(on some models).

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Proper Disposal of

Your Old Refrigerator

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.

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.

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.

Removing packaging materials

• 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 the "Refrigerator Safety" section.

When Moving Your Refrigerator:

Your refrigerator is heavy. When moving the refrigerator

for cieaning or service, be sure to protect the floor.

Always pulI the refrigerator straight out when moving it.

Do not wiggle or "walk" the refrigerator when trying to move

it, as floor damage could occur.

Cleaning before use

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

of your refrigerator before using it. See the cleaning instructions

in the "Refrigerator Care" section.

_mportant information to know about glass shemves

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 smal!, pebble=size pieces. This is normal= GIass

shelves and covers are heavy= Use special care when re=

moving them to avoid impact from dropping=

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 1/2in.

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

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

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

swing open. If your refrigerator has an ice maker, allow extra

space at the back for the water line connections.

NOTE: Do not install the refrigerator near an oven, radiator, or

other heat source, nor in a location where the temperature will fall

below 55°F (13°C).

ElectricaJShockHazard

Plugintoagrounded3 prong outJet.

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 eJectrical 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 ampere 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.

Read all directions carefully before you begin.

IMPORTANT:

• If you turn the refrigerator on before the water line is

connected, turn the ice maker OFR

• 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.

Tools Required: Flat-blade screwdriver, 7_6in. and 1/2in. open-

end wrenches or 2 adjustable wrenches, 1/4in. nut driver and drill

bit, hand drill or electric drill (properly grounded).

NOTE: Your refrigerator dealer has a kit available with a 1/4in.

(6.35 ram) 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 3/1_in.

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

easily.

Water Pressure

A cold water supply with water pressure of between 30 and

120 psi (207-827 kPa) is required to operate the water dispenser

and ice maker. If you have questions about your water pressure,

see "Troubleshooting" or call a licensed, qualified plumber.

Reverse Osmosis Water Supply

If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is connected to your

cold water supply, the water pressure to the system needs to be

a minimum of 40 to 60 psi (276 - 414 kPa).

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

40 to 60 psi (276 - 414 kPa), a booster pump can be inserted into

the small tubing that goes from the cold water line to the reverse

osmosis system.

If the water dispenser is still not dispensing water properly:

• 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 cartridge, it may further

reduce the water pressure when used in conjunction with a

reverse osmosis system. Remove the water filter cartridge.

See "Water Filtration System."

If you have questions about your water pressure, refer to

"Troubleshooting" or call a licensed, qualified plumber.

Your refrigerator has two front adjustable rollers -- one on the

right and one on the left. If your refrigerator seems unsteady or if

you want the doors to close more easily, adjust the refrigerator's

tilt using the instructions below:

1. Move the refrigerator into its final position.

2. The two leveling screws are part of the front roller assemblies

which are at the base of the refrigerator on either side (see

Graphic 7).

Use a hex-head socket wrench to adjust the leveling screws.

Turn the leveling screw to the right to raise that side of the

refrigerator or turn the leveling screw to the left to lower that

side. It may take several turns of the leveling screws to adjust

the tilt of the refrigerator (see Graphic 7).

NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the

refrigerator takes some weight off the leveling screws and

rollers. This makes it easier to adjust the screws.

4. Open both doors again and check to make sure that they

close as easily as you like. If not, tilt the refrigerator slightly

more to the rear by turning both leveling screws to the right. It

may take several more turns, and you should turn both

leveling screws the same amount.

5. Replace the base grille.

NOTE: Be sure to refasten the Tech Sheet behind the base grille.

Turn OFF main water supply. Turn ON nearest faucet long

enough to clear line of water.

Locate a 1/2in. to 11/4in. (1.25 cm to 3.18 cm) vertical COLD

water pipe near the refrigerator.

NOTE: 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.

Determine the length of copper tubing you need. Measure

from the connection on the lower left rear of refrigerator to the

water pipe. Add 7 ft. (2.1 m) to allow for cleaning. Use 1/4in.

(6.35 mm) O.D. (outside diameter) copper tubing. Be sure

both ends of copper tubing are cut square.

Using a grounded drill, drill a 1/4in. hole in the cold water pipe

you have selected.

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 product 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. Air then returns to the freezer as

shown.

Slide Controls (on some models)

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

When installing your refrigerator, make sure that the controls are

still preset to the "mid-settings" as shown.

IMPORTANT:

• For Style 1, your product will not cool when the Refrigerator

control is set to OFR For Style 2, your product will not cool

when the Freezer Control is set to OFR

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

bread, etc. If the vents are blocked, airflow will be prevented and

the temperature controls will not function properly. •

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 prevent

odor transfer from food, wrap or cover foods tightly.

Settings to the left of the mid-setting make the temperature

less cold. Settings to the right of the mid-setting make the

temperature colder.

The Automatic Exterior Moisture control continuously guards

against moisture buildup on the outside of your refrigerator

cabinet. This control does not have to be set or adjusted.

Adjusting Slide Controls

Your model may have Slide Controls or Digital Controls.

IMPORTANT (All Controls):

• 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

lower (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.

NOTE: Wait at least 24 hours between adjustments. Recheck the

temperatures before other adjustments are made.

If you need to adjust temperatures:

• Slide the FREEZER or REFRIGERATOR control, one setting to

the right or left depending on the needed temperature

change.

NOTE: For Style 1, after adjusting the refrigerator

temperature, wait 24 hours and then recheck the FREEZER

temperature before making additional adjustments.

Temperature

System

Cut Hazard

Use a sturdy gJass when dispensing ice or water.

Failure to do so can result in cuts.

Depending on your model, you may have one or more of the

following options: the ability to select either crushed or cubed

ice, a special light that turns on when you use the dispenser, or a

lock option to avoid accidental dispensing.

The Ice Dispenser

Ice dispenses from the ice maker storage bin in the freezer. When

the dispenser lever is pressed:

• A trap door opens in a chute between the dispenser and the

ice bin. Ice moves from the bin and falls through the chute.

• When you release the dispenser lever, the trap door closes

and the ice dispensing stops. The dispensing system will not

operate when the freezer door is open.

Some models dispense both cubed and crushed ice. Before

dispensing ice, select which type of ice you prefer. The button

controls are designed for easy use and cleaning.

ICE

CRUSH CUBE

For crushed ice, cubes are crushed before being dispensed. This

may cause a slight delay when dispensing crushed ice. Noise

from the ice crusher is normal, and pieces of ice may vary in size.

When changing from CRUSH to CUBE, a few ounces of crushed

ice will be dispensed along with the first cubes.

To dispense ice:

1. Press button for the desired type of ice.

2. Press a sturdy glass against the ice dispenser lever. Hold the

glass close to the dispenser opening so ice does not fall

outside of the glass.

IMPORTANT: You do not need to apply a lot of pressure to

the lever in order to activate the ice dispenser, Pressing hard

will not make the ice dispense faster or in greater quantities.

Remove the glass to stop dispensing.

NOTE: The first few batches of ice may have an off-flavor

from new plumbing and parts. Throw the ice away. Also, take

large amounts of ice from the ice bin, not through the

dispenser.

The Water Dispenser

If you did not flush the water system when the refrigerator was

first installed, press the water dispenser bar with a glass or jar

until you draw and discard 2to 3 gal. (8 to 12 L) or approximately

6 to 7 minutes of water after water begins dispensing. It will take

3 to 4 minutes for the water to begin dispensing. The water you

draw and discard cleans the system and helps clear air from the

lines. Allow several hours for the refrigerator to cool down and

chill water.

IMPORTANT: Depending on your model, the small removable

tray at the bottom of the dispenser is designed to catch small

spills and allow for easy cleaning. There is no drain in the tray.

The tray can be removed from the dispenser and carried to the

sink to be emptied or cleaned.

To dispense water:

1. Press a glass against the water dispenser lever.

2. Remove the glass to stop dispensing.

NOTE: Water may have an off-flavor if you do not use the

dispenser periodically. Dispense enough water every week to

maintain a fresh supply.

The Dispenser Light

The dispenser area has a light. It can be turned on manually by

pressing the ON button (touchpad or rocker switch).

On some models: Whenever you use the dispenser, the lever will

automatically turn the light on.

LIGHT

OFF ON

NOTE: See the "Changing the Light Bulbs" section for

information on changing the dispenser light bulb.

The Dispenser Lock (on some models)

Your dispenser can be turned off for easy cleaning or to prevent

accidental dispensing by small children and pets.

NOTE: The lock feature does not shut off power to the

refrigerator, to the ice maker, or to the dispenser light. It simply

deactivates the dispenser levers.

To turn off the dispenser, press the LOCK button. The indicator

will appear above the LOCK button and the ice and water

dispensers will not work. To unlock the dispenser, press the

UNLOCK button until the indicator appears. Then continue to

Flushing the Water System After Replacing Filter

Use a sturdy container to depress the water dispenser bar until

the water begins to flow. Flush the water system by dispensing

and discarding 2 to 3 gal. (8 to 12 L) of water. Cleaning the

system will take approximately 6 to 7 minutes and will help clear

air from the line. Additional flushing may be required in some

households.

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

the dispenser.

Using the Dispenser Without the Water Filter Cartridge

You can run the dispenser without a water filter cartridge. Your

water will not be filtered.

1. Remove the base grille water filter cartridge.

2. Slide the cartridge cap off the end of the filter cartridge. Do

not discard the cap. With the cartridge cap in the vertical

position, insert the cap into the base grille until it stops.

3. Rotate the cartridge cap to a horizontal position. The

cartridge cap might not be even with the base grille.

Style 1

To turn the ice maker on/off:

The on/off switch for the ice maker is a wire shutoff arm located

on the side of the ice maker.

1. To turn the ice maker on, simply lower the wire shutoff arm.

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 will raise the wire shutoff arm to the OFF (arm up)

position.

2. To manually turn the ice maker off, lift the wire shutoff arm to

the OFF (arm up) position and listen for the click to make sure

the ice maker will not continue to operate.

To increase ice production rate:

MAX

Normal Ice Production: In normal ice production mode, the

ice maker should produce approximately 7 to 9 batches of ice

in a 24-hour period. If ice is not being made fast enough, turn

the Freezer Control toward a higher (colder) number in half

number steps. (For example, if the control is at 3, move it to

between 3 and 4.) Wait 24 hours between each increase.

Maximum Ice Production (on some models): In maximum ice

production, the ice maker should produce approximately 10

to 14 batches of ice in a 24-hour period. If your refrigerator

has the maximum ice production feature, push the switch to

MAX.

To remove and replace ice storage bin:

1. Pull the covering panel out 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.

Ice can still be dispensed, but no more can be made.

3. Lift up the front of the storage bin and pull it out.

Replace the bin by pushing it in all the way or the dispenser

will not work. Push the wire shutoff arm down to the ON

position to restart ice production. Make sure the door is

closed tightly.

maker sensors will automatically stop ice production, but the

control will remain in the ON (left) position.

2. To manually turn the ice maker off, slide the control to the

OFF (right) position.

To remove and replace the ice storage bin:

1. 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 the

OFF (right) position when removing the storage bin. The

sensor cover ("flipper door") on the left wall of the freezer

stops the ice maker from producing ice if the door is open or

the storage bin is removed.

2. Replace the storage bin on the door and push down to make

sure it is securely in place.

Clean the Ice Storage Bin

Empty the ice container. Use warm water to melt the ice if

necessary.

NOTE: Never use anything sharp to break up the ice in the

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

dispenser mechanism.

2. Wash ice 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.

• For Style 1 ice maker, do not force the wire shutoff arm up or

down.

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

storage bin.

_mportant information to know about glass shelves

and covers:

Do not ciean 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 re-

moving them to avoid impact from dropping.

Your model may have glass or wire shelves. Store similar foods

together and adjust the shelves to fit different heights. This

reduces the time the refrigerator door is open and saves energy.

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

[907-1,360 g per 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.
