models).

Proper Disposal of Your 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 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.

INSTALLATION

Location Requirements

INSTRUCTIONS

Unpack the Refrigerator

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.

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 “Important Safety Instructions.”

IMPORTANT: Do not remove the white foam air return insert from behind the control panel on the ceiling of the refrigerator. If the insert is removed, ice may migrate down from the freezer and cause icicles to form.

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.

WARNING

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 in. (1.25 cm) space on each side and at the top. When installing your refrigerator next to a fixed wall, leave 2 in. (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.

NOTE: Do not install the refrigerator near an oven, radiator, or other heat source, nor in a location where the temperature will fall below 55°F (13°C).

2" (1.25 cm)

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 Requirements

WARNING

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.

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 ampere 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.

3. Locate a ½ in. to 1¹⁄₄ in. (1.25 cm to 3.18 cm) vertical COLD

water pipe near the refrigerator. NOTE: Horizontal pipe will work, but drill on the top side of the

pipe, not the bottom. This will help keep water away from the drill and normal sediment from collecting in the valve.

4. Determine the length of copper tubing you need. Measure

from the connection on the lower left rear of refrigerator to the water pipe. Add 7 ft. (2.1 m) to allow for cleaning. Use ¹⁄₄ in. (6.35 mm) O.D. (outside diameter) copper tubing. Be sure both ends of copper tubing are cut square.

5. Using a grounded drill, drill a ¹⁄₄ in. hole in the cold water pipe

you have selected.

1. Cold Water Pipe

2. Pipe Clamp

3. Copper Tubing

4. Compression Nut

6. Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water pipe with the pipe

clamp. Be sure the outlet end is solidly in the ¹⁄₄ in. drilled hole in the water pipe and that the washer is under the pipe clamp. Tighten the packing nut. Tighten the pipe clamp screws carefully and evenly so washer makes a watertight seal. Do not overtighten or you may crush the copper tubing.

7. Slip the compression sleeve and compression nut on the

copper tubing as shown. Insert the end of the tubing into the outlet end squarely as far as it will go. Screw compression nut onto outlet end with adjustable wrench. Do not overtighten.

8. Place the free end of the tubing in a container or sink, and turn

ON the main water supply. Flush the tubing until water is clear. Turn OFF the shutoff valve on the water pipe. Coil the copper tubing.

5. Compression Sleeve

6. Shutoff Valve

7. Packing Nut

Water Supply Connection

Read all directions carefully before you begin.

IMPORTANT:

■ If you turn the refrigerator on before the water line is

connected, turn the ice maker OFF.

■ All installations must meet local plumbing code requirements.

■ Use copper tubing and check for leaks. Install copper tubing

only in areas where temperatures will remain above freezing.

Tool s re qui red : Flat-blade screwdriver, ⁷⁄₁₆ in. and ¹⁄₂ in. open-end wrenches or two adjustable wrenches, ¹⁄₄ in. nut driver and drill bit, hand drill or electric drill (properly grounded).

NOTE: Your refrigerator dealer has a kit available with a ¹⁄₄ in. (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 ³⁄₁₆ in. (4.76 mm) saddle valve which reduces water flow and clogs more easily.

Cold water supply

Connect the ice maker to a cold water line with water pressure between 30 and 120 psi. If you have questions about your water pressure, call your utility company.

Connecting 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.

Connecting to Refrigerator

1. Attach the copper tube to the valve inlet using a compression

nut and sleeve as shown. Tighten the compression nut. Do not overtighten. Use the tube clamp on the back of the refrigerator to secure the tubing to the refrigerator as shown. This will help prevent damage to the tubing when the refrigerator is pushed back against the wall.

2. Turn shutoff valve ON.

3. Check for leaks. Tighten any connections (including

connections at the valve) or nuts that leak.

1. Tube Clamp

2. Copper Tubing

4. The ice maker is equipped with a built-in water strainer. If your

water conditions require a second water strainer, install it in the ¹⁄₄ in. (6.35 mm) water line at either tube connection. Obtain a water strainer from your nearest appliance dealer.

5. Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.

3. Compression Nut

4. Valve Inlet

Ice Maker and Storage Bin

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.

■ Never 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 ice bin or

bucket.

Dispensing Water

There are two water dispenser buttons as shown for use with different sizes of containers.

1. Press a glass against the back button or hold a container

under the dispenser while pressing the front button.

2. Remove the glass or release the front button to stop

dispensing.

REMEMBER:

■ Dispense enough water every week to maintain a fresh supply.

■ You should change the interior water filter cartridge, located in

the upper corner of the fresh food compartment, every 6 to 9 months depending on your usage. If the water flow to the water dispenser or ice maker decreases noticeably before 6 months have passed, replace the water filter cartridge more often.

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

■ You can run the dispenser without a water filter cartridge. Your

water will not be filtered until you get a replacement water filter cartridge.

Refrigerator Doors: Removing, Reversing

(optional) and Replacing

TOOLS NEEDED: ⁵⁄₁₆ in. hex-head socket wrench, No. 2 Phillips screwdriver, flat-blade screwdriver, ⁵⁄₁₆ in. open-end wrench, flat 2 in. putty knife.

Water Dispenser

(on some models)

WARNING

Cut Hazard Use a sturdy glass when dispensing ice or water. Failure to do so can result in cuts.

IMPORTANT:

■ If you did not flush the water system when the refrigerator was

first installed, dispense water into a container until you draw and discard 2 to 3 gal. (8 to 12 L) or for approximately 6 to 7 minutes after the water begins dispensing. The water you draw and discard rinses the pipes.

■ Allow several hours for the refrigerator to cool down and chill

Door Closing and Alignment

Door Closing

Your refrigerator has two front adjustable rollers – one on the right and one on the left. If your refrigerator seems unsteady or you want the doors to close easier, adjust the refrigerator's tilt using the instructions below:

1. Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

2. Move the refrigerator into its final position.

3. Remove the base grille (see “Base Grille” earlier in this

section). The two leveling screws are part of the front roller assemblies which are at the base of the refrigerator on either side.

4. Use a screwdriver to adjust the leveling screws. Turn the

leveling screw to the right to raise that side of the refrigerator or turn the leveling screw to the left to lower that side. It may take several turns of the leveling screws to adjust the tilt of the refrigerator.

NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the refrigerator takes some weight off the leveling screws and rollers. This makes it easier to adjust the screws.

REFRIGERATOR

IMPORTANT:

■ Give your refrigerator time to cool down completely before

adding food. It is best to wait 24 hours before you put food into the refrigerator.

■ If you add food before the refrigerator has cooled completely,

your food may spoil. Adjusting the Refrigerator and Freezer Controls to a higher (colder) than recommended setting will not cool the compartments any faster.

FREEZER

5. Open both doors again and check to make sure that they

close as easily as you like. If not, tilt the refrigerator slightly more to the rear by turning both leveling screws to the right. It may take several more turns, and you should turn both leveling screws the same amount.

6. Replace the base grille.

Door Alignment

If the space between your doors looks uneven, you can adjust it using the instructions below:

1. Pry off the top hinge cover.

2. Loosen the top hinge screws using a ⁵⁄₁₆ in. socket or wrench.

3. Have someone hold the door in place or put a spacer between

the doors while you tighten the top hinge screws.

4. Replace the top hinge cover.

Using the Control(s)

For your convenience, your refrigerator control(s) are preset at the factory. When you first install your refrigerator, make sure that the control(s) are still preset to the mid-settings as shown.

NOTE: To turn your refrigerator off, turn the refrigerator control to the word OFF or until the word OFF appears. Your product will not cool when the refrigerator control is set to OFF.

Mid-setting “3”

Adjusting Control Settings

The mid-settings indicated in the previous section 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.

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.

If you need to adjust temperatures, use the settings listed in the chart below as a guide. On models with two controls, adjust the refrigerator temperature first. Wait at least 24 hours between adjustments and then recheck the temperatures.

flavored ice?

■ Have the ice cubes been stored too long?

■ Does the freezer and ice bin or bucket 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.

Check the following:

■ 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

water pressure of at least 30 psi? The water pressure to the home determines the flow from the dispenser.

■ Is there a water filter installed on the refrigerator? The filter

may be clogged or incorrectly installed.

Water or ice is leaking from the dispenser

Check the following:

■ Is the glass not being held under the dispenser long enough?

■ Is an ice cube stuck in the chute and holding the trap door

open?

The dispenser water is not cool enough

NOTE: Water from the dispenser is only chilled to 50°F (10°C).

■ Has the refrigerator been newly installed or a large

amount of water recently dispensed? Allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to cool completely.

■ Has water not been recently dispensed? The first glass of

water may not be cool. Discard the first glass of water.

■ Has the ice frozen in the ice bin or bucket?

■ Is ice stuck in the delivery chute?

■ Has the wrong ice been added to the bin or bucket? Use

only cubes produced by the current ice maker.

■ Has the ice melted around the auger (metal spiral) in the

ice bucket? Dump the ice cubes and clean the ice bucket.

■ 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 three minutes for dispenser motor to reset before using again.
