SAVETHESE INSTRUCTIONS

Proper Disposal of YourOld Refrigerator

Suffocation Hazard

Remove doors from your old refrigerator.

Failure to do so can result in death or

brain damage.

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

- even if they will sit for ':just a few days." Ifyou are getting rid of

your old refrigerator, please follow these instructions to help

prevent accidents.

INSTALLINGYOUR

REFRIGERATOR

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move and install

refrigerator.

Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

Removing packaging materials

• Remove tape and any labels from your refrigerator before

using (except the model and serial number label).

To remove any remaining tape or glue, rub the area briskly

with your thumb. Tape or glue residue can also be easily

removed by rubbing 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 the "Refrigerator Safety" section.

IMPORTANT: Do not remove any permanent instruction labels

inside your refrigerator, or the Tech Sheet that is fastened to the

base grille.

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.

Cleaning before use

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

of your refrigerator before using it. See the cleaning instructions

in the "Caring for Your Refrigerator" section.

Explosion Hazard

Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as

gasoline, away from refrigerator.

Failure to do so can result in death, explosion,

or fire.

To ensure proper ventilation for your refrigerator, allow for

.5 in. (1.25 cm) space on each side and at the top.

.S" (1.25 cm)

II -- Iii

2"(5.08era)

If your refrigerator has an ice maker, make sure you leave

some extra space at the back for the water line connections.

The refrigerator can be flush against the back wall if you do

not have an ice maker installed.

• If you are installing your refrigerator next to a fixed wall, leave

2 in. (5.08 cm) minimum on each side (depending on your

model) to allow for the door to swing open.

NOTE: Do not install the refrigerator near an oven, radiator, or

other heat source, nor in a location where the temperature will fall

below 55°F (13°C).

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.

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 ampere 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.

Electrical Shock Hazard

Disconnect power before removing doors.

Failure to do so can result in death or

electrical shock.

NOTE: Before removing doors, open both doors and remove

base grille (see the "Base Grille" section).

Tools Needed:

_¼in. hex-head socket wrench and 5/_6in. hex-head socket

wrench.

1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

2. If you have a dispenser (ice or water), disconnect water line

(behind base grille).

• Remove hose from clip.

_:t_e,_e_zt_e_:a_o__'

Read all directions carefully before you begin.

IMPORTANT:

• if operating the refrigerator before installing the water

connection, turn ice maker to the OFF position to prevent

operation without water.

• All installations must be in accordance with local plumbing

code requirements,

• Use copper tubing and check for leaks,

• Install copper tubing only in areas where temperatures will

remain above freezing,

• It may take up to 24 hours for your ice maker to begin

producing ice.

Tools required:

• Standard screwdriver

• 7A6in. and _/2in. open-end wrenches or two adjustable

wrenches

• ¼in. nut driver

• ¼in. drill bit

• Hand drill or electric drill (properly grounded)

NOTE: Your refrigerator dealer has a kit available with a

¼ in. (6.35 mm) saddle-type shut-off 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 3A6in. (4.76 ram) saddle valve which reduces water flow

and clogs more easily.

Cold water supply

The ice maker water valve contains a flow washer which is used

as a water pressure regulator. The ice maker needs to be

connected to a cold water line with water pressure between 30

and 120 psi. If a problem occurs, call your utility company.

Connecting 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 Y2in. to 1¼ in. (12.7 mm to 3.18 cm) vertical COLD

water pipe near the refrigerator.

NOTE: Horizontal pipe will work, but the following procedure

must be followed: Drill on the top side of the pipe, not the

bottom. This will help keep water away from the drill. This

also keeps normal sediment from collecting in the valve.

4. To determine the length of copper tubing you will need,

measure from connection on lower left rear of refrigerator to

water pipe. Add 7 ft. (2.1 m) to allow for moving refrigerator

for cleaning. Use ¼ in. (6.35 ram) O.D. (outside diameter)

copper tubing. Be sure both ends of copper tubing are cut

square.

5. Using a grounded drill, drill a ¼ in. hole in the cold water pipe

you have selected.

6. Fasten shut-off valve to cold water pipe with pipe clamp. Be

sure outlet end is solidly in the ¼ in. drilled hole in the water

pipe and that washer is under the pipe clamp. Tighten

packing nut. Tighten the pipe clamp screws carefully and

evenly so washer makes a watertight seal. Do not overtighten

or you may crush the copper tubing, especially if soft (coiled)

copper tubing is used. Now you are ready to connect the

copper tubing.

7. Slip compression sleeve and compression nut on copper

tubing as shown. Insert end of tubing into 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 into a container or sink, and

turn ON main water supply and flush out tubing until water is

clear. Turn OFF shut-off valve on the water pipe. Coil copper

tubing.

Connecting to refrigerator:

1. Attach the copper tube to the valve inlet using a compression

nut and sleeve as shown. Tighten the compression nut. Do

not overtighten. Use the tube clamp on the back of the

refrigerator to secure the tubing to the refrigerator as shown.

This will help prevent damage to the tubing when the

refrigerator is pushed back against the wall. Move to step 2.

2. Turn shut-off valve ON. Check for leaks. Tighten any

connections (including connections at the valve) or nuts that

leak.

3. The ice maker water valve is equipped with a built-in water

strainer. If local water conditions require periodic cleaning or

a well is your source of water supply, a second water strainer

should be installed in the ¼ in. (6.35 ram) water line. Obtain a

water strainer from your nearest appliance dealer. Install at

either tube connection.

months.

3. Line up the INSTALL mark on the water filter label with the

indicator line that is molded into the filter mounting bracket

cover. Push the cartridge into the filter mounting bracket.

Twist the cartridge 1/4turn to the right to lock it into place. The

REMOVE mark should be lined-up with the indicator line

located on the front cover.

4. RUN WATER THROUGH THE DISPENSER UNTIL THE

WATER RUNS CLEAR (about 2-3 gallons or 6-7 minutes).

This will clean the system and clear air from the lines.

Additional flushing may be required in some households.

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

of the dispenser.

5. Open the refrigerator door and inspect the filter system for

water leaks. If you see water leaks, see the "Troubleshooting"

section.

NOTE: You can run the dispenser without a water filter cartridge.

Your water will not be filtered.

Style 2

Flush the water system by dispensing and discarding

2 to 3 gallons (approximately 6 to 7 minutes) of water through

the dispenser. This will clean the system and help clear air

from the lines. Additional flushing may be required in some

households.

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

lower the wire shut-off arm. For Style 2 move the switch to

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

Storage Bin" features 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. To

do so, set the switch on the front of the ice maker to MAX.

To remove the base grille:

1. Open both refrigerator doors.

2. Place hands along the ends of the grille, with your thumbs

along the top. Push in with your thumbs and pull up on the

bottom.

NOTE: Be sure to refasten the Tech Sheet behind the base grille

after cleaning.

To replace the base grille:

1. Open the doors.

2. Line up the grille support tabs with the metal clips.

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 shut-off arm as shown, For Style 2 move the

switch to the OFF (right) setting as shown.

Style 1

_®RMAL

Your refrigerator has two front adjustable rollers -- one on the

right and one on the left, If your refrigerator seems unsteady or if

you want the doors to close more easily, adjust the refrigerator's

tilt using the instructions below:

1. Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet,

2. Move the refrigerator into its final position,

3. Remove the base grille (see "Base Grille" earlier in this

section), The two leveling screws are part of the front roller

assemblies which are at the base of the refrigerator on either

side,

4. 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,

5. 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.

6. Replace the base grille.

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, like the floor, walls, and cabinets, can make the sounds

seem louder than they actually are. The following describes the

kinds of sounds and what may be making them.

• If your product 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,

• The defrost timer will click when the automatic defrost cycle

begins and ends. Also, the Thermostat Control (or

Refrigerator Control depending on the model) will click when

cycling on and off.

• Rattling noises may come from the flow of refrigerant, the

water line, or items stored on top of the refrigerator.

• Your refrigerator is designed to run more efficiently to keep

your food items at the desired temperature. The high

efficiency compressor may cause your new refrigerator to run

longer than your old one, and you may hear a pulsating or

high-pitched sound.

• Water dripping on the defrost heater during a defrost cycle

may cause a sizzling sound.

• You may hear the evaporator fan motor circulating the air

through the refrigerator and freezer compartments.

• 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.

USINGYOUR

REFRIGERATOR

I> ' "

In order to ensure proper temperatures, you need to permit air to

flow 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.

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.

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.

The Refrigerator Control and the Freezer Control should both be

at the "mid-settings" as shown in the illustrations below.

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.

IMPORTANT: 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.

Give the refrigerator time to cool down completely before adding

food. It is best to wait 24 hours before you put food into the

refrigerator. The settings indicated in the previous section should

be correct for normal household refrigerator usage. The controls

are set correctly when milk or juice is as cold as you like and

when ice cream is firm.

If you need to adjust temperatures in the refrigerator or freezer,

use the settings listed in the chart below as a guide. Wait at least

24 hours between adjustments.

FEATURES

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.

Your model may have some or all of these features. Features that

can be purchased separately as product accessories are labeled

with the word "Accessory." Not all accessories will fit all models.

If you are interested in purchasing one of the accessories, please

call the toll-free number on the cover or in the "Assistance or

Service" section.

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 accidental dispensing,

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.

3. 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

When the refrigerator is first hooked up, press the water

dispenser bar with a glass orjar until you draw and discard 2 to 3

quarts (1.9 to 2.8 L). It will take three to four minutes for the water

to begin dispensing. The water you draw and discard rinses the

pipes. 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.

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.

• For cubed ice, press the CUBE button until the red indicator

appears in the window above the CUBE button.

ICE

CRUSH CUBE

• For crushed ice, press the CRUSH button until the red

indicator appears in the window above the CRUSH button.

For crushed ice, cubes are crushed before being 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 CRUSH to CUBE, a few ounces of crushed

ice will be dispensed along with the first cubes.

To dispense water:

1. Press a glass against the water dispenser lever.

2. Remove the glass to stop dispensing.

NOTE: Dispense enough water every week to maintain a fresh

supply

The dispenser light

The dispenser area has a light. It can be turned on manually by

pressing the ON button at the right hand side or the control panel.

The red indicator above the ON button will appear. On some

models: Whenever you use the dispenser the lever will

automatically turn the light on.

The base grille water filter status light

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

your water filter cartridge. The light is located at the top of the

refrigerator compartment. The light will change from green to

yellow. This tells you that it is almost time to change the water

filter cartridge (90% of the filter life has been used). It is

recommended that you replace the base grille water filter

cartridge when the water filter indicator light changes to red OR

water flow to your water dispenser or ice maker decreases

noticeably. (See "Changing a base grille water filter cartridge"

later in this section.)

NOTE: Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe

or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before

or after the system.

2. Light Switch

After changing the water filter cartridge, reset the water filter

status light by pressing the light switch 5times within 10

seconds. 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 water filter status light, you

should change the water filter cartridge every 6-9 months

depending upon your usage. If the water flow to the water

dispenser or icemaker decreases noticeably before 6 months

have passed, replace the water filter cartridge more often. (See

"Changing a base water filter cartridge" later in this section.)

Meat storage guide

Store most meat in original wrapping as long as it is airtight and

moisture-proof. Rewrap if necessary. See the following chart for

storage times. When storing meat longer than the times given,

freeze the meat.

Fresh fish or shellfish .................. use same day as purchased

Chicken, ground beef, variety meat (liver, etc.) ......... 1-2 days

Cold cuts, steaks/roasts ........................................... 3-5 days

Cured meats ............................................................ 7-10 days

Leftovers - Cover leftovers with plastic wrap, aluminum foil, or

plastic containers with tight lids.

The convertible vegetable/meat drawer can be adjusted to

properly chill meats or vegetables. The air inside the pan is

cooled to prevent "spot" freezing and can be set to keep meats

at the National Livestock and Meat Board recommended storage

temperatures of 28°- 320F (-2° - O°C).

IMPORTANT: To extend freshness, wrap meats in airtight,

moisture-proof materials before storing. Always store meat as

recommended.

Adjusting the control

The convertible control comes preset at the lowest meat setting.

To change a control setting: Move the control to the right

(colder) or to the left (less cold) as desired.

To store vegetables: Set the control at the VEG setting, all the

way to the left, to store vegetables at their optimal storage

temperatures (which need to be warmer than those for meat).

IMPORTANT: If food starts to freeze, move the control to the left

(less cold). Remember to wait 24 hours between adjustments.

Doing so gives the temperature of the food time to change.

Depending on your model, you may have a one piece utility bin or

a three piece egg bin. To use the three piece egg bin, remove the

• Do not force the wire shut-oft arm up or down.

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

storage bin.

To remove and replace the shelf:

1. Lift the shelf off of the supports.

2. Slide it out of the shelf support holes.

3. Replace shelf in the reverse order.

Q _

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 2-3 Ib of food per cubic foot [907-1,350 g

per LI 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.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Try the solutions suggested here first in order to avoid the

cost of an unnecessary service call.

Your refrigerator will not operate

• Is the power supply cord unplugged?

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

• Has a household fuse or circuit breaker tripped?

Replace the ruse or reset the circuit.

• Is the refrigerator or freezer control turned to the OFF

position?

Refer to the "Setting the Controls" section.

• Is the refrigerator defrosting?

Recheck to see if the refrigerator is operating in 30 minutes.

Your refrigerator will regularly run an automatic defrost cycle.

The lights do not work

• Is the power supply cord unplugged?

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

• Is a light bulb loose in the socket?

Turn the refrigerator or freezer control to OFE Disconnect the

refrigerator from the electrical supply. Gently remove the bulb

and reinsert. Then reconnect the refrigerator to the electrical

supply and reset the control.

• Is a light bulb burned out?

Replace with an appliance bulb of the same wattage, size,

and shape. See the "Changing the Light Bulbs" section.

There is water in the defrost drain pan

• Is the refrigerator defrosting?

The water will evaporate. It is normal for water to drip into the

defrost pan.

• Is it more humid than normal?

Expect that the water in the defrost pan will take longer to

evaporate. This is normal when it is hot or humid.

The motor seems to run too much

• Is the room temperature hotter than normal?

Expect the motor to run longer under warm conditions. At

normal room temperatures, expect your motor to run about

40% to 80% of the time. Under warmer conditions, expect it

to run even more of the time.

• Has a large amount of food just been added to the

refrigerator?

Adding a large amount or rood warms the refrigerator. It is

normal for the motor to run longer in order to cool the

refrigerator back down.

• Is the door opened often?

Expect the motor to run longer when this occurs. In order to

conserve energy, try to get everything you need out of the

refrigerator at once, keep food organized so it is easy to find,

and close the door as soon as the food is removed.

• Are the controls not set correctly for the surrounding

conditions?

Refer to the "Setting the Controls" section.

• Are the doors not closed completely?

Push the doors firmly shut. If they will not shut all the way, see

"The doors will not close completely" later in this section.

• Are the condenser coils dirty?

This prevents air transfer and makes the motor work harder.

Clean the condenser coils. Refer to the "Cleaning Your

Refrigerator" section.

• Are the door gaskets not sealed all the way around?

Contact a qualified person or a technician.

NOTE: If the problem is not due to any of the above,

remember that your new refrigerator will run longer than your

old one due to its high efficiency motor.

The refrigerator seems to make too much noise

• The sounds may be normal for your refrigerator.

Refer to the "Understanding Sounds You May Hear" section.

The ice maker is not producing ice

• Is the freezer temperature not cold enough to produce

ice?

Wait 24 hours after ice maker hook-up for ice production.

Refer to the "Setting the Controls" section.

• Is the ice maker wire shut-off arm in the OFF (wire shut-

off arm up) position (on some models)?

Lower wire shut-off arm to the ON (wire shut-off arm down)

position. See the "Ice Maker and Storage Bin" section.

• Is the ice maker switch in the OFF (right) position (on

some models)?

Move ice maker switch to the ON (left) position. See the "Ice

Maker and Storage Bin" section.
