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.

• Disconnect power before servicing.

• 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 YouThrow Away Your Old Refrigerator or Freezer:

• Takeoff thedoors.

• 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."

• Properly dispose of packaging.

When MovingYour 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.

Explosion Hazard

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

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

• Your refrigerator is designed for indoor, household use only.

• To ensure proper ventilation for your refrigerator, allow for a 1/2"(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 21/8"(5.4 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"(1.25cm)/

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.

I I +Y

Read all directions before you begin. IMPORTANT:

• If you turn the refrigerator on before the water line is connected, turn the ice maker OFE

• All installations must meet local plumbing code requirements.

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

TOOLS NEEDED: Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation. Read and follow the instructions provided with any tools listed here. Flat-blade screwdriver, 74e"and 1/2" open-end wrenches or two adjustable wrenches, 1/4"nut driver and drill bit, hand drill or electric drill (properly grounded).

NOTE: Your refrigerator dealer has a kit available with a 1/4" (6.35 mm) saddle-type shutoff valve, a union, and copper tubing. Before purchasing, make sure a saddle-type valve complies with your local plumbing codes. Do not use a piercing-type or 34e" (4.76 mm) saddle valve which reduces water flow and clogs more easily.

Water Pressure

A cold water supply with water pressure of between 35 and

100 psi (241 and 689 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 35 and 100 psi (241 and 689 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.

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

is connected, turn the ice maker OFE

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 lY4" (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.

5. Usingagroundeddrill,drilla1/4"holeinthecoldwaterpipe youhaveselected.

2. Create a service loop with the copper tubing. Avoid kinks when coiling the copper tubing. Secure copper tubing to refrigerator cabinet with a "P" clamp.

3. Open the door again to make sure that it closes as easily as you like. If not, tilt the refrigerator slightly more to the rear by

turning both front adjustment screws to the right. It may take several more turns, and you should turn both adjustment screws the same amount.

4. Lower the stabilizing foot by turning itclockwise until it is firmly against floor.

5. Turn the front adjustment screws counterclockwise to allow the full weight of the refrigerator to rest on the stabilizing feet.

6. Replace the base grille.

3. Flush the water system by dispensing and discarding 2 to 3 gal. (8 to 12 L) of water. Flushing the system will take approximately 6 to 7 minutes and will help clear air from the line. Additional flushing may be required in some households.

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

4. Inspect the filter system for water leaks. If you see water leaks, see the "Troubleshooting" section.

5. Turn on the ice maker by opening the freezer door and lowering the wire shutoff arm as shown. Please refer to the "Ice Maker" 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.

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.

In order to ensure proper temperatures, you need to permit airflow between the refrigerator and freezer sections. As shown in the illustration, cool air enters the freezer section through vents in the rear and top. The air flows forward through the freezer section

and recirculates under the freezer floor. Cool air enters the refrigerator section through the top, flows down and across

shelves to the doors and recirculates to return air vents at the bottom.

Do not block any airflow vents. 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.

REFRIGERATOR USE

There are two refrigerator compartment doors. The doors can be opened and closed either separately or together.

There is a vertically-hinged seal on the left refrigerator door.

• When the left side door is opened, the hinged seal automatically folds inward so that it is out of the way.

• When both doors are closed, the hinged seal automatically forms a seal between the two doors.

Ice Production Rate

Normal Ice Production: The ice maker should produce a complete batch of ice every 3 hours. If ice is not being made fast enough, adjust the Freezer Control to a lower (colder) number in steps. Wait 24 hours. If necessary, gradually adjust the Freezer Control to the lowest setting, waiting 24 hours between each adjustment.

Optimlce Production (on some models): The ice maker should produce approximately 16 to 20 batches of ice in a 24-hour period. If your refrigerator has the Optimlce production feature, press the Optimlce touchpad.

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.

4. Flush the water system by dispensing and discarding 2 to 3 gal. (8 to 12 L) of water. Cleaning the system will take approximately 6 to 7 minutes and will help clear air from the line. Additional flushing may be required in some households.

5. Inspect the water filter system for leaks. Ifyou see water leaks, see "Troubleshooting."

REFRIGERATOR CARE

Explosion Hazard

Use nonflammable cleaner. 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

build-up 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.

3. 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).

4. Determine whether your refrigerator exterior is painted metal, brushed aluminum or stainless steel and choose the

appropriate cleaning method. 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. For additional protection against 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.

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 & Polish. To order the cleaner, see the

"Accessories" section.

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 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.

6. 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, shape, and wattage.

Changing the Refrigerator Light Bulb

1. Unplug the refrigerator or disconnect power.

2. Slide the light bulb cover toward the back of the compartment to release it from the light assembly.

4. Insert the front tabs of the cover into the liner and snap the back portion of the cover over the light assembly.

5. Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.

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.

3. Replace burned-out bulb(s) with appliance light bulb(s) no greater than 40 watts.

4. Replace the light bulb cover by inserting the tabs on the cover into the liner holes on each side of light assembly. Slide

the cover toward the front until it locks into place. NOTE: To avoid damaging the light cover, do not force the

o (=ii=.> l=al !] call

Lire toutes les instructions avant de commencer. IMPORTANT:

• Si on doit utiliser le refrigerateur avant qu'il soit raccorde & la canalisation d'eau, placer la commande de la machine gla£sons a la position OFF (arr_t).

• Toutes les installations doivent _tre conformes aux exigences des codes Iocaux de plomberie.

• Utiliser un tube en cuivre et verifier s'il y a des fuites. Installer les tubes en cuivre seulement &des endroits oQ la

temperature se maintient au-dessus du point de congelation.

OUTILLAGE REQUlS : Rassembler les outils et pieces necessaires avant de commencer I'installation. Lire et suivre les

instructions fournies avec les outils indiques ici. Tournevis & lame plate, cles plates de 7/le"et V2"ou 2 cles & molette reglables, tourne-ecrou et foret de V4",perceuse manuelle ou electrique (convenablement reliee a la terre).

REMARQUE : Votre marchand de refrigerateurs propose une trousse disponible avec un robinet d'arr_t & etrier de W' (6,35 mm), un raccord et un tube en cuivre. Avant I'achat, s'assurer que le robinet d'arr_t & etrier est conforme & vos codes Iocaux de plomberie. Ne pas employer de robinet d'arr_t & etrier de 3/le" (4,76 mm) ou de type &percer, ce qui reduit le debit d'eau et cause une obstruction plus facilement.

Pression de I'eau

Une alimentation en eau froide avec une pression entre 35 et 100 Ib/po 2(241 et 689 kPa) est necessaire pour faire fonctionner le distributeur d'eau et la machine &gla£sons. Si vous avez des questions au sujet de la pression de votre eau, appelez un plombier qualifie agree.

Alimentation en eau par osmose inverse

IMPORTANT : La pression de I'alimentation en eau entre le

systeme d'osmose inverse et la valve d'arrivee d'eau du refrigerateur doit _tre entre 35 et 100 Ib/po 2(241 et 689 kPa).

Si un systeme de purification de I'eau par osmose inverse est raccorde &votre alimentation en eau froide, la pression de I'eau au systeme doit _tre d'un minimum de 40 a 60 Ib/po 2 (276 414 kPa).

Si la pression de I'eau au systeme d'osmose inverse est inferieure a 40 & 60 Ib/po _(276 & 414 kPa) :

• Verifier pour voir si le filtre &sediment du systeme d'osmose inverse est bloque et le remplacer si necessaire.

• Laisser le reservoir du systeme d'osmose inverse se remplir apres une utilisation intense.

• Si votre refrigerateur a un filtre &eau, celui-ci peut reduire encore plus la pression de I'eau Iorsqu'il est utilise avec un systeme d'osmose inverse. Retirer le filtre a eau. Voir "Systeme de filtration d'eau".

Si vous avez des questions au sujet de la pression de votre eau, appeler un plombier qualifie agree.

Lire toutes les instructions avant de commencer. IMPORTANT : Si on doit utiliser le refrigerateur avant qu'il soit

raccorde &la canalisation d'eau, placer la commande de la machine a gla£sons a la position OFF (arr_t).

Raccordement & une canalisation d'eau

1. Debrancher le refrigerateur ou deconnecter la source de courant electrique.

2. FERMER le robinet principal d'arrivee d'eau. OUVRIR le robinet de puisage le plus proche pendant une periode suffisante pour que la canalisation d'eau se vide.

3. Trouver une canalisation d'eau froide verticale de V_"& 11/4" (12,7 mm & 3,18 mm) pres du refrigerateur.

IMPORTANT :

Assurez-vous qu'il s'agit d'un conduit d'eau froide. Un conduit horizontal fonctionnera, mais le procede

suivant doit _tre suivi : percer par le dessus de la canalisation et non pas par le dessous. Ainsi, I'eau ne risquera pas d'arroser la perceuse. Ceci emp_che egalement les sediments qu'on trouve normalement dans

I'eau de s'accumuler dans le robinet.

4. Pour determiner la Iongueur du tube en cuivre, il faut mesurer la distance entre le point de connexion au bas du c6te arriere droit du refrig6rateur et le tuyau d'arrivee d'eau. Ajouter une Iongueur de 7 pi (2,1 m) pour permettre le deplacement du refrig6rateur pour le nettoyage. Utiliser un tube en cuivre de 1/4"(6,35 mm) de diametre exterieur. Veiller &ce que le tube soit coupe d'equerre aux deux extremites.

5. A I'aide d'une perceuse electrique reliee & la terre, percer un trou de 1/4"dans le tuyau de canalisation d'eau froide choisie.

2. Creer une boucle de service avec le tube de cuivre. €:viter les deformations en pliant le tube de cuivre. Fixer le tube en

cuivre a la caisse du refrigerateur avec une bride en "P".
