Unpacking Your Refrigerator
ENGLISH
WARNING
Use two or more people to move and
install the refrigerator. Failure to do so
can result in back or other injury.
Your refrigerator is heavy. When moving
the refrigerator for cleaning or service,
be sure to protect the oor. Always
pull the refrigerator straight out when
moving it. Do not wiggle or walk the
refrigerator when trying to move it, as
oor damage could occur.
Keep ammable materials and vapors,
such as gas o lin e , away fro m th e
refrigerator. Failure to do so can result
in re, explosion, or death.
Remove tape and any temporary labels from
your refrigerator before using. Do not remove
any warning-type labels, the model and serial
number label, or the Tech Sheet that is located
under the front of the refrigerator.
To remove any remaining tape or glue, rub the
area briskly with your thumb. Tape or glue residue can also be easily removed by rubbing a
small amount of liquid dish soap over the adhesive with your ngers. Wipe with warm water
and dry.
Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol,
ammable uids, or abrasive cleaners to remove tape or glue. These products can damage
the surface of your refrigerator.
Refrigerator shelves are installed in the shipping position. Please reinstall shelves according
to your individual storage needs.
Choosing the Proper Location
Select a place where a water supply can
be easily connected for the automatic
icemaker.
NOTE
The water pressure must be between
20 and 120 psi (0,14 - 0,82 MPa) on models
without a water lter and between 40 and
120 psi (0,28 - 0,82 MPa) on models with a
water lter.
The refrigerator should al ways be plugged
into its own individual properly grounded
electrical outlet rated for 115/127 V ~ 60 Hz,
AC only, and fused at 15 or 20 A.
This provides the best perfor m ance
and also prevents overloading house
wiring circuits which could cause a re
hazard from overheated wires. It i
recommended that a separate circuit
serving only this appliance be provided.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not
install the refrigerator in a wet or damp area.
Flooring
To avoid noise and vibration, the unit must be
leveled and installed on a solidly constructed
oor. If required, adjust the leveling legs to
compensate for unevenness of the oor. The
front should be slightly higher than the rear to
aid in door closing. Leveling legs can be turned
easily by tipping the cabinet slightly. Turn the
leveling legs to the left to raise the unit or to
the right to lower it. (See Leveling and Door
AlIgnment.)
NOTE
Installing on carpeting, soft tile surfaces, a
platform or weakly supported structure is
not recommended.

12INSTALLATION
Ambient Temperature
Install this appliance in an area where the temperature is between 55°F (13°C) and 110°F
(43°C). If the temperature around the appliance
is too low or high, cooling ability may be adversely aected.
Measuring the Clearances
Too small of a distance from adjacent items
may result in lowered freezing capability and increased electricity consumption charges. Allow
at least 24 inches (61 cm) in front of the refrigerator to open the doors, and at least 2 inches
(5.08 cm) between the back of the refrigerator
and the wall.

refrigerator warranty. Follow these instructions
carefully to minimize the risk of expensive water
damage.
Water hammer (water banging in the pipes)
in ho use plumbing can cause damage to
refrigerator parts and can lead to water leakage
or ooding. Call a qualied plumber to correct
water hammer before installing the water supply
line to the refrigerator.
CAUTION
To prevent burns and product damage, only

water supply.
If you use your refrigerator before connecting
the water line, make sure the icemaker power
switch is in the OFF (O) position.
CAUTION
Do not install the icemaker tubing in areas
where temperatures fall below freezing.

28HOW TO USE
Automatic Icemaker
(Freezer Room)
* Depen d i ng on the mo del, so m e of the
following functions may not be available.
Ice is made in the automatic icemaker and sent
to the dispenser. The icemaker will produce
12 cubes per cycle—approximately 120 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.
The water pressure must be between
20 and 120 psi on models without a
water lter and between 40 and 120
ps i on mo dels with a water lte r to
produce the normal amount and size of
ice cubes.
For e ign substa n ces or fr o st on the
ice-detecting sensor can interrupt ice
production. Make sure the sensor area is
clean at all times for proper operation.

particles or odor from the water supply
line or the water tank.
Throw away the rst few batches of ice
(about 24 cubes). This is also necessary
if the refrigerator has not been used for a
long time.
Never st ore 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.
If discolo red ice is dispensed, check
the water lter and water supply. If the
problem continues, contact a qualied
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 o arm.
It is normal for some cubes to be stuck
together.
If ice is not used frequently, old ice cubes
wi ll become cloudy, ta ste stale, and
shrink.
Never use thin crystal glass or crockery to
collect ice. Such containers may chip or
break resulting in glass fragments in the
ice.
When You Should Turn the
Icemaker Off
When the water supply will be shut o
for several hours.
When the ice bin is removed for more
than one or two minutes.
When the refrigerator will not be used for
several days.
NOTE
The ice bin should be emptied when the
icemaker on/o switch is turned to the
position.
Normal Sounds You May Hear
The icemaker water valve will buzz as the
icemaker lls with water. If the power
switch is in the ON (I) position, it will buzz
even if it has not yet been hooked up
to water. To stop the buzzing, move the
power switch to OFF (O).
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 rells.
OFF
Preparing For Vacation
Set the icemaker power switch to OFF (O) and
shut o the water supply to the refrigerator.
NOTE
The ice bin should be emptied anytime the
icemaker on/o switch is turned to the OFF
(O) position.
If the ambient temperature will drop below
freezing, have a qual ied technician drain
the water supply system to prevent serious
property damage due to ooding caused by
ruptured water lines or connections.
