REFRIGERATOR SAFETY

Your safety and the safety of others are very important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety

messages.

This is the safety alert symbol.
This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.

All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word "DANGER" or "WARNING."

These words mean:

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately

follow instructions.

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow
instructions.

All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can
happen if the instructions are not followed.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury when using your refrigerator, follow these basic precautions:

mPlug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
mDo not remove ground prong.

mDo not use an adapter.

• Do not use an extension cord.
mDisconnect power before servicing.

mReplace all parts and panels before operating.
mRemove 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

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.

BEFORE USE

Remove the Packaging Clean Before Using

If the ice storage bin is located on the door, remove the
temporary shield from underneath the ice storage bin. See
"Ice Maker and Storage Bin."

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.

REFRIGERATOR USE

E_ectrical Shock Hazard

P_ug 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.

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 she_ves

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.

If you need to turn the power to your refrigerator On or Off, you
must remove the top grille assembly to access the power switch.
Turn the power to the refrigerator Off when cleaning your
refrigerator or changing light bulbs.

To Remove Top Grille:

1. Grasp both ends of the top grille.

2. Push the top grille straight up, then pull straight out. Lay the
grille on a soft surface.

B

Explosion Hazard

Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as
gasoline, away from refrigerator.

Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

A. Top grille

B. Cabinet side trims

To Replace Top Grille:

1. Insert top grille hooks (located on the back of the top grille)

onto mounting bolts on the side trim.

2. Pull grille down slightly to lock into place.

Turn Power On or Off:

1. Remove top grille.

2. Press power switch to the On or Off position.

3. Replace top grille.

IMPORTANT:BesurethepowerswitchissettotheOnposition
aftercleaningrefrigeratororchanginglightbulbs.

A. Power switch

Read all directions before you begin.
IMPORTANT:

• When your refrigerator was installed, the water connection
from the water source should have been connected to your
refrigerator. If your refrigerator is not connected to a water
source, see "Connect to Water Line" in the Installation
Instructions. If you have any questions about your water
connection, see "Troubleshooting" or call a licensed, qualified
plumber.

• If you turn the refrigerator on before the water line is
connected, turn the ice maker OFF.See "Ice Maker and

Storage Bin."

• All installations must meet local plumbing code requirements.

Water Pressure

A cold water supply with water pressure 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, see
"Troubleshooting" or 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 psi (276 kPa).

If the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system is less than
40 psi (276 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.

Please read before using the water system.
Immediately after installation, follow the steps below to make

sure that the water system is properly cleaned.

1. Open the freezer door and turn off the ice maker. For Style 1,
lift up the wire shutoff arm as shown. For Style 2, move the
switch to the OFF (right) setting as shown. The On/Off switch
is located on the top right side of the freezer compartment.

Style 1 - Non-Dispenser Models

Style 2 - Dispenser Models

NOTE: Ifyour model has a base grille filter system, make sure the
base grille filter is properly installed and the cap is in the
horizontal position.

Do not use with water that is microbiologicaiIy unsafe or of
unknown qua(ity without adequate disinfection before or

I

after the system.

2.

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) for an additional 2 minutes.
This will flush air from the filter and water dispensing system.
Additional flushing may be required in some households.

NOTE: As air is cleared from the system, water may spurt out
of the dispenser.

3.

Open the freezer door and turn on the ice maker. For Style 1,
lower the wire shutoff arm. For Style 2, move the switch to
the ON (left) position.

• Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice.

• Discard the first three batches of ice produced.

• Depending on your model, you may want to select the

maximum ice feature to increase the production of ice.

REFRIGERATO R FEATURES

Remove and Replace the Ingredient Care Center Cover

_mportant information to know about glass she_ves

and covel's:

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.

The shelves in your refrigerator are adjustable to meet your
individual storage needs.

Storing similar food items together in your refrigerator and
adjusting the shelves to fit different heights of items will make
finding the exact item you want easier. It will also reduce the
amount of time the refrigerator door is open, and help save

energy.

Shelves and Shelf Frames

To remove and replace a shelf/frame:

1. Remove the shelf/frame by tilting it up at the front and lifting it
out of the shelf supports. Pull shelf straight out.

2. Replace the shelf/frame by guiding the rear shelf hooks into
the shelf supports. Tilt the front of the shelf up until the rear
shelf hooks drop into the shelf supports.

3. Lower the front of the shelf and check to make sure that the
shelf is securely in position.

Remove food from Ingredient Care Center cover. Pull drawer
out about 4" (10.16 cm). Reach under the glass shelf with
both hands and lift gently upward until back of shelf is free.
Tilt the shelf at an angle and remove the shelf from the
refrigerator. Be sure not to bump the glass.

2. Replace the cover by holding the glass shelf firmly with both
hands, tilt the shelf at an angle and position it above the
support rails. Place shelf gently on support rails on side wall.

Meat Storage Guide

Store most meat in original wrapping as long as it is airtight and
moisture-proof. Rewrap if necessary. See the following chart for

storage times. When storing meat longer than the times given,
freeze the meat.

Fresh fish or shellfish .................. use same day as purchased

Chicken, ground beef, variety meat (liver, etc.) ......... 1-2 days

Cold cuts, steaks/roasts ........................................... 3-5 days

Cured meats ............................................................ 7-10 days

Leftovers - Cover leftovers with plastic wrap, aluminum foil, or
plastic containers with tight lids.

The control for the Ingredient Care Center adjusts the storage
temperature of the pan. Cold air flows into the pan through the air

Frozen Food Storage Guide

Storage times will vary according to the quality and type of food,
the type of packaging or wrap used (should be airtight and
moisture-proof), and the storage temperature. Ice crystals inside
a sealed package are normal. This simply means that moisture in
the food and air inside the package have condensed, creating ice
crystals.

Put no more unfrozen food into the freezer than will freeze within
24 hours (no more than 2 to 3 Ibs of food per cubic foot

[907 to 1,350 g per 28 L] of freezer space). Leave enough space
in the freezer for air to circulate around packages. Be sure to
leave enough room for the door to close tightly.

For more information on preparing food for freezing, check a
freezer guide or reliable cookbook.

If the power will be out for 24 hours or less, keep the door or
doors closed (depending on your model) to help food stay cold

and frozen.
If the power will be out for more than 24 hours, do one of the

following:

• Remove all frozen food and store it in a frozen food locker.

• Place 2 Ibs (907 g) of dry ice in the freezer for every cubic foot
(28 L) of freezer space. This will keep the food frozen for 2 to
4 days.

• If neither a food locker nor dry ice is available, consume or
can perishable food at once.

REMEMBER: A full freezer stays cold longer than a partially filled
one. A freezer full of meat stays cold longer than a freezer full of
baked goods. If you see that food contains ice crystals, it may be
refrozen, although the quality and flavor may be affected. If the
condition of the food is poor, dispose of it.

Your refrigerator is equipped with the Holiday Mode feature,
which is designed for the traveler who wishes to turn off the lights
