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:

• Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet. • Use nonflammable cleaner.

• Do not remove ground prong.

• Do not use an adapter. mDo not use an extension cord.

• Disconnect power before servicing. mReplace all parts and panels before operating.

mRemove doors from your old refrigerator.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

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

mUse two or more people to move and install refrigerator. ,,,Disconnect power before installing ice maker (on ice maker

kit ready models only).

mUse a sturdy glass when dispensing ice or water (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.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

i_iii_i_iii:x__;!!_:_:_iiii<t!i:!ii_ili!!_i_iiii:_i!,jii!t_;iil;i!_!!iS!!t_;_i:o i_i:¸

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

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: Do not remove the white foam air return insert from behind the control panel on the ceiling of the refrigerator. If the

insert is removed, ice may migrate down from the freezer and cause icicles to form.

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

for cleaning or service, be sure to protect the floor. Always pulI the refrigerator straight out when moving it.

Do not wiggle or "walk" the refrigerator when trying to move it, as floor damage could occur.

Explosion Hazard

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

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

Toensure proper ventilation for your refrigerator, allow for a V2" (1.25 cm) space on each side and at the top. When installing your

refrigerator next to a fixed wall, leave 2" (5.08 cm) minimum clearance on each side (some models require more) to allow for the door to swing open. If your refrigerator has an ice maker, allow extra space at the back for the water line connections.

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).

Clean Before Using

After you remove all of the package materials, clean the inside of your refrigerator before using it. See the cleaning instructions in

"Refrigerator Care."

_mportant 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.

Pmugintoagrounded3 prong outleto

Do not remove ground prong. Do not use an adapter.

Do not use an extension cord. FaiJure to follow these }nstructions can resumt }n 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.

Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation. Read and follow the instructions provided with any tools listed

here.

IMPORTANT:

• If you turn the refrigerator on before the water line is connected, turn the ice maker OFR

• 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.

TOOLS NEEDED: Flat-blade screwdriver, 7A6"and 1/2"open-end

wrenches or two adjustable wrenches, 1/4"nut driver and drill bit, hand drill or electric drill (properly grounded).

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.

Water Pressure

A cold water supply with water pressure of between 30 and 120 psi (207 - 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 30 and 120 psi (207 - 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 - 414 kPa).

If the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system is less than 40 to 60 psi (276 - 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 cartridge, it may further reduce the water pressure when used in conjunction with a

reverse osmosis system. Remove the water filter cartridge. 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 OFR

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'' (1.25 cm to 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.

Determine the length of copper tubing you need. Measure from the connection on the lower left rear 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.

Using a grounded drill, drill a 1/4"hole in the cold water pipe you have selected.

Door Closing

Your refrigerator has two front adjustable rollers - one on the right and one on the left. Ifyour refrigerator seems unsteady or you

want the doors to close easier, adjust the refrigerator's tilt using

the instructions below.

5. Open both doors again and check to make sure that they close as easily as you like. If not, tilt the refrigerator slightly

more to the rear by turning both leveling screws to the right. It may take several more turns, and you should turn both leveling screws the same amount.

6. Replace the base grille.

Align Doors

If the space between your doors looks uneven, you can adjust it using the instructions below:

1. Pry off the top hinge cover.

2. Loosen the top hinge screws using a 5/16"socket or wrench.

3. Have someone hold the door in place or put a spacer between the doors while you tighten the top hinge screws.

4. Replace the top hinge cover.

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.

1. Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move and install refrigerator.

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

Move the refrigerator into its final location.

Remove the base grille. See Base Grille graphic. The two leveling screws are part of the front roller assemblies which

are at the base of the refrigerator on either side.

Use a screwdriver to adjust the leveling screws. Turn the leveling screw to the right to raise that side of the refrigerator or turn the leveling screw to the left to lower that side. It may

take several turns of the leveling screws to adjust the tilt of the refrigerator.

NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the refrigerator takes some weight off the leveling screws and

rollers. This makes it easier to adjust the screws.

REFRIGERATOR USE

For your convenience, your refrigerator controls are preset at the factory. When you first install your refrigerator, make sure that the

controls are still preset to the mid-settings as shown. NOTE: To turn your refrigerator off, turn the refrigerator control to

the word OFF or until the word OFF appears. Your product will not cool when the refrigerator control is set to OFR

Mid-setting "3"

IMPORTANT:

Give your refrigerator time to cool down completely before adding food. It is best to wait 24 hours before you put food

into the refrigerator. If you add food before the refrigerator has cooled completely,

your food may spoil. Adjusting the Refrigerator and Freezer Controls to a higher (colder) than recommended setting will

not cool the compartments any faster.

AdjustingControls IceProductionRate

The mid-settings indicated in the previous section should be

correct for normal household usage. The controls are set correctly when milk or juice is as cold as you like and when ice cream is

firm.

If the temperature is too warm or too cold in the refrigerator or

freezer, first check the air vents to be sure they are not blocked.

If you need to adjust temperatures, use the settings listed in the chart below as a guide. On models with two controls, adjust the refrigerator temperature first. Wait at least 24 hours between

adjustments and then recheck the temperatures.

{

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.

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

first three batches of ice produced.

• The ice maker should produce approximately 8to 12 batches of ice in a 24-hour period.

• To increase ice production, lower the freezer and refrigerator temperature. See "Using the Controls." Wait 24 hours

between adjustments.

• For maximum ice production (on some models), push the switch to Optimlce. The ice maker should produce 16 to

20 batches of ice in a 24-hour period in the Optimlce mode.

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 a softened water supply cannot be avoided, make sure the water softener is operating properly and is well

maintained.

• Never use anything sharp to break up the ice in the 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 ice bin.

Turning the Ice Maker On/Off

To turn the ice maker ON, simply lower the wire shutoff arm. To manually turn the ice maker OFF,lift the wire shutoff arm to the

OFF (arm up) position and listen for the click. NOTE: Your ice maker has an automatic shutoff. As ice is made,

the ice cubes will fill the ice storage bin and the ice cubes will

raise the wire shutoff arm to the OFF (arm up) position. Do not

force the wire shutoff arm up or down.

Cut Hazard

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

IMPORTANT:

• After connecting the refrigerator to a water source, flush the water system by dispensing water into a sturdy container until

you draw and discard 2 to 3 gal. (8 to 12 L) of water, or for approximately 5 minutes after the water begins dispensing. The flushing process cleans the water system and clears the air from the lines. As the air is cleared from the lines, water

may spurt out of the dispenser. Allow several hours for the refrigerator to cool down and chill

water. Dispense enough water every week to maintain a fresh supply.

To Dispense Water:

There are two water dispenser buttons for use with different sizes of containers.

1. Press a sturdy glass against the back button or hold a container under the dispenser while pressing the front button.

2. Remove the glass or release the front button to stop dispensing.

NOTE: 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.

Water Filter Status Light (on some models)

The water filter status light will help you know when to change your water filter. The light will change from green to yellow. This

tells you that it is almost time to change the filter. It is

recommended that you replace the water filter when the status light changes to red OR water flow to your water dispenser or ice maker decreases noticeably.

After changing the water filter, reset the water filter status light. The status light will change from red to green when the system is

reset.

Non-indicator Water Filter (on some models)

If your refrigerator does not have the status light, you should change the water filter every 6 to 9 months depending upon your usage. If the water flow to the water dispenser or ice maker decreases noticeably before 6 months have passed, replace the

water filter more often.

Using the Dispenser Without the Water Filter

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.

4. 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:

• Removethe base grille.

• Use a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush to clean the grille,

the open areas behind the grille and the front surface area of the condenser.

• Replace the base grille when finished.

5. Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.

You can run the dispenser without a water filter. Your water will not be filtered.

1. Remove the water filter.

2. Slide the cap off the end of the filter and replace the cap in the base grille.

IMPORTANT: Do not discard the cap. It is part of your refrigerator. Keep the cap to use with the replacement filter.

3. Turn the cap until it is firmly in position.

REFRIGERATOR CARE

Explosion Hazard

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

NOTE: Not all bulbs will fit your refrigerator. Be sure to replace the bulb with one of the same size, shape, and wattage.

1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

2. Remove the bulb from behind the control panel in the refrigerator or from behind the light shield in the freezer (on

some models). Replace it with a bulb of the same wattage.

3. Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.

Both the refrigerator and freezer sections defrost automatically. However, clean both sections about once a month to prevent

odors from building up. 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 prevent

odor transfer and drying out of food, wrap or cover foods tightly.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Trythe solutions suggested here first in order to avoid the cost of an unnecessary service call.

The doors will not close completely

The refrigerator will not operate

• Power cord unplugged? Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet,

• Is outlet working? Plug in a lamp to see if the outlet is working,

• Household fuse blown or circuit breaker tripped? Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker.

Are controls on? Make sure the refrigerator controls are on. See "Using the Controls."

New installation? Allow 24 hours following installation for the refrigerator to cool completely.

NOTE: Adjusting the temperature controls to coldest setting will not cool either compartment more quickly.

The motor seems to run too much

Your new refrigerator may run longer than your old one due to its high-efficiency compressor and fans. The unit may run even longer if the room is warm, a large food load is added, doors are opened often, or if the doors have been left open.

The refrigerator seems noisy

Refrigerator noise has been reduced over the years. Due to this reduction, you may hear intermittent noises from your new refrigerator that you did not notice from your old model. Below are

listed some normal sounds with explanations.

• Buzzing - heard when the water valve opens to fill the ice maker

• Pulsating - fans/compressor adjusting to optimize performance

• Hissing/Rattling - flow of refrigerant, movement of water lines, or from items placed on top of the refrigerator

• Sizzling/Gurgling - water dripping on the heater during defrost cycle

• Popping - contraction/expansion of inside walls, especially during initial cool-down

• Water running - may be heard when water melts during the defrost cycle and runs into the drain pan

• Creaking/Cracking - occurs as ice is being ejected from the ice maker mold,

• Door blocked open? Move food packages away from door.

• Bin or shelf in the way? Push bin or shelf back in the correct position.

The doors are difficult to open

• Gaskets dirty or sticky? Clean gaskets and contact surfaces with mild soap and warm water. Rinse and dry with soft cloth,

Temperature is too warm

• New installation? Allow 24 hours following installation for the refrigerator to cool completely.

• Door(s) opened often or left open? Allows warm air to enter refrigerator. Minimize door openings and keep doors fully

closed.

• Large load of food added? Allow several hours for refrigerator to return to normal temperature.

• Controls set correctly for the surrounding conditions? Adjust the controls a setting colder. Check temperature in 24 hours. See "Using the Controls."

There is interior moisture buildup

NOTE: Some moisture build-up is normal.

• Humid room? Contributes to moisture build-up.

• Door(s) opened often or left open? Allows humid air to enter refrigerator. Minimize door openings and keep doors fully

closed.

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.

• Freezer door closed completely? Firmly close the freezer compartment door. If the freezer compartment door will not

close all the way, see "The doors will not close completely."

• 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.

• Water filter installed on the refrigerator? Remove filter and operate ice maker. If ice volume improves, then the filter may be clogged or incorrectly installed. Replace filter or reinstall it

correctly.

• 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.

• Water filter installed on the refrigerator? Remove filter and operate ice maker. If ice quality improves, then the filter may be clogged or incorrectly installed. Replace filter or reinstall it

correctly.

• 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.

• Water filter installed on the refrigerator? Gray or dark discoloration in ice indicates that the water filtration system

needs additional flushing. Flush the water system before using a new water filter. Replace water filter when indicated. See "Water Filtration System."

The water dispenser will not operate properly

• 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? Straighten the water source line.

• New installation? Flush and fill the water system. See "Water Dispenser."

• Is the water pressure at least 30 psi? The water pressure to the home determines the flow from the dispenser. See "Water

Supply Requirements."

• Water filter installed on the refrigerator? Remove filter and operate dispenser. If water flow increases, the filter may be clogged or incorrectly installed. Replace filter or reinstall it

correctly.

• Reverse osmosis water filtration system connected to your cold water supply? This can decrease water pressure. See "Water Supply Requirements."

Water is dripping 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 2 to 3 seconds after releasing the dispenser lever.

• New installation? Flush the water system. See "Water Dispenser."

• Recently changed water filter? Flush the water system. See "Water Dispenser."

Water from the dispenser is warm

NOTE: Water from the dispenser is only chilled to 50°F (10°C).

• New installation? Allow 24 hours after installation for the water supply to cool completely.

• Recently dispensed large amount of water? Allow 24 hours for water supply to cool completely.

• Water not been recently dispensed? The first glass of water may not be cool. Discard the first glass of water.

• Refrigerator connected to a cold water pipe? Make sure the refrigerator is connected to a cold water pipe. See "Water Supply Requirements."
