19 INSTALLATION

LEVELING AND DOOR ALIGNMENT

Leveling

After installing, plug the refrigerator’s power cord into a 3-prong grounded outlet and push the refrigerator into the final position.

Your refrigerator has two front leveling legs—one on the right and one on the left. Adjust the legs to alter the tilt from front- to-back or side-to-side. If your refrigerator seems unsteady, or you want the doors to close more easily, adjust the refrigerator’s tilt using the instructions below:

NOTE: Tools Required: 11/16 in (18 mm) wrench or flat blade screwdriver.

1. Turn the leveling leg to the left to raise that side of the refrigerator or to the right to lower it. It may take several turns of the leveling leg to adjust the tilt of the refrigerator.

NOTE: Having someone push backward against the top of the refrigerator takes some weight off of the leveling legs. This makes it easier to adjust the legs.

2. Open both doors again and check to make sure that they close easily. If the doors do not close easily, tilt the refrigerator slightly more to the rear by turning both leveling legs to the left. It may take several more turns, and you should turn both leveling legs the same amount.

NOTE: Your refrigerator is uniquely designed with two fresh food doors. Either door can be opened or closed independently of the other. You may have to exert slight pressure on the doors to get them to close completely.

Door Alignment

If the space between your doors is uneven, follow the instructions below to align the doors:

1.With one hand, lift up the door that you would like to raise at the middle hinge.

2.With your other hand, use pliers to insert snap ring as shown.

3.Insert additional snap rings until the doors are aligned. (Three snap rings are provided with the refrigerator in the Use & Care Guide packet.)

HOW TO USE 20

SETTING THE CONTROLS

AIRFLOW

The refrigerator control functions as the thermostat for the entire appliance (refrigerator and freezer sections). The colder the setting, the longer the compressor will run to keep the temperature colder. The freezer control adjusts the cold air flow from the freezer to the refrigerator. Setting the freezer control to a lower temperature keeps more cold air in the freezer compartment to make it colder.

Cold air circulates from the freezer to the fresh food section and back again through air vents in the wall dividing the two sections. Be sure not to block vents while packing your refrigerator. Doing so will restrict airflow and may cause the refrigerator temperature to become too warm or cause interior moisture buildup. (See air flow diagram below.)

Temperature

NOTE: When changing control settings, wait 24 hours before making additional adjustments. The controls are set correctly when milk or juice is as cold as you would like and when ice cream is firm. If the temperature in either compartment is too cold or too warm, change the setting one increment at a time. Wait 24 hours for the change to stabilize before adjusting again.

AUTOMATIC ICEMAKER (Installed Ice Maker Models Only)

The icemaker will produce approximately 70-210 cubes in a 24-hour period, depending on freezer compartment temperature, room temperature, number of door openings and other operating conditions.

It takes about 12 to 24 hours for a newly installed refrigerator to begin making ice. Wait 72 hours for full ice production to occur.

Ice making stops when the in-door ice bin is full. When full, the in-door ice bin holds approximately 6-8 (12-16 oz) glasses of ice.

To turn off the automatic icemaker, set the icemaker switch to OFF (O). To turn on the automatic icemaker, set the switch to ON (I).

The water pressure must be between 20 and 120 psi (0,14 ~ 0,82 MPa) on models without a water filter and between 40 and 120 psi (0,28 ~ 0,82 MPa) on models with a water filter to produce the normal amount and size of ice cubes.

Foreign substances or frost on the ice-detecting sensor can interrupt ice production. Make sure the sensor area is clean at all times for proper operation.

CAUTION

The first ice produced after installation may include particles or odor from the water supply line or the water tank. Throw away the first few batches of

ice (about 24 cubes). This is also necessary if the refrigerator has not been used for a long time.

If discolored ice is produced, check the water supply. If the problem continues, contact to qualified service center. Do not use the ice or water until the problem is corrected.

Be sure nothing interferes with the sweep of the Automatic Shut Off Arm.

When the bin fills to the level of the Automatic Shut Off Arm, the icemaker will stop producing ice.

It is normal for some cubes to be stuck together.

If ice is not used frequently, old ice cubes will become cloudy, tase stale, and shrink.

Never store beverage cans or other items in the ice bin for the purpose of rapid cooling. Doing so may damage the icemaker or the containers may burst.

Never use thin crystal glass or crockery to collect ice. Such containers may chip or break resulting in glass fragments in the ice.

NOTE: Keeping the power switch in the ON (I) position before the water line is connected can damage the icemaker.

You will hear the sound of cubes dropping into the bin and water running in the pipes as the icemaker refills

PREPARING FOR VACATION

Set the icemaker power switch to OFF (O) and shut off the water supply to the refrigerator.

NOTE: The ice bin should be emptied anytime the icemaker ON/OFF switch is turned to the OFF (O) position.

If the ambient temperature will drop below freezing, have a qualfied technician drain the water supply system to prevent serious property damage due to flooding caused by ruptured water lines or connections.
