reproductive harm.

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 fingers. Rinse with warm water

and dry with a soft cloth.

■ 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.”

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.”

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.

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

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 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.

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.

Location Requirements

IMPORTANT: This refrigerator is designed for indoor household

use only.

To ensure proper ventilation for your refrigerator, allow for ½"

(1.25 cm) of space on each side and at the top. Allow for 1"

(2.54 cm) of space 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 a 2" (5.08 cm) minimum space on the hinge side (some

models require more) to allow the door to swing open.

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 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 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 finished, 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.

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.

2" (1.25 cm)

2" (5.08 cm)

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

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 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 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 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. Coil the

copper tubing.

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.

Complete the Installation

1. Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

NOTE: Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard

the first three batches of ice produced. Allow 3 days to

completely fill ice container.

Refrigerator Doors

Depending on the width of your doorway, you may need to

remove the doors to move the refrigerator into your home. Also,

the door hinges are factory installed on the right-hand side. If you

want the door to open from the other direction, you must reverse

the door swing.

“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 socket driver 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 which makes it easier to adjust.

3. Open both doors again to make sure they close as easily as

you like and that they stay closed. If not, tilt the refrigerator

slightly more to the rear by turning both leveling screws to the

right. It may take several more turns.

NOTES:

■ To keep the refrigerator level, you should turn both

leveling screws the same amount.

■ On models with the leveling/roller assembly, after

adjusting the refrigerator to the desired tilt, turn the

leveling leg until it is firmly against the floor as shown.

Door Aligning

If the space between your doors looks uneven, you can adjust it

using the following instructions:

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.

Install Air Filter

(on some models)

On some models, your refrigerator's accessory packet includes

an air filter, which must be installed prior to use. On some

models, the air filter is already installed at the factory.

The air filter reduces the buildup of odors. This helps to maintain

a cleaner environment inside the refrigerator.

Installing the Air Filter (on some models)

The filter should be installed behind the vented door, which is

located (depending on your model) along either the rear or left

interior wall near the top of the refrigerator compartment.

1. Remove the air filter from its packaging.

2. Lift open the vented door.

3. Snap the filter into place.

Air Filter Status Indicator (on some models)

Install Produce Preserver

(on some models)

The accessory packet includes two produce preserver pouches,

which should be installed in a crisper drawer prior to use.

NOTE: For best performance, always use two pouches.

The produce preserver absorbs ethylene, to slow the ripening

process of many produce items. As a result, certain produce

items will stay fresh longer.

Ethylene production and sensitivity varies depending on the type

of fruit or vegetable. To preserve freshness, it is best to separate

produce with sensitivity to ethylene from fruits that produce

moderate to high amounts of ethylene.

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.

Ice Maker

(on some models)

IMPORTANT: For models with a water filter, after connecting the

refrigerator to a water source or replacing the water filter, fill and

discard three full containers of ice to prepare the water filter for

use.

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 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 first 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 fill the

ice container.

■ To increase ice production, lower the freezer and refrigerator

temperature. See “Using the Control(s).” 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.

Water Filtration System

Water Filter Status Light

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

your water filter.

1. Locate the water filter in the top-right corner of the

refrigerator compartment.

2. Lift open the filter cover door. The filter will be released and

then be ejected as the door is opened.

3. When the door is completely open, pull the filter straight out.

NOTE: There may be some water in the filter. Some spilling

may occur. Use a towel to wipe up any spills.

4. Take the new filter out of its packaging and remove the

covers from the O-rings. Be sure the O-rings are still in place

after the covers are removed.

5. With the arrow pointing up, align the new filter with the filter

housing and slide it into place. The filter cover door will

automatically begin to close as the new filter is inserted.

6. Close the filter cover door completely in order to snap the

filter into place. You may need to press hard.

7. Make and discard three full containers of ice to prepare the

water filter for use, before using the ice.

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, flammable fluids, 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.

3. Clean the exterior surfaces.

Painted metal: Wash painted metal exteriors with a clean,

soft cloth or sponge and a mild detergent in warm water.

Rinse surfaces with clean, warm water and dry immediately

to avoid water spots.

Stainless steel: Wash stainless steel surfaces with a clean,

soft cloth or sponge and a mild detergent in warm water.

Rinse surfaces with clean, warm water and dry immediately

to avoid water spots.

NOTE: When cleaning stainless steel, always wipe in the

direction of the grain to avoid cross-grain scratching.

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.

WARNING

Explosion Hazard

Use nonflammable cleaner.

Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
