Do Not Use Mechanical Devices to Defrost Refrigerator.

Do Not Puncture Refrigerant Tubing.

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 all sections, any odors formed

in one section will transfer to the other. You must thoroughly

clean all 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, flammable fluids, muriatic acid, cleaning

waxes, concentrated detergents, bleaches or cleansers

containing petroleum products on doors and cabinet, plastic

parts, interior and door liners or gaskets. Do not use paper

towels, scouring pads, or other harsh cleaning tools.

� For stainless steel models, stainless steel is corrosion

resistant and not corrosion-proof. To help avoid corrosion of

your stainless steel, keep your surfaces clean by using the

following cleaning instructions.

Cleaning the Touch Screen Display on the

Dispenser Panel (on some models):

1. Make sure the refrigerator is unplugged or the power is

disconnected before wiping the screen to avoid unintentionally

changing the settings.

2. Mix a solution of mild detergent in warm water. Dampen a soft,

lint-free cloth with the solution and gently wipe the screen.

NOTE: Do not spray or wipe liquids directly onto the screen or

over-saturate the cloth.

3. Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.

Cleaning the Interior:

IMPORTANT: Refrigerator shelves with under-shelf, LED lighting

freezer door is opened, call for assistance or service.

Refrigerator Shelves

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. Tempered

glass is designed to shatter into many small, pebble-size pieces.

This is normal. Glass shelves and covers are heavy. Use both

hands when removing them to avoid dropping.

The shelves in your refrigerator are adjustable to match your

individual storage needs.

Storing similar food items together in your refrigerator and

adjusting the shelves to fit different heights of items will make

finding the exact item you want easier. It will also reduce the

amount of time the refrigerator door is open, and save energy

Glass Shelves

To remove a shelf:

1. Remove items from the shelf.

2. Slide the shelf straight out to the stop.

3. Depending on your model, lift the back or front of the shelf

past the stop. Pull the shelf out the rest of the way.

To replace a shelf:

1. Slide the back of the shelf into the track in the wall of the

cabinet.

2. Guide the front of the shelf into the shelf track. Be sure to slide

the shelf in all the way.

Shelves with Shelf Frames

To remove and replace a shelf/shelf frame:

1. Remove the shelf/frame by tilting it up at the front and lifting it

out of the shelf supports.

2. Replace the shelf/frame by guiding the rear shelf hooks into

the shelf supports. Tilt the front of the shelf up until rear shelf

hooks drop into the shelf supports.

3. Lower the front of the shelf and make sure that the shelf is in

position.

Shelves with Under-Shelf Lighting (on some

models)

By moving LED lighting to a new spot under the shelves, this

leading-edge technology improves interior refrigerator lighting and

aids in locating storage items.

� For models with the shelf frames, the hooks on the rear of the

shelf must be fully engaged in the shelf supports to maintain

proper electrical flow.

� No more than two shelves with under-shelf lighting may be

used in the refrigerator at one time.

Shelves with Shelf Mounts

Shelf height can be adjusted by changing the adjustable shelf

mounts between their vertical and horizontal positions.

1. Carefully lift the shelf off the shelf mounts and turn the flipper

to the desired orientation.

2. Repeat for remaining shelf mounts.

3. Apply pressure to the top of the shelf to ensure the shelf is

properly seated on the shelf mounts.

To remove and replace shelves:

1. Make sure adjustable shelf mounts are in the lower position

before removing shelves. Also doors will need to be open at a

90˚ angle. If open wider, it will make it harder to remove the

shelves.

2. Remove the middle shelf or top shelf by lifting it up and out of

the shelf supports. Then pull the shelf forward and tilt down to

a vertical position. Turn the shelf at an angle and pull out of

the refrigerator.

Infinity slide glass shelves should be pushed back in. When

tilted up, make sure glass does not slide to front.

NOTE: Remove middle shelf first before removing top shelf.

3. Remove the bottom shelf by lifting it up and out of the shelf

supports. Then pull the shelf forward and tilt up to a vertical

position. Turn the shelf at an angle and pull out of the

refrigerator.

4. Replace the middle and top shelves by putting the shelf in the

refrigerator at an angle with the shelf front down. Lift the front

of the shelf up and slide in until rear shelf drops into the shelf

supports. Lower the front of the shelf and make sure that the

shelf is in position.

5. Replace the bottom shelf by putting the shelf in the refrigerator

at an angle with the shelf up. Lift the front of the shelf down

and slide in until rear shelf drops into the shelf supports.

Lower the front of the shelf and make sure that the shelf is in

position.

Tuck/Slide Away Shelf (on some models)

Some shelves will tuck/slide away to create room for taller objects.

To retract and extend the front section of the shelf:

1. To retract the front-section of the shelf, slightly lift up on the

front edge and push the adjustable portion of the shelf back

toward the rear of the refrigerator.

2. Extend the front of the shelf by pulling the retracted portion of

the shelf outward until it is fully extended.

Foldaway Shelf (on some models)

To retract the fold away shelf:

Retract the fold away section of the shelf by holding the front of

the shelf with one hand and lifting up on the center front of the

shelf. Then push back and down on the shelf until it slides

beneath the back section of the shelf.

To replace the fold away shelf:

Replace the fold away section of the shelf by holding the front of

the shelf with one hand and pulling the center of the shelf until the

fold away section is returned to its full shelf position.

MicroEdge

Glo Shelves (on some models)

The hooks on the rear of the shelf must be fully engaged in the

shelf supports to maintain proper electrical flow.

No more than two shelves with under-shelf lighting may be used in

the refrigerator at one time.

Opening and Closing Doors

There are two refrigerator compartment doors. The doors can be

opened and closed either separately or together. On some

models, there is a, automatic closing mechanism so the door(s)

will not unintentionally be left open. If a door is open at a 40° or

smaller angle, the door will automatically, softly close.

IMPORTANT: If the doors do not automatically close at a 40° or

smaller angle, see “Bottom Door Hinge.”

There is a vertically-hinged seal on the left refrigerator door.

� When the left-hand door is opened, the hinged seal

automatically folds inward so that it is out of the way.

� When both doors are closed, the hinged seal automatically

forms a seal between the two doors.

A. Hinged seal

The refrigerator compartment door switch is located in the top left

and right hinge cover.

� The door switch uses magnet to sense door opening/closing.

� Ensure there are no magnet or electronic devices (Speaker,

CoolVox

, etc) within 3 inches of the hinge cap.

NOTE: The light and internal user interface (UI) will not turn on if

the door opening is not detected.

“Refrigerator Care.”

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. Tempered

glass is designed to shatter into many small, pebble-size pieces.

This is normal. Glass shelves and covers are heavy. Use both

hands when removing them to avoid dropping

Location Requirements

WARNING

Explosion Hazard

Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline,

away from appliance.

Use nonflammable cleaner.

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

IMPORTANT: This appliance is intended to be used indoor for

household and similar applications such as:

� Staff kitchen areas in shops, offices and other working

environments.

� Farm houses and by clients in hotels, motels and other

residential type environments.

� Bed and breakfast type environments.

� Catering and similar non-retail applications.

NOTE: If the manufacturer wants to limit the use of the appliance

to less than the above, this has to be clearly stated in the

instructions.

To ensure proper ventilation for your refrigerator, allow for a 1/2"

(1.25 cm) of space on each side and at the top. Allow for a 1"

(2.54 cm) space 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 3 3/4" (9.5 cm) minimum space between the refrigerator

and wall to allow the door to swing open.

NOTE: This refrigerator is intended for use in a location where the

temperature ranges from a minimum of 55°F (13°C) to a

maximum of 110°F (43°C). The preferred room temperature range

for optimum performance, which reduces electricity usage and

provides superior cooling, is between 60°F (15°C) and 90°F

(32°C). It is recommended that you do not install the refrigerator

near a heat source, such as an oven or radiator.

Electrical Requirements

WARNING

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.

If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the

manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified person.

Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its

length or at either the plug or connector end.

Recommended Grounding Method

A 115 V, 60 Hz, AC-only 15 A or 20 A fused, grounded electrical

supply is required. It is recommended that a separate circuit

serving only your refrigerator and approved accessories be

provided. Use an outlet that cannot be turned off by a switch. Do

not use an extension cord.

IMPORTANT: If this product is connected to a GFCI (Ground Fault

Circuit Interrupter) protected outlet, nuisance tripping of the power

supply may occur, resulting in loss of cooling. Food quality and

flavor may be affected. If nuisance tripping has occurred, and if

the condition of the food appears poor, dispose of the food.

NOTE: Before performing any type of installation or cleaning, or

removing a light bulb, turn cooling off or turn the control

Control depending on the model) to the desired setting. See the

“Quick Start Guide”.

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

� 1/4" Nut driver

� 1/4" Drill bit

� Cordless drill

� 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.

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 water tubing on the back of the refrigerator (which is used

to connect to the household water line) is a PEX (cross-linked

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

contacting Service to obtain current part numbers.

� 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.

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

� 1/4" Nut driver

� 1/4" Drill bit

� 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 or PEX

tubing. Before purchasing, make sure a saddle-type valve

complies with your local plumbing codes. Do not use a piercing-

type or 3/16" (4.76 mm) saddle valve which reduces water flow

and clogs more easily.

Connect to Water Line

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.

A. Bulb

B. Nut

C. Copper or PEX tubing (to refrigerator)

D. Household supply line (½" minimum)

4. Now you are ready to connect the copper or PEX tubing to the

shutoff valve. Use 1/4" (6.35 mm) O.D. (outside diameter) soft

copper or PEX tubing to connect the shutoff valve and the

refrigerator.

� Ensure that you have the proper length needed for the job.

Be sure both ends of the copper tubing are cut square.

� Slip compression sleeve and compression nut onto copper

tubing as shown. (PEX tubing has compression sleeves

and compression nuts preinstalled.) Insert end of tubing

into outlet end squarely as far as it will go. Screw

compression nut onto outlet end with adjustable wrench.

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):

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.

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 Production Rate

Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the first

three batches of ice produced.

Allow 3 days to completely fill the ice storage bin. The ice maker

should produce approximately 3 lbs (1.4 kg) (8 to 12 batches) of

ice in a 24-hour period.

To increase ice production, lower the freezer and refrigerator

temperature, or see “Control Panel Descriptions” in the Quick

Start Guide for details. Wait 24 hours between adjustments.

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.

Your ice maker has an automatic shutoff. As ice is made, the ice

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):

swing.

it out of the home, before you begin, turn the refrigerator

control Off, and unplug the refrigerator or disconnect power.

Remove food and any adjustable door or utility bins from

doors.

them free from the cabinet. Provide additional support for the

while you are working.
