State of California Proposition 65 Warnings: WARNING: This product contains one or more chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer. WARNING: This product contains one or more chemicals known to the State of California to cause birth defects or other

reproductive harm.

Proper Disposal of Your Old Refrigerator

WARNING

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.

BEFORE USE

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.

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. 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.

Water Supply Requirements

Read all directions before you begin.

IMPORTANT:

■ When your refrigerator was installed, the water connection

from the water source should have been connected to your refrigerator. If your refrigerator is not connected to a water source, see “Connect to Water Line” in the Installation Instructions. If you have any questions about your water connection, see “Troubleshooting” or call a licensed, qualiﬁed plumber.

Important information to know about disposal of refrigerants:

Dispose of refrigerator in accordance with Federal and Local regulations. Refrigerants must be evacuated by a licensed, EPA certified refrigerant technician in accordance with established procedures.

■ If you turn the refrigerator on before the water line is

connected, turn the ice maker Off. See “Ice Maker and Storage Bin.”

■ All installations must meet local plumbing code requirements.

Water Pressure

A cold water supply with water pressure 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, see “Troubleshooting” or 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 psi (276 kPa).

If the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system is less than 40 psi (276 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.

Water System Preparation

Please read before using the water system. Follow the directions speciﬁc to your model.

Style 1 (Dispenser Models) IMPORTANT: After connecting the refrigerator to a water source

or replacing the water ﬁlter, follow the steps below to make sure that the water system is properly cleaned. This will ﬂush air from the ﬁlter and water dispensing system, and prepare the water ﬁlter for use.

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

NOTE: If your model has a base grille ﬁlter system, make sure the base grille ﬁlter is properly installed and the cap is in the horizontal position.

To clean the ice storage bin:

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 or bucket. This can cause damage to the ice container and the dispenser mechanism.

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

Remember

A B

■ Allow 24 hours to produce the ﬁrst batch of ice. Allow 3 days

to completely ﬁll ice container.

■ Discard the ﬁrst three batches of ice produced to avoid

impurities that may be ﬂushed out of the system.

■ 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.

■ For Style 1 ice maker, do not force the wire shutoff arm up or

down.

■ Do not store anything on top of the ice maker or in the ice

storage bin/bucket.

Water Filtration System

REFRIGERATOR FEATURES

Refrigerator Shelves

Important information to know about glass shelves and covers:

Ingredient Care Center

The control for the Ingredient Care Center adjusts the storage temperature of the pan. Cold air ﬂows into the pan through the air duct between the freezer and the refrigerator. Setting the controls allows more or less cold air through the air duct.

To Adjust the Ingredient Care Center

1. Choose a setting based on the item to be stored in the pan.

2. Push the button that corresponds to that setting.

3. The indicator light for that setting will illuminate to verify that the pan is ready to be loaded.

Remove and Replace the Ingredient Care Center Cover

1. Remove food from Ingredient Care Center cover. Pull drawer out about 4” (10.16 cm). Reach under the glass shelf with both hands and lift gently upward until back of shelf is free. Tilt the shelf at an angle and remove the shelf from the refrigerator. Be sure not to bump the glass.

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 help save energy.

Shelves and Shelf Frames

To remove and replace a shelf/frame:

1. Remove the shelf/frame by tilting it up at the front and lifting it out of the shelf supports. Pull shelf straight out.

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

3. Lower the front of the shelf and check that the shelf is securely in position.

2. Replace the cover by holding the glass shelf ﬁrmly with both hands, tilt the shelf at an angle and position it above the support rails. Place shelf gently on support rails on side wall.

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

Chicken, ground beef, variety meat (liver, etc.) ................ 1-2 days

Cold cuts, steaks/roasts .................................................. 3-5 days

Cured meats................................................................... 7-10 days

Leftovers - Cover leftovers with plastic wrap, aluminum foil, or plastic containers with tight lids.

Crisper and Covers

To remove and replace the crispers:

1. Slide the crisper drawer straight out to the stop. Lift the front of the drawer with one hand while supporting the bottom of the drawer with your other hand and slide the drawer out the rest of the way.

2. To replace the crisper drawer, place the drawer onto slides and push the drawer back until securely in position.

DOOR FEATURES

Utility Compartment

(on some models)

The utility compartment can be placed in any position on the refrigerator door.

To remove and replace the utility bin:

1. Remove utility compartment by grasping both ends and lifting compartment up and out.

2. Replace the bin by sliding it in above the desired support and pushing it down until it stops.

Door Bins

Large door bins hold gallon containers and the smaller door bins hold 2-liter bottles. The door bins are adjustable and removable for easy cleaning and adjusting.

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 lbs 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 sure 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.

Gallon Door Bin

To install gallon door bin:

NOTE: The gallon door bin can only be placed on the lower support.

1. Position gallon door bin above lowest door adjustment slot.

REFRIGERATOR CARE

Cleaning

WARNING

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 sections about once a month to avoid build-up of odors. Wipe up spills immediately.

To Clean Your Refrigerator:

1. Remove the top grille. See “Power On/Off Switch.”

2. Press power switch to OFF.

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

4. 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).

5. Wash stainless steel and painted metal exteriors with a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water. Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners, or cleaners containing chlorine. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.

NOTE: 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.

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. To order the cleaner, see “Accessories.”

6. Clean the condenser coils located behind the top grille ventilation panel regularly. Coils may need to be cleaned as often as every other month. This may help save energy.

■ Use a vacuum cleaner with an extended attachment to

clean the condenser coils when they are dusty or dirty.

7. Press the power switch to ON.

8. Replace the top grille. See “Power On/Off Switch.”

Lights

The lights in both the refrigerator and freezer compartments are LEDs which do not need to be replaced. If the lights do not illuminate when the door is opened, call for assistance or service. In the U.S.A., call 1-800-422-1230. In Canada call 1-800-807-

6777.

Power Interruptions

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 lbs (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.

Vacation Care

Your refrigerator is equipped with the Sabbath Mode feature, which is designed for the traveler who wishes to turn off the lights and ice maker. By selecting this feature, the temperature set points remain unchanged, the ice maker will be disabled and the interior lights will turn off. For most efﬁcient refrigerator operation, it is recommended to exit Sabbath Mode when it is no longer required.

If You Choose To Leave the Refrigerator On While You’re Away:

1. Use up any perishables and freeze other items.

2. Press SABBATH.

3. If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker, shut off water supply to the ice maker.

4. Empty the ice bin.

5. When you return from vacation, press SABBATH to return to normal operation.

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.

3. Depending on your model, turn the Thermostat Control (or Refrigerator Control) to OFF. See “Using the Controls.”

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.

an automatic defrost cycle. Recheck in 30 minutes to see if it is operating.

■ 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 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

■ Rattling - ﬂow of refrigerant, water line, or from items placed

on top of the refrigerator

■ 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 water melts during the

defrost cycle and runs into the drain pan

■ Creaking/Cracking - occurs as ice is being ejected from the

ice maker mold.

There is no audible door open alarm

Has the door been open less than 10 minutes? The door open

alarm will only ﬂash when the door has been open for 10 minutes. The audible alarm will sound the ﬁrst time the door is left open for more than 10 minutes. Subsequent door open alarms will only ﬂash. You must reset the audible alarm each time. See “Using the Control(s).”

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 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 unit 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 doors are difﬁcult to open

WARNING

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.

It is essential that operational, maintenance, and filter replacement requirements be carried out for the product to perform as advertised.

Use replacement filter T2RFWG2, part #4396841. Model T1WG2L: Style 1 – When the filter indicator reads 10%,

order a new filter. When the indicator reads 0%, it is recommended that you replace the filter.

Style 2 – When the filter indicator changes from green to yellow, order a new filter. When the indicator changes from yellow to red, it is recommended that you replace the filter.

Model T1WG2: Change the water filter cartridge every 6months. If the water flow to the water dispenser or ice maker decreases noticeably before 6months have passed, replace the water filter cartridge more often.

These contaminants are not necessarily in your water supply. While testing was performed under standard laboratory conditions, actual performance may vary.
