Proper Disposal of Your Old Refrigerator

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 problemsof the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators are still dangerous- even if they will sit for "just a few days." If you are getting rid ofyour old refrigerator, please follow these instructions to helpprevent accidents.

Before You Throw Away Your Old Refrigerator or Freezer: Takeoff the doors. Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily

climb inside.

INSTALLATIONINSTRUCTIONS

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move and installrefrigerator.

Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

When Moving Your Refrigerator:Your refrigerator is heavy. When moving the refrigerator forcleaning or service, be sure to cover the floor withcardboard or hardboard to avoid floor damage. Always pullthe refrigerator straight out when moving it. Do not wiggle or"walk" the refrigerator when trying to move it, as floordamage could occur.

Remove packaging materials. Do not use sharp instruments,rubbing alcohol, flammable fluids, or abrasive cleaners to removetape or glue. These products can damage the surface of yourrefrigerator. For more information, see "Refrigerator Safety."

important information to know about glass shelvesand covers:Do not clean glass shelves or covers with warm water whenthey are cold. Shelves and covers may break if exposed tosudden temperature changes or impact, such as bumping.Tempered glass is designed to shatter into many small,pebble-size pieces. This is normal. Glass shelves and coversare heavy. Use both hands when removing them to avoiddropping.

Explosion Hazard

Keep flammable materials and vapors, such asgasoline, away from refrigerator.

Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

To ensure proper ventilation for your refrigerator, allow for 1/2"(1.25 cm) of space on each side and at the top. Allow for 1"(2.54 cm) of space behind the refrigerator. If your refrigerator hasan ice maker, allow extra space at the back for the water lineconnections. When installing your refrigerator next to a fixed wall,leave a 2" (5.08 cm) minimum space on each side (depending onyour model) to allow the doors to swing open.

NOTES:

/

2" (5.08 cm) m

It is recommended that you do not install the refrigerator nearan oven, radiator, or other heat source. Do not install in alocation where the temperature will fall below 55F (13C).Normal minimum cabinet cut-out width required for productinstallation is 36" (91.44 cm). However, if the product is placedagainst an extended wall and the ability to remove the crisperpans is desired, an additional 18" (45.72 cm) of cabinet widthis required, so a total cabinet opening width of 54"(137.16 cm)is recommended.

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 isimportant to make sure you have the proper electrical connection.Recommended Grounding MethodA 115 Volt, 60 Hz., AC only, 15- or 20-amp fused, groundedelectrical supply is required. It is recommended that a separatecircuit serving only your refrigerator be provided. Use an outletthat cannot be turned off by a switch. Do not use anextension cord.NOTE: Before performing any type of installation, cleaning, orremoving a light bulb, turn the control (Thermostat, Refrigerator orFreezer Control depending on the model) to OFF and thendisconnect the refrigerator from the electrical source. When youare finished, reconnect the refrigerator to the electrical source andreset the control (Thermostat, Refrigerator or Freezer Controldepending on the model) to the desired setting. See "Using theControls."

adjustable wrenches Cordless drill

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 withyour local plumbing codes. Do not use a piercing-type or e"(4.76 mm) saddle valve which reduces water flow and clogs moreeasily.IM PO RTANT: 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 remainabove freezing.

Water Pressure

A cold water supply with water pressure of between 30 and120 psi (207 and 827 kPa) is required to operate the waterdispenser and ice maker. If you have questions about your waterpressure, call a licensed, qualified plumber.Reverse Osmosis Water SupplyIMPORTANT: The pressure of the water supply coming out of areverse osmosis system going to the water inlet valve of therefrigerator needs to be between 30 and 120 psi (207 and827 kPa).If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is connected to yourcold water supply, the water pressure to the reverse osmosissystem 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 than40 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 thewater pressure when used in conjunction with a reverseosmosis system. Remove the water filter. See "Water FiltrationSystem."

If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed,qualified plumber.

Read all directions before you begin.IMPORTANT: If you turn the refrigerator on before the water line isconnected, 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. Locate a 1/2" (1.27 cm) to 1_"(3.18 cm) vertical cold water

pipe near the refrigerator.IMPORTANT:

4=

5=

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 fromthe drill and normal sediment from collecting in the valve.

Determine the length of copper tubing you need. Measurefrom the connection on the lower rear corner of refrigerator tothe 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 bothends of copper tubing are cut square.Using a cordless drill, drill a 1/4"(6.35 mm) hole in the coldwater pipe you have selected.

Slide the door chill control to the left to reduce the flow of coldair to the bin and make it less cold.

Slide the door chill control to the right to increase the flow ofcold air to the bin and make it colder.

The control can be adjusted to properly chill meats or vegetables.The air inside the pan is cooled to avoid "spot" freezing and canbe set to keep meats at the National Livestock and Meat Boardrecommended storage temperatures of 28 to 32F (-2 to 0C).The convertible vegetable/meat drawer control comes preset atthe lowest meat setting.To store meat:Set the control to one of the three MEAT settings to store meat atits optimal storage temperature.To store vegetables:Set the control to VEG to store vegetables at their optimal storagetemperatures.NOTE: If food starts to freeze, move the control to the left (lesscold). Remember to wait 24 hours between adjustments.

You can control the amount of humidity in the moisture-sealedcrisper. Adjust the control to any setting between LOW and HIGH.LOW (open) for best storage of fruits and vegetables with skins.HIGH (closed) for best storage of fresh, leafy vegetables.

Depending on your model, you may have one or more of thefollowing options: the ability to select either crushed or cubed ice,chilled water, a special light that turns on when you use thedispenser, or a lock option to avoid unintentional dispensing.IMPORTANT: After connecting the refrigerator to a water sourceor replacing the water filter, flush the water system. Use a sturdycontainer to depress and hold the water dispenser lever for5 seconds, then release it for 5 seconds. Repeat until waterbegins to flow. Once water begins to flow, continue depressingand releasing the dispenser lever (5 seconds on, 5 seconds off)until a total of 3 gal. (12 L) has been dispensed. This will flush airfrom the filter and water dispensing system, and prepare thewater filter for use. Additional flushing may be required in somehouseholds. As air is cleared from the system, water may spurtout of the dispenser.NOTES: The dispensing system will not operate when the freezer door

is open.

On some models: Allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to cooldown and chill water.

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

The Water Dispenser

IMPORTANT: Dispense enough water every week to maintain afresh supply.To Dispense Water:1. Press a sturdy glass against the water dispenser lever.2. Remove the glass to stop dispensing.

6

The Ice Dispenser

The dispensing system will not operate when the freezer door isopen. Ice dispenses from the ice maker storage bin in the freezerwhen the dispenser lever is pressed.NOTE: Some models dispense both cubed and crushed ice.Before dispensing ice, select which type of ice you prefer.For crushed ice, cubes are crushed before being dispensed. Thismay cause a slight delay when dispensing crushed ice. Noisefrom the ice crusher is normal, and pieces of ice may vary in size.When changing from crushed to cubed, a few ounces of crushedice will be dispensed along with the first cubes.To Dispense Ice:1. Press the button to select the desired type of ice.

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 theglass close to the dispenser opening so ice does not falloutside of the glass.IMPORTANT: You do not need to apply a lot of pressure to thelever in order to activate the ice dispenser.

the OFF (arm up) position and listen for the click. Ice can stillbe dispensed, but no more can be made.

NOTE: Your ice maker has an automatic shutoff. As ice is made,the ice cubes will fill the ice storage bin, and the ice cubes willraise the wire shutoff arm to the OFF (arm up) position. Do notforce the wire shutoff arm up or down.Style 2The On/Off switch is located on the top right-hand side of thefreezer compartment.

To turn on the ice maker, slide the control to the ON (left)position.

To manually turn off the ice maker, slide the control to the OFF(right) position.

NOTE: Your ice maker has an automatic shutoff. The ice makersensors will automatically stop ice production, but the control willremain in the ON (left) 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 thewater supplied to your ice maker. Avoid connecting the icemaker to a softened water supply. Water softener chemicals(such as salt) can damage parts of the ice maker and lead topoor quality ice. If a softened water supply cannot be avoided,make sure the water softener is operating properly and is wellmaintained.

Do not use anything sharp to break up the ice in the storagebin. This can cause damage to the ice container and thedispenser mechanism.Do not store anything on top of or in the ice maker or storagebin.

Removing and Replacing Ice Storage Bin

Style 11. Pull the covering panel up from the bottom and then slide it

back toward the rear.2. Lift the wire shutoff arm so it clicks into the OFF (up) position.3. Lift up the front of the storage bin and pull it out.

4. Replace the bin by pushing it in all the way or the dispenserwill not work.

5. To restart ice production, push the wire shutoff arm down tothe ON position. Make sure the door is closed tightly.

Style 21. Hold the base of the storage bin with both hands and press

the release button to lift the storage bin up and out.NOTE: It is not necessary to turn the ice maker control to theOFF (right) position when removing the storage bin. Thesensor cover ("flipper door") on the left wall of the freezerstops the ice maker from producing ice if the door is open orthe storage bin is removed.

2= Replace the storage bin on the door and push down to makesure it is securely in place.

Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or ofunknown quality without adequate disinfection before orafter the system.

Water Filter Status Light (on some models)

The water filter status light will help you know when to changeyour water filter. The light will change from green to yellow. Thistells you that it is almost time to change the filter. It isrecommended that you replace the water filter when the statuslight changes to red OR water flow to your water dispenser or icemaker decreases noticeably. The filter should be replaced at leastevery 6 months depending on your water quality and usage.After changing the water filter, reset the water filter status light.The status light will change from red to green when the system isreset.

Non-Indicator Water Filter (on some models)

If your refrigerator does not have the water filter status light, youshould change the water filter cartridge at least every 6 monthsdepending on your water quality and usage. If the water flow tothe water dispenser or ice maker decreases noticeably before6 months have passed, replace the water filter more often.

Using the Dispenser Without the Water Filter

You can run the dispenser without a water filter. Your water will notbe filtered.1. Remove the water filter.2= Slide the cap off the end of the filter and replace the cap in the

base grille.IMPORTANT: Do not discard the cap. It is part of yourrefrigerator. Keep the cap to use with the replacement filter.

REFRIGERATORCARE

Explosion HazardUse nonflammable cleaner.


Both the refrigerator and freezer sections defrost automatically.However, clean both sections about once a month to avoidbuildup of odors. Wipe up spills immediately.IMPORTANT: Because air circulates between both sections, anyodors formed in one section will transfer to the other. You mustthoroughly clean both sections to eliminate odors. To avoid odortransfer and drying out of food, wrap or cover foods tightly.To Clean Your Refrigerator:NOTE: Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners such as windowsprays, scouring cleansers, flammable fluids, cleaning waxes,concentrated detergents, bleaches or cleansers containingpetroleum products on plastic parts, interior and door liners orgaskets. Do not use paper towels, scouring pads, or other harshcleaning tools.1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.2. Hand wash, rinse, and dry removable parts and interior

surfaces thoroughly. Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and amild detergent in warm water.

3. Wash stainless steel and painted metal exteriors with a cleansponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water.

Use a sturdy glass when dispensing ice.Failure to do so can result in cuts.

Is the ice dispenser stalling while dispensing "crushed"ice? Change the ice button from "crushed" to "cubed." Ifcubed ice dispenses correctly, depress the button for"crushed" ice and begin dispensing again.Has the dispenser arm been held in too long? Ice will stopdispensing when the arm is held in too long. Wait 3 minutesfor dispenser motor to reset before using again.

The water dispenser will not operate properly

Freezer door closed completely? Close the door firmly. If itdoes not close completely, see "The doors will not closecompletely."Refrigerator connected to a water supply and the supplyshutoff valve turned on? Connect refrigerator to watersupply and turn water shutoff valve fully open.

Is the water pressure at least 30 psi (207 kPa)? The waterpressure to the home determines the flow from the dispenser.See "Water Supply Requirements."Kink in the home water source line? Straighten the watersource line.

New installation? Flush and fill the water system. Water filter installed on the refrigerator? The filter may be

clogged or incorrectly installed. Is a reverse osmosis water filtration system connected to

your cold water supply? See "Water Supply Requirements."

Water is leaking from the dispenser

NOTE: One or two drops of water after dispensing is normal. Glass not being held under the dispenser long enough?

See "Prepare theWater System" or "Water and Ice Dispensers."Recently changed water filter? Flush the water system. See"Prepare the Water System" or "Water and Ice Dispensers."

The dispenser water is not cool enough (on some models)

NOTE: Water from the dispenser is chilled to only 50F (10C). New installation? Allow 24 hours after installation for the

water supply to cool completely.

Recently dispensed large amount of water? Allow 24 hoursfor water supply to cool completely.

Water not been recently dispensed? The first glass of watermay not be cool. Discard the first glass of water.
