REFRIGERATOR SAFETY

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 is the safety alert symbol.

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 "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.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

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 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

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 the Packaging

• If the ice storage bin is located on the door, remove the

temporary shield from underneath the ice storage bin. See

"Ice Maker and Storage Bin."

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."

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.

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 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.

LO(,,<__£fI Fleql.lI;l(_ mel"_ts

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 1/2"

(1.25 cm) space on each side and at the top. When installing your

refrigerator next to a fixed wall, leave 2" (5.08 cm) minimum on

each side (depending on your model) to allow for the door to

swing open. Ifyour refrigerator has an ice maker, allow extra

space at the back for the water line connections.

NOTE: It is recommended that you do not install the refrigerator

near an oven, radiator, or other heat source. Do not install in a

location where the temperature will fall below 55°F (13°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-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) 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.

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

• 1/411Drill bit

• Hand drill or electric drill

(properly grounded)

NOTE: Your refrigerator dealer has a kit available with a 1/411

(6.35 mm) saddle-type shutoff 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 34d'

(4.76 mm) saddle valve which reduces water flow and clogs more

easily.

IMPORTANT:

• 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 remain

above freezing.

Water Preseure

A cold water supply with water pressure of between 30 and

120 psi (207 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 30 and 120 psi (207 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.

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.

1. Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

2. Flush the water system. See "Prepare the Water System" or

"Water and Ice Dispensers."

NOTE: Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Allow

3 days to completely fill ice container.

Please read before using the water system.

Immediately after installation, follow the steps below to make

sure that the water system is properly cleaned.

1. Open the freezer door and turn off the ice maker. The On/Off

switch is located on the top right side of the freezer

compartment. Move the switch to the OFF (right) setting as

shown.

NOTE: Make sure the base grille filter is properly installed and the

cap is in the horizontal position.

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.

Use a sturdy container to depress and hold the water

dispenser lever 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 lever

(5 seconds on, 5 seconds off) for an additional 2 minutes.

This will flush air from the filter and water dispensing system.

Additional flushing may be required in some households.

NOTE: As air is cleared from the system, water may spurt out

of the dispenser.

Open the freezer door and turn on the ice maker. Move the

switch to the ON (left) position. Please refer to the "Ice Maker

and Storage Bin" section for further instructions on the

operation of your ice maker.

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

• Discard the first three batches of ice produced.

• Depending on your model, you may want to select the

maximum ice feature to increase the production of ice.

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, such as the floor, walls, and cabinets, can make the

sounds seem louder. The following describes the kinds of sounds

and what may be making them.

• If your refrigerator 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.

Your refrigerator is designed to run more efficiently to keep

your food items at the desired temperatures and to minimize

energy usage. The high efficiency compressor and fans may

cause your refrigerator to run longer than your old one. You

may also hear a pulsating or high-pitched sound from the

compressor or fans adjusting to optimize performance.

• You may hear the evaporator fan motor circulating air through

the refrigerator and freezer compartments. The fan speed

may increase as you open the doors or add warm food.

• Rattling noises may come from the flow of refrigerant, the

water line, or items stored on top of the refrigerator.

• Water dripping on the defrost heater during a defrost cycle

may cause a sizzling sound.

• 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.

REFRIGERATOR USE

In order to ensure proper temperatures, you need to permit air to

flow between the two sections. Cold air enters the bottom of the

freezer section and moves up. It then enters the refrigerator

section through the top vent. On Style 2 models, this air is also

evenly distributed throughout the refrigerator compartment

through six vents on the back wall. Air then returns to the freezer

as shown.

Style 1 Style 2

Digital Controls

For your convenience, your controls are preset at the factory.

When installing your refrigerator, make sure the controls are still

preset as shown. The digital control panel is located at the top of

the refrigerator compartment and enables you to view the

temperature control set points.

NOTE: The factory recommended set points are 0°F (-18°C) for

the freezer and 37°F (3°C) for the refrigerator.

To turn refrigerator on and view set points:

• Press and hold ON/OFF for 2 seconds.

NOTE: If the freezer temperature is below zero, the indicator light

next to the freezer display will light up.

Do not block any of these vents with food such as soda, cereal,

bread, etc. If the vents are blocked, airflow will be obstructed 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 avoid odor

transfer and drying out of food, wrap or cover foods tightly.

Usng Xe s

IMPORTANT:

• The Refrigerator Control adjusts the refrigerator compartment

temperature. The Freezer Control adjusts the freezer

compartment temperature.

• Wait 24 hours after you turn on the refrigerator before you put

food into it. Ifyou add food before the refrigerator has cooled

completely, your food may spoil.

NOTE: Adjusting the Refrigerator and Freezer Controls to a

colder setting will not cool the compartments any faster.

• If the temperature is too warm or too cold in the refrigerator or

freezer, first check the air vents to be sure they are not

blocked before adjusting the controls.

• The preset settings should be correct for normal household

usage. The controls are set correctly when milk or juice is as

cold as you like and when ice cream is firm.

Freezer Control to a colder setting. Adjusting the freezer to a

colder temperature may make some foods, such as ice

cream, harder.

SmartSense TM Temperature Management

The SmartSense TM feature assists with regulating the

temperature inside the refrigerator. If a large quantity of warm

food is placed in the refrigerator or warm air enters the

refrigerator while the door is held open, SmartSense TM activates

to quickly restore the temperature to the set point.

NOTE: SmartSense TM is always on when your refrigerator is

operating. You do not need to press any buttons to activate it.

The LED light on the control panel indicates that the feature is

functioning properly.

the dispenser mechanism.

2. Wash the storage bin with a mild detergent, rinse well and dry

thoroughly. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners or solvents.

Remember

• Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Allow 3 days

to completely fill ice container.

• Discard the first three batches of ice produced to avoid

impurities that may be flushed out of the system.

• 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.

• It is normal for the ice cubes to be attached at the corners.

They will break apart easily.

• Do not store anything on top of the ice maker or in the

storage bin.

Frozen Food Storage Guide

Storage times will vary according to the quality and type of food,

the type of packaging or wrap used (should be airtight and

moisture-proof), and the storage temperature. Ice crystals inside

a sealed package are normal. This simply means that moisture in

the food and air inside the package have condensed, creating ice

crystals.

Put no more unfrozen food into the freezer than will freeze within

24 hours (no more than 2 to 3 Ibs of food per cubic foot [907 to

1,350 g per 28 L] of freezer space). Leave enough space in the

freezer for air to circulate around packages. Be careful to leave

enough room for the door to close tightly.

For more information on preparing food for freezing, check a

freezer guide or reliable cookbook.

If the power will be out for 24 hours or less, keep the door or

doors closed (depending on your model) to help food stay cold

and frozen.

If the power will be out for more than 24 hours, do one of the

following:

• Remove all frozen food and store it in a frozen food locker.

• Place 2 Ibs (907 g) of dry ice in the freezer for every cubic foot

(28 L) of freezer space. This will keep the food frozen for 2 to

4 days.

• If neither a food locker nor dry ice is available, consume or

can perishable food at once.

REMEMBER: A full freezer stays cold longer than a partially filled

one. A freezer full of meat stays cold longer than a freezer full of

baked goods. Ifyou see that food contains ice crystals, it may be

refrozen, although the quality and flavor may be affected. If the

fire, or electrical shock.

• Power cord unplugged? Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

• Is outlet working? Plug in a lamp to see if the outlet is

working.

• Household fuse blown or circuit breaker tripped? Replace

the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. If the problem continues,

call an electrician.

• Are controls on? Make sure the refrigerator controls are on.

See "Using the Controls."

• New installation? Allow 24 hours following installation for

the refrigerator to cool completely.

NOTE: Adjusting the temperature controls to coldest setting

will not cool either compartment more quickly.

The motor seems to run too much

Your new refrigerator may run longer than your old one due to its

high-efficiency compressor and fans. The unit may run even

longer if the room is warm, a large food load is added, doors are

opened often, or if the doors have been left open.
