Under-Shelf Prep Zone

A slide-out pan utilizes empty space beneath the shelf to create a prep zone ideal for dough, desserts, or marinating meats. Slideout pan is ovenand dishwasher-safe, and easily transitions from fridge to oven so you can stay in the creative flow.

Slide-Away Split Shelf

This shelf features a versatile design that allows three-quarters of the shelf to retract to accommodate taller items, up to 16¾" (42.5 cm). This flexibility helps maximize storage space and optimize organization.

FreshSeal™ Crispers

These upgraded crisper drawers use a gasket seal to maintain the ideal temperature and humidity levels to keep produce fresh longer. These drawers also feature premium soft-close glides that provide the best extension for easy access and maximum visibility to your produce items.

Full-Extension Self-Close Custom TemperatureControlled Pantry Drawer

Electrical Requirements

WARNING

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.

If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified person. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either the plug or connector end.

Recommended Grounding Method

A 115 V, 60 Hz, AC only 15 A or 20 A fused, grounded electrical supply is required. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only your refrigerator and approved accessories

be provided. Use an outlet that cannot be turned off by a switch. Do not use an extension cord.

IMPORTANT: If this product is connected to a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) protected outlet, nuisance tripping of the power supply may occur, resulting in loss of cooling. Food quality and flavor may be affected. If nuisance tripping has occurred, and if the condition of the food appears poor, dispose of it.

NOTE: Before performing any type of installation or cleaning, turn off cooling, then disconnect the refrigerator from the electrical source. When you have finished, reconnect the refrigerator to

the electrical source and turn on cooling. See the “Using the Controls” section.

Water Supply Requirements

A cold water supply with water pressure between 35 and 120 psi (241 and 827 kPa) is required to operate the water dispenser and ice maker. If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, qualified plumber.

NOTE: If the water pressure is less than what is required, the flow of water from the water dispenser could decrease or ice cubes could be hollow or irregular shaped.

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).

■■ 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 use. The tank capacity could be too small to keep up with the requirements of the refrigerator.

NOTE: Faucet-mounted reverse osmosis systems are not recommended.

■■ 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 the “Water Filtration System” section.

If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, qualified plumber.

Connect the Water Supply

Read all directions before you begin.

IMPORTANT:

■■ Connect to potable water supply only.

Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system. Systems certified for cyst reduction may be used on disinfected waters that may contain filterable cysts.

■■ Plumbing must be installed in accordance with the International Plumbing Code and any local codes and ordinances.

■■ Copper and PEX tubing connections from the household water line to the refrigerator are acceptable and will help avoid off-taste or odor in your ice or water. Check for leaks.

If PEX tubing is used instead of copper, we recommend the following Part Numbers: W10505928RP (7 ft [2.14 m] jacketed PEX), 8212547RP (5 ft [1.52 m] PEX), or W10267701RP

(25 ft [7.62 m] PEX).

■■ Install tubing only in areas where temperatures will remain above freezing.

Tools Needed:

Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation. ■■ Flat-blade screwdriver

■■ 7/16" and 1/2" open-end wrenches or two adjustable wrenches

■■ 1/4" nut driver

NOTE: Do not use a piercing-type or 3/16" (4.76 mm) saddle valve which reduces water flow and clogs easier.

Connect to Water Line

IMPORTANT: If you turn the refrigerator on before the water is connected, turn off the ice maker.

1.Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

2.Turn off main water supply. Turn on nearest faucet long enough to clear line of water.

3.Use a quarter-turn shut-off valve or the equivalent, served by a 1/2" (12.7 mm) household supply line.

NOTE: To allow sufficient water flow to the refrigerator, a minimum 1/2" (12.7 mm) size household supply line is recommended.

The Ice Dispenser

IMPORTANT:

■■ If the ice cubes are hollow or have an irregular shape, it could be because of low water pressure. See the “Water Supply Requirements” section.

■■ Ice travels from the ice storage bin through the dispenser chute to the dispenser. To turn off the ice maker, see the “Ice Maker and Storage Bin” section.

■■ The dispenser may continue to make noise and ice may continue to dispense for several seconds after releasing the dispenser button or paddle.

To Clean the Ice Dispenser Chute:

Humidity causes ice to naturally clump together. Ice particles can build up until the ice dispenser chute becomes blocked.

If ice is not dispensed regularly, it may be necessary to empty the ice storage bin and clean the ice delivery chute, the ice storage bin, and the area beneath the storage bin every 2 weeks.

■■ If necessary, remove the ice clogging the storage bin and delivery chute using a plastic utensil.

■■ Clean the ice delivery chute and the bottom of the ice storage bin using a warm, damp cloth, and then dry thoroughly.

To Dispense Ice:
