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 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

This is the safety alert symbol. "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:

• 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 panels before operating.

• Remove doors from your old refrigerator.

• 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).

SAVETHESE INSTRUCTIONS

Proper Disposal of YourOldRefrigerator

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." Ifyou 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.

INSTALLINGYOUR

REFRIGERATOR

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 shelves from the shipping position (shelves are shipped upside down):

IMPORTANT: Do not clean glass shelves with warm water when

they are cold. Shelves 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.

NOTE: Glass shelves are heavy. Use special care when removing them to avoid impact from dropping.

1. Grasp the front of the upper shelf with one hand and use the other hand to remove packing material from the shelf area.

2. Lower the front of the upper shelf until shelf hooks can be removed from the shelf supports and pull the shelf forward.

3. Flip the shelf over and insert the rear shelf hooks into the shelf supports. Tilt the front of shelf up until rear shelf hooks drop into the shelf supports.

4. Lower the front of the shelf and check to make sure that it is securely in position.

Removing packaging materials

• Remove tape and any labels from your refrigerator before using (except the model and serial number label).

To remove any remaining tape or glue, rub the area briskly with your thumb. Tape or glue residue can also be easily removed by rubbing a small amount of liquid dish soap over the adhesive with your fingers. Wipe with warm water and dry.

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" section.

On some models, shelves, bins, door shelf rails, and other feature parts may be packaged in the Interior FeaturePak.

Follow the instructions contained in the package for proper assembly.

IMPORTANT:

• Depending on your model, do not remove any permanent instruction labels inside your refrigerator or the Tech Sheet that is fastened behind the base grille.

Depending on your model, do not remove the white Styrofoam insert that is located behind the control panel on the ceiling of the refrigerator. The insert is part of the refrigerator and not part of the packing material. 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.

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 .5 in. (1.25 cm) space on each side

Allow 3 in. (7.5 cm) of space between overhead cabinets and refrigerator top.

Allow at least 1 in. (2.5 cm) between back of cabinet and the wall.

II I

_11I

2" (5.08 era)

• If your refrigerator has an ice maker, make sure you leave some extra space at the back for the water line connections.

• If you are installing your refrigerator next to a fixed wall, leave 2 in. (5.08 cm) minimum on the hinge side (depending on your model) to allow for the door to swing open.

• Level the refrigerator (See "Door Closing and Alignment").

NOTE: Do not install the refrigerator near an oven, radiator, or other heat source, nor in a location where the temperature will fall below 40 ° F (5° 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, 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 ampere 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.

C ..... •

0 <: SO 'C

Read all directions carefully before you begin. IMPORTANT:

• If operating the refrigerator before installing the water connection, turn ice maker to the OFF position to prevent operation without water.

• All installations must be in accordance with local plumbing code requirements.

• Use copper tubing and check for leaks.

• Install copper tubing only in areas where temperatures will remain above freezing.

• It may take up to 24 hours for your ice maker to begin producing ice.

Tools required:

• Standard screwdriver

• 7_6in. and 1/2in. open-end wrenches or two adjustable wrenches

• ¼in. nut driver

• ¼in. drill bit

• Hand drill or electric drill (properly grounded)

NOTE: Your refrigerator dealer has a kit available with a 1/4in. (6.35 mm) saddle-type shut-off 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 3/16in. (4.76 mm) saddle valve which reduces water flow and clogs more easily.

Cold Water Supply The ice maker water valve contains aflow washer which is used as a water pressure regulator. The ice maker needs to be

connected to a cold water line with water pressure between 30 and 120 psi. If a problem occurs, call your utility company.

Connecting 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 1/2in. (1.27 ram) to 11/4in. (3.18 cm) vertical COLD water pipe near the refrigerator.

NOTE: 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.

To determine the length of copper tubing you will need, measure from connection on lower left rear of refrigerator to water pipe. Add 7 feet (2.1 m) to allow for moving refrigerator for cleaning. Use 1/4in. (6.35 mm) O.D. (outside diameter) copper tubing. Be sure both ends of copper tubing are cut square.

Using a grounded drill, drill a 1/4in. (6.35 mm) hole in the cold Style 1 water pipe you have selected.

8. Place the free end of the tubing into a container or sink, and turn ON main water supply and flush out tubing until water is clear• Turn OFF shut-off valve on the water pipe. Coil copper tubing.

Connecting to refrigerator: NOTE: The first step for connecting the water line to your

refrigerator is different depending on the type of water valve provided with your refrigerator• See the diagrams below to determine the style of valve you have. (On kit models, assemble water valve to refrigerator per kit instructions.)

1. For Style 1, disconnect the tube clamp on the back of the product and insert the copper tubing through the clamp, as shown. Remove the tape label from the valve inlet and insert copper tubing until it bottoms out (approximately ¾ in. [1.9 cm]). Tighten nut by hand as much as possible; then turn the nut an additional 1/2turn using a wrench• Do not overtighten. Re-attach the tube clamp and tube to the back of the cabinet. Skip to Step 2.

For Style 2, disconnect the tube clamp on the back of the product and insert copper tubing through the clamp as shown. Attach the copper tube to the valve inlet using a compression nut and sleeve as shown. Tighten the compression nut. Do not overtighten. Re-attach the tube clamp and tube to the back of the cabinet• Move to Step 2.

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. Roll out the refrigerator and use a level to check the floor at the back from side-to-side, If needed, use shims to level the back of the refrigerator if it is uneven. Roll the refrigerator back into place with the rear rollers on top of any shim(s) used so that the rear of the refrigerator is level,

2. With the rear already level and the refrigerator in place, use the bottom leveling screws to level the refrigerator from side- to-side. They are part of the front roller assemblies, which are found at the base of the refrigerator on either side.

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.

Style 1

Water dripping on the defrost heater during a defrost cycle may cause a sizzling sound.

You may hear the evaporator fan motor circulating the air through the refrigerator and freezer compartments.

As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to the refrigerant flowing in your refrigerator.

Contraction and expansion of the inside walls may cause a popping noise.

You may hear air being forced over the condenser by the condenser fan.

You may hear water running into the drain pan during the defrost cycle.

USINGYOUR

Style 2

3. Depending on your model, to level your refrigerator you may

either turn the screw clockwise to raise that side of the refrigerator or turn the screw counterclockwise to lower that

side. Place a level on top of the refrigerator to check adjustments.

4. If the doors do not close on their own, you will need to raise the front of the refrigerator so it is slightly higher than the back. To do this, turn both leveling screws clockwise 1/2turn.

IMPORTANT: Be sure to turn both screws an equal amount or the refrigerator will no longer be level side-to-side.

5. Open doors and check if they close automatically. If not, repeat steps 3 and 4.

6. Using a level, check to see if the refrigerator is still level side- to-side. Readjust if necessary.

REFRIGERATOR

In order to ensure proper temperatures, you need to permit air flow between the refrigerator and freezer sections. As shown in the illustration, cool air enters through the bottom of the freezer section and moves up. Most of the air then flows through the

freezer section vents and recirculates under the freezer floor. The rest of the air enters the refrigerator section through the top vent.

Your new refrigerator may make sounds that your old one didn't make. Because the sounds are new to you, you might be

concerned about them. Most of the new sounds are normal. Hard surfaces, like the floor, walls, and cabinets, can make the sounds

seem louder than they actually are. The following describes the kinds of sounds and what may be making them.

• If your product is equipped with an ice maker, you will hear a buzzing sound when the water valve opens to fill the ice maker for each cycle.

The defrost timer will click when the automatic defrost cycle begins and ends. Also, the Thermostat Control (or Refrigerator Control depending on the model) will click when cycling on and off.

• Rattling noises may come from the flow of refrigerant, the water line, or items stored on top of the refrigerator.

Your refrigerator is designed to run more efficiently to keep your food items at the desired temperature. The high efficiency compressor may cause your new refrigerator to run longer than your old one, and you may hear a pulsating or high-pitched sound.

Do not block any of these vents with food packages. If the vents are blocked, airflow will be prevented and temperature and moisture problems may occur.

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. (See the "Refrigerator Safety" section for details.)

For your convenience, the refrigerator controls are preset at

the factory. Controls for the refrigerator and freezer are located in the top of the refrigerator section.

When you first install your refrigerator, make sure that the control(s) are still preset. The control(s} should be at the "mid-settings" as shown for each style of control.

NOTE: To turn your refrigerator off, turn the refrigerator control to the word OFF or until the word OFF appears, as shown below. Your product will not cool when the refrigerator control is set to

OFR

!i .....

Give the refrigerator time to cool down completely before adding food. It is best to wait 24 hours before you put food into the refrigerator. The "mid-settings" indicated in the previous section should be correct for normal household refrigerator usage. The controls are set correctly when milk or juice is as cold as you like

and when ice cream is firm. For models with two controls:

The Refrigerator Control functions as the thermostat for the entire product (refrigerator and freezer sections). The higher the number setting, the longer the compressor will run to keep the temperature colder. The Freezer Control adjusts the cold air flow from the freezer to the refrigerator.

If you need to adjust temperatures in the refrigerator or freezer, start by adjusting the refrigerator first. Wait 24 hours after the refrigerator adjustment to check the freezer temperature. If it is too warm or too cold, then adjust the Freezer Control as well.

For models with a single control: The Temperature Control functions as the thermostat for the

entire product (refrigerator and freezer sections). The higher the number setting, the longer the compressor will run to keep the temperature colder.

Use the settings listed in the chart below as a guide. Always

remember to wait at least 24 hours between adjustments.

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.

IMPORTANT: If you add food before the refrigerator has cooled completely, your food may spoil. Turning the Refrigerator or Freezer Control(s} to a higher (colder} than recommended setting will not cool the compartments any faster.

On models with two controls, the Freezer Control functions as an airflow director. Setting "1" will direct more of the cold air into the refrigerator section, while setting "5" (or "7" depending on your model) will direct more of the cold air into the freezer section. The cold air flows from the freezer compartment through the top vent into your fresh food section (see diagram in the "Ensuring Proper Air Circulation" section). On models with one control, the airflow does not require adjustment.
