■

Disconnect power before installing ice maker (on ice maker

kit ready models only).

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: 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 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

WARNING

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.

Power On/Off Switch

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.

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.

A. Power On/Off switch

Water Supply Requirements

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. If your 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 OFF. See “Ice Maker and Storage Bin.”

■ All installations must meet local plumbing code requirements.

Normal Sounds

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 is equipped 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. If you 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.

Ensuring Proper Air Circulation

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. If the 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.

Using the Controls

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 in the 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 0°F (-18°C)

for the freezer and 37°F (3°C) for the refrigerator.

Turning Refrigerator On and Viewing Set Points

■ Press and hold POWER (ON/OFF) for 2 seconds.

NOTE: The set point range for the freezer is -5°F to 6°F (-21°C to

-14°C). The set point range for the refrigerator is 34°F to 46°F (1°C to 8°C).

10 percent Order replacement filter 0 percent or flow decreases Replace filter

■ After replacing the water filter, press RESET and hold for

2 seconds to change the water filter display to 99 percent.

Holiday Feature

The Holiday feature is designed for the traveler or for those whose religious observances require turning 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.

■ Press HOLIDAY to turn on the Holiday feature. This feature

will remain on until the Holiday key is pressed again.

NOTE: If the Max Cool feature has been selected prior to turning on the Holiday feature, then the set points will remain at 34°F (1°C) and -5°F (-21°C) for the refrigerator and freezer compartments, respectively, until the Max Cool feature times out. The refrigerator will then return to the previous temperature set points chosen prior to the selection of the Max Cool feature, but the lights and ice maker will remain off until the Holiday key is pressed again.

Water Filter Status

The water filter status display will help you know when to change the water filter. The display is located at the top of the refrigerator compartment.

A new water filter should display a reading of 99%. The reading in the display will decrease as the filter life is used. When the display reads 10%, it is time to order a replacement water filter. It is recommended that you replace the filter when the filter display changes to 0% OR when water flow to your water dispenser or ice maker decreases noticeably. See “Changing the Water Filter” later in this section.

3. Take the new water filter out of its packaging and remove the

protective cover from the O-rings. Discard the protective cover.

4. Slide the cap (removed in Step 2) onto the new filter. See

illustration in Step 2.

5. With cap in the vertical position, push the new water filter into

the base grille until it stops. Rotate the cap clockwise to a horizontal position. Discard the first three batches of ice produced after replacing the filter.

Using the Ice Maker Without a Water Filter

After changing the water filter, press and hold RESET for 2 seconds until the status display changes to 99%.

Water Filtration System

1. Locate the water filter cap in the front base grille. Rotate the

cap counterclockwise to a vertical position and pull the cap and filter cartridge out through the base grille.

NOTE: There will be water in the filter. Some spilling may occur.

2. Remove the cap by sliding it off the end of the used filter. The

cap will slide to the left or right. IMPORTANT: Do not discard the cap. It is part of your

refrigerator. Keep the cap to use with the replacement filter.

You can operate the ice maker without a water filter. Your ice will not be filtered.

1. Remove the water filter.

2. Slide the cap off the end of the filter. With the cap in the

vertical position, insert the cap into the base grille until it stops.

IMPORTANT: Do not discard the cap. It is part of your refrigerator. Keep the cap to use with the replacement filter.

3. Rotate the cap to a horizontal position. The cap might not be

even with the base grille.

Ice Maker and Storage Bin

Turn the Ice Maker On/Off

The On/Off switch for the ice maker is a wire shutoff arm located on the side of the ice maker.

1. 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.

2. 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.

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

storage bin.

■ It may take 3 to 4 days for the ice bin to completely fill, if no

ice is used.

REFRIGERATOR FEATURES

Refrigerator Shelves

Important information to know about glass shelves and covers:

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

1. 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.

Lower front of basket

4. Turn on ice maker.

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 lbs 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

Door Bins

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

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 lbs (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 4days.

■ 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. If you 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 OFF. See the “Using the Controls” section.

5. Unplug refrigerator.

6. Empty water from the defrost pan.

7. Clean, wipe, and dry thoroughly.

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

Try the 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.

Your refrigerator will not operate

WARNING

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.

■ Is the power supply cord unplugged? Plug into a grounded

3 prong outlet.

■ Has a household fuse or circuit breaker tripped? Replace

the fuse or reset the circuit breaker.

■ Is the refrigerator or freezer control turned to the OFF

position? See “Using the Control(s).”

■ Is the refrigerator defrosting? Recheck to see if the

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 lbs (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?

Remove the ice from the ejector arm with a plastic utensil. See “Ice Maker and Storage Bin.”

■ Does the ice maker mold have water in it or has no ice

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 in the 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 is warm

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.”

■ Are the pans, shelves, bins, or baskets out of position?

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

WARNING

■ 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.

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

■ Are the gaskets dirty or sticky? Clean gaskets according to

the directions in “Cleaning.”
