only in areas where the household temperatures will remain above freezing.

■ For models with water lters, the disposable water lter

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, qualied 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 ltration 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 lter in the reverse

osmosis system is blocked. Replace the lter if necessary.

■ Allow the storage tank on the reverse osmosis system to rell

after heavy usage.

■ If your refrigerator has a water lter, it may further reduce

the water pressure when used in conjunction with a reverse osmosis system. Remove the water lter. See “Water Filtration System.”

If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, qualied 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. Find a 1/2" to 1¹⁄4" (12.7 mm to 31.8 mm) 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: Drill on the top side of the 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 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.

5. Using a cordless 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

E. Compression sleeve F. Shutoff valve 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" 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 the washer makes a watertight seal. Do not overtighten.

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 or you may crush the copper tubing.

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.

provided.

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 bin and dispenser mechanism.

■ Do not store anything in the ice storage bin.

Water and Ice Dispensers

IMPORTANT:

■ After connecting the refrigerator to a water source or replacing

the water lter, ush 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 ow. Once water begins to ow, 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 ush air from the lter and water dispensing system, and prepare the water lter for use. Additional ushing 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.

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

rst three batches of ice produced.

■ The dispensing system will not operate when the refrigerator

door is open.

after 1 minute of inactivity. When Measured Fill is turned off, any changes you have made will be lost and all defaults will be restored.

2. You can dispense water by the ounce, cup, or liter. The default

unit is ounces. To switch to cups or liters, press the LIGHT button.

Default, minimum, and maximum volumes are listed below.

Unit Default Minimum Maximum

Ounces 8 1 128

Cups 1 1/4 16 Liters 0.25 0.05 4.00

3. Press the LOCK and OPTIONS buttons to adjust the volume

as desired. The LOCK button increases the volume, and the OPTIONS button lowers the volume.

NOTE: Most coffee cups (commonly 4 to 6 oz [118 to 177 mL] per cup) are not the same size as a measuring cup (8 oz [237 mL]). You may need to adjust the volume to avoid unintentionally overlling coffee cups.

4. To dispense water, press a sturdy glass against the water

dispenser lever OR place the glass below the water dispenser and press the MEASURED FILL button.

NOTE: While dispensing water, the digital display will count down how much water remains to be dispensed, according to the volume you selected. The ow of water will automatically stop once the desired volume has been dispensed.

5. To stop dispensing before the selected volume has been

dispensed, remove the glass from the dispenser lever OR press the MEASURED FILL button a second time.

NOTE: If you stop dispensing before the desired volume has been dispensed, the digital display will continue to show how much water remains to be dispensed. The display will turn off after 1 minute of inactivity.

■ To select a new volume or start dispensing the same volume

again, you must rst nish dispensing the selected volume, or turn off the Measured Fill feature (either by waiting 1 minute so it will automatically turn off or by pressing ICE TYPE to manually turn it off) and then turn it back on.

Rotating Faucet and Pull-out Tray (on some models)

CRUSHED CUBED

On some models, the dispenser has a rotating water faucet and a pull-out tray at the bottom.

To Dispense Ice:

1. Make sure the desired type of ice is selected. To switch

between cubed and crushed, press ICE TYPE.

WARNING

A. Faucet rotated B. Pull-out tray

■ The faucet rotates to the center to allow for easy dispensing

into large containers. To rotate it, push in on the right-hand side of the faucet as shown.

Push in on the left-hand side to rotate the faucet back into place.

NOTE: When using the dispenser with the faucet rotated, do not use the water dispenser pad. Use only the water dispenser button to dispense. Dispensing by pressing the container against the water dispenser pad may result in unintentional spilling.

■ The tray can be pulled out a bit in order to better support large

containers. It is designed to catch small spills and allow for easy cleaning. There is no drain in the tray.

NOTE: The tray can be removed from the dispenser and carried to the sink to be emptied or cleaned. Pull the tray out until it hits the stop, then gently lift up on the back of the tray and slide it out the rest of the way.

Cut Hazard

Use a sturdy glass when dispensing ice.

Failure to do so can result in cuts.

2. Press a sturdy glass against the ice dispenser lever. Hold

the glass close to the dispenser opening so ice does not fall outside of the glass.

IMPORTANT: You do not need to apply a lot of pressure to the lever in order to activate the ice dispenser. Pressing hard will not make the ice dispense faster or in greater quantities.

3. Remove the glass to stop dispensing. NOTE: Ice may continue to dispense for several seconds after

removing the glass from the lever. The dispenser may continue to make noise for a few seconds after dispensing.

The Dispenser Light

When you use the dispenser, the light will automatically turn on. If you want the light to be on continuously, you may choose either On or Pads. The display screen indicates which mode is selected.

The Ice Dispenser

Ice dispenses from the ice maker storage bin in the freezer when the dispenser lever is pressed. To turn off the ice maker, see “Ice Maker and Storage Bin.”

Your ice maker can produce both crushed and cubed ice. Before dispensing ice, select which type of ice you prefer by pressing the ICE TYPE button.

The display screen indicates which type of ice is selected.

For crushed ice, cubes are crushed before being dispensed. This may cause a slight delay when dispensing crushed ice. Noise from the ice crusher is normal, and pieces of ice may vary in size. When changing from crushed to cubed, a few ounces of crushed ice will be dispensed along with the rst cubes.

On: Press LIGHT to turn on the dispenser light and the light

behind the dispenser paddles. Pads: Press LIGHT a second time to select Pads mode. The

dispenser light will turn off, but the light behind the dispenser paddles will remain on.

REFRIGERATOR CARE

Cleaning

WARNING

Water Filter Status

When a water lter has been installed in the refrigerator, the water lter status lights help you know when to change your water lter.

■ The “Order Filter” icon will illuminate when 90% of the volume

of water for which the lter is rated has passed through the lter OR 5 months have passed since the lter was installed.

■ The “Replace Filter” icon will illuminate and blink continuously

during dispensing when the rated volume of water has passed through the lter OR 6 months have passed since the lter was installed. A new water lter should be installed immediately when the “Replace Filter” light is illuminated.

■ After 14 days at Replace Filter stage, the “Replace Filter” and

“water” icons will glow at all times and blink continuously during dispensing. Also, an alert chime will sound three times following dispensing.

The disposable water lter should be replaced at least every 6 months. If the water ow to the water dispenser or ice maker decreases noticeably before 6 months have passed, replace the water lter more often.

Reset Water Filter Status

After changing the water lter, reset the status light. Press the OPTIONS button to enter Options mode, then press LOCK to initiate the reset, then press MEASURED FILL to conrm that you want to reset the status light. When the system is reset, the “ORDER” and “REPLACE” icons will disappear from the display screen.

Explosion Hazard Use nonammable cleaner. Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or re.

Both the refrigerator and freezer sections defrost automatically. However, clean both sections about once a month to avoid odor buildup. 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 avoid odor transfer and drying out of food, wrap or cover foods tightly.

■ Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners such as window

sprays, scouring cleansers, ammable uids, cleaning waxes, concentrated detergents, nail polish remover, bleaches or cleansers containing petroleum products. Do not use paper towels, scouring pads, or other harsh cleaning tools that may scratch or damage the materials.
