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

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

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.

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.

B BA

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.”

pushing it down until it stops.

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 lbs of food per cubic foot [907-1,350 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.

and to remove minor scuffs or marks, it is suggested that you use the manufacturer’s approved Stainless Steel Cleaner and Polish.

IMPORTANT: This cleaner is for Stainless Steel parts only! Do not allow the Stainless Steel Cleaner and Polish to come

into contact with any plastic parts such as the trim pieces, dispenser covers or door gaskets. If unintentional contact does occur, clean plastic part with a sponge and mild detergent in warm water. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. To order the cleaner, see “Accessories.”

6. Press the power switch to ON.

7. Replace the top grille. See “Power On/Off Switch.”

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.

To Clean Your Refrigerator:

1. Remove the top grille. See “Power On/Off Switch.”

2. Press power switch to OFF.

3. Remove all removable parts from inside, such as shelves,

crispers, etc.

4. 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.

■ 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. These can scratch or damage materials.

■ To help remove odors, you can wash interior walls with a

mixture of warm water and baking soda (2 tbs to 1 qt [26 g to 0.95 L] of water).

5. Clean the exterior surfaces.

Changing the Light Bulbs

NOTE: Not all appliance bulbs will fit your refrigerator. Be sure to replace the bulb with one of the same size and shape. The lights require a 40-watt maximum appliance bulb. Replacement bulbs are available from your dealer.

Power Interruptions

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.

WARNING

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 lbs (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.

Vacation Care

Your refrigerator is equipped with the Holiday Mode feature, which is designed for the traveler who wishes to turn off the lights and ice maker. By selecting this feature, the temperature set points remain unchanged, the ice maker will be disabled and the interior lights will turn off. For most efficient refrigerator operation, it is recommended to exit the Holiday Mode when it is no longer required.

If You Choose to Leave the Refrigerator on While You’re Away:

1. Use up any perishables and freeze other items.

2. Press HOLIDAY MODE pad.

3. If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker, shut off the

water supply to the ice maker.

4. Empty the ice bin.

5. When you return from vacation, press HOLIDAY MODE to

return to normal operation.

If You Choose to Turn the Refrigerator Off Before You Leave:

1. Remove all food from the refrigerator.

2. If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker:

■ Turn off the water supply to the ice maker at least one day

ahead of time.

■ When the last load of ice drops, slide the ice maker control

to the OFF (down) position.

3. Depending on your model, turn the Thermostat Control

(or Refrigerator Control) to OFF. See “Using the Controls.”

4. Clean refrigerator, wipe it, and dry well.

5. Tape rubber or wood blocks to the tops of all doors to prop

them open far enough for air to get in. This stops odor and mold from building up.

TROUBLESHOOTING

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

The refrigerator will not operate

■ Power cord unplugged? Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

Refrigerator Operation

■ 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. If the problem continues, call an electrician.

■ Are controls on? Make sure the refrigerator controls are on.

See “Using the Controls.”

■ Is refrigerator defrosting? Your refrigerator will regularly run

an automatic defrost cycle. Recheck in 30 minutes to see if it is operating.

■ 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 is noisy

WARNING

Explosion Hazard Use nonflammable cleaner. Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

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 an explanation.

■ Buzzing - heard when the water valve opens to fill the ice

maker

■ Pulsating - fans/compressor adjusting to optimize

performance

■ Rattling - flow of refrigerant, water line, 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.

There is no audible door open alarm

Has the door been open less than10 minutes? The door open

alarm will only flash when the door has been open for 10 minutes. The audible alarm will sound the first time the door is left open for more than 10 minutes. Subsequent door open alarms will only flash. You must reset the audible alarm each time. See “Using the Control(s).”

The doors will not close completely

■ 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

Temperature and Moisture

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.”

■ Refrigerator not cooling? For models with digital controls,

turn the refrigerator OFF and then ON to reset. If this does not correct the problem, call for service.

■ Air vents blocked? Remove any item from in front of the air

vents.

There is interior moisture buildup

NOTE: Some moisture buildup is normal.

■ Humid room? Contributes to moisture buildup.

■ Door(s) opened often or left open? Allows humid air to enter

refrigerator. Minimize door openings and keep doors fully closed.

There is moisture between the refrigerator doors

■ Energy Saver on? Turn the Energy Saver feature OFF, if

moisture is collecting between the refrigerator doors. See “Using Controls.”

Ice and Water

The ice maker is not producing ice or not enough ice

■ Are the gaskets dirty or sticky? Clean gaskets with mild

soap and warm water.

The lights do not work

■ Is a light bulb loose in the socket or burned out? See

“Changing the Light Bulbs.”

■ Is the refrigerator in Holiday Mode? See “Using the

Controls.”

■ Has the door been open more than 10 minutes? See “Using

the Controls.”

■ 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.

■ Reverse osmosis water filtration system connected to

your cold water supply? This can decrease water pressure. See “Water Supply Requirements” in either the Installation Instruction booklet or the Use & Care Guide.

The ice cubes are hollow or small

Ice is sticking together in the ice storage bin

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.
