INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Unpack the Refrigerator
Remove the Packaging
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.”
IMPORTANT: Do not remove the white foam air return insert from
behind the control panel on the ceiling of the refrigerator. If the
insert is removed, ice may migrate down from the freezer and
cause icicles to form.
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.”
Location Requirements
To ensure proper ventilation for your refrigerator, allow for a ½"
(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 the
hinge side (some models require more) 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: 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.

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) 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.
Water Supply Requirements
Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation.
Read and follow the instructions provided with any tools listed
here.
TOOLS NEEDED:
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.
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.
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. Locate a ½" to 1¹⁄₄" (1.25 cm to 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 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 ¹⁄₄"
(6.35 mm) O.D. (outside diameter) copper tubing. Be sure both
ends of copper tubing are cut square.
5. Using a grounded drill, drill a ¹⁄₄" hole in the cold water pipe
you have selected.
■ Flat-blade screwdriver
■ ⁷⁄₁₆" and ¹⁄₂" open-end or two
adjustable wrenches
■ ¹⁄₄" nut driver
■ ¹⁄₄" Drill bit
■ Hand drill or electric drill
(properly grounded)

Adjust the Doors
Door Closing
Your refrigerator has two front adjustable rollers – one on the right
and one on the left. If your refrigerator seems unsteady or you
want the doors to close easier, adjust the refrigerator's tilt using
the instructions below.
1. Remove the base grille. See the Base Grille graphic in
“Refrigerator Doors.” The two leveling screws are part of the
front roller assemblies which are at the base of the refrigerator
on either side.
2. Use a screwdriver 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.
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.
3. 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.
4. Replace the base grille.
Align Doors
If the space between your doors looks uneven, you can adjust it
using the instructions below:
1. Pry off the top hinge cover.
2. Loosen the top hinge screws using a ⁵⁄₁₆" socket or wrench.
3. Have someone hold the door in place or put a spacer between
the doors while you tighten the top hinge screws.
4. Replace the top hinge cover.
REFRIGERATOR USE
Using the Controls
For your convenience, your refrigerator controls are preset at the
factory. When you first install your refrigerator, make sure that the
controls are still preset to the mid-settings as shown.
NOTE: To turn your refrigerator off, turn the refrigerator control to
the word OFF or until the word OFF appears. Your product will not
cool when the refrigerator control is set to OFF.
Mid-setting “3”
Mid-setting “3”
IMPORTANT:
■ 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-settings 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. On models with two controls, adjust the
refrigerator temperature first. Wait at least 24 hours between
adjustments and then recheck the temperatures.

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.
Ice Maker
Turning the Ice Maker On/Off
To turn the ice maker ON, simply lower the wire shutoff arm.
To manually turn the ice maker OFF, lift the wire shutoff arm to the
OFF (arm up) position and listen for the click.
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. Do not
force the wire shutoff arm up or down.
Ice Production Rate
■ Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the
first three batches of ice produced.
■ The ice maker should produce approximately 8 to 12 batches
of ice in a 24-hour period.
■ To increase ice production, lower the freezer and refrigerator
temperature. See “Using the Controls.” Wait 24 hours
between adjustments.
■ For maximum ice production (on some models), push the
switch to ICE PLUS. The ice maker should produce 16 to
20 batches of ice in a 24-hour period in the Ice Plus mode.
Remember
■ 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 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 ice bin.
Water Dispenser
IMPORTANT:
■ After connecting the refrigerator to a water source, flush the
water system. 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. As air is cleared from the system, water
may spurt out of the dispenser.
NOTE: After 4 minutes of continuous dispensing, the
dispenser will stop dispensing to avoid flooding. To continue
dispensing, remove the glass and press the dispensing
paddle again.
■ When the refrigerator compartment door is open, the
dispenser will not dispense water and the dispenser control
panel will not display or receive input. The previous settings
will be retained.
Dispense Water
1. Press a sturdy glass against the paddle to start dispensing.
2. Release pressure on the paddle and be sure the water has
stopped dispensing before removing the glass.

Water Filtration System
Water Filter Status Light (on some models)
The water filter status light will help you know when to change
your water filter. The light will change from green to yellow. This
tells you that it is almost time to change the filter. It is
recommended that you replace the water filter when the status
light changes to red OR water flow to your water dispenser or ice
maker decreases noticeably.
After changing the water filter, reset the water filter status light.
The status light will change from red to green when the system is
reset.
Non-indicator Water Filter (on some models)
If your refrigerator does not have the status light, you should
change the water filter every 6 months depending upon your
usage. If the water flow to the water dispenser or ice maker
decreases noticeably before 6 months have passed, replace the
water filter more often.
Using the Dispenser Without the Water Filter
You can run the dispenser without a water filter. Your water will not
be filtered.
1. Remove the water filter.
2. Slide the cap off the end of the filter and replace the cap in the
base grille.
IMPORTANT: Do not discard the cap. It is part of your
refrigerator. Keep the cap to use with the replacement filter.
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.
12
REFRIGERATOR CARE
Cleaning
Both the refrigerator and freezer sections defrost automatically.
However, clean both sections about once a month to avoid build-
up 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 tools.
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.
4. There is no need for routine condenser cleaning in normal
home operating environments. If the environment is
particularly greasy or dusty, or there is significant pet traffic in
the home, the condenser should be cleaned every 2 to
3 months to ensure maximum efficiency.
If you need to clean the condenser:
■ Remove the base grille.
■ Use a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush to clean the grille,
the open areas behind the grille and the front surface area
of the condenser.
■ Replace the base grille when finished.
5. Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.
Changing the Light Bulbs
NOTE: Not all bulbs will fit your refrigerator. Be sure to replace the
bulb with an appliance bulb of the same size, shape, and wattage.
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Remove the bulb from behind the control panel in the
refrigerator or from behind the light shield in the freezer (on
some models). Replace it with a bulb of the same wattage.
3. Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Try the solutions suggested here first in order to avoid the cost of an unnecessary service call.
Refrigerator Operation
The refrigerator will not operate
■ 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.
■ 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.
WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Use nonflammable cleaner.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

WARNING
13
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.
The doors will not close completely
■ Door blocked open? Move food packages away from door.
■ Bin or shelf in the way? Push bin or shelf back in the correct

INSTRUCCIONES DE INSTALACIÓN
Desempaque el refrigerador
Quitar los materiales de empaque
No use instrumentos filosos, alcohol para fricciones, líquidos
inflamables, o productos de limpieza abrasivos para eliminar los
restos de cinta o goma. Estos productos pueden dañar la
superficie de su refrigerador. Para más información, vea la
sección “Seguridad del refrigerador”.
IMPORTANTE: No quite el inserto de espuma blanca de
devolución de aire que está ubicado detrás del panel de control
en el techo del refrigerador. Si se quita el inserto, el hielo puede
bajar del congelador y hacer que se formen gotas de hielo.
Cómo deshacerse adecuadamente de su
refrigerador viejo
IMPORTANTE: El atrapamiento y asfixia de niños no es un
problema del pasado. Los refrigeradores tirados y abandonados
son un peligro, aún si van a quedar ahí “por unos pocos días”. Si
Ud. está por deshacerse de su refrigerador viejo, por favor siga
las instrucciones que se dan a continuación para prevenir
accidentes.
Antes de tirar su viejo refrigerador o congelador:
■ Saque las puertas.
■ Deje los estantes en su lugar para que los niños no puedan
meterse con facilidad.
Para reducir el riesgo de incendio, choque eléctrico, o lesiones personales al usar su refrigerador siga
estas precauciones básicas, incluidas las siguientes:
ADVERTENCIA:
INSTRUCCIONES IMPORTANTES DE SEGURIDAD
CONSERVAR ESTAS INSTRUCCIONES
■
Conecte a un contacto de pared de conexión a tierra de
3 terminales.
■
No quite la terminal de conexión a tierra.
■
No use un adaptador.
■
No use un cable eléctrico de extensión.
■
Desconecte el suministro de energía antes de darle servicio.
■
Vuelva a colocar todos los componentes y paneles antes de
hacerlo funcionar.
■
Remueva las puertas de su refrigerador viejo.
■

ADVERTENCIA
Peligro de Asfixia
Remueva las puertas de su refrigerador viejo.
No seguir esta instrucción puede ocasionar la muerte
o daño al cerebro.
ADVERTENCIA
Peligro de Peso Excesivo
Use dos o más personas para mover e instalar
el refrigerador.

lesión en la espalda u otro tipo de lesiones.
Cómo mover su refrigerador:
Su refrigerador es muy pesado. Cuando mueva su
refrigerador para limpiarlo o darle servicio, proteja el piso.
Al mover el refrigerador, siempre tire directamente hacia
afuera. No menee el refrigerador de lado a lado ni lo haga
“caminar” cuando lo trate de mover ya que podría dañar
el piso.

Limpiar su refrigerador antes de usarlo
Una vez que usted haya quitado todos los materiales de
empaque, limpie el interior de su refrigerador antes de usarlo. Vea
las instrucciones de limpieza en la sección “Cuidado de su
refrigerador”.
Requisitos de ubicación
Para asegurar la adecuada ventilación para su refrigerador, deje
un espacio de ½" (1,25 cm) a cada lado y por encima. Si Ud.
instala el refrigerador próximo a una pared fija, deje como mínimo
2" (5,08 cm) en el lado de la bisagra (algunos modelos necesitan
más espacio) para permitir que la puerta abra bien. Si su
refrigerador tiene una fábrica de hielo, asegúrese de que haya
espacio adicional atrás para las conexiones de la línea de agua.
NOTA: No se recomienda instalar el refrigerador cerca de un
horno, radiador u otra fuente de calor. No instale el refrigerador
en un lugar donde la temperatura puede ser menor de
55°F(13°C).
Requisitos eléctricos
Antes de mover el refrigerador a su ubicación final, es importante
asegurarse de que tiene la conexión eléctrica adecuada.
Método de conexión a tierra recomendado
Se requiere una fuente de energía eléctrica de 115 Voltios, 60 Hz.,
CA solamente y con fusibles de 15 ó 20 amperios, debidamente
conectada a tierra. Se recomienda que use un circuito separado
sólo para su refrigerador. Use un tomacorriente que no se pueda
apagar con un interruptor. No use un cable eléctrico de extensión.
NOTA: Antes de realizar cualquier tipo de instalación, limpieza o
de quitar un foco de luz, ponga el control (del termostato, del
refrigerador o del congelador dependiendo del modelo) en la
posición OFF (Apagado) y luego desconecte el refrigerador de la
fuente de energía. Cuando haya terminado, reconecte el
refrigerador a la fuente de energía eléctrica y vuelva a poner el
control (del termostato, del refrigerador o del congelador
dependiendo del modelo) en la posición deseada.
Requisitos del suministro de agua
Reúna las herramientas y piezas necesarias antes de comenzar la
instalación. Lea y siga las instrucciones provistas con cualquiera
de las herramientas enlistadas aquí.
HERRAMIENTAS NECESARIAS:
NOTA: El distribuidor de su refrigerador tiene un juego disponible
con una válvula de cierre tipo montura de
¹⁄₄" (6,35 mm), una
unión y tubería de cobre. Antes de comprar, asegúrese que la
válvula tipo montura cumpla con los códigos de plomería de su
localidad. No use una válvula perforadora o una válvula de
montura de
³⁄₁₆" (4,76 mm) que reduce el flujo de agua y se
obstruye con más facilidad.
IMPORTANTE:
■ Todas las instalaciones deben hacerse de acuerdo a los
requerimientos locales de plomería.
■ Use tuberías de cobre y revise si hay fugas. Instale tubería de
cobre sólo en áreas donde la temperatura va a permanecer
por encima del punto de congelación.
Información importante para saber acerca de los estantes
y tapas de vidrio:
No limpie los estantes y tapas de vidrio con agua caliente
mientras están fríos. Los estantes y tapas pueden romperse
si se exponen a cambios bruscos de temperatura o impacto,
como sería un golpe brusco. Para su protección, el vidrio
templado se ha diseñado para hacerse añicos. Esto es normal.
Los estantes y tapas de vidrio son muy pesados. Tenga
mucho cuidado al sacarlos para evitar que se dañen al caer.
ADVERTENCIA
Peligro de Explosión
Mantenga los materiales y vapores inflamables,
tales como gasolina, alejados del refrigerador.
No seguir esta instrucción puede ocasionar la muerte,
explosión, o incendio.
