■ Take off the doors.
■ Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily
climb inside.
INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS
Unpack the Refrigerator
Remove the Packaging
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.
■ 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 ngers. Wipe with warm water
and dry with a soft cloth.
■ Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, ammable
uids, or abrasive cleaners to remove tape or glue. These
products can damage the surface of your refrigerator. For
more information, see “Refrigerator Safety.”
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.”
WARNING
Suffocation Hazard
Remove doors from your old refrigerator.
Failure to do so can result in death or brain damage.
Important information to know about disposal of
refrigerants:
Dispose of refrigerator in accordance with Federal and Local
regulations. Refrigerants must be evacuated by a licensed,
EPA certified refrigerant technician in accordance with
established procedures.
WARNING
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install

Location Requirements
IMPORTANT: This refrigerator is designed for indoor household
use only.
To ensure proper ventilation for your refrigerator, it is
recommended to allow a 1/2" (1.25 cm) space on each side.
Allow 1½" (3.81 cm) of space between overhead cabinets and
refrigerator top. Allow at least 1" (2.54 cm) between back of
cabinet and the wall (consider the condenser as back in case is
present). If your refrigerator has an ice maker, allow extra space at
the back for the water line connections.
If you are installing your refrigerator next to a xed wall, leave
enough space on the hinge side to allow the door to swing open.
Level the refrigerator. See "Adjust the Doors" part of this manual.
NOTE: This refrigerator is intended for use in a location where the
temperature ranges from a minimum of 55°F (13°C) to a maximum
of 110°F (43°C). The preferred room temperature range for
optimum performance, which reduces electricity usage and
provides superior cooling, is between 60°F (15°C) and 90°F
(32°C). It is recommended that you do not install the refrigerator
near a heat source, such as an oven or radiator.
Electrical Requirements
Before you move your refrigerator into its nal 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 A 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 or cleaning,
or removing a light bulb, turn cooling off or 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 nished, reconnect the
refrigerator to the electrical source and turn cooling on or
reset the control (Thermostat, Refrigerator, or Freezer control,
depending on the model) to the desired setting. See “Using the
Controls” in the User Instructions, User Guide, or Use & Care
Guide.
Water Supply Requirements
Read all directions before you begin.
IMPORTANT:
■ Connect to potable water supply only.
■ 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: Flat-blade screwdriver, 7/16" and 1/2" open-
end wrenches or 2 adjustable wrenches, 1/4" nut driver and drill
bit, cordless drill. Gather the required tools and parts before
starting installation. Read and follow the instructions provided
with any tools listed.
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 ow and clogs more
easily.
WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Keep ammable materials and vapors, such as
gasoline, away from refrigerator.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or re.

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
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.
5
Water Pressure
A cold water supply with water pressure between 30 and 120 psi
(207 and 827 kPa) is required to operate the ice maker. If you have
questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, qualied
plumber.
Reverse Osmosis Water Supply
If a reverse osmosis water ltration 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 ice maker is still not operating properly:
■ Check to see whether the sediment lter in the reverse
osmosis system is blocked. Replace the lter if necessary.
■ Allow the storage tank on the reverse osmosis system to rell
after heavy usage.
If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed,
qualied plumber.
Connect the Water Supply
(on some models)
Read all directions before you begin.
IMPORTANT: If you turn the refrigerator on before the water line
is connected, turn the ice maker off to avoid excessive noise or
damage to the water valve.
Connect the 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 1/2" to 1¹⁄
4
" (1.27 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. 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 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 washer makes a watertight seal. Do not
overtighten.
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. Coil the
copper tubing.
Connect to Refrigerator
NOTE: On kit models, attach water valve to refrigerator according
to kit instructions.
Style 1
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Attach the copper tube to the valve inlet using a compression
nut and sleeve as shown. Tighten the compression nut. Do
not overtighten.
3. Use the tube clamp on the back of the refrigerator to secure
the tubing to the refrigerator as shown. This will help avoid
damage to the tubing when the refrigerator is pushed back
against the wall.
4. Turn shutoff valve ON.
5. Check for leaks. Tighten any connections (including
connections at the valve) or nuts that leak.
6. The ice maker is equipped with a built-in water strainer. If your
water conditions require a second water strainer, install it in
the 1/4" (6.35 mm) water line at either tube connection. Obtain
a water strainer from your nearest appliance dealer.
Style 2
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Disconnect the tube clamp on the back of the product and
insert the copper tubing through the clamp as shown.
3. Attach the copper tube to the valve inlet using a compression

Door Closing
Your refrigerator has two front adjustable levelers - one on the
right and one on the left. To avoid a hazard due to instability, if
your refrigerator seems unsteady or you want the doors to close
easier, adjust the refrigerator's tilt using the following instructions:
1. Turn the leveler to lower or raise that side of the refrigerator.
It may take several turns to adjust the tilt of the refrigerator.
■ To raise, turn the leveler to the right.
■ To lower, turn the leveler to the left.
NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the
refrigerator takes some weight off the levelers and rollers
which makes it easier to adjust.
2. Open both doors again to make sure they close as easily as
you like. If not, tilt the refrigerator slightly more to the rear by
turning both leveling legs to the left; it may take several more
turns.
NOTE: To keep the refrigerator level, you should turn both
leveling legs the same amount.
3. Using a level, be sure that the refrigerator is still level side to
side. Readjust if necessary.
Door Aligning
If the space between your doors looks uneven, you can adjust it
using the following instructions:
1. Depending on your model, remove 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, if removed in Step 1.

REFRIGERATOR USE
Using the Controls
Your refrigerator has two controls that affect the temperature.
The Temperature control located at the top front of the refrigerator
compartment and the Airow control located on the back wall of
the freezer compartment.
IMPORTANT:
■ The recommended setting 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 rm.
■ 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 temperature
controls to a 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, rst check the air vents to be sure they are not
blocked before adjusting the controls.

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 to 3 lbs of food per cubic foot [907
to 1,350 g per L] of freezer space). Leave enough space in the
freezer for air to circulate around packages. The freezer door must
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.
Door Rails
The door rails may be removed for easier cleaning.
To remove and replace the rails:
1. Depending on your model, remove the rails by pushing in
slightly on the front of the bracket while pulling out on the

Ice Maker
IMPORTANT: For models with a water lter, after connecting the
refrigerator to a water source or replacing the water lter, ll and
discard three full containers of ice to prepare the water lter for
use.
For products without any part of the ice dispensing circuit, ice
maker and internal water circuit parts can only be installed by the
Manufacturer or by its Service Agent.
For Easy Connect (ice maker ready) products, ice maker can be
easily installed by the user, following instruction given with the kit.
In "Accessories" part of this manual you can nd the ice maker
part number to be purchased.
Turning the Ice Maker On/Off
To turn the ice maker on, simply lower the wire shut-off arm.
To manually turn the ice maker off, lift the wire shut-off 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 ll the ice storage bin and the ice cubes will
raise the wire shut-off arm to the Off (arm up) position. Do not
force the wire shut-off arm up or down.
Ice Storage Bin
1. Wash the ice storage bin with mild soap and warm water.
2. Slide the ice storage bin under the ice maker and push it
toward the back as far as it will go.
3. Lower the arm on the ice maker to the On position.
NOTE: It usually takes approximately 24 hours for the ice
maker to begin producing ice. You may notice the ice has
an “off-taste.” If so, discard the rst three batches of ice
produced. After that the “off-taste” should be gone.
Ice Production Rate
■ The ice maker should produce approximately 8 to 12 batches
of ice in a 24-hour period. Allow 3 days to completely ll the
ice container.
■ To increase ice production, lower the freezer and refrigerator
temperatures. See “Using the Controls.” Wait 24 hours
between adjustments.
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 storage bin and the dispenser
mechanism.
■ Do not store anything on top of or in the ice maker or ice
storage bin.
REFRIGERATOR CARE
Cleaning
Both the refrigerator and freezer sections defrost automatically.
However, clean both sections 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.
■ For stainless steel models, stainless steel is corrosion
resistant and not corrosion-proof. To help avoid corrosion of
your stainless steel, keep your surfaces clean by using the
following cleaning instructions.
To Clean Your Refrigerator:
NOTE: Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners such as window
sprays, scouring cleansers, ammable uids, muriatic acid,
cleaning waxes, concentrated detergents, bleaches or cleansers
containing petroleum products on exterior surfaces (doors and
cabinet), 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.
WARNING
Explosion Hazard
