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.

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.

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.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Unpack the Refrigerator

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move and install refrigerator.

Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

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.

When Moving Your Refrigerator: Your refrigerator is heavy. When moving the refrigerator for

cleaning or service, be sure to cover the floor with cardboard or hardboard to avoid floor damage. 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.

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.

C. Release lever

NOTE: This refrigerator is intended for use in a location where the temperature ranges from a minimum of 55°F (13°C) to a maximum of

110°F (43°C). The preferred room temperature range for optimum performance, which reduces electricity usage and provides superior cooling, is between 60°F (15°C) and 90°F (32°C). It is recommended

that you do not install the refrigerator near a heat source, such as an oven or radiator.

1/2" (1.25 cm)

3s/4'' (9.5 cm)

Electrical Requirements

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 and approved accessories 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 OFF Cooling, and then disconnect the

refrigerator from the electrical source. When you have finished, reconnect the refrigerator to the electrical source and turn ON Cooling. See "Using the Control(s)."

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 areverse osmosis system. Remove the water filter. See "Water Filtration System."

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

Connect the Water Supply

Read all directions before you begin. IMPORTANT:

• Plumbing shall be installed in accordance with the International Plumbing Code and any local codes and ordinances.

The gray water tubing on the back of the refrigerator (which is used to connect to the household water line) is a PEX (cross-linked polyethylene) tube. 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 W10267701 RP (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/le"and 1/2"open-end wrenches or two adjustable wrenches

• 1/4"nut driver

NOTE: Do not use a piercing-type or ¾e" (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 shutoff valve or the equivalent, served by a 1/2" 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.

_/ n

2. Create a service loop with the copper tubing. Avoid kinks when coiling the copper tubing. Secure copper tubing to

Press ICE/WATER to toggle through the following choices in a continuous loop:

• Water (default) - Dispenses water

• Cubed - Dispenses cubed ice.

• Crushed - Dispenses crushed ice NOTES:

• The word "ICE" appears on the display screen when either

crushed or cubed ice is selected.

For crushed ice, cubes are crushed before being dispensed.

This may cause a slight delay when dispensing crushed ice.

Noise from the ice crusher is normal, and pieces of ice may

vary in size.

When changing from crushed to cubed, a few ounces of crushed ice will be dispensed along with the first cubes.

Water Crushed Cubed

The Water Dispenser

IM PORTANT:

• Dispense at least 1 qt (1 L) of water every week to maintain a fresh supply.

• If the flow of water from the dispenser decreases, it could be caused by low water pressure.

With the water filter removed, dispense 1 cup (237 mL) of water. If 1 cup (237 mL) of water is dispensed in 8 seconds or less, the water pressure to the refrigerator meets the minimum requirement.

If it takes longer than 8 seconds to dispense 1 cup (237 mL) of water, the water pressure to the refrigerator is lower than recommended. See "Water Supply Requirements" and "Troubleshooting" for suggestions.

To Dispense Water - Standard:

1. Select water.

2. Press a sturdy glass against the dispenser paddle.

3. Remove the glass to stop dispensing.

To Dispense Water - Measured Fill: Measured Fill allows you to dispense a specified amount of water

with the touch of a few buttons. NOTE: The amount of water you select will be dispensed. Make

sure the container is empty and that it can hold the entire volume. If ice is in the container, you may need to adjust your selection.

1. Press MEASURED FILL to turn the feature on. When the feature is on, the Measured Fill screen appears on the display.

Default, minimum, and maximum volumes are listed in the following chart:

volume as desired. The LOCK control increases the volume, and the OPTIONS control lowers the volume.

NOTES:

When increasing or decreasing the dispense volumes, if an adjustment button (-/+) is held for approximately

10 seconds or longer the control may stop responding. Release the button for approximately 2 seconds and then

continue making the adjustment.

Most coffee cups (commonly 4 to 6 oz [118 to 177 mL] per

cup) are not the same size as a measuring cup (8 oz

[237 mL]). You may need to adjust the volume to avoid

unintentionally overfilling coffee cups.

Dispense water. NOTE: While dispensing water, the digital display will count

down how much water remains to be dispensed, according to the volume you selected. The flow of water will automatically

stop once the desired volume has been dispensed.

• Press a sturdy glass against the dispenser paddle. OR

• Place the glass below the water dispenser and press

MEASURED FILL, under Dispense, for hands-free

dispensing.

To stop dispensing before the selected volume has been dispensed, remove the glass from the dispenser lever OR

press the MEASURED FILL button a second time. NOTE: If you stop dispensing before the desired volume has

been dispensed, the digital display will continue to show how much water remains to be dispensed. The display will turn off

after 1 minute of inactivity.

To select a new volume or start dispensing the same volume again, you must first finish dispensing the selected volume, or

turn off the Measured Fillfeature (either by waiting 1 minute so it will automatically turn off or by pressing ICE MODE to manually turn it off) and then turn it back on.

The Ice Dispenser

IMPORTANT:

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

• Ice travels from the ice storage bin through the dispenser chute to the dispenser. To turn off the ice maker, see "Ice Maker and Storage Bin."

• 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:

1. Select the desired type of ice. To switch between cubed ice and crushed ice, press ICE/WATER.

Cut Hazard

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

Press a sturdy glass against the dispenser paddle. Hold the glass close to the dispenser opening so ice does not fall outside of the glass.

IMPORTANT: You do not need to apply a lot of pressure to the paddle to activate the ice dispenser. Pressing hard will not

make the ice dispense faster or in greater quantities.

3. Remove the glass to stop dispensing.

NOTE: Ice may continue to dispense for several seconds after removing the glass from the dispenser paddle. The dispenser may continue to make noise for a few seconds after dispensing.

The Dispenser Drip Tray

There is an insert in the dispenser drip tray. The insert can be removed from the drip tray to carry to the sink to empty or clean.

• Push down on the rear edge of the insert to tilt up the front edge for easy removal.

The DispenserLock

The dispenser can be disabled for easy cleaning or to avoid unintentional dispensing by small children and pets.

NOTE: The lock feature does not shut off power to the refrigerator, to the ice maker, or to the dispenser light. It simply deactivates the controls and dispenser levers. To turn off the ice maker, see "Ice

Maker and Storage Bin."

• Press and hold LOCK for 3 seconds to lock the dispenser.

• Press and hold LOCK for 3 seconds to unlock the dispenser. The display screen indicates when the dispenser is locked.

LOCKED UNLOCKED

Ice Mal<er and Ice Storage Bin

(on some models)

IMPORTANT: To avoid low ice production and poor quality ice, flush the water system before turning on the ice maker. See

"Water Dispenser."

• Following installation, allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the first three batches of ice produced.

Allow 2 to 3 days to fill the ice storage bin. 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. If the ice in the storage bin clumps together, break up ice

using a plastic utensil and discard. Do not use anything sharp to break up the ice. This can cause damage to the ice bin and the dispenser mechanism.

• Do not store anything in the ice storage bin.
