REFRIGERATOR SAFETY

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.

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately

You

can be killed or seriously injured if you don't

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.

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:

follow instructions.

instructions.

DANGER

WARNING

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.

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.”

■ Properly dispose of packaging.

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.”

Location Requirements

■ Your refrigerator is designed for indoor, household use only.

■ 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

2¹⁄₈" (5.4 cm) minimum on the hinge side (some models

require more) to allow for 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).

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.

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.

2¹⁄₈" (5.4 cm)

¹⁄₂" (1.25 cm)

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) 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.

Water Supply Requirements

Read all directions before you begin.

IMPORTANT:

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

connected, turn the ice maker OFF.

■ 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 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

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

NOTE: Your refrigerator dealer has a kit available with a ¹⁄₄"

(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 ³⁄₁₆"

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

easily.

Water Pressure

A cold water supply with water pressure of between 35 and

100 psi (241 and 689 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 100 psi

(241 and 689 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. Find a ¹⁄₂" to 1¹⁄₄" (12.7 mm to 3.18 mm) vertical cold water

pipe near the refrigerator.

IMPORTANT:

■ Make sure it is a cold water pipe.

■ Horizontal pipe will work, but the following procedure

must be followed: Drill on the top side of the pipe, not the

bottom. This will help keep water away from the drill. This

also keeps normal sediment from collecting in the valve.

4. Determine the length of copper tubing you need. Measure

from the connection on the lower right rear 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 tubing. Be sure

both ends of copper tubing are cut square.

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

5. Using a grounded 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 the 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.

Connect to Refrigerator

Depending on your model, the water line may come down from

the top or up from the bottom. Follow the connection instructions

for your model.

Style 1

1. Remove plastic cap from water valve inlet port. Attach the

copper tube to the valve inlet using a compression nut and

sleeve as shown. Tighten the compression nut. Do not

overtighten. Confirm copper tubing is secure by pulling on

copper tubing.

2. Create a service loop with the copper tubing. Avoid kinks

when coiling the copper tubing. Secure copper tubing to

refrigerator cabinet with a “P” clamp.

3. Turn on water supply to refrigerator and check for leaks.

Correct any leaks.

Style 2

1. Create a service loop (minimum diameter of 2 ft [61 cm]) with

the copper tubing. Avoid kinks when coiling the copper

tubing.

2. Remove the plastic cap from water valve inlet port. Place a

compression nut and sleeve on the copper tubing.

3. Insert the end of the copper tubing into the water valve inlet

port. Shape tubing slightly so that the tubing feeds straight

Normal Sounds

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

Ensuring Proper Air Circulation

In order to ensure proper temperatures, you need to permit

airflow between the refrigerator and freezer sections. As shown in

the illustration, cool air enters the freezer section through vents in

the rear and top. The air flows forward through the freezer section

and recirculates under the freezer floor. Cool air enters the

refrigerator section through the top, flows down and across

shelves to the doors and recirculates to return air vents at the

bottom.

Do not block any airflow vents. 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.

Using the Controls

Your model may have Electronic Controls or Digital Controls.

IMPORTANT:

■ The refrigerator control adjusts the refrigerator compartment

temperature. The freezer control adjusts the freezer

compartment temperature.

■ Wait 24 hours for your refrigerator to cool completely before

adding food. If you add food before the refrigerator has

cooled completely, your food may spoil.

NOTE: Adjusting the Refrigerator and Freezer Controls to a

higher (colder) than recommended 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. See “Ensuring Proper

Air Circulation.”

■ The recommended settings should be correct for normal

household refrigerator use. The controls are set correctly

when milk or juice is as cold as you like and when ice cream

is firm.

Electronic Controls

For your convenience, your refrigerator and freezer controls are

preset at the factory. When you first install your refrigerator, make

sure the controls are still set to the recommended setting as

shown.

Water Dispenser

(on some models)

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

first installed, dispense water into a container until you draw and

discard 2 to 3 gal. (8 to 12 L) or for approximately 6 to 7 minutes

after the water begins dispensing. The water you draw and

discard rinses the pipes. Allow several hours for the refrigerator

to cool down and chill water.

Dispensing Water

1. Hold a container under the dispenser while pressing the

button.

2. Release the button to stop dispensing.

NOTE: Dispense enough water every week to maintain a fresh

supply.

Water Filter Status Light

(on some models)

The water filter status light will help you know when to change

the water filter. When the yellow (Order) light is on, it is almost

a new water filter should be installed. See “Water Filtration

System.”

After replacing the water filter, press and hold FILTER RESET for

3 seconds until the Order or Replace light turns off.

Water Filtration System

IMPORTANT:

■ The water filter should be replaced when the status light is

red (Replace) or earlier if the flow of water to your water

dispenser or ice maker decreases noticeably.

■ Air trapped in the system may cause water and the water

filter to eject. Dispense water for 2 minutes before removing

the used water filter.

Replacing the Water Filter

The water filter mounting bracket is located on the right side of

the refrigerator compartment.

1. Turn the used water filter counterclockwise until it releases

from the filter mounting bracket.

2. Drain water from the water filter into the sink, and discard the

used water filter. Wipe up the excess water in the filter cover.

3. Remove the sealing label from the end of the new water filter

and insert the water filter into the filter mounting bracket.

Gently rotate the water filter clockwise until it stops, and snap

the filter cover closed.

4. 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.

5. Inspect the water filter system for leaks. If you see water

leaks, see “Troubleshooting.”

Using the Dispenser Without a Water Filter

You can use the water dispenser without a water filter, but your

water will not be filtered. If you choose this option, replace the

water filter with the blue bypass cap.15

Ice Maker

Turning the Ice Maker On/Off

NOTE: Do not force the wire shutoff arm up or down.

■ 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.

■ 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.

Ice Production Rate

■ Normal Ice Production: The ice maker should produce a

complete batch of ice every 3 hours. If ice is not being made

fast enough, adjust the Freezer Control to a lower (colder)

number in steps. Wait 24 hours. If necessary, gradually adjust

the Freezer Control to the lowest setting, waiting 24 hours

between each adjustment.

■ OptimIce Production (on some models): The ice maker

should produce approximately 16 to 20 batches of ice in a

24-hour period. If your refrigerator has the OptimIce

production feature, press the OptimIce touchpad.

Remember

■ 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 store anything on top of the ice maker or in the ice

storage bin.

REFRIGERATOR FEATURES

Your model may have some or all of these features.

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.

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.

Refrigerator Shelves

The shelves in your refrigerator are adjustable to meet 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.

Slide-out Shelves

refrigerator and lower the front of the cover frame into place.

2. Slide rear of glass insert into cover frame and lower front into

place.

Crisper Humidity Control

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

crisper. Adjust the control to any setting between LOW and

HIGH.

LOW (open) lets 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.
