Proper Disposal of

WARNING

Suffocation Hazard Remove doors from your old refrigerator. Failure to do so can result in death or brain damage.

WARNING

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move and install refrigerator.

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

When Moving Your Refrigerator:

Your refrigerator is heavy. When moving the refrigerator for cleaning or service, be sure to cover the floor with cardboard or hardboard to avoid floor damage. 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.

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.

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.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Unpack the Refrigerator

Before You Throw Away Your Old Refrigerator or Freezer:

■ Take off the doo rs.

■ Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily

climb inside.

Remove packaging materials. 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.”

NOTE: A leveler bracket is mounted behind the bottom hinge. If you remove the hinge, make sure that the leveler bracket is replaced when reinstalling the hinge.

Replace the Doors and Hinges

1. Replace the bottom right hinge, if removed. Make sure that

the leveler bracket is assembled behind the hinge. Tighten screws.

NOTE: When the screws are tightened properly, there should not be any gaps between the refrigerator, leveler bracket and hinge.

2. Hold the freezer door in place in order to replace the bottom

left hinge. For easiest access, hold the door open 90°. Make sure that the leveler bracket is assembled behind the hinge. Tighten screws.

IMPORTANT: This requires two people — one to hold the freezer door and another to reinstall the hinge screws.

NOTE: When the screws are tightened properly, there should not be any gaps between the refrigerator, leveler bracket and hinge.

3. Once the bottom left hinge has been replaced, close the

freezer door and make sure it is properly seated on the hinge. Assistance may be needed.

NOTE: Provide additional support for the doors while the top hinges are being replaced. Do not depend on the door magnets to hold the doors in place while you are working.

4. Align and replace the top left hinge as shown. See Graphic 4.

Tighten screws.

5. Reconnect water tubing (on dispenser models) and wiring.

IMPORTANT: Do not intertwine the water tubing and wiring bundles when reconnecting them.

■ On dispenser models, reconnect the water tubing.

Water Connection Style 1: Push the larger ⁵⁄₁₆" (7.94 mm) water tube into the blue fitting until it stops, then push the smaller ¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm) water tube into the green fitting until it stops. See Graphic 2A.

Water Connection Style 2: Push the black water tube with the blue tip into the blue fitting until it stops. Close the clasp around the tubing, making sure it snaps into place. Repeat this process to connect the red-tipped black water tube and the red fitting. See Graphic 2B.

NOTE: On dispenser models with the ice storage bin on the freezer door, there are two wiring bundles that run underneath the freezer — a large bundle with a large grommet and two white plugs at the end, and a small bundle with a small grommet and one yellow plug at the end.

■ Reconnect the wiring plugs to the electrical housing. See

Graphic 3.

■ Reinstall the wiring clip over the grommets. On dispenser

models with the ice storage bin on the freezer door, first install the smaller grommet into the top of the clip, then install the larger grommet into the bottom of the clip (closest to the screw hole). See Graphic 3.

■ Align the clip's screw hole with the hole in the

refrigerator's base crossbar, and screw in the clip. Tighten screw. See Graphic 3.

IMPORTANT: Once connected, the wiring bundles should not be taut. Some flexibility is needed to allow the freezer door to open properly.

6. Replace the refrigerator door by lifting the door onto the

bottom right hinge.

7. Align and replace the top right hinge as shown. See Graphic 6.

Tighten screws.

8. Replace the ice storage bin and any adjustable door or utility

bins.

9. Plug refrigerator into a grounded (earthed) outlet.

Door Alignment

A refrigerator that is not level from side-to-side may appear to have doors that are not properly aligned. If the doors appear this way, use the instructions in the previous section to check the leveling.

The doors are designed to be slightly different heights when the refrigerator is empty, in order to account for the weight of food that will be placed on the doors. If the doors are still not aligned after checking the leveling and loading the refrigerator with food, follow the steps below to adjust the door alignment.

1. If necessary, open both doors to 90° and remove the base

grille. See Graphic 1.

2. Locate the alignment screw on the bottom hinge of the

refrigerator door. See Graphic 9.

3. Use a ⁵⁄₁₆" open-ended or adjustable wrench to turn the screw.

To raise the refrigerator door, turn the screw to the right. To lower the door, turn the screw to the left.

4. Check that the doors are even at the top. If necessary,

continue to turn the alignment screw until the doors are aligned.

5. Open both doors to 90°. Replace the base grille. See

Graphic 1.

Handle Installation and Removal

PARTS INCLUDED: Door handles (2), ¹⁄₈" hex key, spare

setscrew(s)

To Install the Handles:

NOTE: The handle mounting setscrews are preinstalled in the

handle.

1. Remove the handles, which are packed inside the refrigerator. NOTE: To avoid scratching the finish, place the handles on a

towel or other soft surface.

2. Open the freezer door. On the refrigerator door, place the handle on the shoulder screws with the setscrews facing the freezer.

Leveling and Door Closing

Your refrigerator has two adjustable front feet — one on the right and one on the left. In most cases, the refrigerator should be steady when both feet are touching the floor. If your refrigerator seems unsteady or if you want the doors to close more easily, adjust the refrigerator's tilt using the instructions below:

1. Move the refrigerator into its final location. If necessary, open

both doors to 90° and remove the base grille. See Graphic 1.

2. The two leveling feet are located on the brackets on each side

of the product. See Graphic 8.

NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the refrigerator takes some weight off the leveling feet. This makes it easier to make adjustments.

3. Use a ¹⁄₄" open-ended or adjustable wrench to adjust the

leveling feet. Turn the leveling foot to the left to raise that side of the product, or turn it to the right to lower that side of the product.

4. Open both doors again and check that they close as easily as

you like. If not, tilt the refrigerator slightly more to the rear by turning the leveling feet to the left. It may take several more

3. Firmly push the handle toward the door until the handle base is flush against the door.

A. Shoulder screws B. Setscrews inside the handle

turns, and you should turn both leveling feet the same amount.

NOTE: Whenever you need to move the refrigerator, turn the leveling feet to the right until they are no longer touching the ground. This will allow the refrigerator to roll more easily.
