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:

mPlug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
mDo not remove ground prong.

mDo not use an adapter.
mDo not use an extension cord.

mDisconnect power before servicing.
mReplace all parts and panels before operating.

mRemove 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 (on some models).

ProperDisposalofYourOldRefrigerator

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.

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.

If the ice storage bin is located on the door, remove the
temporary shield from underneath the ice storage bin. See

"Ice Maker and Storage Bin."
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."

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 shetves 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.

Explosion Hazard

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

Faimureto do so can reeumt in death, expmosion, 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.

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 • %" Drill bit

• 7/16"and 1/2"Open-end or two • Hand drill or electric drill
adjustable wrenches (properly grounded)

• 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.

Water Pressure

A cold water supply with water pressure of between 30 and
120 psi (207 and 827 kPa) is required to operate the water

dispenser and ice maker. Ifyou 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 and
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 to 414 kPa).

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

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

connected, turn the ice maker OFR

3. Locate a 1_,,(12.70 mm) to 11A'' (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 rear corner of the 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.

• After connecting the refrigerator to a water source, flush the
water system by dispensing water into a sturdy container until
you draw and discard 1.5 gal. (5.4 L) of water, or for

approximately 3 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 24 hours for the refrigerator to cool down and chill
water.

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

I

L___

• To turn on the ice maker, flip the switch to the ON (top)
position.

• To manually turn off the ice maker, flip the switch to the
OFF (bottom) position.

NOTE: Your ice maker has an automatic shutoff. The ice maker
sensors will automatically stop ice production when the ice

storage bin is full orthe freezer door is opened, but the control will
remain in the ON position.

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 asoftened 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 inthe 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.

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
FILTER RESET button. 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.

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. Be sure the
O-rings are still in place after the covers are removed.

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 nonflammabme cleaner,
Failure to do so can result in death, expmosion, 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:

TROUBLESHOOTING

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

The refrigerator will not operate

E_ectrical Shock Hazard

P_ug 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.

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

Therefrigerator 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

• 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 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

E×plosion Hazard

Use nonflammable cleaner.
Failure to do so can result in death, e×p_osion, or fire.

Are the gaskets dirty or sticky? Clean gaskets with mild soap
and warm water,

The lights do not work

• Is a light bulb loose in the socket or burned out? See
"Changing the Light Bulbs."

• Is the dispenser light set to ON? The dispenser light will
operate only when the levers are pressed. If you want the
dispenser light to stay on continuously, set the dispenser light
to ON, or NIGHT LIGHT or AUTO. See "Water and Ice

Dispensers."

• Is the dispenser light set to NIGHT LIGHT or AUTO? If the
dispenser is set to the NIGHT LIGHT or AUTO mode, be sure

the dispenser light sensor is not blocked. See "Water and Ice
Dispensers."

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.
