Child Safety
Destroy or recycle the carton, plastic bags, and any
exterior wrapping material immediately after the
refrigerator is unpacked. Children should NEVER
use these items to play. Cartons covered with rugs,
bedspreads, plastic sheets or stretch wrap may become
airtight chambers, and can quickly cause suffocation.
Proper Disposal of your Refrigerator or
Freezer
Risk of child entrapment
Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the
past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators or freezers are
still dangerous - even if they will sit for "just a few days".
If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator or freezer,
please follow the instructions below to help prevent
accidents.
Proper Disposal of Refrigerators/Freezers

This Use & Care Guide provides general installation and
operating instructionsfor your model. We recommend
using a service or kitchen contracting professional to
install your refrigerator. Use the refrigerator only as
instructed in this Use & Care Guide. Before starting
the refrigerator, follow these important first steps,
Location
- Choose a place that is near a grounded, non-GFCI,
electrical outlet. Do Not use an extension cord or
an adapter plug.
- If possible, place the refrigerator out of direct
sunlight and away from the range, dishwasher, or
other heat sources.
- The refrigerator must be installed on a floor that is
level and strong enough to support a fully loaded
refrigerator.
• Consider water supply availability for models
equipped with an automatic ice maker.
Do Not install the refrigerator where the temperature
will drop below 55°F (13°C) or rise above 110°F
(43°C). The compressor will not be able to maintain
proper temperatures inside the refrigerator.
Do Not block the toe grille on the lower front of your
refrigerator. Sufficient air circulation is essential for the
proper operation of your refrigerator.
Installation
- Allow the following clearances for ease of
installation, proper air circulation, and plumbing
and electrica! connections:
Sides & Top 3/8inch (9.5 mm)
Back 1 inch (25.4 ram)
If your refrigerator is placed with the door hinge side
against a wall, you may have to allow additional space
so the door can be opened wider.
Door opening
The refrigerator doors are designed to shut by
themselves within a 20-degree opening.
Your refrigerator should be positioned to allow easy
access to a counter when removing food. For best use of
refrigerator drawers and freezer baskets, the refrigerator
should be in a position where both can be fully opened.

Leveling Freezer Drawer (ifn ry)

Ice maker operation & care
After the refrigerator is installed properly, the ice maker
can produce ice within 24 hours. It can completely fill an
ice bin in about three (3) days.
When using the ice maker for the first time and in order
for the ice maker to work properly, it is necessary to
clear air from water filter tubing. Once ice maker begins
making ice, allow the bucket to fill completely, then
discard the first TWO (2) FULL buckets of ice. It will
take at least two (2) days to completely fill the bucket on
regular ice making mode or 1 1/2days on fast ice mode.
The ice maker produces approximately four (4) pounds of
ice every 24 hours depending on usage conditions.
- The following sounds are normal when the ice
maker is operating:
Motor running
Ice dropping into ice bin
Water valve opening or closing
Running water
- Ice cubes stored too long may develop an odd
flavor. Empty the ice bin as explained below.
Quick Ice Function
Your refrigerator is equipped with a Quick Ice Function,
that increases ice production. This function terminates
automatically.
Cleaning the ice maker

work as soon as you install your refrigerator. If you
cannot connect a water supply, lift the ice maker's wire
signal arm to turn it off. Otherwise, the ice maker's
fill valve may make a loud chattering noise when it
attempts to operate without water........................................................................................................................................
If the water supply to your refrigerator is softened, be
sure the softener is properly maintained. Chemicals
from a water softener can damage the ice maker, ....
Turning the ice maker on and off

Ideas for storing foods
Fresh food storage
= Keep the fresh food compartment between 34° F
and 40° F with an optimum temperature of 37° E
o Avoid overcrowding the refrigerator shelves, which
reduces air circulation and causes uneven cooling.
Fruits and vegetables
= Store fruits and vegetables in crisper drawers,
where trapped moisture helps preserve food quality
for longer time periods.
Wash items and remove excess water.
Wrap any items that have strong odors or high
moisture content.
Meat
Wrap raw meat and poultry separately and securely
to prevent leaks and contamination of other foods
or surfaces.
Use the deli drawer to store meat/poultry for short-
term storage. Any meat to be kept longer than two
(2) days should be frozen.
Frozen food storage
= Keep the freezer compartment at 0° F or lower.
A freezer operates most efficiently when it is at
least 2/3full.
Packaging foods for freezing
To minimize food dehydration and quality
deterioration, use aluminum foil, freezer wrap,
freezer bags, or airtight containers. Force as much
air out of the packages as possible and seal them
tightly. Trapped air can cause food to dry out,
change color, and develop an off-flavor (freezer
burn).
Wrap fresh meats and poultry with suitable freezer
wrap prior to freezing.
Do not refreeze meat that has completely thawed.
Loading the freezer
= Prior to grocery shopping, activate "quick freeze"
so that on your return you can ensure your newly
purchased food designated for the freezer will be
preserved as quickly as possible.
Activating "quick freeze" also will help your freezer
more efficiently maintain the selected temperature
after placing new purchases with pre-existing
frozen foods.
Avoid adding too much warm food to the freezer at
one time. This overloads the freezer, slows the rate
of freezing, and can raise the temperature of frozen
foods.
o Leave a space between packages, so cold air can
circulate freely, allowing food to freeze as quickly
as possible.
Ideas for saving energy
Installation
Locate the refrigerator in the coolest part of the
room, out of direct sunlight, and away from heating
ducts or registers.
Do not place the refrigerator next to heat-
producing appliances such as a range, oven, or
dishwasher. If this is not possible, a section of
cabinetry or an added layer of insulation between
the two (2) appliances will help the refrigerator
operate more efficiently.
Level the refrigerator so that the doors close
tightly.
Temperature settings
= Refer to the "Controls" section for procedures on
temperature settings.
Food storage
= Avoid overcrowding the refrigerator or blocking cold
air vents. Doing so causes the refrigerator to run
longer and use more energy.
Cover foods and wipe containers dry before
placing them in the refrigerator. This cuts down on
moisture build-up inside the unit.
Organize the refrigerator to reduce door openings.
Remove as many items as needed at one time and
close the door as soon as possible.
Do not place a hot container directly on a cold
shelf. Remember, such an extreme temperature
change may damage the glass.

Understanding the sounds you
may hear
Your new, high-efficiency refrigerator may introduce
unfamiliar sounds. These sounds normally indicate
your refrigerator is operating correctly. Some surfaces
on floors, walls, and kitchen cabinets may make these
sounds more noticeable.
The following is a list of major components in your
refrigerator and the sounds they can cause:
A Evaporator Refrigerant through the evaporator
may create a boiling or gurgling sound.
BEvaporator fan You may hear air being forced
through the refrigerator by the evaporator fan.
C Defrost heater During defrost cycles, water
dripping onto the defrost heater may cause a
hissing or sizzling sound. After defrosting, a
popping sound may occur.
D Automatic ice maker When ice has been
produced, you will hear ice cubes falling into the
ice bin. Ice maker fan, water valve activation, and
refrigerant gas fluid may create sounds from its
operation.
E Electronic control & automatic defrost
control These parts can produce a snapping or
clicking sound when turning the cooling system on
and off.
FCondenser fan You may hear air being forced
through the condenser.
GCompressor Modern, high-efficiency compressors
run much faster than older models. The
compressor may have a high-pitched hum or
pulsating sound.
H Water valve Makes a buzzing sound each time it
opens to fi!l the ice maker.
IDrain pan (not removable) You may hear water
dripping into the drain pan during the defrost cycle.
JCondenser May create minimal sounds from
forced air.
M Motorized damper May produce a light
humming during operation.
Energy efficient foam in your refrigerator isnot a sound
insulator.
During automatic defrost cycle, a red glow in the back
wall vents of your freezer compartment is normal.
