REFRIGERATORSAFETY

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.

(IVlPORTANT SAFETY (NSTRUCT(ONS

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

including the following:

m Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet. m Do not remove ground prong.

m Do not use an adapter. m Do not use an extension cord.

m Disconnect power before servicing. m Replace all parts and panels before operating. m Remove doors from your old refrigerator.

m Use nonflammable cleaner. m Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline,

away from refrigerator.

• Use two or more people to move and install refrigerator. m Disconnect power before installing ice maker (on ice maker

kit ready models only).

ProperDisposal ofYourOldRefrigerator

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.

INSTALLATIONINSTRUCTIONS

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move and install refrigerator.

Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

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."

• Properly dispose of packaging.

When Moving Your Refrigerator: Your refrigerator is heavy. When moving the refrigerator

for cieaning or service, be sure to protect the floor.

Always pull the refrigerator straight out when moving it. Do not wiggle or "walk" the refrigerator when trying to move it, as floor damage could occur.

Explosion Hazard

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

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

• Your refrigerator is designed for indoor household use only.

• To ensure proper ventilation for your refrigerator, allow for a 1/2"(1.25 cm) space at the top and behind the refrigerator.

• If your refrigerator has an ice maker, allow extra space at the back for the water line connections.

• When installing your refrigerator next to a fixed wall, leave 21/s'' (5.4 cm) minimum on each side (depending on your model) to allow for the door to swing open

NOTE: It is recommended that you do not install the refrigerator near an oven, radiator, or other heat source. Do not install the refrigerator in a location where the temperature will fall below 55°F (13°C).

Clean Before Using

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

important information to know about glass she_ves

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 specia! care when

removing them to avoid impact from dropping.

Emectrical Shock Hazard

Pmuginto a grounded 3 pror_g outleto Do not remove ground prong. Do not use ar_ adapter.

Do not use an extension cord. Failure to follow these }nstructione can reeumt }n death,

fire, or electrical shock.

Before you move your refrigerator into its final location, it is important to make sure you have the proper electrical

connection.

Recommended Grounding Method

A 115 Volt, 60 Hz., AC only 15- or 20-amp fused, grounded electrical supply is required. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only your refrigerator be provided. Use an outlet that cannot be turned off by a switch. Do not use an extension

cord. NOTE: Before performing any type of installation, cleaning, or

removing a light bulb, press the Freezer down arrow touch pad until a dash (-) appears in both the Freezer and Refrigerator displays as shown. Disconnect the refrigerator from the electrical

source.

coL_ FREEZER CO_ER Recommen@dSettings:4 COL_ REFRI6ERATOR COLDER

When you are finished, reconnect the refrigerator to the electrical source and reset the temperature controls to the desired setting. See "Using the Controls."

Read all directions before you begin. IMPORTANT:

• If you turn the refrigerator on before the water line is connected, turn the ice maker OFR

• All installations must meet local plumbing code requirements.

• Use copper tubing and check for leaks. Install copper tubing only in areas where the household temperatures will remain above freezing.

TOOLS NEEDED: Flat-blade screwdriver, 7/16"and 1/2"open-end wrenches or two adjustable wrenches, 1/,,,nut driver and drill bit, hand drill or electric drill (properly grounded).

NOTE: Your refrigerator dealer has a kit available with a 1/,,, (6.35 mm) saddle-type shutoff valve, a union, and copper tubing. Before purchasing, make sure a saddle-type valve complies with your local plumbing codes. Do not use a piercing-type or s/ld' (4.76 mm) saddle valve which reduces water flow and clogs more easily.

ColdestSettings:7

Water Pressure

A cold water supply with water pressure of between 35 and 100 psi (241 - 689 kPa) is required to operate the ice maker. If you have questions about your water pressure, 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 35 and 100 psi (241 - 689 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 approximately 60 psi (414 kPa).

If the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system is less than approximately 60 psi (414 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 you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, qualified plumber.

Connect to Water Line

1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

2. Turn OFF main water supply. Turn ON nearest faucet long

enough to clear line of water.

3. Find a 1/2"to 11/4'' (12.7 mm to 3.18 mm) vertical cold water pipe near the refrigerator.

IMPORTANT:

• Make sure it is a cold water pipe.

• Horizontal pipe will work, but the following procedure

must be followed: Drill on the top side of the pipe, not the bottom. This will help keep water away from the drill. This also keeps normal sediment from collecting in the valve.

To determine the length of copper tubing you will need, measure from connection on lower left rear of refrigerator to water pipe. Add 7 ft (2.1 m) to allow for moving refrigerator for cleaning. Use 1/,,,(6.35 mm) O.D. (outside diameter) copper tubing. Be sure both ends of copper tubing are cut square.

Using a grounded drill, drill a 1/,,,hole in the cold water pipe you have selected.

rollers. This makes it easier to turn the screws.

• To raise, turn the roller adjustment screw to the right.

• To lower, turn the roller adjustment screw to the left.

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.

The temperature controls are located at the top front of the refrigerator compartment.

For your convenience, your refrigerator and freezer controls are preset at the factory. When you first install your refrigerator, make sure that the refrigerator and freezer controls are still preset to the recommended setting as shown.

Recommended Setting "4"

poppingContractionand expansion of the inside walls may cause anoise. (_O(_ 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.

REFRIGERATORUSE

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.

COLD CO_D_R

FREEZER

IMPORTANT:

Toturn your refrigerator off, press the freezer down arrow touch pad until a dash (-) appears in both the refrigerator and freezer displays. Neither compartment will cool.

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

is firm. The refrigerator control adjusts the refrigerator compartment

temperature. The freezer control adjusts the freezer compartment temperature. The temperature control range for each compartment is 1 through 7 (coldest).

Wait 24 hours for your refrigerator to cool completely before adding food. If you add food before the refrigerator has cooled completely, your food may spoil.

NOTE: Adjusting the Refrigerator and Freezer Controls to a higher (colder) than recommended 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.

Do not block any of these vents with food packages. If the vents are blocked, airflow will be prevented 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 prevent odor transfer and drying out of food, wrap or cover foods tightly.

If you need to adjust the temperature in either the refrigerator or freezer compartment, use the settings listed in the chart below as a guide.

Press the up or down arrow touch pads to adjust the temperature. Except when starting the refrigerator, do not adjust either control more than one setting at a time. Wait 24 hours for the temperature to stabilize between adjustments.

_rnportant information to know about glass shelves

and covers:

Do not clean gIass 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.

Slide-out Shelves

Ice Production Rate

The ice maker should produce a complete batch of ice every 3 hours. If ice is not being made fast enough, turn the Freezer Control toward a higher (colder) number in steps. For example, if the control is at 3, move it to 4. Wait 24 hours and, if necessary, gradually turn the Freezer Control to the highest setting, waiting

24 hours between each increase.

REMEMBER:

• Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the first three batches of ice produced.

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.

• Do not store anything on top of the ice maker or in the ice storage bin.

• To slide out shelf, gently pull front of shelf toward you.

• To slide in shelf, push shelf in until it stops.

Shelves and Shelf Frames

To Remove and Replace a Shelf/Frame:

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

2. Replace the shelf/frame by guiding the rear shelf hooks into the shelf supports. Tilt the front of the shelf up until rear shelf hooks drop into the shelf supports.

3. Lower the front of the shelf and check to make sure that the shelf is securely in position.
