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.

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.

Proper Disposal of Your Old Refrigerator

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

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.

Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system.

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.

■ 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.

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.

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.”

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.

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).

Water System Preparation

Please read before using the water system. Follow the directions specific to your model.

Style 1 – Dispenser Models

IMPORTANT: After connecting the refrigerator to a water source

or replacing the water filter, follow the steps below to make sure that the water system is properly cleaned. This will flush air from the filter and water dispensing system, and prepare the water filter for use.

The On/Off switch is located on the top right side of the freezer compartment.

1. Open the freezer door and turn off the ice maker. Move the

switch to the OFF (right) setting as shown.

NOTE: If your model has a base grille filter system, make sure the base grille filter is properly installed and the cap is in the horizontal position.

Alarm Functions

Master Alarm Reset

Pressing Alarm Reset once will turn off the audio alarm and indicator light. The audio alarm will not sound again for the current condition that caused the alarm until a new condition occurs or until a Master Alarm Reset is performed.

A Master Alarm Reset can be performed by pressing Cooling (ON/OFF) twice or by turning the power to the refrigerator off and on again. See “Power On/Off Switch.” After performing a Master Alarm Reset, the indicator light will reactivate if the condition that caused the alarm is still present. See “Over Temperature,” “Call Service,” or “Door Open.”

Door Open

The Door Open indicator light will flash, an alarm will sound and the interior lights will turn off when a door has been open for longer than 10 minutes. When the door is closed, the audio alarm will reset and turn off, but the Door Open indicator light will continue to flash until the temperature is equal to or below 45°F (7°C) and 15°F (-9°C) for the refrigerator and freezer compartments, respectively.

NOTE: To deactivate the audio alarm and indicator light, see “Master Alarm Reset.”

Dispenser Panel (on some models)

In Holiday Mode, the dispenser pads are disabled and the dispenser lights turn off.

■ To turn on Holiday Mode, press and hold ICE, LIGHT and

LOCKOUT at the same time for 3 seconds. When the feature turns on, the indicator light around the LOCKOUT button will blink and “HOL” will appear on the dispenser display.

■ To turn off Holiday Mode, press and hold ICE, LIGHT and

LOCKOUT at the same time for 3 seconds again.

Over Temperature

IMPORTANT: If the Over Temperature Alarm activates, your food

may spoil. See the “Power Interruptions.” Minimize door openings until temperatures return to normal.

The Over Temperature feature is designed to let you know when either the refrigerator temperature rises above 48°F (9°C) or the freezer temperature rises above 15°F (-9°C) for longer than 1¹⁄₂ hours. The audio alarm will shut off automatically when the temperature returns to normal, but the indicator light will continue to flash until the Alarm is pressed to let you know that an over temperature condition has occurred.

If the over temperature condition is still present when an Over Temperature Reset is performed, the indicator light will continue to reactivate every 1¹⁄₂ hours until refrigerator and freezer temperatures are below 48°F (9°C) and 15°F (-9°C), respectively.

NOTE: The audio alarm will be disabled for subsequent occurrences of over temperature alarm condition. To enable the audio alarm, see “Master Alarm Reset.”

Holiday Mode

The Holiday Mode 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 and Deli Pan settings 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 Holiday Mode when it is no longer required.

IMPORTANT: To fully activate Holiday Mode, see the following instructions for both the control panel and dispenser panel (on some models). If you do not activate Holiday Mode in both ways listed below, some functions you wish to disable will remain active.

Control Panel

In Holiday Mode, the temperature set points remain unchanged and the interior lights turn off.

■ Press HOLIDAY to turn On/Off the Holiday Mode feature.

NOTE: If the Super feature has been selected prior to turning on the Holiday Mode 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 Super feature times out in 24 hours. The refrigerator will then return to the previous temperature set points chosen prior to the selection of the Super feature. The lights and ice maker, however, will remain off until HOLIDAY is pressed again.

Water and Ice Dispensers

(on some models)

IMPORTANT:

■ After connecting the refrigerator to a water source or

replacing the water filter, flush the water system. Use a sturdy container to depress and hold the water dispenser lever for 5 seconds, then release it for 5 seconds. Repeat until water begins to flow. Once water begins to flow, continue depressing and releasing the dispenser lever (5 seconds on, 5 seconds off) until a total of 3 gal. (12 L) has been dispensed. This will flush air from the filter and water dispensing system, and prepare the water filter for use. Additional flushing may be required in some households.

NOTE: As air is cleared from the system, water may spurt out of the dispenser.

■ Allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to cool down and chill

water.

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

first three batches of ice produced.

■ The dispensing system will not operate when the freezer door

is open.

■ Depending on your model, the water and ice dispensers may

have one or more of the following features: a water level indicator in the dispenser tray, a light that turns on when you use the dispenser, and a lock option to avoid unintentional dispensing.

Water Dispenser

To Disp ens e Wat er:

1. Press a sturdy glass against the water dispenser pad.

NOTES:

■ While dispensing water and for 3 seconds after

dispensing has stopped, the digital display will show how many ounces of water have been dispensed.

■ To switch from ounces to cups, press and hold ICE and

LOCK at the same time until the dispenser beeps after 3 seconds. To switch from cups to liters, press and hold the buttons for another 3 seconds. To switch back to ounces, repeat the process a third time.

2. Remove the glass to stop dispensing. NOTE: Water may have an off-flavor if you do not use the

dispenser periodically. Dispense enough water every week to maintain a fresh supply.

Ice Dispenser

Cut Hazard Use a sturdy glass when dispensing ice. Failure to do so can result in cuts.

WARNING

Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system.

Dispenser Light (on some models)

Ice dispenses from the ice maker storage bin in the freezer when the dispenser pad is pressed. The dispensing system will not operate when the freezer door is open. To turn off the ice maker, see “Ice Maker and Storage Bin.”

Your ice maker can produce both crushed and cubed ice. The display screen reads “CRUSHED” or “CUBED,” indicating which type is selected. To change the setting, press the ICE button before dispensing ice.

For crushed ice, cubes are crushed before being dispensed. This may cause a slight delay when dispensing crushed ice. Noise from the ice crusher is normal, and pieces of ice may vary in size. When changing from crushed to cubed, a few ounces of crushed ice will be dispensed along with the first cubes.

To Dispense Ice:

1. Press the button to select the desired type of ice.

2. Press a sturdy glass against the ice dispenser pad. Hold the

glass close to the dispenser opening so ice does not fall outside of the glass.

When you use the dispenser, the light will automatically turn on. If you want the light to be on continuously, you may choose either ON or AUTO.

ON: Press LIGHT to turn the dispenser light on. AUTO: Press LIGHT a second time to select AUTO mode. The

dispenser light will automatically adjust to become brighter as the room brightens, dimmer as the room darkens.

OFF: Press LIGHT a third time to turn the dispenser light off. The dispenser lights are LEDs that cannot be changed. If it

appears that your dispenser lights are not working, be sure that the light sensor is not blocked (in AUTO mode). See “Troubleshooting” for more information.

Dispenser Lock (on some models)

The dispenser can be turned off for easy cleaning or to avoid unintentional dispensing by small children and pets.

NOTE: The lock feature does not shut off power to the product, to the ice maker, or to the dispenser light. It simply deactivates the ice and water dispensers. To turn off the ice maker, see “Ice Maker and Storage Bin.”

■ Press and hold LOCK for 3 seconds to lock the dispenser.

While the dispenser is locking, “LOCKING” will appear on the display screen and the blue indicator light around the LOCK button will flash. When the dispenser is locked, the indicator light will change to red for a few seconds, then turn off.

■ Press and hold LOCK a second time to unlock the dispenser.

While the dispenser is unlocking, “UNLOCKING” will appear on the display screen and the red indicator light around the LOCK button will flash. When the dispenser is unlocked, the indicator light will change to blue for a few seconds, then turn off.

IMPORTANT: You do not need to apply a lot of pressure to the pad in order to activate the ice dispenser. Pressing hard will not make the ice dispense faster or in greater quantities.

3. Remove the glass to stop dispensing. NOTE: Ice may continue to dispense for up to 10 seconds

after removing the glass from the pad. The dispenser may continue to make noise for a few seconds after dispensing.

Dispenser Tray with Water Level Indicator (on some models)

Your dispenser may include a small tray at the bottom of the dispenser. It is designed to catch small spills and allow for easy cleaning. The tray can be removed from the dispenser to be emptied or cleaned.

NOTE: There is no drain in the tray. When the tray is full of water and needs to be emptied, a small red indicator pops up at the back of the tray.

Water Filtration System

Water Filter Status

IMPORTANT: Replace the disposable water filter when indicated

or at least every 6 months. If water flow to the dispenser or ice maker decreases noticeably, change the water filter sooner.

Ice Maker and Storage Bin

(on some models - Accessory)

Style 1

To 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 the ice maker on, 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 the ice maker off, 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.

To Remove and Replace the Ice Bin:

1. Flip up the covering panel.

2. To manually turn the ice maker off, slide the control to the

OFF (right) position.

To Remove and Replace the Ice Storage Bin:

1. Hold the base of the storage bin with both hands and press

the release button to lift the storage bin up and out. NOTE: It is not necessary to turn the ice maker control to the

OFF (right) position when removing the storage bin. The sensor cover (“flipper door”) on the left wall of the freezer stops the ice maker from producing ice if the door is open or the storage bin is removed.

2. Replace the storage bin on the door and push down to make

sure it is securely in place.

Clean the Ice Storage Bin

NOTE: It is normal for ice to stick together in the ice bin. Ice may

be dispensed or used more frequently which will break up the ice. It is recommended that the ice container be emptied and cleaned as needed.

To clean the ice storage bin:

A. Ice maker cover

2. Lift the wire shutoff arm so it clicks into the OFF (up) position. Ice can still be dispensed, but no more can be made.

3. Lift up the front of the storage bin and pull the ice bin forward.

4. Replace the bin by pushing it in all the way or the dispenser

will not work. Push the wire shutoff arm down to the ON position to restart ice production. Make sure the door is closed tightly.

Style 2

To Turn the Ice Maker On/Off:

The On/Off switch is located on the top right side of the freezer compartment.

1. To turn the ice maker on, slide the control to the ON (left) position.

NOTE: Your ice maker has an automatic shutoff. The ice maker sensors will automatically stop ice production, but the control will remain in the ON (left) position.

1. Empty the ice container. Use warm water to melt the ice if

necessary. NOTE: Do not use anything sharp to break up the ice in the

bin or bucket. 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. Allow 3 days

to completely fill ice container.

■ 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.

■ For Style 1 ice maker, do not force the wire shutoff arm up or

down.

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

storage bin/bucket.

REFRIGERATOR FEATURES

Important information to know about glass shelves and covers:

Refrigerator Shelves

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.

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.

Remove and Replace the Deli Pan Cover

1. Remove the food from the deli pan cover.

2. Pull the pan out about 4" (10.2 cm). Reach under the glass

shelf with both hands and lift gently upward until back of shelf is free.

3. Tilt the shelf at an angle and remove the shelf from the

refrigerator. Do not bump the glass.

3. Place the back of the shelf in the shelf supports.

4. Lower the front of the shelf and check to make sure that it is

securely in position.

Deli Pan

The deli pan can be used to store a variety of food items including dairy, produce and fresh meat.

NOTE: The temperature in the deli pan can be set to meet the National Livestock and Meat Board recommended storage temperature range of 28°F to 32°F (-2°C to 0°C) for fresh meats.

The control for the Deli Pan adjusts the temperature of the pan not the temperature of the refrigerator. Cold air flows into the pan through the air duct between the freezer and the refrigerator. Adjusting the control allows more or less cold air through the air duct.

4. Replace the deli pan cover. Hold the deli pan cover firmly with

both hands. Tilt the cover at an angle and position it above the shelf supports. Set the shelf gently on supports.

Meat Storage Guide

Store most meat in original wrapping as long as it is airtight and moisture-proof. Rewrap if necessary. See the following chart for storage times. When storing meat longer than the times given, freeze the meat.

Fresh fish or shellfish.........................use same day as purchased

Chicken, ground beef, variety meat (liver, etc.) ................1-2 days

Cold cuts, steaks/roasts ..................................................3-5 days

Cured meats................................................................... 7-10 days

Leftovers - Cover leftovers with plastic wrap, aluminum foil, or plastic containers with tight lids.

Crisper Drawers and Covers

Remove and Replace the Crisper Drawers

1. Slide the crisper drawer straight out to the stop. Lift the front

of the drawer with one hand while supporting the bottom of the drawer with your other hand and slide the drawer out the rest of the way.

FREEZER FEATURES

Freezer Shelf

1. Remove the shelf by lifting it up and pulling it straight out.

2. Replace the shelf by putting it over the supports and lowering

it into place.

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

Freezer Basket

The freezer basket can be used to store bags of frozen fruits and vegetables that may slide off freezer shelves.

Remove and Replace the Freezer Basket

1. Pull the basket forward out to the stop.

2. Lift the front of the basket and slide it out the rest of the way.

3. Replace the basket by positioning it on the side wall guide

rails. Lift the basket front slightly while pushing it past the guide rail stops and slide basket in the rest of the way.

DOOR FEATURES

WARNING

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

Large door bins hold gallon containers and the smaller door bins hold 2-liter bottles. The door bins are adjustable and removable for easy cleaning and adjusting.

Power Interruptions

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 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.

Vac ation Ca re

Your refrigerator is equipped with the Holiday Mode 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.
