sure it is a cold water pipe.

• Horizontal pipe will work, but the following procedure

must be followed: Drill on the top side of the pipe, not the
bottom. This will help keep water away from the drill. This
also keeps normal sediment from collecting in the valve.

Determine the length of copper tubing you need. Measure
from the connection on the lower right rear of refrigerator to
the water pipe. Add 7 ft (2.1 m) to allow for cleaning. Use 1/4"
(6.35 mm) O.D. (outside diameter) copper tubing. Be sure
both ends of copper tubing are cut square.

Using a cordless drill, drill a 1/4"hole in the cold water pipe
you have selected.

IMPORTANT:

• If you did not flush the water system when the refrigerator
was first installed, see "Water System Preparation" for
instructions on flushing the water system.

• Allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to cool down and chill
water. Dispense enough water every week to maintain afresh
supply.

Dispensing Water

1. Hold a container under the dispenser while pressing the
button.

2. Release the button to stop dispensing.

Non-Indicator Water Filter

If your refrigerator does not have a water filter status light, you
should change the water filter every 6 months depending on your
usage. If the water flow to the dispenser or ice maker decreases
noticeably before 6 months have passed, replace the water filter

more often.

Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or
of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before

or after the system. Systems certified for cyst reduction
may be used on disinfected waters that may contain

filterable cysts.

IMPORTANT:

• The water filter should be replaced when the status light is
red (Replace) or earlier if the flow of water to your water
dispenser or ice maker decreases noticeably.

• Air trapped in the system may cause water and the water
filter to eject. Dispense water for 2 minutes before removing

the used water filter.

Replacing the Water Filter

The water filter status light will help you know when to change
the water filter. When the yellow (Order) light is on, it is almost
time to change the water filter. When the red (Replace) light is on,

a new water filter should be installed. See "Water Filtration
System."

After replacing the water filter, press and hold FILTER RESET for

3 seconds until the Order or Replace light turns off.

Turning the Ice Maker On/Off

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

OFF (arm up) position and listen for the click.
NOTE: Your ice maker has an automatic shutoff. As ice is made,

the ice cubes will fill the ice storage bin and the ice cubes will
raise the wire shutoff arm to the OFF (arm up) position. Do not
force the wire shutoff arm up or down.

Ice Production Rate

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

• To increase ice production, lower the freezer and refrigerator
temperature. See "Using the Controls." Wait 24 hours
between adjustments.

Remember

• Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the
first three batches of ice produced.

The quality of your ice will be only as good as the quality of
the water supplied to your ice maker. Avoid connecting the
ice maker to a softened water supply. Water softener
chemicals (such as salt) can damage parts of the ice maker
and lead to poor quality ice. If a softened water supply cannot
be avoided, make sure the water softener is operating
properly and is well maintained.

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

REFRIGERATOR FEATURES

Your model may have some or all of these features.

important information to know about glass shelves

and covers:

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

For your protection, tempered glass is designed to shatter
into many small, pebble-size pieces. This is normal. Glass
shelves and covers are heavy. Use special care when
removing them to avoid impact from dropping.

The shelves in your refrigerator are adjustable to meet your
individual storage needs.

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, and save energy.

Shelves and Shelf Frames

To remove and replace a shelf/shelf frame:

1. Remove the shelf/frame by tilting it up at the front and lifting it

out of the shelf supports.

2. Replace the shelf/frame by guiding the rear shelf hooks into
the shelf supports. Tilt the front of the shelf up until rear shelf
hooks drop into the shelf supports.

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

To remove and replace the crisper(s}:

1. Slide crisper(s) straight out to the stop. Lift the front of the
crisper(s) and slide out the rest of the way.

You can control the amount of humidity in the moisture-sealed
crisper. Adjust the control to any setting between LOW and

HIGH.
LOW (open) lets moist air out of the crisper for best storage of

fruits and vegetables with skins.

• Fruit: Wash, let dry and store in refrigerator in plastic bag or
crisper. Do not wash or hull berries until they are ready to use.
Sort and keep berries in original container in crisper, or store
in a loosely closed paper bag on a refrigerator shelf.

• Vegetables with skins: Place in plastic bags or plastic
container and store in crisper.

HIGH (closed) keeps moist air in the crisper for best storage of

fresh, leafy vegetables.

• Leafy vegetables: Wash in cold water, drain and trim or tear
off bruised and discolored areas. Place in plastic bag or
plastic container and store in crisper.

Drawer Temperature Control

The temperature control, located under the lid on the right-hand
side of the drawer, regulates the amount of cold air coming into

the drawer.
NOTE: Cold air directed into the drawer can decrease the

refrigerator temperature. The refrigerator temperature may need
to be adjusted.

• Slide the temperature control to the least cold setting if you
want the drawer to be the same temperature as the

Grips pads help keep items from sliding in the door bins. Grip
pads are removable and are top-rack dishwasher safe for easy
cleaning.

Both the refrigerator and freezer sections defrost automatically.
However, clean both sections about once a month to avoid

buildup of odors. Wipe up spills immediately.
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.

To Clean Your Refrigerator:
NOTE: 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.

1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

2. 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.

3. Wash stainless steel and painted metal exteriors with a clean
sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water.

• 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 & Polish. To order the cleaner, see "Accessories."

IMPORTANT: This cleaner is for stainless steel parts only!
Do not allow the Stainless Steel Cleaner & Polish to come into

contact with any plastic parts such as the trim pieces,
dispenser covers or door gaskets. If unintentional contact
