Proper Disposal of Your Old Refrigerator
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.” If you 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.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Unpack the Refrigerator
Remove the Packaging
■ Remove tape and glue residue from surfaces before turning
on the refrigerator. Rub 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.”
■ Dispose of/recycle all packaging materials.
Clean Before Using
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 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury when using your refrigerator, follow these basic precautions:
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
■ 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 parts and 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 (on some models).
WARNING
Suffocation Hazard
Remove doors from your old refrigerator.
Failure to do so can result in death or brain damage.
WARNING
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install
refrigerator.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
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.
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 is designed to shatter
into many small, pebble-size pieces. This is normal. Glass
shelves and covers are heavy. Use special care when
removing them to avoid impact from dropping.

Location Requirements
To ensure proper ventilation for your refrigerator, allow for a ¹⁄₂"
(1.25 cm) space at the top and behind the refrigerator. If your
refrigerator has an ice maker, allow extra space at the back for
the water line connections. When installing your refrigerator next
to a fixed wall, leave a 3³⁄₄" (9.5 cm) minimum space between the
refrigerator and wall to allow 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 install the
refrigerator in a location where the temperature will fall below
55°F (13°C).
Electrical Requirements
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 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. See “Using the
Controls.”
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:
IMPORTANT:
■ 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 tubing and check for leaks. Install copper tubing
only in areas where the household temperatures will remain
above freezing.
WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as
gasoline, away from refrigerator.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
3³⁄₄" (9.5 cm)
¹⁄₂" (1.25 cm)
■ Flat-blade screwdriver
■ ⁷⁄₁₆" and ¹⁄₂" Open-end or two
adjustable wrenches
■ ¹⁄₄" Nut driver
■ ¹⁄₄" Drill bit
■ Cordless drill
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.
WARNING

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.
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. Locate a ½" 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 drill on the top side of the
pipe, not the bottom. This will help keep water away from
the drill and 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.
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 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. Coil the
copper tubing.
Connect to Refrigerator
1. Remove plastic cap from water supply connection. Place
brass nut and compression sleeve on copper tube end as
shown.
2. Place end of copper tubing into plastic water valve supply
line. Slide the brass nut over the sleeve and screw the nut into
supply line.
3. Using an adjustable wrench, hold the nut on the plastic water
line to keep it from moving. Then, with a second wrench turn
the nut on the copper tubing counterclockwise to completely
tighten. Do not overtighten.
4. Check connection by pulling on the copper tubing.

■ To increase ice production, lower the freezer and refrigerator
temperature. See “Using the Controls.” Wait 24 hours
between adjustments.
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.

REFRIGERATOR CARE
Cleaning
Both the refrigerator and freezer sections defrost automatically.
However, clean both sections about once a month to avoid
buildup of odors. 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.
To Clean Your Refrigerator:
NOTE: Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners such as window
sprays, scouring cleansers, flammable fluids, cleaning waxes,
concentrated detergents, bleaches or cleansers containing
petroleum products on plastic parts, interior and door liners or
gaskets. Do not use paper towels, scouring pads, or other harsh
cleaning tools.
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.

Risque de suffoquer
Enlever les portes de votre vieux réfrigérateur.
Le non-respect de cette instruction peut causer
un décès ou des lésions cérébrales.
AVERTISSEMENT
Risque du poids excessif
Utiliser deux ou plus de personnes pour déplacer et
installer le réfrigérateur.
Le non-respect de cette instruction peut causer
une blessure au dos ou d'autre blessure.
Déplacement de votre réfrigérateur :
Votre réfrigérateur est lourd. Lors du déplacement du
réfrigérateur pour le nettoyage ou le service, veiller à protéger l
le plancher. Toujours tirer le réfrigérateur tout droit lors du
déplacement. Ne pas incliner le réfrigérateur d’un côté ou de
l’autre ni le “faire marcher” en essayant de le déplacer car le
plancher pourrait être endommagé.
Importants renseignements à savoir au sujet des tablettes
et des couvercles en verre :
Ne pas nettoyer les tablettes ou couvercles en verre avec de
l’eau tiède quand ils sont froids. Les tablettes et les
couvercles peuvent se briser s'ils sont exposés à des
changements soudains de température ou à un impact tel
que coup brusque. Pour votre protection, le verre trempé est
conçu pour éclater en d’innombrables pièces minuscules.
Ceci est normal. Les tablettes et les couvercles en verre sont
lourds. Un soin spécial s’impose lors de leur déplacement
pour éviter l’impact d’une chute.
Risque d'explosion
Garder les matériaux et les vapeurs inflammables, telle
que l'essence, loin du réfrigérateur.
Le non-respect de cette instruction peut causer
un décès, une explosion ou un incendie.
AVERTISSEMENT

REMARQUE : Il est recommandé de ne pas installer le
réfrigérateur près d'un four, d'un radiateur ou de toute autre
source de chaleur. Ne pas installer le réfrigérateur dans un
endroit où la température baissera au-dessous de 55°F (13°C).
Spécifications électriques
Avant de placer le réfrigérateur à son emplacement final, il est
important de vous assurer d'avoir la connexion électrique
appropriée.
Méthode recommandée de mise à la terre
Une source d'alimentation de 115 volts, 60 Hz, type 15 ou
20 ampères CA seulement, protégée par fusible et adéquatement
mise à la terre, est nécessaire. Il est recommandé d'utiliser un
circuit distinct pour alimenter uniquement votre réfrigérateur.
Utiliser une prise murale qui ne peut pas être mise hors circuit à
l'aide d'un commutateur. Ne pas utiliser un câble de rallonge.
REMARQUE : Avant d'exécuter tout type d'installation,
nettoyage ou remplacement d'une ampoule d'éclairage, tourner
la commande (réglage du thermostat, du réfrigérateur ou du
congélateur selon le modèle) à OFF (arrêt) et déconnecter ensuite
le réfrigérateur de la source d'alimentation électrique. Lorsque
vous avez terminé, reconnecter le réfrigérateur à la source
d'alimentation électrique et tourner de nouveau la commande
(réglage du thermostat, du réfrigérateur ou du congélateur selon
le modèle) au réglage désiré. Voir “Utilisation des commandes”.
Spécifications de l’alimentation en eau
Rassembler les outils et pièces nécessaires avant de commencer
l'installation. Lire et suivre les instructions fournies avec les outils
indiqués ici.
OUTILLAGE REQUIS :
IMPORTANT :
■ Toutes les installations doivent être conformes aux exigences
des codes locaux de plomberie.
■ Ne pas employer de robinet d’arrêt à étrier de ³⁄₁₆" (4,76 mm)
ou de type à percer, ce qui réduit le débit d’eau et cause une
obstruction plus facilement.
■ Utiliser un tube en cuivre et vérifier s'il y a des fuites. Installer
les tubes en cuivre seulement à des endroits où la
température se maintient au-dessus du point de congélation.
Pression de l'eau
Une alimentation en eau froide avec une pression entre 35 et
120 lb/po
2
(241 et 827 kPa) est nécessaire pour faire fonctionner
le distributeur d'eau et la machine à glaçons. Si vous avez des
questions au sujet de la pression de votre eau, appeler un
plombier qualifié agréé.
Alimentation en eau par osmose inverse
IMPORTANT : La pression de l'alimentation en eau entre le
système d'osmose inverse et la valve d'arrivée d'eau du
réfrigérateur doit être entre 35 et 120 lb/po² (241 et 827 kPa).
Si un système de purification de l'eau par osmose inverse est
raccordé à votre alimentation en eau froide, la pression de l'eau
au système doit être d'un minimum de 40 à 60 lb/po² (276 à
414 kPa).
Si la pression de l'eau au système d'osmose inverse est
inférieure à 40 à 60 lb/po
2
(276 à 414 kPa) :
■ Vérifier pour voir si le filtre à sédiment du système d'osmose
inverse est bloqué et le remplacer si nécessaire.
■ Laisser le réservoir du système d'osmose inverse se remplir
après une utilisation intense.
■ Si votre réfrigérateur a un filtre à eau, celui-ci peut réduire
encore plus la pression de l'eau lorsqu'elle est utilisée avec
un système d'osmose inverse. Retirer le filtre à eau. Voir
“Système de filtration de l'eau”.
Si vous avez des questions au sujet de la pression de votre eau,
appelez un plombier qualifié agréé.
