NOTES:
■ For the refrigerator drawers to be flush with the front of the
base cabinets remove any baseboards or moldings from the
rear of the opening. See “Product Dimensions” and later in
this section “Opening Dimensions (both styles).”
■ It is recommended that you do not install the refrigerator
drawers near an oven, radiator, or other heat source.
■ Do not install in a location where the temperature will fall
below 55°F (13°C).
Opening Dimensions (both styles)
■ Height dimensions are shown with the leveling legs extended
to the minimum height of ¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm) below the refrigerator
drawers.
NOTE: When leveling legs are fully extended to 1" (25 mm)
below the refrigerator drawers, add ³⁄₄" (19.05 mm) to the

Water Supply Requirements
Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation.
Read and follow the instructions provided with any tools listed
here.
IMPORTANT:
■ If you turn the refrigerator on before the water line is
connected, turn the ice maker OFF.
■ 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: Flat-blade screwdriver, ⁷⁄₁₆" and ¹⁄₂" open-end
wrenches or two adjustable wrenches, ¹⁄₄" nut driver and drill bit,
cordless drill.
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 ³⁄₁₆"
(4.76 mm) saddle valve which reduces water flow and clogs more
easily.
Water Pressure
A cold water supply with water pressure of between 30 and
120 psi (207 and 827 kPa) is required to operate 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 you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed,
qualified plumber.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Unpack the Refrigerator Drawers
Remove the Packaging
Remove tape and glue residue from surfaces before turning on
the refrigerator drawers. Rub a small amount of liquid dish soap
over the glue residue 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 drawers.
Properly dispose of packaging.
Clean Before Using
After you remove all of the package materials, clean the inside of
your refrigerator drawers before using them. See “Cleaning.”
Connect Water Supply
(Refrigerator/Freezer Drawers and
Double Freezer Drawers only)
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. Locate a ½" to 1¹⁄₄" (1.25 cm to 3.18 cm) vertical cold water
pipe near the refrigerator.
IMPORTANT:
■ Make sure it is a cold water pipe.
■ Horizontal pipe will work, but drill on the top side of the
pipe, not the bottom. This will help keep water away from
the drill and normal sediment from collecting in the valve.
4. Determine the length of copper tubing you need. Measure
from the connection on the lower left 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. Using a cordless drill, drill a ¹⁄₄" hole in the cold water pipe you
have selected.
6. Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water pipe with the pipe
clamp. Be sure the outlet end is solidly in the ¹⁄₄" drilled hole in
the water pipe and that the washer is under the pipe clamp.
Tighten the packing nut. Tighten the pipe clamp screws slowly
and evenly so washer makes a watertight seal. Do not
overtighten or you may crush the copper tubing.
7. Slip the compression sleeve and compression nut on the
copper tubing as shown. Insert the end of the tubing into the
outlet end squarely as far as it will go. Screw compression nut
onto outlet end with adjustable wrench. Do not overtighten.
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. Coil the copper
tubing.
Connect to Refrigerator
1. Attach the copper tube to the valve inlet using a compression
nut and sleeve as shown. Tighten the compression nut. Do not
overtighten. Use the tube clamp on the back of the refrigerator
to secure the tubing to the refrigerator as shown. This will help
avoid damage to the tubing when the refrigerator is pushed
back against the wall.
2. Turn shutoff valve ON.
3. Check for leaks. Tighten any connections (including
connections at the valve) or nuts that leak.
4. The ice maker is equipped with a built-in water strainer. If your
water conditions require a second water strainer, install it in
the ¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm) water line at either tube connection. Obtain
a water strainer from your nearest appliance dealer.
5. Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.
WARNING
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install
refrigerator drawer(s).
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
When Moving Your Refrigerator Drawers:
Your refrigerator drawers are heavy. When moving the
appliance for service, be sure to cover the floor with
cardboard or hardboard to avoid floor damage. Always pull
the appliance straight out when moving it. Do not wiggle or
“walk” the appliance when trying to move it, as floor
damage could occur.

Final Location
1. Place top of cardboard carton or plywood under the
appliance. Remove dolly.
2. Do not remove film or cover.
3. Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
4. Move the refrigerator drawers straight back and evenly in front
of the opening.
Level the Refrigerator Drawers
IMPORTANT:
■ Overlay Model—Be sure to install the custom overlay drawer
panels before leveling the refrigerator drawers. See “Install
Custom Overlay Drawer Panels.”
■ Before installing the refrigerator drawers, be sure that the
countertop is level.
■ If the countertop is not level, adjust the refrigerator drawers’
leveling legs until the appliance is square with the countertop.
Be sure to maintain ³⁄₈" (9.5 mm) minimum gap between the
top of the drawer and the countertop.
1. Open the top drawer and place the level across the top
drawer as shown. Check the level from left to right.
2. Turn the leveling legs (front and back) until the top drawer
measures level from left to right.
3. Remove the level and close the top drawer. Check the gap
between the top of the drawer and the countertop. If the gap
measures less than ³⁄₈" (9.5 mm) minimum, turn all four
leveling bolts equally to the left to raise the leveling legs (this
will lower the appliance). Recheck the level.
4. Open both drawers less than midway. Place the level on the
side flange beside the drawers as shown. Turn the front
leveling bolts together in order to either raise or lower the
appliance until the sides of the refrigerator drawers are plumb.
5. Remove the level and close the drawers. Recheck the gap
between the top of the drawer and the countertop. If the gap
measures less than ³⁄₈" (9.5 mm), turn all four leveling bolts
equally to raise the leveling legs (this will lower the appliance).
Recheck the level.
NOTE: Be sure to recheck the horizontal level of the top
drawer.
6. Be sure all four levelers are on the floor and supporting the full
weight of the refrigerator drawers.
Install Custom Overlay Panel

To get the most efficient use from your new refrigerator drawers,
read the “Refrigerator Drawers Use” section.
REFRIGERATOR
DRAWERS USE
Normal Sounds
Your new refrigerator drawers may make sounds that your old
refrigerator drawers didn’t. 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.
■ Your refrigerator drawers are 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 drawers to run longer than
your old ones. 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 drawers. The fan speed may increase as you
open the drawers or add warm food.
■ As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to the
refrigerant flowing through the sealed system tubing.
■ 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 Off
cycle.

Ensuring Proper Air Circulation
In order to ensure proper temperatures, you need to permit airflow
inside the drawers.
Do not block any airflow vents. If the vents are blocked, airflow will
be obstructed and temperature and moisture problems may
occur.
IMPORTANT: To avoid odor transfer and drying out of food, wrap
or cover foods tightly.
Using the Controls
The control panels for both refrigerator drawers are located in the
upper drawer. To view and set the Upper and Lower control panel,
pull out the upper drawer.
IMPORTANT:
■ Wait 24 hours after you turn on the refrigerator drawers before
you put food into the drawers. If you add food before the
drawers have cooled completely, your food may spoil.
NOTE: Adjusting the controls to a lower (colder) setting in one
or both drawers will not cool them any faster.
■ If the temperature is too warm or too cold in the drawers, first
check the air vents to be sure they are not blocked before
adjusting the controls.
■ The preset settings should be correct for normal household
usage. The refrigerator control is set correctly when milk or
juice is as cold as you like.
■ The freezer control is set correctly when ice cream is firm.
■ The actual temperature may differ from the display when a
drawer is open for an extended period of time.

IMPORTANT: After connecting the refrigerator to a water source
or replacing the water filter, fill and discard three full containers of
ice to prepare the water filter for use, before using ice.

■ 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 in the ice storage bin.
Water Filtration System
Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of
unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or

The water filter indicator will help you know when to change your
water filter. The indicator will change from dark to yellow when it is
time to order a new filter. The indicator will then change from

cap counterclockwise to a vertical position and pull the cap
and water filter out through the base grille.
NOTE: There will be water in the filter. Some spilling may
occur.
2. Remove the water filter cap by sliding it off the end of the old
filter. The cap will slide to the left or right.
IMPORTANT: Do not discard the cap. It is part of your
refrigerator. Keep the cap to use with the replacement filter.
3. Take the new water filter out of its packaging and remove the
cover from the O-rings.
4. Slide the filter cap onto the new water filter. See illustration in
Step 2.
5. With the filter cap in the vertical position, insert the new filter
into the base grille until it stops. Rotate the filter cap clockwise
to a horizontal position.

REFRIGERATOR DRAWERS
CARE
Cleaning
The drawers defrost automatically. However, clean both drawers
about once a month to avoid buildup of odors. Wipe up spills
immediately.
To clean your refrigerator drawers:
1. Hand wash, rinse, and dry 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 drawer 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).
2. 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. Dry thoroughly with a soft
cloth. To avoid damage to painted metal exteriors, apply
appliance wax (or auto paste wax) with a clean, soft cloth. Do
not wax plastic parts.
NOTE: To keep your Stainless Steel refrigerator drawers
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 or
drawer gaskets. If unintended contact does occur, clean
plastic part with a sponge and mild detergent in warm water.
Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Use nonflammable cleaner.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
14
Power Interruptions
If the power will be out for 24 hours or less, keep both refrigerator
drawers closed to help food stay cold.
If the power will be out for more than 24 hours, do one of the
following:
■ Place all perishable food in a food locker or cooler with dry
ice.
■ If neither a food locker or cooler is available, consume food if
still cold or throw away perishable food at once.
Vaca ti on Car e
Your refrigerator drawers are equipped with the Holiday Mode
feature. By selecting this feature, the temperature set points
remain unchanged and the interior lights will turn off. For most
efficient refrigerator drawers operation, it is recommended to exit
the Holiday Mode when it is no longer required.
If you choose to leave the refrigerator drawers on while
you’re away:
1. Use up any perishables and freeze other items.
2. Press HOLIDAY MODE touch pad.
3. When you return from vacation, press HOLIDAY MODE touch
pad to return to normal operation.
If you choose to turn the refrigerator drawers off before
you leave:
1. Remove all food from the refrigerator drawers.
2. Turn the Control Panel for the Upper and the Lower drawers to
Off. See “Using the Controls.”
3. Clean refrigerator drawers, wipe and dry them well.
4. Tape rubber or wood blocks to the tops of both drawers to
prop them open far enough for air to get in. This stops odor
and mold from building up.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Try the solutions suggested here first in order to avoid the cost of an unnecessary service call.
Your refrigerator drawers will not operate
■ Is the power supply cord unplugged? Plug into a grounded
3 prong outlet.
■ Has a household fuse blown, or a circuit breaker tripped?
Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. If the problem
continues, call an electrician.
■ Are the refrigerator drawers control set in the Off
position? See “Using the Controls.”
■ Are the refrigerator drawers not cooling? Turn them off
then on again to reset. See “Using the Controls.” If this does
not correct the problem, call for service.
The motor seems to run too much
■ Is the room temperature hotter than normal? The motor will
run longer under warm conditions. At normal room
temperatures, expect your motor to run about 80% of the
time. Under warmer conditions, it will run even more.
■ Has a large amount of food just been added to the
refrigerator drawers? Adding a large amount of food warms
the refrigerator drawers. The motor normally will run longer to
cool the refrigerator drawers back down.
■ Are the drawers opened often? The motor will run longer
when this occurs. Conserve energy by getting all items out at
one time, keeping food organized, and closing the drawer as
soon as possible.
■ Are the controls not set correctly for the surrounding
conditions? See “Using the Controls.”
■ Are the drawers not closed completely? Close the drawers
firmly. If they do not close completely, see “The drawers will
not close completely” later in this section.
■ Are the drawer gaskets not sealed all the way around?
Contact a technician or other qualified person.
The refrigerator drawers seems to make too much noise
The sounds may be normal for your refrigerator drawers. See
“Normal Sounds.”
The divider between the two compartments is warm
The warmth is probably due to normal operation of the
automatic exterior moisture control. If still concerned, call for
service.
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.
WARNING
15
Temperature is too warm
■ Are the air vents blocked in either compartment? This
obstructs cold air movement between the compartments.
Remove any objects from in front of the air vents. See
“Ensuring Proper Air Circulation” for the location of air vents.
■ Are the drawers opened often? The refrigerator drawers will
warm when this occurs. Keep the refrigerator drawers cool by
getting all items out at one time, keeping food organized, and
closing the door as soon as possible.
■ Has a large amount of food just been added to the
refrigerator drawers? Adding a large amount of food warms
the refrigerator drawers. It can take several hours for the
refrigerator drawers to return to the normal temperature.
■ Are the controls set correctly for the surrounding
conditions? See “Using the Controls.”
■ Are the refrigerator drawers not cooling? Turn them off
then on again to reset. See “Using the Controls.” If this does
not correct the problem, call for service.
There is interior moisture buildup
■ Are the air vents blocked in the refrigerator drawers?
Remove any objects from in front of the air vents. See
“Ensuring Proper Air Circulation” for the location of air vents.
■ Are the drawers opened often? Avoid humidity buildup by
getting all items out at one time, keeping food organized, and
closing the drawer as soon as possible.
■ Is the room humid? It is normal for moisture to build up
inside the refrigerator drawers when the room air is humid.
■ Is the food packaged correctly? Check that all food is
securely wrapped. Dry damp food containers before placing in
the refrigerator drawers.
■ Are the controls set correctly for the surrounding
conditions? See “Using the Controls.”
The drawers will not close completely
■ Are food packages blocking the drawer open? Rearrange
containers so that they fit more tightly and take up less space.
The drawers are difficult to open
■ Are the gaskets dirty or sticky? Clean gaskets and the
surface that they touch. Rub a thin coat of paraffin wax on the
gaskets following cleaning.
