Proper Disposal (of 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 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.
Before Using your Refrigerator
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.”
CAUTION
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.
WARNING
Broken Glass Hazard
Protect glass surface and edges during installation or removal of doors.
Failure to do so can result in serious eye injury or minor cuts.

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.
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 System Preparation
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.
CAUTION
Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system.
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.
On/Off Control
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.”

To Remove Top Grille, reverse steps listed for installing the grille.
1.Grasp the grille at the bottom. Pull up slightly to unsnap from bottom pins.
2.Lift upward to remove grille from top pins.
IMPORTANT: Be sure the power switch is set to the ON position after cleaning refrigerator or changing the light bulbs.
■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.
