Proper Disposal of Your Old Refrigerator

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.

IMPORTANT: Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems

of the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators are still dangerous

your old refrigerator, please follow these instructions to help

prevent accidents.

BEFORE USE

Removing Packaging Materials

• 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."

Cleaning Before Use

After you remove all of the packaging materials, clean the inside

of your refrigeratoer before using it. See the cleaning instructions

in "Refrigerator Care."

Please read before using the water system.

Immediately after installation, follow the steps below to make

sure that the water system is properly cleaned.

1. Open the freezer door and turn off the ice maker. For Style 1,

lift up the wire shutoff arm as shown. For Style 2, move the

switch to the OFF (right) setting as shown. The ON/OFF

switch is located on the top right side of the freezer

compartment.

Style 1

Style 2

NOTES:

• If your model has a base grille filter system, make sure the

base grille filter is properly installed and the cartridge cap

handle is in the horizontal position.

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.

Use a sturdy container to depress the water dispenser bar

until the water begins to flow. Flush the water system by

dispensing and discarding 2 to 3 gal. (8 to 12 L) of water.

Cleaning the system will take approximately 6 to 7 minutes

and will help clear air from the line. Additional flushing may be

required in some households.

NOTE: As air is cleared from the system, water may spurt out

of the dispenser.

Open the freezer door and turn on the ice maker. For Style 1,

lower the wire shutoff arm. For Style 2, move the switch to

the ON (left) position. Please refer to the "Ice Maker and

Storage Bin" section for further instructions on the operation

of your ice maker.

• Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice.

• Discard the first three batches of ice produced.

• Depending on your model, you may want to select the

maximum ice feature to increase the production of ice.

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.

))): _

In order to ensure proper temperatures, you need to permit

airflow between the two sections. Cold air enters the bottom of

the freezer section and moves up. It then enters the refrigerator

section through the top vent. Air then returns to the freezer as

shown.

/ii .............................

Do not block any of these vents with food such as soda, cereal,

bread, etc. If the vents are blocked, airflow will be prevented and

the temperature controls will not function properly.

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 prevent

odor transfer from food, wrap or cover foods tightly.

IMPORTANT:

• The refrigerator control adjusts the refrigerator compartment

temperature. The freezer control adjusts the freezer

compartment temperature.

Wait 24 hours after you turn on the refrigerator before you put

food into it. If you add food before the refrigerator has cooled

completely, your food may spoil.

NOTE: Adjusting the refrigerator and freezer controls to a

lower (colder) setting will not cool the compartments any

faster.

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.

The preset settings 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.

NOTE: The factory recommended set points are 0°F (-18°C)for

the freezer and 37°F (3°C) for the refrigerator.

Pressing the OVER TEMPERATURE RESET will shut off the audio

alarm, but this does not affect the indicator light the first time the

OVER TEMPERATURE RESET is pressed. The indicator light will

shut off once the OVER TEMPERATURE RESET is pressed the

second time. The audio alarm will not sound again for the current

condition that caused the alarm until a new condition occurs or

until a Master Alarm Reset is performed.

A Master Alarm Reset can be performed by pressing the POWER

(ON/OFF) twice or by turning the power to the refrigerator off and

on again. See "Power On/Off Switch." The indicator light will

reactivate after the OVER TEMPERATURE RESET is pressed if

the condition that caused the alarm is still present. See "Over

Temperature," "Call Service," or "Door Open."

Over Temperature

The Over Temperature feature is designed to let you know when

either the refrigerator temperature rises above 48°F (9°C) or the

freezer temperature rises above 15°F (-9°C) for longer than

11/2hours. The audio alarm will shut off automatically when the

temperature returns to normal, but the indicator light will continue

to flash to let you know that an over temperature condition has

occurred until the OVER TEMPERATURE RESET is pressed.

If the over temperature condition is still present when an Over

Temperature Reset is performed, the indicator light will continue

to reactivate every 11/2hours until refrigerator and freezer

temperatures are below 48°F (9°C) and 15°F (-9°C), respectively.

Top Grille Temperature Display (Pro Line TMModels Only)

The top grille temperature display shows the freezer and

refrigerator temperatures. The display will show either Fahrenheit

or Celsius, depending on the selected reading inside the

refrigerator.

During the defrost cycle, the temperature display will show the

temperature set points.

The Ice Dispenser

Ice dispenses from the ice maker storage bin in the freezer. When

the dispenser lever is pressed:

• A trap door opens in a chute between the dispenser and the

ice bin. Ice moves from the bin and falls through the chute.

• When you release the dispenser lever, the trap door closes

and the ice dispensing stops. The dispensing system will not

operate when the freezer door is open.

Some models dispense both cubed and crushed ice. Before

dispensing ice, select which type of ice you prefer. The button

controls are designed for easy use and cleaning.

ICE

CRUSH CUBE

For crushed ice, cubes are crushed before they are dispensed.

This may cause a slight delay when dispensing crushed ice.

Noise from the ice crusher is normal, and pieces of ice may vary

in size. When changing from crushed to cubed, a few ounces of

crushed ice will be dispensed along with the first cubes.

To Dispense Ice:

1. Press button for the desired type of ice.

2. Press a sturdy glass against the ice dispenser lever. Hold the

glass close to the dispenser opening so ice does not fall

outside of the glass.

IMPORTANT: You do not need to apply a lot of pressure to

the lever in order to activate the ice dispenser. Pressing hard

will not make the ice dispense faster or in greater quantities.

Cut Hazard

Use a sturdy glass when dispensing ice or water.

Failure to do so can result in cuts.

Depending on your model, you may have one or more of the

following options: the ability to select either crushed or cubed

ice, a special light that turns on when you use the dispenser, or a

lock option to avoid unintentional dispensing.

Remove the glass to stop dispensing.

NOTE: The first few batches of ice may have an off-flavor

from new plumbing and parts. Throw the ice away. Also, take

large amounts of ice from the ice bin, not through the

dispenser.

The Water Dispenser

If you did not flush the water system when the refrigerator was

first installed, press the water dispenser bar with asturdy glass or

jar until you draw and discard 2 to 3 gal. (8 to 12 L) or

approximately 6 to 7 minutes of water after water begins

dispensing. It will take 3 to 4 minutes for the water to begin

dispensing. The water you draw and discard cleans the system

and helps clear air from the lines. Allow several hours for the

refrigerator to cool down and chill water.

IMPORTANT: Depending on your model, the small removable

tray at the bottom of the dispenser is designed to catch small

spills and allow for easy cleaning. There is no drain in the tray.

The tray can be removed from the dispenser and carried to the

sink to be emptied or cleaned.

ToDispense Water:

1. Press a sturdy glass against the water dispenser lever.

2. Remove the glass to stop dispensing.

NOTE: Water may have an off-flavor if you do not use the

dispenser periodically. Dispense enough water every week to

maintain a fresh supply.

A new water filter should display a reading of 99% and will

continue to decrease as the filter life is used. When display reads

10%, it is time to order a replacement filter. It is recommended

that you replace the base grille water filter cartridge when the

water filter indicator light changes to 0% OR when water flow to

your water dispenser or ice maker decreases noticeably. See

"Changing the Base Grille Filter."

Style I

To turn the ice maker on/off:

The on/off switch for the ice maker is a wire shutoff arm located

on the side of the ice maker.

1. 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 will fill the ice storage bin and the ice

cubes will raise the wire shutoff arm to the OFF (arm up)

position.

2. 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.

To remove and replace the ice bin:

1. Flip up the covering panel.

A .........................

A. Ice maker cover

2. Lift the wire shutoff arm so it clicks into the OFF (up)

position. Ice can still be dispensed, but no more can be

made.

3. Lift up the front of the storage bin and pull the ice bin forward.

4. Replace the bin by pushing it in all the way or the dispenser

will not work. Push the wire shutoff arm down to the ON

position to restart ice production. Make sure the door is

closed tightly.

Style 2

To turn the ice maker on/off:

The on/off switch is located on the top right side of the freezer

compartment.

1. Toturn the ice maker on, slide the control to the ON (left)

position.

NOTE: Your ice maker has an automatic shutoff. The ice

maker sensors will automatically stop ice production, but the

control will remain in the ON (left) position.

2. To manually turn the ice maker off, slide the control to the

OFF (right) position.

To remove and replace the ice storage bin:

1. Hold the base of the storage bin with both hands and press

the release button to lift the storage bin up and out.

NOTE: It is not necessary to turn the ice maker control to the

OFF (right) position when removing the storage bin. The

sensor cover ("flipper door") on the left wall of the freezer

stops the ice maker from producing ice if the door is open or

the storage bin is removed.

2. Replace the storage bin on the door and push down to make

sure it is securely in place.

To increase ice production rate:

• In normal ice production, 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 Freezer Control

toward a higher (colder) number. Wait 24 hours between each

increase.

Clean the ice storage bin

Empty the ice container. Use warm water to melt the ice if

necessary.

NOTE: Do not use anything sharp to break up the ice in the

bin or bucket. This can cause damage to the ice container

and the dispenser mechanism.

2. Wash ice bin with a mild detergent, rinse well and dry

thoroughly. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners or solvents.

REMEMBER

Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Allow 3 days

to completely fill ice container.

Discard the first three batches of ice produced to avoid

impurities that may be flushed out of the system.

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.

It is normal for the ice cubes to be attached at the corners.

They will break apart easily.

For Style 1 ice maker, do not force the wire shutoff arm up or

down.

Do not store anything on top of the ice maker or in the ice

storage bin/bucket.

REFRIGERATOR FEATURES

Important information to know about glass shemves

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 speciaI care when

removing them to avoid impact from dropping.

The shelves in your refrigerator are adjustable to meet your

individual storage needs.

Storing similar food items together in your refrigerator and

adjusting the shelves to fit different heights of items will make

finding the exact item you want easier. It will also reduce the

amount of time the refrigerator door is open, and save energy.

Shelves and Shelf Frames

To remove and replace a shelf/frame:

1. Remove the shelf/frame by tilting it up at the front and lifting it

out of the shelf supports. Pull shelf straight out.

2. Replace the shelf/frame by guiding the rear shelf hooks into

the shelf supports. Tilt the front of the shelf up until the rear

shelf hooks drop into the shelf supports.

3. Lower the front of the shelf and check to make sure that the

shelf is securely in position.

The control for the ingredient care center adjusts the storage

temperature of the pan. Cold air flows into the pan through the air

duct between the freezer and the refrigerator. Setting the controls

allows more or less cold air through the air duct.

To adjust the ingredient care center:

1. Choose a setting based on the item to be stored in the pan.

2. Push the button that corresponds to that setting.

3. The indicator light for that setting will illuminate to verify that

the pan is ready to be loaded.

it into place.

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. 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 Ibs. of food per cubic foot

[907-1,350 g per 28 L] of freezer space). Leave enough space in

the freezer for air to circulate around packages. Be careful to

leave enough room for the door to close tightly.

For more information on preparing food for freezing, check a

freezer guide or reliable cookbook.

The freezer basket can be used to store bags of frozen fruits and

vegetables that may slide off freezer shelves.

To remove and replace the freezer basket:

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. These can

scratch or damage materials.

• To help remove odors, you can wash interior walls with a

mixture of warm water and baking soda (2 tbs. to 1 qt.

[26 g to .95 L] of water).

5. Wash stainless steel and painted metal exteriors with a clean

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

not use abrasive or harsh cleaners. 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

& Polish.

IMPORTANT: This cleaner is for Stainless Steel parts only!

Do not allow the Stainless Steel Cleaner & Polish to come into

contact with any plastic parts such as the trim pieces,

dispenser covers or door gaskets. If accidental contact does

occur, clean plastic part with a sponge and mild detergent in

warm water. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. To order the

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 afood 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.

Your refrigerator is equipped with the Holiday Mode feature,

which is designed for the traveler who wishes to turn off the lights

and icemaker. By selecting this feature, the temperature set

points remain unchanged, the ice maker will be disabled and the
