REFRIGERATOR SAFETY

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

DANGER

WARNING

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:

■ 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.

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury when using your refrigerator, follow these basic precautions:

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

follow instructions.

can be killed or seriously injured if you don't

You 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).

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 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 the Packaging

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.”

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.

Location Requirements

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 a ½" (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 the hinge side (some models require more) 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: 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 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" (1.25 cm)

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-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.

Water Supply Requirements

Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation. Read and follow the instructions provided with any tools listed here.

TOOLS NEEDED:

■ Flat-blade screwdriver

■ ⁷⁄₁₆" and ¹⁄₂" Open-end or two

adjustable wrenches

■ ¹⁄₄" nut driver

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

IMPORTANT:

■ 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.

■ ¹⁄₄" Drill bit

■ Hand drill or electric drill

(properly grounded)

Water Pressure

A cold water supply with water pressure of between 30 and 120 psi (207 - 827 kPa) is required to operate the water dispenser and 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 30 and 120 psi (207 - 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 to 60 psi (276 - 414 kPa).

If the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system is less than 40 to 60 psi (276 - 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 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.

Connect the Water Supply

Read all directions before you begin. IMPORTANT: If you turn the refrigerator on before the water line is

connected, turn the ice maker OFF.

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. Locate a ½" to 1¹⁄₄" (1.25 cm to 3.18 cm) vertical cold water

pipe near the refrigerator.

IMPORTANT:

■ Make sure it is a cold water pipe.

■ 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" (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" hole in the cold water pipe

you have selected.

A. Cold water pipe

B. Pipe clamp C. Copper tubing D. Compression nut

DEF

E. Compression sleeve F. Sh u to ff v alv e

G. Packing 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" (6.35 mm) drilled hole in the water pipe and that the washer is under the pipe clamp. Tighten the packing nut. Tighten the pipe clamp screws slowly 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 onto 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.

Style 3

1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

2. Remove and discard the shipping tape and the black, nylon

plug from the gray, coiled water tubing on the rear of the refrigerator.

3. Thread the provided nut onto the water valve as shown. NOTE: Tighten the nut by hand. Then tighten it with a wrench

two more turns. Do not overtighten.

Connect to Refrigerator

Style 1

1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

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

nut and sleeve as shown. Tighten the compression nut. Do not overtighten.

3. 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.

4. Turn shutoff valve ON.

5. Check for leaks. Tighten any connections (including

connections at the valve) or nuts that leak.

A. Tube clamp B. Copper tubing

C. Compression nut D. Valve inlet

6. 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" (6.35 mm) water line at either tube connection. Obtain a water strainer from your nearest appliance dealer.

Style 2

1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

2. Remove and discard the shipping tape and the black, nylon

plug from the gray, coiled water tubing on the rear of the refrigerator.

3. If the gray water tube supplied with the refrigerator is not long

enough, a ¹⁄₄" x ¹⁄₄" coupling is needed in order to connect the water tubing to an existing household water line. Thread the provided nut onto the coupling on the end of the copper tubing.

NOTE: Tighten the nut by hand. Then tighten it with a wrench two more turns. Do not overtighten.

Adjust the Doors

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. Remove the base grille. See the Base Grille graphic in

“Refrigerator Doors.” The two leveling screws are part of the front roller assemblies which are at the base of the refrigerator on either side.

2. 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.

Mid-setting “3”

Mid-setting “4”

3. 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.

4. Replace the base grille.

Align Doors

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" 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.

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.

Adjusting Controls

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.

CONDITION/REASON: ADJUSTMENT:

(on some models)

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.

Ice Maker

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.

Ice Production Rate

■ Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the

first three batches of ice produced.

■ The ice maker should produce approximately 8 to 12 batches

of ice in a 24-hour period.

■ To increase ice production, lower the freezer and refrigerator

temperature. See “Using the Controls.” Wait 24 hours between adjustments.

■ For maximum ice production (on some models), push the

switch to ICE PLUS. The ice maker should produce 16 to 20 batches of ice in a 24-hour period in the Ice Plus mode.

Water Dispenser

WARNING

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

IMPORTANT:

■ 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 the 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:

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

1. Press a sturdy 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.

Water Filtration System

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)

Remember

■ 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. 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.

The water 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 water filter when the status light changes to red OR water flow to your water dispenser or ice maker decreases noticeably.

After changing the water filter, reset the water filter status light. The status light will change from red to green when the system is reset.

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.

Using the Dispenser Without the Water Filter

You can run the dispenser without a water filter. Your water will not be filtered.

1. Remove the water filter.

2. Slide the cap off the end of the filter and replace the cap in the

base grille.

IMPORTANT: Do not discard the cap. It is part of your

REFRIGERATOR CARE

Cleaning

WARNING

Explosion Hazard Use nonflammable cleaner. Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

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.

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:

■ Remove the 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.

5. Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.

Changing the Light Bulbs

NOTE: Not all bulbs will fit your refrigerator. Be sure to replace the bulb with one of the same size, shape, and wattage.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Try the solutions suggested here first in order to avoid the cost of an unnecessary service call.

Refrigerator Operation

The refrigerator will not operate

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.

■ Is outlet working? Plug in a lamp to see if the outlet is

working.

■ Household fuse blown or circuit breaker tripped? Replace

the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. If the problem continues, call an electrician.

■ Are controls on? Make sure the refrigerator controls are on.

See “Using the Controls.”

■ New installation? Allow 24 hours following installation for the

refrigerator to cool completely. NOTE: Adjusting the temperature controls to coldest setting

will not cool either compartment more quickly.

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.

■ Power cord unplugged? Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

The refrigerator seems 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 explanations.

■ Buzzing - heard when the water valve opens to fill the ice

maker

■ Pulsating - fans/compressor adjusting to optimize

performance

■ Hissing/Rattling - flow of refrigerant, movement of water

lines, 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 doors will not close completely

■ Door blocked open? Move food packages away from door.

■ Bin or shelf in the way? Push bin or shelf back in the correct

position.

The doors are difficult to open

WARNING

Explosion Hazard Use nonflammable cleaner. Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

■ Large load of food added? Allow several hours for

refrigerator to return to normal temperature.

■ Controls set correctly for the surrounding conditions?

Adjust the controls a setting colder. Check temperature in 24 hours. See “Using the Controls.”

There is interior moisture buildup

NOTE: Some moisture build-up is normal.

■ Humid room? Contributes to moisture build-up.

■ Door(s) opened often or left open? Allows humid air to enter

refrigerator. Minimize door openings and keep doors fully closed.

Ice and Water

The ice maker is not producing ice or not enough ice

■ Refrigerator connected to a water supply and the supply

shutoff valve turned on? Connect refrigerator to water supply and turn water shutoff valve fully open.

■ Kink in the water source line? A kink in the line can reduce

water flow. Straighten the water source line.

■ Ice maker turned on? Make sure wire shutoff arm or switch

(depending on model) is in the ON position.

■ New installation? Wait 24 hours after ice maker installation

for ice production to begin. Wait 72 hours for full ice production.

■ Freezer door closed completely? Firmly close the freezer

compartment door. If the freezer compartment door will not close all the way, see “The doors will not close completely.”

■ Large amount of ice recently removed? Allow 24 hours for

ice maker to produce more ice.

■ Ice cube jammed in the ice maker ejector arm?

Remove ice from the ejector arm with a plastic utensil.

■ Water filter installed on the refrigerator? Remove filter and

operate ice maker. If ice volume improves, then the filter may be clogged or incorrectly installed. Replace filter or reinstall it correctly.

■ Reverse osmosis water filtration system connected to

your cold water supply? This can decrease water pressure. See “Water Supply Requirements.”

■ Gaskets dirty or sticky? Clean gaskets and contact surfaces

with mild soap and warm water. Rinse and dry with soft cloth.

The lights do not work

■ Is a light bulb loose in the socket or burned out? See

“Changing the Light Bulb(s).”

Temperature and Moisture

Temperature is too warm

■ New installation? Allow 24 hours following installation for the

refrigerator to cool completely.

■ Door(s) opened often or left open? Allows warm air to enter

refrigerator. Minimize door openings and keep doors fully closed.

The ice cubes are hollow or small

NOTE: This is an indication of low water pressure.

■ Water shutoff valve not fully open? Turn the water shutoff

valve fully open.

■ Kink in the water source line? A kink in the line can reduce

water flow. Straighten the water source line.

■ Water filter installed on the refrigerator? Remove filter and

operate ice maker. If ice quality improves, then the filter may be clogged or incorrectly installed. Replace filter or reinstall it correctly.

■ Reverse osmosis water filtration system connected to

your cold water supply? This can decrease water pressure. See “Water Supply Requirements.”

■ Questions remain regarding water pressure? Call a

licensed, qualified plumber.

Off-taste, odor or gray color in the ice

■ New plumbing connections? New plumbing connections

can cause discolored or off-flavored ice.

■ Ice stored too long? Discard ice. Wash ice bin. Allow

24 hours for ice maker to make new ice.

■ Odor transfer from food? Use airtight, moisture proof

packaging to store food.

■ Are there minerals (such as sulfur) in the water? A water

filter may need to be installed to remove the minerals.

■ Water filter installed on the refrigerator? Gray or dark

discoloration in ice indicates that the water filtration system needs additional flushing. Flush the water system before using a new water filter. Replace water filter when indicated. See “Water Filtration System.”

The water dispenser will not operate properly

■ Water filter installed on the refrigerator? Remove filter and

operate dispenser. If water flow increases, the filter may be clogged or incorrectly installed. Replace filter or reinstall it correctly.

■ Reverse osmosis water filtration system connected to

your cold water supply? This can decrease water pressure. See “Water Supply Requirements.”

Water is dripping from the dispenser

NOTE: One or two drops of water after dispensing is normal.

■ Glass not being held under the dispenser long enough?

Hold the glass under the dispenser 2 to 3 seconds after releasing the dispenser lever.

■ New installation? Flush the water system. See “Water

Dispenser.”

■ Recently changed water filter? Flush the water system. See

“Water Dispenser.”

■ Refrigerator connected to a water supply and the supply

shutoff valve turned on? Connect refrigerator to water supply and turn water shutoff valve fully open.

■ Kink in the water source line? Straighten the water source

line.

■ New installation? Flush and fill the water system. See “Water

Dispenser.”

■ Is the water pressure at least 30 psi? The water pressure to

the home determines the flow from the dispenser. See “Water Supply Requirements.”

WATER FILTER CERTIFICATIONS

Water from the dispenser is warm

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

■ New installation? Allow 24 hours after installation for the

water supply to cool completely.

■ Recently dispensed large amount of water? Allow 24 hours

for water supply to cool completely.

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

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

■ Refrigerator connected to a cold water pipe? Make sure

the refrigerator is connected to a cold water pipe. See “Water Supply Requirements.”
