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.

W10137649A

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.

• 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).

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 1/211 (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 21/2'' (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).

1/2"(1.26crn)/

21/2" (6.3 crn)

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.

4 d _ .... ...... '.,

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

here.

TOOLS NEEDED:

• Flat-blade screwdriver • 1/411nut driver

• 7/16IIand 1/211Open-end or two • 1/411Drill bit adjustable wrenches

• Cordless drill

IMPORTANT:

• All installations must meet local plumbing code requirements.

• Do not use a piercing-type or 3/16"(4.76 ram) 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.

Water Pressure

A cold water supply with water pressure of between 35 and 120 psi (241 and 827 kPa) is required to operate the water

dispenser and ice maker. Ifyou 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 120 psi (241 and 827 kPa).

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 W' to 1W' (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 W'

(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 W' hole in the cold water pipe you have selected.

...... A

8. Place the free end of the tubing in a container or sink, and turn ON the main water supply. Flush the tubing until water is clear.

Turn OFF the shutoff valve on the water pipe.

Connect to Refrigerator

Depending on your model, the water line may come down from the top or up from the bottom. Follow the connection instructions

for your model. Style 1

1. Remove plastic cap from water valve inlet port. Attach the copper tube to the valve inlet using a compression nut and sleeve as shown. Tighten the compression nut. Do not

overtighten. Confirm copper tubing is secure by pulling on copper tubing.
