TOOO LO QUE IMAGINAS"
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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury when using your refrigerator, follow these basic precautions:
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Disconnect power before servicing.
Replace all parts and panels before operating.
Remove doors from your old refrigerator.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Use nonflammable cleaner.
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from refrigerator.
Use two or more people to move and install refrigerator.
Disconnect power before installing ice maker (on ice maker
kit ready models only).
Use a sturdy glass when dispensing ice or water (on some
models).
ProperDisposal ofYourOldRefrigerator
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." 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
NOTE: It is recommended that you do not install the refrigerator near an oven, radiator, or other heat source. Do not install in a location where the temperature will fall below 55°F (13°C).
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 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 the "Refrigerator Safety" section.
When Moving Your Refrigerator: Your refrigerator is heavy. When moving the refrigerator
for cleaning 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.
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. 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.

2" (5.08 cm)
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.
To ensure proper ventilation for your refrigerator, allow for 1/2"
(1.25 cm) space on each side and at the top. When installing your refrigerator next to a fixed wall, leave 2" (5.08 cm) minimum on
each side (depending on your model) to allow for the door to swing open. If your refrigerator has an ice maker, allow extra space at the back for the water line connections.
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, turn the control (Thermostat, Refrigerator or Freezer Control depending on the model) to OFF and then
disconnect the refrigerator from the electrical source. When you are finished, reconnect the refrigerator to the electrical source and reset the control (Thermostat, Refrigerator or Freezer Control
depending on the model) to the desired setting.

IMPORTANT:
Your product will not cool when the REFRIGERATOR Control
is set to OFE
The Refrigerator Control adjusts the refrigerator compartment temperature. The Freezer Control adjusts the freezer compartment temperature. Settings to the left of the mid-
setting make the temperature less cold. Settings to the right of the mid-setting make the temperature colder•
Wait 24 hours before you put food into the refrigerator. 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.
Adjusting Controls
Give the refrigerator time to cool down completely before adding
food. It is best to wait 24 hours before you put food into the
refrigerator. The settings indicated in the previous section should be correct for normal household refrigerator usage. The controls are set correctly when milk or juice is as cold as you like and when
ice cream is firm. If you need to adjust temperatures in the refrigerator or freezer,
use the settings listed in the chart below as a guide. Wait at least 24 hours between adjustments.
CONDITION/REASON: ADJUSTMENT:
REFRIGERATOR too warm REFRIGERATOR
Control one setting higher
FREEZER too warm/too little ice FREEZER Control
one setting higher
REFRIGERATOR too cold REFRIGERATOR
Control one setting lower
FREEZER too cold FREEZER Control
one setting lower
The control can be adjusted to properly chill meats or vegetables. The air inside the pan is cooled to prevent "spot" freezing and can
be set to keep meats at the National Livestock and Meat Board recommended storage temperatures of 28°- 32°F (-2°- 0°C). The
convertible vegetable/meat drawer control comes preset at the lowest meat setting.
To store meat:
Set the control to one of the three MEAT settings to store meat at its optimal storage temperature.
To store vegetables:
Set the control to VEG to store vegetables at their optimal storage
temperatures.
NOTE: If food starts to freeze, move the control to the left (less cold). Remember to wait 24 hours between adjustments.
You can control the amount of humidity in the moisture-sealed crisper. Adjust the control to any setting between LOW and HIGH.
LOW (open) for best storage of fruits and vegetables with skins. HIGH (closed) for best storage of fresh, leafy vegetables.
Cut Hazard
Use a sturdy glass when dispensing ice or water. Failure to do so can result in cuts.
The Water Dispenser
IMPORTANT:
The dispensing system will not operate when the freezer door is open.
After connecting the refrigerator to a water source, flush the water system by dispensing water into a sturdy container until you draw and discard 2 to 3 gal. (8 to 12 L) of water, or for
approximately 5 minutes after the water begins dispensing. The flushing process cleans the water system and clears air from the lines. As the air is cleared from the lines, water may
spurt out of the dispenser.
Allow several hours for the refrigerator to cool down and chill water.
Dispense enough water every week to maintain a fresh supply.
To Dispense Water:
1. Press a sturdy glass against the water dispenser lever.
2. Remove the glass to stop dispensing.
The Ice Dispenser
The dispensing system will not operate when the freezer door is open. Ice dispenses from the ice maker storage bin in the freezer
when the dispenser lever is pressed. Depending on your model, you may have one or more of the
following options: the ability to select either crushed or cubed ice, a special light that turns on when you use the dispenser, or a lock
option to avoid unintentional dispensing. NOTE: Some models dispense both cubed and crushed ice.
Before dispensing ice, select which type of ice you prefer. 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 crush to cube, 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 lever. Hold the glass close to the dispenser opening so ice does not fall outside of the glass.
IMPORTANT: You do not need to apply a lot of pressure to the lever 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.
The Dispenser Light
Removing and Replacing Ice Storage Bin
Style 1: The dispenser light can be turned on by pressing the ON
button. Style 2: When you use the dispenser, the lever will automatically
turn the light on. If you want the light to be on continuously, you
may choose either ON or NIGHT LIGHT. ON: Press the LIGHT button to turn the dispenser light on.
NIGHT LIGHT: Press the LIGHT button a second time to select
the Night Light. The dispenser light will automatically adjust to
become brighter as the room brightens, dimmer as the room darkens.
OFF: Press the LIGHT button a third time to turn the dispenser light off.
The dispenser lights are LEDs which should not need to be
changed. If it appears that your dispenser lights are not working, check to be sure that the light sensor is not blocked (in Night Light mode). See "Troubleshooting" for more information.
The Dispenser Lock (on some models)
Your dispenser can be turned off for easy cleaning or to prevent 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
dispenser levers. The ice and water dispensers will not work. Style 1: Press the LOCK button to lock the dispenser. Press the
UNLOCK button to unlock the dispenser. Style 2: Press and hold the LOCK OUT button to lock the
dispenser. Press and hold the LOCK OUT button a second time to unlock the dispenser.
1. Pull the covering panel out from the bottom and then slide it back toward the rear.
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 it out.
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.
NOTE: Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or
after the system. Systems certified for cyst reduction may be used on disinfected waters that may contain filterable cysts.
Water Filter Status Light (on some models)
The filter status light will help you know when to change your water filter. The light will change from green to yellow. This tells
you that it is almost time to change the filter. It is recommended that you replace the filter when the status light changes to red OR
water flow to your water dispenser or ice maker decreases noticeably.
After changing the filter, reset the filter status light by pressing the button. The status light will change from red to green when the
system is reset.
Turning the Ice Maker On/Off
To turn the ice maker ON, simply lower the wire shutoff arm. To manually turn the ice maker OFF, lift the wire shutoff arm to the
OFF (arm up) position and listen for the click. 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. Do not
force the wire shutoff arm up or down.
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 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.
Do not store anything on top of or in the ice maker or storage bin.
Non-indicator Water Filter (on some models)
If your refrigerator does not have the status light, you should change the water filter every 6 months depending upon your usage. If the water flow to the water dispenser or ice maker
decreases noticeably before 6 months have passed, replace the water filter more often.
Changing the Water Filter
1. Press the eject button to release the filter from the base grille.
2. Pull the filter straight out.
3. Turn the cap counterclockwise to remove it from the filter. IMPORTANT: Do not discard the cap. It is part of your
refrigerator. Keep the cap to use with the replacement filter.
4. Align the ridge on the cap with the arrow on the new filter and turn the cap until it snaps into place.
NOTE: You can run the dispenser without a filter. Your water will not be filtered. Simply insert the cap all of the way into the
base grille and rotate the cap until it is firmly in place.
5. Remove the protective covers from the O-rings.
6. Push the filter into the base grille. The eject button will pop back out when the filter is fully engaged.
7. Flush the water system. See "Water and Ice Dispensers."
REFRIGERATORCARE
Explosion Hazard
Use nonflammable cleaner. Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
2.
Hand wash, rinse, and dry removable parts and interior surfaces thoroughly. Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a
mild detergent in warm water.
3.
Wash stainless steel and painted metal exteriors with a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water.
4.
There is no need for routine condenser cleaning in normal home operating environments. If the environment is
particularly greasy or dusty, or there is significant pet traffic in the home, the condenser should be cleaned every 2 to
3 months to ensure maximum efficiency. If you need to clean the condenser:
Removethe base grille.
Use a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush to clean the grille,
the open areas behind the grille and the front surface area of the condenser.
Replace the base grille when finished. Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.
Both the refrigerator and freezer sections defrost automatically. However, clean both sections about once a month to prevent odors from building up. Wipe up spills immediately.
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.
To Clean Your Refrigerator: NOTE: Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners such as window
sprays, scouring cleansers, flammable fluids, cleaning waxes, concentrated detergents, bleaches or cleansers containing petroleum products on plastic parts, interior and door liners or gaskets. Do not use paper towels, scouring pads, or other harsh
cleaning tools.
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Trythe solutions suggested here first in order to avoid the cost of an unnecessary service call.
The refrigerator will not operate
Check the following:
Is the power cord unplugged?
Has a household fuse blown or has a circuit breaker tripped?
Are the temperature controls set at the mid-settings? NOTE: The refrigerator may take several hours to cool initially.
Adjusting the controls to coldest setting will not cool either
compartment more quickly.
NOTE: Not all bulbs will fit your refrigerator. Be sure to replace the bulb with one of the same size, shape and wattage. The dispenser light requires a heavy duty 10-watt bulb. All other lights require a 40-watt bulb. Replacement bulbs are available from your dealer.
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Remove light shield when applicable. NOTE: To clean the light shield, wash it with warm water and
liquid detergent. Rinse and dry the shield well.
3. Remove light bulb and replace with one of the same size, shape and wattage.
4. Replace light shield when applicable.
5. Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.
Pulsating - fans/compressor adjusting to optimize performance
Rattling - flow of refrigerant, water line, or from items placed on top of the refrigerator
Sizzling/Gurgling - water dripping on the heater during defrost cycle
Popping - contraction/expansion of inside walls, especially during initial cool-down
Water running - may be heard when water melts during the defrost cycle and runs into the drain pan
Creaking/Cracking - occurs as ice is being ejected from the ice maker mold.
The motor seems to run too much
Your new refrigerator may run longer than your old one due to its high-efficiency compressor and fans. The unit may run even longer if the room is warm, a large food load is added, doors are opened often, or if the doors have been left open.
The refrigerator is noisy
Refrigerator noise has been reduced over the years. Due to this reduction, you may hear intermittent noises from your new refrigerator that you did not notice from your old model. Below are
listed some normal sounds with an explanation.
Buzzing - heard when the water valve opens to fill the ice maker
The doors will not close completely
Check the following:
Are food packages blocking the door open?
Are all bins and shelves pushed back into the correct positions?
The doors are difficult to open
Are the gaskets dirty or sticky? Clean gaskets with mild soap and warm water.
The ice cubes are hollow or small
Temperature is too warm
Check the following:
Are the air vents blocked in either compartment?
Are the door(s) opened often?
Has a large amount of food just been added to the refrigerator or freezer?
Are the controls set correctly for the surrounding conditions?
There is interior moisture buildup
NOTE: Some moisture is normal.
Are the air vents blocked in the refrigerator?
Are the door(s) opened often?
Isthe room humid?
Are the controls set correctly for the surrounding conditions?
Was an automatic self-defrost cycle completed?
The ice maker is not producing ice or not enough ice
Is the ice maker wire shutoff arm or switch (depending on
models) in the OFF position?
Is the water line shutoff valve to the refrigerator turned on?
Is the freezer temperature cold enough to produce ice? Wait 24 hours after ice maker hookup for ice production.
Has the ice maker just been installed? Wait 72 hours for full ice production to begin.
Does the ice maker mold have water in it or has no ice been produced? Make sure your refrigerator has been
connected to a water supply and the supply shutoff valve is turned on.
Has a large amount of ice just been removed? Allow 24 hours for ice maker to produce more ice.
Is there a water filter installed on the refrigerator? The filter may be clogged or installed incorrectly.
Is an ice cube jammed in the ice maker ejector arm? For models with an interior ice bin, remove the ice from the ejector arm with a plastic utensil.
Is a reverse osmosis water filtration system connected to your cold water supply? See "Water Supply Requirements"
in either the Installation Instruction booklet or the Use & Care Guide.
This is an indication of low water pressure. Check the following:
Is the water shutoff valve fully open?
Are there kinks in the water lines that could restrict water flow?
If you are using a water filter, remove the filter and operate the dispenser. If water flow increases, the filter is clogged or incorrectly installed.
Is a reverse osmosis water filtration system connected to your cold water supply? See "Water Supply Requirements" in either the Installation Instructions or the Use & Care Guide.
If you still have questions regarding your water pressure, call a licensed, qualified plumber.
Off-taste, odor or gray color inthe ice
Check the following:
Are the plumbing connections new, causing discolored or off- flavored ice?
Have the ice cubes been stored too long?
Does the freezer and ice bin need to be cleaned?
Has food in the freezer or refrigerator been wrapped properly?
Does the water contain minerals (such as sulfur)? A filter may need to be installed to remove the minerals.
Is there a water filter installed on the refrigerator? Gray or dark discoloration in ice indicates that the water filtration
system needs additional flushing.
The ice dispenser will not operate properly
Check the following:
Is the freezer door closed completely?
Is the ice bin installed correctly?
Is there ice in the bin?
Has the ice frozen in the ice bin?
Is ice stuck in the delivery chute?
Has the wrong ice been added to the bin? Use only cubes produced by the current ice maker.
Has the ice melted around the auger (metal spiral} in the ice bin? Dump the ice cubes and clean the ice bin.
Is the ice dispenser stalling while dispensing "crushed" ice? Change the ice button from "crushed" to "cubed." If
cubed ice dispenses correctly, depress the button for "crushed" ice and begin dispensing again.
Has the dispenser arm been held in too long? Ice will stop dispensing when the arm is held in too long. Wait 3 minutes
for dispenser motor to reset before using again.
The water dispenser will not operate properly
Check the following:
Is the freezer door closed completely?
Is the water shutoff valve not turned on, incorrectly installed or clogged?
Is the water line connected at the source?
Is there a kink in the home water source line?
Has the water system not filled? The water system needs to be filled the first time it is used.
Is the refrigerator connected to a cold water line with
