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.

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.

Style 1
Ax
_®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.

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.

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.
14
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.

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.
• 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.

If the electricity in your house goes off, call the power company
and ask how long it will be of[,
1. If the power will be out for 24 hours or less, keep both
refrigerator doors closed to help food stay cold and frozen,
2. If the power will be out for more than 24 hours:
a) Remove all frozen food and store it in a frozen food locker,
OR
b) 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 two to four days.
OR
c) If neither a food 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,

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.
