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.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Unpack the Refrigerator

WARNING

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:

■ Take off the doors.

■ Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily

climb inside.

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.

Remove packaging materials. 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.”

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.

Location Requirements

Electrical Requirements

WARNING

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 ¹⁄₂" (1.25 cm) of space on each side and at the top. Allow for 1" (2.54 cm) of space 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 2" (5.08 cm) minimum space on each side (depending on your model) to allow the doors to swing open.

" (1.25 cm)

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.

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 the control (Thermostat, Refrigerator or Freezer Control depending on the model) to OFF and then disconnect the refrigerator from the electrical source. When you are finished, reconnect the refrigerator to the electrical source and reset the control (Thermostat, Refrigerator or Freezer Control depending on the model) to the desired setting. See “Using the Controls.”

2" (5.08 cm)

NOTES:

■ It is recommended that you do not install the refrigerator near

an oven, radiator, or other heat source. Do not install in a location where the temperature will fall below 55°F (13°C).

■ Normal minimum cabinet cut-out width required for product

installation is 36" (91.44 cm). However, if the product is placed against an extended wall and the ability to remove the crisper pans is desired, an additional 18" (45.72 cm) of cabinet width is required, so a total cabinet opening width of 54" (137.16 cm) is recommended.

Water Supply Requirements

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

■ ⁷⁄₁₆" and ¹⁄₂" Open-end or two

adjustable wrenches

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.

IMPORTANT:

■ 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.

■ ¹⁄₄" Nut driver

■ ¹⁄₄" Drill bit

■ Cordless drill

Water Pressure

A cold water supply with water pressure of 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, 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 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.

Connect Water Supply

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

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" (6.35 mm) 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 the 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 the 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

Style 1

1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

2. Remove and discard the plastic part that is attached to the

inlet of the water valve.

3. Attach the copper tube to the valve inlet using a compression

nut and sleeve as shown. Tighten the compression nut. Do not overtighten.

4. 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.

5. Turn shutoff valve ON.

6. Check for leaks. Tighten any connections (including

connections at the valve) or nuts that leak.

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" (1.27 cm) to 1¹⁄₄" (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 rear corner 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" (6.35 mm) hole in the cold

water pipe you have selected.

When the backlight is off, the first press of a control button will only reactivate the backlight, without changing any settings. Within 30 seconds after the backlight has been reactivated, additional presses of control buttons will change the applicable settings.

Convertible Drawer Temperature Control

The control can be adjusted to properly chill meats or vegetables. The air inside the pan is cooled to avoid “spot” freezing and can be set to keep meats at the National Livestock and Meat Board recommended storage temperatures of 28° to 32°F (-2° to 0°C). The convertible vegetable/meat drawer control comes preset at the lowest meat setting.

To store meat:

Set the control to one of the three MEAT settings to store meat at its optimal storage temperature.

To store vegetables:

Set the control to VEG to store vegetables at their optimal storage temperatures.

NOTE: If food starts to freeze, move the control to the left (less cold). Remember to wait 24 hours between adjustments.

Crisper Humidity Control

(on some models)

You can control the amount of humidity in the moisture-sealed crisper. Adjust the control to any setting between LOW and HIGH.

LOW (open) for best storage of fruits and vegetables with skins. HIGH (closed) for best storage of fresh, leafy vegetables.

Chilled Door Bin

(on some models)

Cool air from the freezer is directed to the refrigerator door bin directly beneath the vents.

NOTE: The dairy compartment and can rack are not associated with the Chilled Door Bin feature.

Chilled Door Bin Control

The chilled door bin control is located on the left-hand side of the refrigerator compartment.

Water and Ice Dispensers

(on some models)

Depending on your model, you may have one or more of the following options: the ability to select either crushed or cubed ice, a special light that turns on when you use the dispenser, or a lock option to avoid unintentional dispensing.

IMPORTANT: After connecting the refrigerator to a water source or replacing the water filter, flush the water system. Use a sturdy container to depress and hold the water 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) until a total of 3 gal. (12 L) has been dispensed. This will flush air from the filter and water dispensing system, and prepare the water filter for use. Additional flushing may be required in some households. As air is cleared from the system, water may spurt out of the dispenser.

NOTES:

■ The dispensing system will not operate when the freezer door

is open.

■ Allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to cool down and chill

water.

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

first three batches of ice produced.

■ The display screen on the dispenser control panel has a

backlight, which will turn off automatically when the control buttons have not been used for 30 seconds or more. When the backlight is off, the first press of a control button will only reactivate the backlight, without changing any settings. Within 30 seconds after the backlight has been reactivated, additional presses of control buttons will change the applicable settings.

The Water Dispenser

IMPORTANT: Dispense enough water every week to maintain a

fresh supply.

To Dis pe ns e Wat er :

1. Press a sturdy glass against the water dispenser lever.

2. Remove the glass to stop dispensing.

The Ice Dispenser

Ice dispenses from the ice maker storage bin in the freezer when the dispenser lever is pressed. The dispensing system will not operate when the freezer door is open. To turn off the ice maker, see “Ice Maker and Storage Bin.”

Your ice maker can produce both crushed and cubed ice. Before dispensing ice, select which type of ice you prefer by pressing the ICE button.

A. Chilled door bin control

■ Slide the door chill control to the left to reduce the flow of cold

air to the bin and make it less cold.

■ Slide the door chill control to the right to increase the flow of

cold air to the bin and make it colder.

CRUSHED CUBED

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.

To Dispense Ice:

1. Press the button to select the desired type of ice.

WARNING

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

2. Press a sturdy glass against the ice dispenser lever. 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 lever in order 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 up to 10 seconds

after removing the glass from the lever. The dispenser may continue to make noise for a few seconds after dispensing.

The Dispenser Light (on some models)

When you use the dispenser, the light will automatically turn on. If you want the light to be on continuously, you may choose either ON or DIM. The display screen indicates which mode is selected.

Turning the Ice Maker On/Off

The On/Off switch is located on the top right-hand side of the freezer compartment.

■ To turn on the ice maker, slide the control to the ON (left)

position.

■ To manually turn off the ice maker, slide the control to the OFF

(right) position.

NOTE: Your ice maker has an automatic shutoff. The ice maker sensors will automatically stop ice production, but the control will remain in the ON (left) position.

REMEMBER:

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

first three batches of ice produced.

■ 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.

■ Do not use anything sharp to break up the ice in the storage

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

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

bin.

Removing and Replacing Ice Storage Bin

2. Replace the storage bin on the door and push down to make

sure it is securely in place.

Water Filtration System

(on some models)

REFRIGERATOR CARE

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

Water Filter Status Light (on some models)

The water filter status light will help you know when to change your water filter.

■ When the water filter status display changes from “GOOD” to

“ORDER,” this tells you that it is almost time to change the water filter cartridge.

■ Replace the water filter cartridge when the water filter status

display changes to “REPLACE.”

If water flow to your water dispenser or ice maker decreases noticeably, change the filter sooner. The filter should be replaced at least every 6 months, depending on your water quality and usage.

■ After changing the water filter, reset the status light by

pressing and holding the FILTER button for 3 seconds. The status light will change from “REPLACE” to “GOOD” when the system is reset.

Changing the Water Filter

4. Align the ridge on the cap with the arrow on the new filter and turn the cap until it snaps into place.

NOTE: You can run the dispenser without a filter. Your water will not be filtered. Simply insert the cap all of the way into the base grille and rotate the cap until it is firmly in place.

5. Remove the covers from the O-rings. Be sure the O-rings are still in place after the covers are removed.

6. Push the filter into the base grille. The eject button will pop back out when the filter is fully engaged.

7. Flush the water system. See “Water and Ice Dispensers.”

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 buildup of odors. Wipe up spills immediately.

IMPORTANT: Because air circulates between both sections, any odors formed in one section will transfer to the other. You must thoroughly clean both sections to eliminate odors. To avoid odor transfer and drying out of food, wrap or cover foods tightly.

To Clean Your Refrigerator:

NOTE: 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.

1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

2. 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.

3. Wash stainless steel and painted metal exteriors with a clean

sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water.

WARNING

Broken Glass Hazard Do not hit refrigerator glass doors. Protect glass surface and edges during installation or

removal of doors. Failure to do so can result in serious eye injury or

minor cuts.

4. On some models, wash glass door panels with a clean

sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water. NOTE: Do not hit the glass with pots, pans, furniture, toys, or

other objects. Scratching, hitting, jarring or stressing the glass may weaken its structure, causing an increased likelihood of breakage at a later date.

5. There is no need for routine condenser cleaning in normal

home operating environments. If the environment is particularly greasy or dusty, or there is significant pet traffic in the home, the condenser should be cleaned every 2 to 3 months to ensure maximum efficiency.

If you need to clean the condenser:

■ Remove the base grille. See the “Door Removal”

instructions, either in the User Instructions or the separate instruction sheet provided with your refrigerator.

Ice and Water

The ice maker is not producing ice or not enough ice

■ Refrigerator connected to a water supply and the supply

shutoff valve turned on? Connect refrigerator to water supply and turn water shutoff valve fully open.

■ Kink in the water source line? A kink in the line can reduce

water flow. Straighten the water source line.

■ Ice maker turned on? Make sure wire shutoff arm or switch

(depending on model) is in the ON position.

■ New installation? Wait 24 hours after ice maker installation

for ice production to begin. Wait 72 hours for full ice production.

■ Large amount of ice recently removed? Allow 24 hours for

ice maker to produce more ice.

■ Ice cube jammed in the ice maker ejector arm?

Remove ice from the ejector arm with a plastic utensil. (This does not apply to models with the ice maker mounted at the top of the freezer door.)

■ Reverse osmosis water filtration system connected to

your cold water supply? This can decrease water pressure. See “Water Supply Requirements.”

The ice cubes are hollow or small

NOTE: This is an indication of low water pressure.

■ Water shutoff valve not fully open? Turn the water shutoff

valve fully open.

■ Kink in the water source line? A kink in the line can reduce

water flow. Straighten the water source line.

■ Reverse osmosis water filtration system connected to

your cold water supply? This can decrease water pressure. See “Water Supply Requirements.”

■ Questions remain regarding water pressure? Call a

licensed, qualified plumber.

Off-taste, odor or gray color in the ice

■ New plumbing connections? New plumbing connections

can cause discolored or off-flavored ice.

■ Ice stored too long? Discard ice. Wash ice bin. Allow

24 hours for ice maker to make new ice.

■ Odor transfer from food? Use airtight, moisture-proof

packaging to store food.

■ Are there minerals (such as sulfur) in the water? A water

filter may need to be installed to remove the minerals.

■ Is there a water filter installed on the refrigerator? Gray or

dark discoloration in ice indicates that the water filtration system needs additional flushing.

The ice dispenser will not operate properly

The water dispenser will not operate properly

■ Freezer door closed completely? Close the door firmly. If it

does not close completely, see “The doors will not close completely.”

■ Ice bin installed correctly? Be sure the ice bin is firmly in

position.

■ New installation? Wait 24 hours after ice maker installation

for ice production to begin. Wait 72 hours for full ice production.

■ Ice clogged in the ice storage bin or delivery chute?

Remove clogged ice, using a plastic utensil if necessary. Clean chute and bottom of storage bin using a warm moist cloth, and dry both thoroughly. To avoid clogging and maintain a fresh supply of ice, empty the storage bin and clean both the bin and delivery chute every two weeks.

■ Has the wrong ice been added to the bin? Use only cubes

produced by the current ice maker.

■ Has the ice melted around the auger (metal spiral) in the

ice bin? Empty the ice container. Use warm water to melt the ice if necessary.

WARNING

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

■ Freezer door closed completely? Close the door firmly. If it

does not close completely, see “The doors will not close completely.”

■ Refrigerator connected to a water supply and the supply

shutoff valve turned on? Connect refrigerator to water supply and turn water shutoff valve fully open.

■ Is the water pressure at least 30 psi (207 kPa)? The water

pressure to the home determines the flow from the dispenser. See “Water Supply Requirements.”

■ Kink in the home water source line? Straighten the water

source line.

■ New installation? Flush and fill the water system.

■ Water filter installed on the refrigerator? The filter may be

clogged or incorrectly installed.

■ Is a reverse osmosis water filtration system connected to

your cold water supply? See “Water Supply Requirements.”

Water is leaking from the dispenser

NOTE: One or two drops of water after dispensing is normal.

■ Glass not being held under the dispenser long enough?

Hold the glass under the dispenser for 2 to 3 seconds after releasing the dispenser lever/pad.

■ New installation? Flush the water system. See “Prepare the

Water System” or “Water and Ice Dispensers.”

■ Recently changed water filter? Flush the water system. See

“Prepare the Water System” or “Water and Ice Dispensers.”

The dispenser water is not cool enough (on some models)

■ Is the ice dispenser stalling while dispensing “crushed”

ice? Change the ice button from “crushed” to “cubed.” If cubed ice dispenses correctly, depress the button for “crushed” ice and begin dispensing again.

■ Has the dispenser arm been held in too long? Ice will stop

dispensing when the arm is held in too long. Wait 3 minutes for dispenser motor to reset before using again.
