After you remove all of the packaging 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 isdesigned to shatter
into many small, pebble-aize pieces, This is normal, Glass shelves and covers are heavy, Use special care when removing them to avoid impact from dropping,
Location Requirements Electrical Requirements
Explosion Hazard
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from refrigerator.
Fallurs to do so can result In death, explosion, or fire.
Toensure proper ventilation for your refrigerator, allow for a 1,_,, (1.25 cm) space at the top and behind the refrigerator. If your refrigerator has as ice maker, allow extra space at the back for
the water line connections. When installing your refrigerator next to a fixed wall, leave 21,_''(6.3 era) minimum on the hingeside
(some models require more) to allow for the door to swing open. NOTE: It is recommended that you do not install the refrigerator
near an oven, radiator, or other heat source. Do not installthe refrigerator in a location where the temperature will fall below
55°F (13°C).

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,
firs, 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 refrigerator to OFE Depending on your model, turn the freezer controlto the word OFF, or pressthe
Freezer down arrow touch pad until a dash (-) appears in boththe Freezer and Refrigerator displays as shown. Disconnect the
refrigerator from the electrical source. When you are finished, reconnect the refrigerator to the electrical source and reset the
temperature controls to the desired setting. See "Using the
Controls."

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 V4"Nut driver
zAs"and _,_"Open-end or two V4"Drill bit adjustable wrenches Cordless drill
IMPORTANT:
All installations must meet local plumbing code requirements.
Do not use a piercing-type or _6" (4.76 mm) saddle valve which reduces water flow and clogs more easily.
Use copper tubing and check for leaks. Install copper tubing only in areas where the household temperatures will remain above freezing.

WaterSupplyRequirements
Water Pressure
A cold water supply with water pressure of between 35 and 120 psi (241 and 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 35 and 120 psi (241 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.
ConnecttheWaterSupply
Read all directions before you begin. IMPORTANT: Ifyou turn the refrigerator on before the water line
is connected, turn the ice maker OFE
Connect to Water Line
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect powen
2. Turn OFF main water supply. Turn ON nearest faucet long enough to clear line of water.
3. Find a 1,_,,to 11/4' (12.7 mm to 31.8 ram) vertical cold water pipe near the refrigerator. IMPORTANT:
Make sure it is a cold water pipe.
Horizontal pipe will work, but the following procedure must be followed: Drillon the top side ofthe pipe, not the bottom. This will help keep water away from the drill.This also keeps normal sediment from collecting in the valve.
4.
Determine the length of copper tubing you need. Measure from the connection on the rear ofthe refrigerator to the water pipe. Add 7 ft (2.1 m) to allow for cleaning. Use 1,_,, (6.35 mm) O.D. (outside diameter) copper tubing. Be sure both ends of copper tubing are cut square.
5. Using a cordless drill, drilla 1/4"hole in the cold water pipe
you have selected.

6. Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water pipe with the pipe
clamp. Be sure the outlet end is solidly inthe 1/4"drilled hole in the water pipe and that the washer isunder the pipe clamp. Tighten the packing nut. Tighten the pipe clamp screws slowly and evenly so the 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.
Connect to Refrigerator
Depending on your model, the water line may come down from
the top or up from the bottom. Follow the connection instructions
for your model.
Style 1
1. Remove plastic cap from water valve inlet port. Attach the copper tube to the valve inlet using a compression nut and sleeve as shown. Tighten the compression nut. Do not overtighten. Confirm copper tubing is secure by pulling on copper tubing.
2. Crsate a service loop with the copper tubing. Avoid kinks when coiling the copper tubing. Secure copper tubing to refrigerator cabinet with a "P" clamp.

Usingthe Controls
The temperature controls are located at the top front ofthe refrigerator or freezer compartments.
IMPORTANT:
The recommended setting should be correct for normal household refrigerator use. The controls are set correctly when milk or juice is as cold as you like and when ice cream
is firm. Wait 24 hours for your refrigerator to cool completely before
adding food. If you add food before the refrigerator has cooled completely, your food may spoil.
NOTE: Adjusting the refrigerator and freezer temperature controls to a colder than recommended setting will not cool
the compartments any faster.
Ifthe temperature istoo warm ortoo cold inthe refrigerator or freezer, first check the air vents to be sure they are not blocked before adjusting the controls.
To Turn Off/On: Style I Press the freezer down arrow touch pad until a
dash (-) appears in both the refrigerator and freezer displays. Neither compartment will cool.
Style 2 Turn the freezer control to the word OFF Neither compartment will cool when the freezer is set to OFF
Humidity Control (on some models) The humidity control turns on a heater to help reduce moisture on
the door hinge seal. Use in humid environments or when you
notice moisture on the door hinge seal. The refrigerator uses more energy when Humidity Control is on.
Press the control to ON when the environment is warm and
more humid, or if you notice moisture on the door hinge seal.
Press the control to OFF to save energy when the environment is less humid.
