Failure to do so can result in death or brain damage.

Before You Throw Away Your Old Refrigerator or Freezer:

• Takeoff thedoors.

• 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." If you are getting rid of

your old refrigerator, please follow these instructions to help

prevent accidents.

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.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

................ Ref ' .......

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.

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."

• Dispose of/recycle all packaging materials.

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."

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.

........................e }se ts

Explosion Hazard

Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as

gasoline, away from refrigerator.

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

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 Cooling OFF, and then disconnect the

refrigerator from the electrical source. When you have finished,

reconnect the refrigerator to the electrical source and turn

Cooling ON. See "Using the Control(s)."

A cold water supply with water pressure between 30 and 120 psi

(207 and 827 kPa) is required to operate the water dispenser and

ice maker. Ifyou 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. The tank capacity could be too low to

keep up with the requirements of the refrigerator.

• 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.

( Was% e

Read all directions before you begin.

IMPORTANT:

• All installations must meet local plumbing code requirements.

• Use copper tubing or Whirlpool supply line, Part Number

8212547RP, and check for leaks.

• Install copper tubing only in areas where the 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 • V4"Nut driver

• 7Ae"and W' Open-end or two • V4"Drill bit

adjustable wrenches • Cordless drill

NOTE: Your refrigerator dealer has a kit available with a V4"

(6.35 mm) saddle-type shutoff valve, a union, and copper tubing.

Before purchasing, make sure asaddle-type valve complies with

your local plumbing codes. Do not use a piercing-type or 3/_e"

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

easily.

Connect to Water Line

Style 1

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 1Y4" (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 V4"

(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 _/4"hole in the cold water pipe

you have selected.

A. Cold water pipe

B. Pipe clamp

C. Copper tubing

D. Compression nut

E.Compression sleeve

F. Shutoff valve

G. Packing nut

some modes}

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.

REFRIGERATOR USE

i s}se s g d C es; sg C' ee s

There are two refrigerator compartment doors. The doors can be

opened and closed either separately or together.

There is a vertically-hinged seal on the left refrigerator door.

• When the left side door is opened, the hinged seal

automatically folds inward so that it is out of the way.

• When both doors are closed, the hinged seal automatically

forms a seal between the two doors.

Temperature Control

For your convenience, the temperature control is preset at the

factory. When you first install your refrigerator, make sure the

control is still set to the recommended setting as shown.

IMPORTANT:

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.

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 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 before adjusting the controls.

REFRIGERATOR CARE

C can

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 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.

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.

Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.

Chang g ' L gstBubs

IMPORTANT:

• Not all appliance bulbs will fit your refrigerator. Be sure to

replace the bulb with an appliance bulb of the same size,

shape and wattage.

• To ensure optimum refrigerator performance, replace light

bulbs as soon as they burn out.

Refrigerator Compartment Light

The lighting located at the top of the refrigerator compartment

never needs to be replaced. If the lights do not illuminate when
