SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Important Safety Instructions

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.

Explosion Hazard

Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from refrigerator. Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

WARNING

Proper Disposal (of old refrigerator)

Getting Started

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 avoid 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.

Suffocation Hazard

Remove doors from your old refrigerator.

Failure to do so can result in death or brain damage.

WARNING

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.

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.”

Before Using your 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. 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.

CAUTION

Getting Started

Broken Glass Hazard

Do not hit refrigerator glass doors Protect glass surface and edges during installation or removal of doors. Failure to do so can result in serious eye injury or minor cuts.

WARNING

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.

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.

Water Supply Requirements

Getting Started

Please read before using the water system.

IMPORTANT

: After connecting the refrigerator to a water source or replacing the water filter, fill and discard two full containers of ice to prepare the water filter for use, before using the ice.

1. Turn on the ice maker. Slide the ice maker On/Off control, located

on the left-hand side of the ice bin, to the ON (up) position. Please refer to “Ice Maker and Storage Bin” for further instructions on the operation of your ice maker.

NOTE: Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice.

NOTE: If your model has a base grille water filter, make sure the water filter is properly installed so that the Eject button is out. See “Water Filtration System.”

Water System Preparation

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

■ 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 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.
