BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

This guide contains many important safety messages. Always read and obey all

safety messages.

,_ This is the safety alert symbol. It alerts you to safety messages that inform you of hazards that can kill or hurt you or others or cause damage to the product. All safety messages will be preceded by the safety

alert symbol and the hazard signal word DANGER, WARNING, or CAUTION. These words mean:

DANGER WARNING CAUTION

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

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

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

Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury, or product damage.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or

injury to persons when using your product, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following.

Read all instructions before using this appliance.

•NEVER unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull it straight out from the outlet.

• Repair or replace immediately all electric service cords that have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either the plug or connector end.

• When moving your refrigerator away from the wall, be careful not to roll over or damage the power cord.

• DO NOT store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

• DO NOT allow children to climb, stand, or hang on the refrigerator doors or shelves in the refrigerator. They could damage the refrigerator and seriously injure themselves.

• Keep fingers out of pinch point areas; clearances between the doors and cabinet are necessarily small. Be careful closing doors when children are

in the area.

• Unplug your refrigerator before cleaning or making any repairs. NOTE: Service should be performed by a qualified

technician.

• Before replacing a burned-out light bulb, unplug the refrigerator or turn off power at the circuit breaker

or fuse box in order to avoid contact with a live wire filament. (A burned-out light bulb may break when

being replaced.) NOTE: Some models have LED interior lighting and service should be performed by a qualified

technician. NOTE: Setting either or both controls to the OFF

position does not remove power to the light circuit.

• When you are finished, reconnect the refrigerator to the electrical source and reset the control

(Thermostat Refrigerator Control, or Freezer Control, or Freezer Control, depending on the model) to the desired setting.

• This refrigerator must be properly installed in accordance with the Installer Instructions that

were taped to the front of the refrigerator.

• After your refrigerator is in operation, do not touch the cold surfaces in the freezer compartment when

hands are damp or wet. Skin may adhere to the extremely cold surfaces.

• In refrigerators with automatic icemakers, avoid contact with the moving parts of the ejector mechanism or with the heating element that releases the cubes. DO NOT place fingers or hands on the automatic icemaking mechanism while the refrigerator is plugged in.

• Do not modify or extend the power cord length. It will cause electric shock or fire.

IMPORIANISAFELYINFORMAIION

BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (CONT.)

• DO not use drier to dry the inside, nor light a candle to remove odor.

• Install in places away from the fire such as the place where flammable gas is leaked.

• This appliance is not intended for use by persons

(including children) with reduced physical, sensory

or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and

knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

• DO NOT refreeze frozen foods which have thawed completely. The United States

Department of Agriculture in Home and Garden Bulletin No. 69 says:

...You may safely refreeze frozen foods that have

thawed if they still contain ice crystals or if they are

still cold--below 40°F (4°C). ...Thawed ground meats, poultry, or fish that have

any off-odor or off-color should not be refrozen and should not be eaten. Thawed ice cream

should be discarded. Ifthe odor or color of any food is poor or questionable, dispose of it. The food may be dangerous to eat.

Even partial thawing and refreezing reduces the

quality of foods, particularly fruits, vegetables,

and prepared foods. The eating quality of red meats is affected less than that of many other

foods. Use refrozen foods as soon as possible to

save as much of their quality as you can.

Risk of Child Entrapment

Discarded or abandoned refrigerators are dangerous, even if they will sit for just a few days. If you are disposing of your old refrigerator,

please follow the instructions below to help prevent accidents.

Before you throw away your old refrigerator or freezer:

•Take off the doors.

• Do not leave the shelves in place, as children may

climb inside.

CFC DISPOSAL

Your old refrigerator may have a cooling system that used CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons). CFCs are

believed to harm stratospheric ozone. If you are throwing away your old refrigerator,

make sure the CFC refrigerant is removed for proper disposal by a qualified servicer. If you intentionally release this CFC refrigerant, you can be subject to fines and imprisonment under provisions of environmental legislation.

IMPORIANTSAFELYINFORMATION

HOW TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY

IMPORTANT: Please read carefully.

&WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded. Have the wall outlet and

the circuit checked by a qualified electrician to

make sure the outlet is properly grounded.

RECOMMENDED GROUNDING METHOD

The refrigerator should always be plugged into

its own individual properly grounded electrical outlet rated for 120 volts, 60 Hz, AC only, and fused at 20 amperes. This provides the

best performance and also prevents overloading

house wiring circuits which could cause a fire

hazard from overheated wires. It is

recommended that a separate circuit serving only this appliance be provided.

Use a receptacle which cannot be turned off with

a switch or pull chain. Do not use an extension cord. Where a standard two-prong wall outlet is

encountered, it is your personal responsibility

and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded three-prong wall outlet.

Do not, under any circumstances, cut or

remove the third (ground) prong from the

power cord.

Do not use an adapter plug.

NOTE: Some models have LED interior lighting and

service should be performed by a qualified technician. When you are finished, reconnect the refrigerator to

the electrical source and reset the control

(Thermostat, Refrigerator Control, or Freezer Control, depending on the model) to the desired setting.

USE OF EXTENSION CORDS

Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend

against the use of an extension cord.

However, if you still elect to use an extension

cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL-listed

(USA), 3-wire grounding-type appliance extension cord having a grounding-type plug

and outlet and that the electrical rating of the

cord be 20 amperes (minimum) and 120 volts.

Use of an extension cord will increase the

clearance needed for the back of the

refrigerator.

CONNSCTING THB WATER SUPPLY

AWARNING

Connect to safe drinking water supply only.

• The water pressure must be between 20 and 120 psi (140 and 830 kPa ) on models without a water filter and between 40 and 120 psi (280 and 830 kPa) on models with a water filter.

• If water pressure does not reach 20 psi (140 kPa) or falls below, it is necessary to purchase a separate pressure pump for normal automatic icemaker and water dispensing operation.

• It is recommended that the total length of the water

feed tube does not exceed 26 ft. (8 m).

• Install the water supply line where it will not be affected by heat.

• If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is

connected to your cold water supply, This water line

installation is not warranted by the refrigerator or icemaker manufacturer. Follow next instructions

carefully to minimize the risk of expensive water

damage.

• 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 and 60 psi (280 and

420 kPa), less than 2.0-3.0sec to fill a cup of 7oz capacity). If the water pressure from the reverse osmosis system is less than 20 psi (140 kPa, more than

4.0sec to fill a cup of 7oz (200cc) capacity):

• 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 the issue about water pressure from reverse osmosis remains, call a licensed, qualified plumber.

IMPORTANT: Read all directions thoroughly before

you begin.

• If operating the refrigerator before installing the water connection, turn the icemaker to the OFF

position to prevent operation without water.

• All installations must be in accordance with local

plumbing code requirements.

• Use copper tubing and check for leaks.

• Install tubing only in areas where temperatures will

remain above freezing.

• It may take up to 24 hours for the icemaker to begin

producing ice.

Tools Required

• standard screwdriver

• 7/16-in. and 1/2-in. open-end wrenches or two

adjustable wrenches

• 1/4-in. nut driver

• 1/4-in. drill bit

• Hand drill or electric drill (properly grounded)

NOTE: Refrigerator dealers offer a kit with a 1/4-in.

saddle-type shutoff valve, a union, and copper tubing.

Before purchasing, make sure a saddle-type valve

complies with local plumbing codes.

Do not use a piercing=type or 3/16=in. saddle valve

which reduces water flow and clogs more easily.

NOTE: The Commonwealth of Massachusetts Plumbing Code 248CMR shall be adhered to.

Saddle valves are illegal and use is not permitted in

Massachusetts. Consult with your licensed plumber.

Cold Water Supply

• The icemaker water valve contains a flow washer which is used as a water pressure regulator.

• The icemaker needs to be connected to a cold water

line with water pressure between 20 and 120 psi (140 and 830 kPa) on models without a water filter and between 40 and 120 psi (280 and 830 kPa) on

models with a water filter.

CONNECTING THE WATER LINES

INSIA//AIION

IMPORTANT: Before connectingthe tubing to thewater line,unplug the refrigeratoror disconnect the power.

•Turn off the mainwater supply and open the nearest faucet to relievepressurein the line.Opening an outside faucet may helpdrainwater from the linein the house.

•Finda 1/2-in.vertical COLD water pipenear the refrigerator.

NOTE: A horizontalpipe willwork, but the following precaution must betaken: drill onthe top ofthe pipe, not the

bottom. This will helpkeep wateraway fromthe drilland also keep normalsediment from collecting in the valve.

•To determine the lengthof copper tubing you will need, measure from theconnection on the lower leftrear ofthe

refrigerator tothe water pipe. Add 7 ft. (2.1 m) to allow for moving the refrigeratorfor cleaning. Use 1/4-in.O.D. (outside diameter) copper tubing. Be sure bothends of the copper tubing are cut square.

•Using a drill,drilla 1/4-in.hole inthe cold water pipeyou have selected.

•Fastenthe shutoff valve to thecold water pipe with the pipe clamp. Besure the outlet end issolidly inthe 1/4-in. drilled hole in the water pipe and the washer is underthe pipe clamp. Tightenthe packing nut.Tighten the pipe clamp screws carefullyand evenly so the washer makes a watertight seal.

Do not overtightenoryou may crushthe copper tubing, especially if soft (coiled)copper tubing isused. Now you are readyto connectthe copper tubing.

•Slip the compressionsleeve and the compressionnut onto the copper tubing as shown. Insertthe end of the tubing into the outlet end squarely as far as it will go. Screw the compression nut onto the outlet end with a wrench. A flare nut wrench works best, but an open-endwrench will suffice. Do not overtighten.

AUTOMATic ICEMAKER

,WARNING

Personal injury Hazard

• DO NOT insert your hands in to the Icemaker in

operation. It may cause to injure you.

ttOW10 USE

Operation instructions

A newly-installed refrigerator may take 12 to 24

hours to begin making ice.

Sh_ off Arm Power Switch

The icemaker will produce 12 cubes per cycle- approximately 90-130 cubes in a 24-hour period, depending on freezer compartment temperature, room temperature, number of door openings and other operating conditions.

If the refrigerator is used before the water connection is made to the icemaker, set the power switch to O (off).

When the refrigerator has been connected to the water supply, set the power switch to I (on).

The icemaker will fill with water when it cools to freezing. A newly-installed refrigerator may take 12 to 24 hours

to begin making ice cubes. Throw away the first few batches of ice to allow the

water line to clear. 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 several cubes to be stuck together. If ice is not used frequently, old ice cubes will become

cloudy, taste stale, and shrink.

When you should set the icemaker

power switch to O(off)

• When the water supply will be shut off for several hours.

•When the ice storage bin is removed for more than a minute or two.

•When the refrigerator will not be used for several days.

Normal sounds you may hear

•The icemaker water valve willbuzz as the icemaker fills with water. If the power switch is in the I (on)

position, it will buzz even if it has not yet been hooked up to water.

To stop the buzzing, move the power switch to O

(off).

NOTE: Keeping the power switch in the I (on) 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 O (off) and shut off the water supply to the refrigerator.

If the ambient temperature willdrop below freezing, have a qualified servicer drain the water supply system to prevent serious property damage due to

flooding from ruptured water lines orconnections.

HOW|0 USE

STORING FOODS

• Store fresh food in the refrigerator compartment.

• How food is frozen and thawed is an important factor in maintaining freshness and flavor.

• Do not store food that spoils easily, such as

bananas and melons, at low temperatures.

• Allow hot food to cool prior to storing; placing hot food in the refrigerator could spoil other food and

lead to higher energy consumption.

• When storing food, cover it with vinyl wrap or store

in a container with a lid. This prevents moisture from evaporating and helps food to keep its flavor and

nutrition.

• Do not block air vents with food or containers.

Smooth circulation of chilled air keeps the refrigerator temperatures even.

• Do not open the doors frequently. Opening the doors allows warm air to enter the refrigerator and freezer compartments, which causes temperatures

to rise.

• Never overload the door racks; overloading may

push against the inner racks and prevent the doors

from closing correctly.

Freezer compartment

• Do not store glass bottles inthe freezer

compartment; glass may break when the contents

are frozen.

• Do not refreeze food that has been thawed. This causes loss of flavor and nutrition.

• Do not touch cold foods or containers, especially those made of metal, with wet hands or place glass

products in the freezer compartment.

• Do not use the egg box as an ice bin in the freezer. The egg box will break easily if it freezes.

Refrigerator compartment

•Avoid placing moist food on the top refrigerator

shelves; it couldfreeze from direct contact with

chilled air.

•Always clean food prior to refrigeration. Vegetables and fruits should be washed and wiped

and packed food should be wiped to prevent adjacent food from spoiling.

NOTE: If you keep the refrigerator in a hot and humid

place, frequent opening of the door or storing a lot of vegetables in the refrigerator may cause condensation to form. Wipe the condensation with a clean cloth or a paper towel.
