INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Unpack the Refrigerator

WARNING

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move and install or uninstall

appliance.

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

Remove the Packaging

Dispose of/recycle all packaging materials. 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 cover the floor with cardboard or

hardboard to avoid floor damage. 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:

�For counter-depth models, use 1/2" socket wrench to remove

skids (socket extension is recommended).

�All four leveling legs must contact the floor to support and

stabilize the full weight of the refrigerator.

Clean Before Using

After you remove all of the package materials, clean the inside of

your refrigerator before using it. See the “Cleaning” section in this

manual.

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.

water pressure to the refrigerator meets the minimum

requirement.

�If it takes longer than 8 seconds to dispense 1 cup of water, the

water pressure to the refrigerator is lower than recommended.

See online “Troubleshooting” for suggestions.

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 psi and 120 psi (207 kPa 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 psi to 60 psi (276 kPa to

414 kPa).

If the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system is less than

40 psi to 60 psi (276 kPa 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 Water Supply

Read all directions before you begin.

IMPORTANT:

�Connect to potable water supply only.

�Plumbing shall be installed in accordance with the

International Plumbing Code and any local codes and

ordinances.

�The gray 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 or 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. For recommended parts if PEX tubing

is used instead of copper:

W10505928RP (7 ft [2.14 m] jacketed PEX),

8212547RP (5 ft [1.52 m] PEX), or

W10267701RP (25 ft [7.62 m] PEX).

�Install tubing only in areas where temperatures will remain

above freezing.

Tools Needed:

Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation.

Read and follow the instructions provided with any tools listed

here.

�Flat-blade screwdriver

�7/16" and 1/2" open-end wrenches or two adjustable wrenches

�1/4" nut driver

Connect to Water Line

IMPORTANT: If you turn on the refrigerator before the water line is

connected, turn off the ice maker.

Style 1 (Recommended)

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.

Do not overtighten.

3. Locate a 1/2" (1.27 cm) to 1 ¼" (3.18 cm) 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 or PEX tubing you need.

Measure from the connection on the lower rear corner of

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

or PEX tubing. Be sure both ends of copper or PEX tubing are

cut square.

5. Using a cordless drill, drill a 1/4" (6.35 mm) hole in the cold

water pipe you have selected.

B. Pipe clamp

C. Copper or PEX

tubing

D. Compression nut

E. Compression sleeve

F. Shutoff valve

G. Packing nut

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" (6.35 mm)

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 the washer makes a watertight

seal. Do not overtighten, or you may crush the copper or PEX

tubing.

7. 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. 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 tubing.

Preserver, which should be installed prior to use. On some

models, the Produce Preserver is already installed at the factory.

To order a replacement produce preserver, use part number

W10346771.

The Produce Preserver absorbs ethylene, allowing the ripening

process of many produce items to slow down. As a result, certain

produce items will stay fresh longer.

Ethylene production and sensitivity varies depending on the type

of fruit or vegetable. To preserve freshness, it is best to separate

produce with sensitivity to ethylene from fruits that produce

moderate to high amounts of ethylene.

Sensitivity to

REFRIGERATOR FEATURES

Convertible Drawer Temperature

Control (on some models)

The control can be adjusted to properly chill meats or vegetables.

The air inside the pan is cooled to avoid “spot” freezing and can be

set to keep meats at the National Livestock and Meat Board

recommended storage temperatures of 28°F to 32°F (–2°C to 0°C).

To store meat:

Set the control to one of the three Meat settings to store meat at its

optimal storage temperature.

To store vegetables:

Set the control to Veg to store vegetables at their optimal storage

temperatures.

NOTE: If food starts to freeze, move the control to the right (less

cold), toward the Veg setting. Remember to wait 24 hours between

adjustments.

Crisper Humidity Control (on some

models)

You can control the amount of humidity in the moisture-sealed

crisper. 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.

Dual Evaporator (on some models)

Some models come equipped with a dual sequential evaporation

system which includes two separate evaporators for the

refrigerator and freezer compartments.

Dual evaporation results in higher humidity, which helps keep

foods in the refrigerator from spoiling as quickly and improves

food quality and freshness in the freezer due to decreased freezer

burn. In addition, the dual evaporation system helps keep food

smells in the refrigerator from transferring to ice in the freezer.

NOTE: The dual evaporation system is always activated when

your refrigerator is operating. You do not need to press any

buttons to turn it on.

Water and Ice Dispensers

On how to use your water and ice dispensers, see the online

“Side-by-Side Refrigerator Dispensers” Feature Guide.

NOTES:

�Connect to potable water supply only.

�The dispensing system will not operate when either door

(refrigerator or freezer) is open.

�Allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to cool down and chill water.

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

first three batches of ice produced. Wait 72 hours for full ice

production.

�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 pads 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.

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.

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 pad for 5 seconds; then release it for 5 seconds.

2. Repeat step 1 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 gallon (12 L) has been dispensed.

Additional flushing may be required in some households.

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 of water, the

water pressure to the refrigerator is lower than recommended.

See “Water Supply Requirements” or online “Troubleshooting”

for suggestions.

Ice Maker and Storage Bin

�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 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 storage

bin. This can cause damage to the ice container and the

dispenser mechanism.

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

bin.

Style 1
