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." Ifyou 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:

• Takeoff the doors.

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

When Moving "{our 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."

• 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. 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.

}!::,,Iect" c_?_I °

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 1/2" (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 a 23/4"(7.0 cm) minimum space between the refrigerator and wall to allow 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" (1.25 cm)

2a/4" (7.0 cm)

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 Cooling OFF, and then disconnect the

refrigerator from the electrical source. When you are finished, reconnect the refrigerator to the electrical source and turn Cooling ON. See "Using the Controls."

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 • 1/4"Nut driver

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

IM PORTANT:

• All installations must meet local plumbing code requirements.

• Do not use a piercing-type or 3Ae"(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.

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). 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 OFF.

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 1/2"to 11/4"(12.7 mm to 31.8 mm) 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.

Determine the length of copper tubing you need. Measure from the connection on the rear of the 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 V4"hole in the cold water pipe you have selected.

Your refrigerator has two adjustable, front leveling screws - one on each side of the refrigerator base. If your refrigerator seems unsteady or you want the door to close easier, use the instructions below.

1. Remove the base grille. Grasp the grille firmly and pull it toward you.

2. Raise or lower the cabinet. Using a 1/4"hex driver, turn the leveling screw on each side to

raise or lower that side of the refrigerator. NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the

refrigerator takes some weight off the leveling screws. This makes it easier to turn the screws. It may take several turns of the leveling screw to adjust the tilt of the refrigerator.

• To raise, turn the leveling screw clockwise.

• To lower, turn the leveling screw counterclockwise.

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.

A. Rear roller adjustment screw B. Levering screw

NOTE: Your refrigerator may have a rear roller adjustment screw on each side. To raise or lower the rear of the

refrigerator, use a 3/8"hex driver to turn the screws.

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 leveling screws clockwise. It may take several

more turns, and you should turn both screws the same amount.

Dispense Ice and Water

Cut Hazard

Use a sturdy glass when dispensing ice. Failure to do so can result in cuts.

The dispenser will dispense either water or cubed ice. The Dispense Water control allows you to fill containers that

will not fit within the dispenser area, such as sport bottles.

Select either water or cubed ice by touching "Water" or "Ice" on the control panel. The light above the control indicates your

selection.

Remember

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 asoftened water supply cannot be avoided,

make sure the water softener is operating properly and is well maintained.

Do not use anything sharp to break up the ice in the bin. This can cause damage to the ice bin and dispenser mechanism.

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

IM PORTANT:

After connecting the refrigerator to a water source, flush the water system. Press the Water touch pad on the control panel.

Use a sturdy container to depress and hold the dispenser lever for 5 seconds, then release it for 5 seconds. Repeat until water begins to flow. Once water begins to flow, continue depressing and releasing the dispenser lever (5 seconds on,

5 seconds off) for an additional 2 minutes. This will flush air from the filter and water dispensing system. Additional flushing may be required in some households. As air is cleared from the system, water may spurt out of the dispenser.

NOTE: After 5 minutes of continuous dispensing, the dispenser will stop dispensing water to avoid flooding. To continue dispensing, remove the container and press the dispensing lever again.

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

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

Press a sturdy container against the dispenser lever. IMPORTANT: You do not need to apply a lot of pressure to the

lever in order to activate the dispenser. Pressing hard will not make the water or ice dispense faster or in greater quantities.

3. Remove the container to stop dispensing.
