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
� Connect to potable water supply only
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.
� All installations must meet local plumbing code requirements.
� Do not use a piercing-type or 3/16" (4.76 mm) saddle valve
which reduces water flow and clogs more easily.
� Use copper or PEX tubing and check for leaks. Install copper
or PEX tubing only in areas where the household temperatures
will remain above freezing.
� For models with water filters, the disposable water filter should
be replaced at least every 6 months.
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.
NOTE: If the water pressure is less than what is required, the flow
of water from the water dispenser could decrease or ice cubes
could be hollow or irregular shaped.
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. The tank capacity could be too small to
keep up with the requirements of the refrigerator.
NOTE: Faucet-mounted reverse osmosis systems are not
recommended.
� 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.
Tools Needed:
Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation.
� Flat-blade screwdriver
� 7/16" and 1/2" Open-end or two
adjustable wrenches
NOTE: Your refrigeratordealerhasakitavailablewitha1/4"
(6.35 mm) saddle-type shutoff valve, a union, and copper or PEX
tubing. Before purchasing, make sure a saddle-type valve
complies with your local plumbing codes. Do not use a piercingtype or 3/16" (4.76 mm) saddle valve which reduces water flow
and clogs more easily.
IMPORTANT: If you turn on the refrigerator before the water line is
connected, turn off the ice maker.
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Turn off main water supply. Turn on nearest faucet long
enough to clear line of water.
3. Use a quarter-turn shutoff valve or the equivalent, served by a
1/2" copper or PEX household supply line.
NOTE: To allow sufficient water flow to the refrigerator, a
minimum 1/2" size copper or PEX household supply line is
recommended.
Connect the Water Supply
Read all directions before you begin.
IMPORTANT:
� Plumbing shall be installed in accordance with the
International Plumbing Code and any local codes and
ordinances.
� The gray water tubing on the back of the refrigerator (which is
used to connect to the household water line) is a PEX (crosslinked polyethylene) tube. Copper and PEX tubing connections
from the household water line to the refrigerator are
acceptable, and will help avoid off-taste or odor in your ice or
water. Check for leaks. If PEX tubing is used instead of copper,
we recommend the following part numbers:
W10505928RP (7 ft. [2.14 m] jacketed PEX),
8212547RP (5 ft. [1.52 m] PEX),
or W10267701RP (25 ft. [7.62 m] PEX).
� Install tubing only in areas where temperatures will remain
above freezing.
� Connect to a potable water supply only.
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.

REFRIGERATOR FEATURES
Crisper Humidity Control (on some
models)
You can control the amount of humidity in the moisture-sealed
crisper. Depending on your model, adjust the control to any setting
between Fruit and Vegetables or Low and High.
Fruit/Low (open):
Move control to allow moist air out of the crisper for best storage
of fruits and vegetables with skins.
� Fruit: Wash, let dry and store in refrigerator in plastic bag or
crisper. Do not wash or hull berries until they are ready to use.
Sort and keep berries in original container in crisper, or store in
a loosely closed paper bag on a refrigerator shelf.
� Vegetables with skins: Place in plastic bags or plastic
container and store in crisper.
Vegetables/High (closed):q
Move control to keep moist air in the crisper for best storage of
fresh, leafy vegetables.
� Leafy vegetables: Wash in cold water, drain and trim or tear off
bruised and discolored areas. Place in plastic bag or plastic
container and store in crisper.
Water and Ice Dispensers (on some
models)
For additional information on how to use your water and ice
dispensers, see the online “Dispensing Guide.”
IMPORTANT:
� After connecting the refrigerator to a water source or replacing
the water filter, flush the water system. Use a sturdy container
to depress and hold the water dispenser pad for 5 seconds,
then release it for 5 seconds. Repeat until water begins to flow.
Once water begins to flow, continue depressing and releasing
the dispenser pad (5 seconds on, 5 seconds off) until a total of
4 gal. (15 L) has been dispensed. This will flush air from the
filter and water dispensing system, and prepare the water filter
for use. Additional flushing may be required in some
households. As air is cleared from the system, water may spurt
out of the dispenser.
� Allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to cool down and chill water.
Dispense enough water every week to maintain a fresh supply.
� Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the
first three batches of ice produced.
� The dispenser will dispense either water or ice.
� The dispensing system will not operate when the refrigerator
door is open.
� On some models, the display screen on the dispenser control
panel will turn off automatically and enter “sleep” mode when
the control buttons and dispenser levers have not been used
for 2 minutes or more. While in “sleep” mode, the first press of
a control button will only reactivate the display screen without
changing any settings. After reactivation, changes to any
settings can then be made. If no changes are made within 2
minutes, the display will re-enter “sleep” mode.
Flush the Water System
Air in the water dispensing system can cause the water dispenser
to drip. After connecting the refrigerator to a water source or
replacing the water filter, flush the water system.
Flushing the water dispensing system forces air from the water
line and filter and prepares the water filter for use. Additional
flushing may be required in some households.
NOTE: As air is cleared from the system, water may spurt out of
the dispenser.
1. Using a sturdy container, depress and hold the water
dispenser paddle for 5 seconds.
2. Release the dispenser paddle for 5 seconds. Repeat steps 1
and 2 until water begins to flow.
3. Once water begins to flow, continue depressing and releasing
the dispenser pad (5 seconds on, 5 seconds off) until a total of
3 gal. (12 L) has been dispensed.
13
The Water Dispenser
IMPORTANT:
Dispense at least 1 qt. (1 L) of water every week to maintain a
fresh supply.
If the flow of water from the dispenser decreases, it could be
caused by low water pressure.
� With the water filter removed, dispense 1 cup (237 mL) of
water. If 1 cup of water is dispensed in 8 seconds or less, the
water pressure to the refrigerator meets the minimum
requirement.
� If it takes longer than 8 seconds to dispense 1 cup (237 mL) of
water, the water pressure to the refrigerator is lower than
recommended. See “Water Supply Requirements” and online
“Troubleshooting” for more information.
Cleaning the Ice Dispenser Chute
Humidity causes ice to naturally clump together. Ice particles can
build up until the ice dispenser chute becomes blocked.
If ice is not dispensed regularly, it may be necessary to empty the
ice storage bin and clean the ice delivery chute, the ice storage
bin and the area beneath the storage bin every 2 weeks.
� If necessary, remove the ice clogging the storage bin and
delivery chute, using a plastic utensil.
� Clean the ice delivery chute and the bottom of the ice storage
bin using a warm, damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
Ice Maker and Storage Bin
IMPORTANT:
To avoid low ice production and poor quality ice, flush the water
system before turning on the ice maker. See “Water and Ice
Dispenser” for details.
� Following installation, allow 24 hours to produce the first batch
of ice. Allow 2 to 3 days to fill the ice storage bin.
� For models with a water filter, after connecting the refrigerator
to a water source or replacing the water filter, fill and discard
three full containers of ice to prepare the water filter for use.
� 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.
� If the ice in the storage bin clumps together, break up ice using
a plastic utensil and discard ice. Do not use anything sharp to
break up the ice. This can cause damage to the ice bin and the
dispenser mechanism.
� Do not store anything on top of the ice maker or in the ice
storage bin.
Ice Maker in the Freezer
Turn the Ice Maker On/Off:
To turn on the ice maker, 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.

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.
NOTE: Turn off the ice maker before removing the ice storage bin
to serve ice or to clean the bin. This will keep the ice cubes from
dropping out of the ice maker and into the freezer compartment.
After replacing the ice storage bin, turn on the ice maker.
Wash the ice storage bin with mild soap and warm water.
Slide the ice storage bin under the ice maker and push it toward
the back as far as it will go.
Auto Ice Storage Bin (on some models):
