REFRIGERATOR SAFETY

Your safety and the safety of others are very important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety

messages.

This is the safety alert symbol.
This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.

All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word "DANGER" or "WARNING."

These words mean:

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately

follow instructions.

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

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

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using the refrigerator, follow basic precautions,

including the following:

• Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

• Do not remove ground prong.

• Do not use an adapter.

• Do not use an extension cord.

• Disconnect power before servicing.

• Replace all parts and panels before operating.

• Remove doors from your old refrigerator.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

• Use nonflammable cleaner.

• Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline,
away from refrigerator.

[] Use two or more people to move and install refrigerator.

• Disconnect power before installing ice maker (on ice maker
kit ready models only).

Proper Disposal of

Your Old Refrigerator

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

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." Ifyou 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 off the doors.

• Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily
climb inside.

BEFORE USE

Remove the Packaging

• If the ice storage bin is located on the door, remove the

temporary shield from underneath the ice storage bin. See
"Ice Maker and Storage Bin."

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.

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.

REFRIGERATOR USE

Clean Before Using

After you remove all of the packaging materials, clean the inside
of your refrigerator before using it. See the cleaning instructions
in "Refrigerator Care."

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.
For your protection, tempered glass is designed to shatter
into many small, pebble-size pieces. This is normal. Glass
shelves and covers are heavy. Use special care when
removing them to avoid impact from dropping.

If you need to turn the power to your refrigerator On or Off, you
must remove the top grille to gain access to the On/Off switch.
Turn the power to the refrigerator Off when cleaning your
refrigerator or changing light bulbs.

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.

[]

A. Power On/Off switch

Read all directions before you begin.

IMPORTANT:

• When your refrigerator was installed, the water connection
from the water source should have been connected to your
refrigerator. Ifyour refrigerator is not connected to a water
source, see "Connect to Water Line" in the Installation
Instructions. If you have any questions about your water
connection, see "Troubleshooting" or call a licensed, qualified
plumber.

• If you turn the refrigerator on before the water line is
connected, turn the ice maker OFR See "Ice Maker and
Storage Bin."

• All installations must meet local plumbing code requirements.

..... } _..........

Your new refrigerator may make sounds that your old one didn't
make. Because the sounds are new to you, you might be

concerned about them. Most of the new sounds are normal. Hard
surfaces, such as the floor, walls, and cabinets, can make the

sounds seem louder. The following describes the kinds of sounds
and what may be making them.

• If your refrigerator isequipped with an ice maker, you will hear
a buzzing sound when the water valve opens to fill the ice
maker for each cycle.

Your refrigerator is designed to run more efficiently to keep
your food items at the desired temperatures and to minimize
energy usage. The high efficiency compressor and fans may
cause your refrigerator to run longer than your old one. You
may also hear a pulsating or high-pitched sound from the
compressor or fans adjusting to optimize performance.

• You may hear the evaporator fan motor circulating air through
the refrigerator and freezer compartments. The fan speed
may increase as you open the doors or add warm food.

• Rattling noises may come from the flow of refrigerant, the
water line, or items stored on top of the refrigerator.

• Water dripping on the defrost heater during a defrost cycle
may cause a sizzling sound.

• As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to
the refrigerant flowing in your refrigerator.

• Contraction and expansion of the inside walls may cause a
popping noise.

• You may hear air being forced over the condenser by the
condenser fan.

• You may hear water running into the drain pan during the
defrost cycle.

Water Pressure

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. Ifyou 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
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."

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

/,; / _:::j \x , , ................. / /

In order to ensure proper temperatures, you need to permit
airflow between the refrigerator and freezer sections. As shown in
the illustration, cool air enters the freezer section through vents in
the rear and top. The air flows forward through the freezer section

and recirculates under the freezer floor. Cool air enters the
refrigerator section through the top, flows down and across

shelves to the doors and recirculates to return air vents at the
bottom.

Do not block any airflow vents. Ifthe vents are blocked, airflow
will be obstructed and temperature and moisture problems may

occur.

IMPORTANT: Because air circulates between both sections, any
odors formed in one section will transfer to the other. You must

thoroughly clean both sections to eliminate odors. To avoid odor
transfer and drying out of food, wrap or cover foods tightly.

i/_, _,_-_ +i,_ f_F_,-_ .... _,,

IMPORTANT:

• The refrigerator control adjusts the refrigerator compartment
temperature. The freezer control adjusts the freezer
compartment temperature.

Wait 24 hours after you turn on the refrigerator before you put
food into it. If you add food before the refrigerator has cooled
completely, your food may spoil.

NOTE: Adjusting the refrigerator and freezer controls to a
lower (colder) setting will not cool the compartments any

faster.
If the temperature is too warm or too cold inthe refrigerator or

freezer, first check the air vents to be sure they are not
blocked before adjusting the controls.

The preset settings should be correct for normal household
usage. The controls are set correctly when milk or juice is as
cold as you like and when ice cream is firm.

The actual temperature may differ from the display when a
door is open for an extended period of time.

NOTE: The factory recommended set points are O°F (-18°C)
for the freezer and 37°F (3°C) for the refrigerator.

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•
For your protection, tempered glass is designed to shatter
into many small, pebble-size pieces• This is normal• Glass
shelves and covers are heavy• Use special care when
removing them to avoid impact from dropping•

The shelves in your refrigerator are adjustable to meet your
individual storage needs.

Storing similar food items together in your refrigerator and
adjusting the shelves to fit different heights of items will make

finding the exact item you want easier• It will also reduce the
amount of time the refrigerator door is open, and save energy.

Ice Storage Bin Care

Empty the ice bin. Use warm water to melt the ice if
necessary•

NOTE: Do not use anything sharp to break up the ice in the
bin. This can cause damage to the ice container and the
dispenser mechanism.

2. Wash ice bin with a mild detergent, rinse well and dry
thoroughly• Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners or solvents.

Remember

• Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice.

• Discard the first three batches of ice produced to avoid
impurities that may be flushed out of the system.

• 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.

• It is normal for the ice cubes to be attached at the corners.
They will break apart easily.

• Do not force the wire shutoff arm up or down.

Shelves

1. Remove the shelf by tilting it up at the front and lifting it out of
the shelf supports. Pull shelf straight out.

2. Reposition the shelf supports in the desired location. Check
that they are level and securely in position•

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 Ibs of food per cubic foot

[907 to 1,350 g per 28 L] of freezer space). Leave enough space
in the freezer for air to circulate around packages. Be careful 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.

DOOR FEATURES REFRIGERATOR CARE

The top two door bins hold 2-liter bottles and are adjustable. The
bottom door bin is fixed and can hold gallon containers.

Explosion Hazard

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

Both the refrigerator and freezer sections defrost automatically.
However, clean both sections about once a month to avoid build-

up 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. Wash stainless steel and painted metal exteriors with a clean
sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water. Do
not use abrasive or harsh cleaners, or cleaners containing
chlorine. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. For additional
protection against damage to painted metal exteriors, apply
appliance wax (or auto paste wax) with a clean, soft cloth. Do
not wax plastic parts.

NOTE: To keep your Stainless Steel refrigerator looking like
new and to remove minor scuffs or marks, it is suggested that
you use the manufacturer's approved Stainless Steel Cleaner

& Polish.

v }.,

Your refrigerator is equipped with the Holiday 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 feature 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 the HOLIDAY pad.

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

4. Empty the ice bin.

5. When you return from vacation, press HOLIDAY 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, raise the wire shutoff arm

to the OFF (up) position.

3.

Depending on your model, turn the Thermostat Control
(or Refrigerator Control) to OFR See "Using Controls."

4.

Clean refrigerator, wipe it, and dry well.

5.

Tape rubber or wood blocks to the tops of both doors to prop
them open far enough for air to get in. This stops odor and
mold from building up.

Freezer Light

Reach behind the panel at the top of the freezer compartment
above the ice storage bin to remove and replace the light bulb.

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 Ibs (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. Ifyou 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.

Moving

When you are moving your refrigerator to a new home, follow
these steps to prepare it for the move.

1. If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker:

• Turn off the water supply to the ice maker at least one day
ahead of time.

• Disconnect the water line from the back of the
refrigerator.

• When the last load of ice drops, raise the wire shutoff arm
to the OFF (up) position or move the switch to the OFF
(right) setting.

2.

Remove all food from the refrigerator and pack all frozen food
in dry ice.

3.

Empty the ice bin.

4.

Depending on the model, turn the Thermostat Control or
Refrigerator Control to OFR See the "Using the Controls"

section.

5. Unplug refrigerator.

6. Empty water from the defrost pan.

7. Clean, wipe, and dry thoroughly.

11

8.

Take out all removable parts, wrap them well, and tape them
together so they don't shift and rattle during the move.

9.

Depending on the model, raise the front of the refrigerator so
it rolls more easily OR screw in the leveling legs so they don't
scrape the floor. See the "Level Refrigerator" section in the

Installation Instructions.

TROUBLESHOOTING

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

10. Tape the doors closed and tape the power cord to the
refrigerator cabinet.

When you get to your new home, put everything back and refer to
the Installation Instructions for preparation instructions. Also, if
your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker, remember to
reconnect the water supply to the refrigerator.

refrigerator is operating in 30 minutes. Your refrigerator will
regularly run an automatic defrost cycle.

is the refrigerator not cooling? For models with digital
controls, turn the unit OFF then ON again to reset. See "Using
the Control(s)." If this does not correct the problem, call for

service.

The lights do not work

• Is the refrigerator in "Holiday?" See "Holiday" feature. •

• Is a light bulb loose in the socket or burned out? See
"Changing the Light Bulb(s)."

• Has the door been open more than 10 minutes? When the •
door is held open for more than 10 minutes the interior lights
will shut off.

The motor seems to run too much

Is the room temperature hotter than normal? The motor

will run longer under warm conditions. At normal room
temperatures, expect your motor to run about 80% of the
time. Under warmer conditions, it will run even more.

Has a large amount of food just been added to the
refrigerator? Adding a large amount of food warms the

refrigerator. The motor normally will run longer to cool the
refrigerator back down.

Are the doors opened often? The motor will run longer
when this occurs. Conserve energy by getting all items out at
one time, keeping food organized, and closing the door as
soon as possible.

Are the controls not set correctly for the surrounding
conditions? See "Using the Control(s)."

Are the doors not closed completely? Close the doors
firmly. If they do not close completely, see "The doors will not
close completely" later in this section.

Are the door gaskets not sealed all the way around?
Contact a technician or other qualified person.

NOTE: Your new refrigerator will run longer than your old one
due to its high-efficiency motor.

The refrigerator seems to make too much noise

• The sounds may be normal for your refrigerator. See
"Normal Sounds."

The ice maker is not producing ice or not enough ice

• Has the ice maker just been installed? The ice bin holds
14 to 17 Ibs (6.4 to 7.7 kg) of ice. The ice bin can take three to
four days to completely fill, if no ice is used during this time.

Is the freezer temperature cold enough to produce ice?
Wait 24 hours after ice maker hookup for ice production. See
"Using the Control(s)."

Is the ice maker wire shutoff arm in the OFF (wire shutoff
arm up) position (on some models)? Lower wire shutoff arm

to the ON (wire shutoff arm down) position. See "Ice Maker
and Storage Bin."

Is the water line shutoff valve to the refrigerator not
turned on? Turn on the water valve. See "Connect Water Line

to Refrigerator" in the Installation Instructions.
Is an ice cube jammed in the ice maker ejector arm?

been produced? Make sure your refrigerator has been

connected to a water supply and the supply shutoff valve is
turned on. See "Connect Water Line to Refrigerator" in the

Installation Instructions.
Has a large amount of ice just been removed? Allow three

to four days for an empty ice bin to completely fill, if no ice is
used during this time.

Are the controls set correctly? See "Using the Control(s)."
Is there a water filter installed on the refrigerator? The

filter may be clogged or installed incorrectly. Check the filter
installation instructions to ensure that the filter was installed

correctly and is not clogged. If installation or clogging is not a
problem, call a technician or other qualified person,

NOTE: If not due to any of the above, there may be a problem
with the water line. Call for service.

Off-taste, odor or gray color inthe ice

There is interior moisture buildup

• Are the air vents blocked in the refrigerator? Remove any
objects from in front of the air vents. See "Ensuring Proper Air

Circulation" for the location of air vents.

• Are the door(s) opened often? Avoid humidity buildup by
getting all items out at one time, keeping food organized, and
closing the door as soon as possible.

• Is the room humid? It is normal for moisture to build up
inside the refrigerator when the room air is humid,

• Is the food packaged correctly? Check that all food is
securely wrapped. Wipe off damp food containers before
placing in the refrigerator.

• Are the controls set correctly for the surrounding
conditions? See "Using the Control(s),"

• Was a self-defrost cycle completed? It is normal for
droplets to form after the refrigerator self-defrosts.

• Are the plumbing connections new, causing discolored or
off-flavored ice? Discard the first few batches of ice.

• Have the ice cubes been stored too long? Throw old ice
away and make a new supply.

• Does the freezer and ice bin or bucket need to be
cleaned? See the "Cleaning" or "Ice Maker and Storage Bin."

• Has food in the freezer or refrigerator been wrapped
properly? Use airtight, moisture-proof packaging to avoid

odor transfer from stored food.

• Does the water contain minerals (such as sulfur)? A filter
may need to be installed to remove the minerals,

Is there a water filter installed on the refrigerator? Gray or
dark discoloration in ice indicates that the water filtration

system needs additional flushing. Run additional water
through the water dispenser to flush the water filtration
system more thoroughly (at least 6 qt [5.7 L] or 3 to 4 minutes
initially), Discard discolored ice.

The divider between the two compartments iswarm

The warmth is probably due to normal operation of the

automatic exterior moisture control. If still concerned, call for
service.

Temperature is too warm

The doors will not close completely

• Are food packages blocking the door open? Rearrange
containers so that they fit more tightly and take up less

space,
Is the ice bin out of position? Push the ice bin in all the way.

If the ice bin does not go in all the way, it may not be put in
straight. Pull it out and try again. See "Ice Maker and Storage

Bin,"

Put the crisper cover and all pans, shelves, bins, and baskets
back into their correct positions. See "Crisper Drawer and

Cover."

• Does the refrigerator wobble or seem unstable? Level the
refrigerator. See "Adjust Doors" and "Level Refrigerator" in

the Installation Instructions.

The doors are difficult to open

Are the air vents blocked in either compartment? This

obstructs cold air movement between the compartments,
Remove any objects from in front of the air vents. See

"Ensuring Proper Air Circulation" for the location of air vents.
Are the door(s) opened often? The refrigerator will warm

when this occurs. Keep the refrigerator cool by getting all
items out at one time, keeping food organized, and closing
the door as soon as possible,

Has a large amount of food just been added to the
refrigerator or freezer? Adding a large amount of food

warms the refrigerator. It can take several hours for the
refrigerator to return to the normal temperature,

Are the controls set correctly for the surrounding
conditions? See "Using the Control(s)."

Is the refrigerator not cooling? For models with digital
controls, turn the unit OFF then ON again to reset. See "Using

the Control(s)." If this does not correct the problem, call for
service.
