Proper Disposalof YourOld Refrigerator
Suffocation Hazard
Remove doors from your old refrigerator.
Failure to do so can result in death or brain damage.
Before You Throw Away Your Old Refrigerator or Freezer:
• Takeoff the doors.
• Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily
climb inside.
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." Ifyou are getting rid of
your old refrigerator, please follow these instructions to help
prevent accidents.

<Be ge ot
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
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."
On some models, shelves, bins, door shelf rails, and other
feature parts may be packaged in the Interior FeaturePak.
Follow the instructions contained in the package for proper
assembly.
There are four bolts that secure the refrigerator to the shipping
case. Keep these bolts because they are the refrigerator's
leveling legs.
• Dispose of/recycle all packaging materials.
IMPORTANT: Do not remove the white foam air return insert that
is located behind the control panel on the ceiling of the refrigerator
(on some models). The insert is part of the refrigerator and not
part of the packing material. If the insert is removed, ice may
migrate down from the freezer and cause icicles to form.
When IVlovingYour 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.
Clean Before Using
After you remove all of the package materials, clean the inside of
your refrigerator before using it. See the cleaning instructions in
"Refrigerator Care."
_' == _= I ...... == ' '+>==' ' _'
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 a 1/2"
(12.70 mm) space on each side. Allow 3" (7.5 cm) of space
between overhead cabinets and refrigerator top. Allow at least 1"
(25.40 mm) between back of cabinet and the wall. If your
refrigerator has an ice maker, make sure you leave some extra
space at the back for the water line connections.
• If you are installing your refrigerator next to a fixed wall, leave
2" (5.08 cm) minimum on the hinge side (depending on your
model) to allow for the door to swing open.
• Level the refrigerator. See "Adjust the Doors."
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).

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.
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. See "Using the
Control(s)."
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 • %" (6.35 mm) nut
driver
• 7/le"(11.11 mm) andV2"(12.7mm)
open-end or two adjustable • V4"(6.35 mm) drill bit
wrenches
• Cordless drill
NOTE: Your refrigerator dealer has a kit available with a W'
(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 34e"
(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 Pressure
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.
(os'_some modes}
Read all directions before you begin.
IMPORTANT: Ifyou 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. Locate a W' to 11/4"(1.27 cm to 3.18 cm) vertical cold water
pipe near the refrigerator.
IM PORTANT:
• 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 tubing you will need. Measure
from the connection on lower left 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.
5. Using a cordless drill, drill a Y4"hole in the cold water pipe you
have selected.

Your refrigerator has two front adjustable rollers - one on the right
and one on the left. Ifyour refrigerator seems unsteady or you
want the doors to close easier, adjust the refrigerator's tilt using
the instructions below.
Depending on your model, your refrigerator may have leveling
legs (Style 1) or leveling screws (Style 2). They are part of the front
roller assemblies which are found at the base of the refrigerator on
either side.
1.
Turn the leveling legs or leveling screws to the right to raise
that side of the refrigerator or to the left to lower that side. It
may take several turns to adjust the tilt of the refrigerator.
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.
2.
Open both doors again and be 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.
Style I
Style 2
3.
Using a level, be sure that the refrigerator is still level side to
side. Readjust if necessary.
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.
REFRIGERATORUSE
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 through the bottom of the freezer
section and moves up. Most of the air then flows through the
freezer section vents and recirculates under the freezer floor. The
rest of the air enters the refrigerator section through the top vent.
Do not block any of these vents with food packages. If the vents
are blocked, airflow will be restricted 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.

IM PORTANT:
Give your refrigerator time to cool down completely before
adding food. It is best to wait 24 hours before you put food
into the refrigerator.
If you add food before the refrigerator has cooled completely,
your food may spoil. Adjusting the Refrigerator and Freezer
Controls to a higher (colder) than recommended setting will
not cool the compartments any faster.
Adjusting Controls
The mid-setting indicated in the previous section 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.
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.
If you need to adjust temperatures, use the settings listed in the
chart below as a guide. Wait at least 24 hours between
adjustments and then recheck the temperatures.

To Turn 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 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
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
Temperature 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 and, if necessary, gradually turn
the Temperature Control to the highest setting, waiting 24 hours
between each increase.
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 asoftened 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.
REFRIGERATORFEATURES
Your model may have some or all of these features. Features that
can be purchased separately as product accessories are labeled
with the word "Accessory." Not all accessories will fit all models.
See the "Assistance or Service" section if you are interested in
purchasing one of the accessories.

The shelves in your refrigerator are adjustable to match your
individual storage needs.
Storing similar food items together in your refrigerator and

Fruit and Vegetable Storage Guide
Fruits: 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 bag or plastic container
and store in crisper.
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.
{on some modes ,,,Aeoesso;_y
Depending on your model, you may have a one, two or three
piece bin. Eggs may be stored in the egg tray or loose in the bin.
NOTE: Store eggs in a covered container for long-term storage. If
your model does not have an egg storage bin, store eggs in their
original container on an interior shelf.
FREEZERFEATURES
Your model may have some or all of these features. Features that
can be purchased separately as product accessories are labeled
with the word "Accessory." Not all accessories will fit all models.
See the "Assistance or Service" section if you are interested in
purchasing one of the accessories.
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. Seal the package
or container securely to avoid taste and odor transfer throughout
the product. 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 2-3 Ibs of food per cubic foot [907-1,350 g
per L] of freezer space). Leave enough space in the freezer for air
to circulate around packages. Leave enough room for the door to
close tightly.
NOTE: For more information on preparing food for freezing, check
a freezer guide or reliable cookbook.
DOOR FEATURES
Your model may have some or all of these features. Features that
can be purchased separately as product accessories are labeled
with the word "Accessory." Not all accessories will fit all models.
See the "Assistance or Service" section if you are interested in
purchasing one of the accessories.

REFRIGERATORCARE
Explosion Hazard
Use nonflammable cleaner.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
Both the refrigerator and freezer sections defrost automatically.
However, clean both compartments about once a month to avoid
buildup of odors. Wipe up spills immediately.
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.
To Clean Your Refrigerator:
NOTE: Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners such as window
sprays, scouring cleansers, flammable fluids, cleaning waxes,
concentrated detergents, bleaches or cleansers containing
petroleum products on plastic parts, interior and door liners or
gaskets. Do not use paper towels, scouring pads, or other harsh
cleaning tool
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Hand wash, rinse, and dry removable parts and interior
surfaces thoroughly. Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a
mild detergent in warm water.
3. Wash stainless steel and painted metal exteriors with a clean
sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water. Dry
thoroughly with a soft cloth. For additional protection against
damage to painted metal exteriors, apply appliance wax (or
auto paste wax) with a clean, soft cloth. Do not wax plastic
parts.
NOTE: To keep your stainless steel refrigerator looking like
new and to remove minor scuffs or marks, it is suggested that
you use the manufacturer's approved Stainless Steel Cleaner
and Polish. To order the cleaner, see the "Accessories"
section.
4=
IMPORTANT: This cleaner is for stainless steel parts only!
Do not allow the Stainless Steel Cleaner and Polish to come
into contact with any plastic parts such as the trim pieces,
dispenser covers or door gaskets. If unintentional contact
does occur, clean plastic part with a sponge and mild
detergent in warm water. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
Clean the condenser coils regularly. Coils may need to be
cleaned as often as every other month. This may help save
energy.
• Pull refrigerator out away from the wall. See "Unpack the
Refrigerator."
• Vacuum coils when they are dusty or dirty.
• Roll refrigerator back into place. Make sure to leave 1"
(2.5 cm) between the cabinet back and the wall.
• Check to see that the refrigerator is level.
5. Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.
Cnc I;t,gssgtse
NOTE: Not all appliance bulbs will fit your refrigerator. Be sure to
replace the bulb with one of the same size, shape, and wattage.
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Reach behind the control panel and unscrew the bulb.
3. Replace the bulb with a 40-watt appliance bulb.
4. Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.
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. If you see that food contains ice crystals, it may be
refrozen, although the quality and flavor may be affected. If the
condition of the food is poor, dispose of it.
Vacations
If You Choose to Leave the Refrigerator On While You're
Away:
1. Use up any perishables and freeze other items.
2. If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker:
• Raise wire shutoff arm to OFF (up) position or move the
switch to the OFF (right) setting.
• Shut off water supply to the ice maker.
3. Empty the ice bin.

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.
The refrigerator seems noisy
Refrigerator noise has been reduced over the years. Due to this
reduction, you may hear intermittent noises from your new
refrigerator that you did not notice from your old model. Below are
listed some normal sounds with explanations.
• Buzzing - heard when the water valve opens to fill the ice
maker.
Pulsating - fans/compressor adjusting to optimize
performance.
Hissing/Rattling - flow of refrigerant, movement of water
lines, or from items placed on top of the refrigerator.
Sizzling/Gurgling - water dripping on the heater during
defrost cycle.
Popping - contraction/expansion of inside walls, especially
during initial cool-down.
Water running - may be heard when water melts during the
defrost cycle and runs into the drain pan.
Creaking/Cracking - occurs as ice is being ejected from the
ice maker mold.
