State of California Proposition 65 Warnings: WARNING: This product contains one or more chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer. WARNING: This product contains one or more chemicals known to the State of California to cause birth defects or other

reproductive harm.

Proper Disposal of Your Old Refrigerator

WARNING

Suffocation Hazard Remove doors from your old refrigerator. Failure to do so can result in death or brain damage.

Important information to know about disposal of refrigerants:

Dispose of refrigerator in accordance with Federal and Local regulations. Refrigerants must be evacuated by a licensed, EPA certified refrigerant technician in accordance with established procedures.

WARNING

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move and install refrigerator.

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

When Moving Your Refrigerator:

Your refrigerator is heavy. When moving the refrigerator for cleaning or service, be sure to cover the floor with cardboard or hardboard to avoid floor damage. Always pull the refrigerator straight out when moving it. Do not wiggle or “walk” the refrigerator when trying to move it, as floor damage could occur.

Important 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. Tempered glass is designed to shatter into many small, pebble-size pieces. This is normal. Glass shelves and covers are heavy. Use both hands when removing them to avoid dropping.

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 o ff th e doo rs.

■ Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily

climb inside.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Remove the Packaging

■ Remove tape and glue residue from surfaces before turning

on the refrigerator. Rub a small amount of liquid dish soap over the adhesive with your fingers. Wipe with warm water and dry.

NOTE: 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.”

■ Dispose of/recycle all packaging materials.

IMPORTANT: Do not remove the white foam air return insert that is located behind the control panel on the ceiling of the refrigerator (on some models). The insert is part of the refrigerator and not part of the packing material. If the insert is removed, ice may migrate down from the freezer and cause icicles to form.

Unpack the Refrigerator

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.”

Location Requirements

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.

2" (1.25 cm)

2" (5.08 cm)

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

IMPORTANT: This refrigerator is designed for indoor household use only.

To ensure proper ventilation for your refrigerator, allow for ½" (1.25 cm) of space on each side and at the top. Allow for 1" (2.54 cm) of space behind the refrigerator. If your refrigerator has an ice maker, allow extra space at the back for the water line connections. When installing your refrigerator next to a fixed wall, leave a 2" (5.08 cm) minimum space on the hinge side (some models require more) to allow the door to swing open.

NOTE: This refrigerator is intended for use in a location where the temperature ranges from a minimum of 55°F (13°C) to a maximum of 110°F (43°C). The preferred room temperature range for optimum performance, which reduces electricity usage and provides superior cooling, is between 60°F (15°C) and 90°F (32°C). It is recommended that you do not install the refrigerator near a heat source, such as an oven or radiator.

Electrical Requirements

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 or cleaning, or removing a light bulb, turn cooling off or 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 turn cooling on or reset the control (Thermostat, Refrigerator or Freezer Control depending on the model) to the desired setting. See “Using the Controls” in the User Instructions, User Guide, or Use & Care Guide.

Water Supply Requirements

Read all directions before you begin. Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation.

Read and follow the instructions provided with any tools listed here.

TOOLS NEEDED: Flat-blade screwdriver, ⁷⁄₁₆" and ¹⁄₂" open-end wrenches or 2 adjustable wrenches, ¹⁄₄" nut driver and drill bit, cordless drill.

IMPORTANT:

■ If you turn ON the refrigerator before the water line is

connected, turn OFF the ice maker.

■ 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.

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 B

DEF

D E

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

IMPORTANT: A cold water supply with water pressure between 30 and 120 psi (207 and 827 kPa) is required to operate the ice maker.

NOTE: If the water pressure is less than what is required, ice cubes could be hollow or irregular shaped.

If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, qualified plumber.

Reverse Osmosis Water Supply

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 to 414 kPa).

If the ice maker is still not operating properly:

■ 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.

Connect the Water Supply

Read all directions before you begin. IMPORTANT: If you turn ON the refrigerator before the water line

is connected, turn OFF the ice maker.

Connect to Water Line

7. Slip the compression sleeve and compression nut on the

copper tubing as shown. Insert the end of the tubing into the outlet end squarely as far as it will go. Screw compression nut onto outlet end with adjustable wrench. Do not overtighten.

8. Place the free end of the tubing in a container or sink, and turn

ON the main water supply. Flush the tubing until water is clear. Turn OFF the shutoff valve on the water pipe. Coil the copper tubing.

Connect to Refrigerator

1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

2. Attach the copper tubing to the valve inlet using a

compression nut and sleeve as shown. Tighten the compression nut. Do not overtighten.

3. Use the tube clamp on the back of the refrigerator to secure

the tubing to the refrigerator as shown. This will help avoid damage to the tubing when the refrigerator is pushed back against the wall.

4. Turn shutoff valve ON.

5. Check for leaks. Tighten any connections (including

connections at the valve) or nuts that leak.

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 ½" 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.

4. 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.

5. Using a cordless drill, drill a ¹⁄₄" hole in the cold water pipe you

have selected.

A. Cold water pipe B. Pipe clamp

C. Copper tubing

D. Compression nut

E. Compression sleeve F. Shutoff valve

G. Packing nut

6. Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water pipe with the pipe

clamp. Be sure the outlet end is solidly in the ¹⁄₄" drilled hole in the water pipe and that the washer is under the pipe clamp. Tighten the packing nut. Tighten the pipe clamp screws slowly and evenly so washer makes a watertight seal. Do not overtighten or you may crush the copper tubing.

Adjust the Doors

IMPORTANT: To comply with American Disabilities Act (ADA) guidelines, fully retract the rollers into the cabinet to lower the refrigerator.

Door Closing

Your refrigerator has two front adjustable rollers – one on the right and one on the left. If your refrigerator seems unsteady or you want the doors to close easier, adjust the refrigerator's tilt using the following instructions:

1. Remove the base grille. See the Base Grille graphic in

“Refrigerator Doors.” The two leveling screws are part of the front roller assemblies, which are at the base of the refrigerator on either side.

2. Use a socket driver 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 which makes it easier to adjust.

5. Using the cutout as a guide, press the brand badge onto the freezer door, making sure that the hole is completely covered.

6. Slowly remove the template.

3. Open both doors again to make sure they close as easily as

you like and that they stay closed. If not, tilt the refrigerator slightly more to the rear by turning both leveling screws to the right. It may take several more turns.

NOTE: To keep the refrigerator level, you should turn both leveling screws the same amount.

4. Replace the base grille.

Door Aligning

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

1. Depending on your model, remove the top hinge cover.

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

2. Have someone hold the door in place or put a spacer between

the doors while you tighten the top hinge screws.

3. Replace the top hinge cover, if removed in Step 1.

Install Air Filter

MONTHS

REPLACE

On some models, your refrigerator's accessory packet includes an air filter, which must be installed prior to use. On some models, the air filter is already installed at the factory.

The air filter reduces the buildup of odors. This helps to maintain a cleaner environment inside the refrigerator.

Installing the Air Filter

The filter should be installed behind the vented door, which is located (depending on your model) along either the rear or left interior wall near the top of the refrigerator compartment.

1. Remove the air filter from its packaging.

2. Lift open the vented door.

3. Snap the filter into place.

Air Filter Status Indicator

The filter comes with a status indicator, which should be activated and installed at the same time the air filter is installed.

Replacing the Air Filter

The disposable air filter should be replaced every 6 months. To order a replacement air filter, contact us using the

assistance/service information following the warranty.

1. Remove the old air filter by squeezing in on the side tabs.

2. Remove the old status indicator.

3. Install the new air filter and reset the status indicator using the

instructions in the previous sections.

REFRIGERATOR USE

Using the Controls

Your refrigerator has two controls that affect the temperature. The Temperature control is located at the top front of the refrigerator compartment, and the Airflow control is located on the back wall of the freezer compartment.

IMPORTANT:

■ The recommended setting should be correct for normal

household refrigerator use. The controls are set correctly when milk or juice is as cold as you like and when ice cream is firm.

■ Wait 24 hours for your refrigerator to cool completely before

adding food. If you add food before the refrigerator has cooled completely, your food may spoil.

NOTE: Adjusting the refrigerator and freezer temperature controls to a colder than recommended setting will not cool the compartments any faster.

■ 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 before adjusting the controls.

1. Place the indicator face-down on a firm, flat surface.

2. Apply pressure to the bubble on the back of the indicator, until

the bubble pops to activate the indicator.

3. Lift open the vented air filter door. On some models, there are notches behind the door.

On models with notches:

■ Slide the indicator down into the notches, facing outward.

NOTE: The indicator will not easily slide into the notches if the rear bubble has not been popped.

■ Close the air filter door, and check that the indicator is

visible through the rectangular hole in the door.

On models without notches:

■ Store the indicator in a visible place you will easily

remember - either inside the refrigerator, or elsewhere in your kitchen or home.

Temperature Control

For your convenience, the temperature control is preset at the factory. When you first install your refrigerator, make sure the control is still preset as shown.

Recommended Setting

Cooling Off/On

■ Press and hold TEMP for 3 seconds to turn cooling off. To turn

cooling back on, press and hold TEMP again for 3 seconds.

NOTE: Neither compartment will cool when the control is set to OFF.

Adjusting the Temperature Control

If you need to adjust the temperature in either the refrigerator or freezer compartment, use the settings listed in the chart below as a guide.

NOTE: Except when starting the refrigerator, do not adjust the control more than one setting at a time. Wait 24 hours between adjustments for the temperature to stabilize.

■ Press the TEMP button to toggle among the four LED lights

which indicate the temperature setting. Reading from left to right, the LED in the first position is the least cold. The LEDs indicate increasingly colder settings as you continue to the right until all four LEDs are illuminated.

NOTE: For the first to fourth setting, only one LED of the four LEDs will be lit. All four LEDs will be lit when you have reached the coldest setting.

Additional Feature

PowerCold™ Feature

The PowerCold™ feature assists with periods of high refrigerator use, full grocery loads or temporarily warm room temperatures.

■ Press the POWERCOLD button to set the freezer and

refrigerator to the lowest temperature settings. Press the POWERCOLD button again to return to the selected temperature set point.

NOTE: The PowerCold icon will be illuminated when PowerCold is selected. If you try to adjust the temperature when PowerCold is on, the PowerCold icon will blink three times and then turn off.

Ice Maker

(on some models - Accessory)

Turning the Ice Maker On/Off

NOTE: Do not force the wire shutoff arm up or down.

■ To turn on the ice maker, simply lower the wire shutoff arm.

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.

■ To manually turn off the ice maker, lift the wire shutoff arm to

the OFF (arm up) position and listen for the click to make sure the ice maker will not continue to operate.

NOTE: Turn off the ice maker before removing the ice storage bin to serve ice or to clean the bin. This will keep the ice cubes from dropping out of the ice maker and into the freezer compartment. After replacing the ice storage bin, turn on the ice maker.

Airflow Control

The Airflow control regulates the amount of air flowing between the freezer and the refrigerator compartments.

When you plug in the refrigerator for the first time, turn the Airflow control to the Recommended setting.

Adjusting the Airflow Control

If you want to temporarily increase the cold airflow to a specific compartment, adjust the control.

■ Max - Increase airflow to the freezer

■ Min - Increase airflow to the refrigerator

IMPORTANT: Once the performance is achieved, return the Airflow control to the Recommended setting to keep the refrigerator operating at optimum efficiency.

CONDITION/REASON: ADJUSTMENT:

Ice Production Rate

■ NORMAL Ice Production: The ice maker should produce

approximately 8 to 12 batches of ice in a 24-hour period. If ice is not being made fast enough, turn the Freezer Control toward a higher (colder) number in half number steps. (For example, if the control is at 3, move it to between 3 and 4.) Wait 24 hours and, if necessary, gradually turn the Freezer Control to the highest setting, waiting 24 hours between each increase.

■ MAXIMUM Ice Production (on some models): The ice maker

should produce approximately 16 to 20 batches of ice in a 24-hour period. If your refrigerator has the maximum ice production feature, push the switch to MAX.

Remember

■ Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Allow 3 days

to completely fill the ice storage bin. Discard the first three batches of ice produced.

■ 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.

■ Do not store anything on top of the ice maker or in the ice

storage bin.

Heavy ice use Max Hot room temperature Max - To maintain ice making

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. Seal the package or container securely to avoid taste and odor transfer throughout the product. 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 to 1,350 g per L] of freezer space). Leave enough space in the freezer for air to circulate around packages. The freezer door must close tightly.

NOTE: For more information on preparing food for freezing, check a freezer guide or reliable cookbook.

■ Control is not turned on - Turn on the refrigerator control.

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

NOTE: Adjusting the temperature control(s) to coldest setting will not cool the refrigerator more quickly.

Your new refrigerator may run longer than your old one. Energy efficient refrigerators run longer at lower, more energy efficient speeds. Your refrigerator may run even longer if the room is warm, a large food load is added, the door is opened often, or if the door has been left open.

Refrigerator noise has been reduced over the years. Due to this reduction in operating noise, you may notice unfamiliar noises that are normal. Following are some normal sounds with an explanation:

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

■ Clicking/Snapping - valves opening or closing

■ 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 ice melts during the defrost cycle and water runs into the drain pan

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

If you experience Possible Causes and/or Recommended Solutions

The door will not close completely

The door is difficult to open

Temperature is too warm

There is interior moisture buildup

position. Make sure the crisper cover is fully pushed in, so that the back rests on the supports.

■ Gaskets are dirty or sticky - Clean gaskets and contact surfaces with mild soap and warm water. Rinse and

dry with soft cloth.

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

■ Door(s) opened often or not closed completely - Allows warm air to enter refrigerator. Minimize door

openings and keep doors fully closed.

■ A large amount of warm food has been recently added - Allow several hours for refrigerator to return to

normal temperature.

■ Check that the Temperature Control(s) are set correctly for the surrounding conditions - Adjust the

controls to one setting colder. Check temperature in 24 hours. See “Using the Control(s).”

■ Humid room - Contributes to moisture buildup in the refrigerator.

■ Door(s) opened often or not closed completely - Allows humid air to enter the refrigerator. Minimize door

openings and keep door fully closed.

■ The ice maker is not connected to a water supply - Connect refrigerator to water supply and turn water

shutoff valve fully open.

■ A kink in the line can reduce water flow - Straighten the water source line.

■ Ice maker is not turned on - Make sure the ice maker 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 3 days for full

ice production.

■ Large amount of ice recently removed - Allow sufficient time 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.

■ A reverse osmosis water filtration system connected to your cold water supply can decrease water

pressure - See “Water Supply Requirements.”

The ice cubes are hollow or small (on some models)

NOTE: This is an indication of low water pressure.

Off-taste, odor or gray color in the ice (on some models)

■ The water valve is not completely open - Turn the water shutoff valve fully open.

■ A kink in the line can reduce water flow - Straighten the water source line.

■ A reverse osmosis water filtration system connected to your cold water supply can decrease water

pressure - See “Water Supply Requirements.”

■ If questions regarding water pressure remain, call a licensed, qualified plumber.

■ New plumbing connections can cause discolored or off-flavored ice - Discard the ice and wash the ice

storage bin. Allow 24 hours for the ice maker to make new ice, and discard the first three batches of ice produced.

■ Ice stored too long can develop an off-taste - Discard ice. Wash ice bin. Allow 24 hours for ice maker to

make new ice.

■ Food odor transferring to ice - Use airtight, moisture proof packaging to store food.

■ There are minerals (such as sulfur) in the water - A water filter may need to be installed to remove the
