INSTALLATION GUIDE
INSTALLATION LIMITATIONS
 Select a suitable location for the refrigerator on a hard, even surface away from direct sunlight or heat
source, e.g. radiators, baseboard heaters, cooking appliances, etc. Any floor unevenness should be
corrected with the leveling legs located on the front bottom corners of the refrigerator.
UNPACKING YOUR REFRIGERATOR
1. Remove all packaging material. This includes the corrugated base and all adhesive tape holding the
refrigerator accessories inside and outside. Retain foam block between doors if door swing reversal is
required.
2. Inspect and remove any remains of packing, tape or printed materials before powering on the
refrigerator.
3. If your refrigerator comes with a snack pan, remove the blue adhesive tape from the rear of the pan.
The pan will not slide in and out without removing the tape.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
WARNING
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENT - SHOCK HAZARD
 Make sure there is a suitable power outlet. 115 Volt, 15 Amp, 3-prong (grounded) power outlet with
proper grounding to power the refrigerator.
 Avoid the use of 3-prong adapters or cutting offthe third grounding prong in order to accommodate
a 2-prong outlet. This is a dangerous practice since it provides no effective grounding for the
refrigerator and may result in death, fire or electrical shock.
WARNING
USE OF EXTENSION CORDS - POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARD
 Avoid the use of an extension cord because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions. If it
is necessary to use an extensions cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-prong grounding

SUPPLIES REQUIRED FOR INSTALLATION:
 Access to a household cold water line with water pressure between 20 psi and 120psi
 A water supply line made of 1/4-inch outside diameter, copper tubing. Plastic is not recommended since it
greatly increases the potential for water leaks. To determine the length of the copper tubing needed, you
will need to measure the distance from the ice maker water valve at the back of the refrigerator to your
cold water pipe. Then add approximately 7 feet, so the refrigerator can be moved out for service.

WATER SUPPLY INSTALLATION (CONT.)
A shutoffvalve to connect the water supply line to your household water system
NOTE: Do not use a self-piercing type shutoffvalve.
A compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) for connecting the water supply line to the ice maker inlet valve.
Do not install water supply tubing in areas where the temperature falls below freezing.
Connect the ice maker to a drinkable water source that is not connected to a water softening system.
Chemicals from the softener may damage the ice maker, causing it to malfunction.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Disconnect refrigerator from power supply.
2. Turn offwater supply at shut offvalve.
3. Connect copper water supply line to household water system.
4. Turn ON water supply and tighten any connections that leak.
5. Re-install rear access cover for compressor compartment.
6. Coil excess water supply line behind refrigerator, as shown below
and arrange coils so they do not vibrate or wear against other
surfaces. Use water tube clamp and #8 screw from the parts
included bag to secure water supply line to rear of refrigerator.

water that is softened. Chemicals from a malfunctioning softener can
damage the ice maker.
Ice stored too long may develop an odd flavor. Empty the container and make sure the wire arm is in the
ON (lowered) position. The ice maker will then produce ice.
Keep the wire arm in OFF position until the refrigerator is connected to the water supply or whenever the
water supply is turned OFF.
IMPORTANT:
 Do not wash the ice container in your dishwasher.
 Be sure to stop the ice maker when cleaning the freezer or on vacation.
 If the ice maker has to be turned OFF for a long period of time, turn the water supply valve to the closed
position.

PROPER CARE AND MAINTENANCE
ENGLISH
POWER INTERRUPTIONS
In the event of a power interruption, unplug your
refrigerator from the power source. Avoid opening
the doors until after power has been restored. Your
refrigerator will maintain a cold temperature for a
longer period of time if door opening is avoided or
kept to a minimum.
Once power has been restored, plug your
refrigerator back into the power source and inspect
food in the refrigerator for spoilage or thawing.
Cleaning your refrigerator after a prolonged power
outage is strongly recommended to avoid odors and
potential health hazards due to thawing.
VACATIONS
For long vacations or absences, unplug your
refrigerator and remove all food from it. Turn the
temperature control knob in the refrigerator section
to the OFF position and clean the refrigerator,
including the gaskets, according to the Proper Care
and Maintenance section. Leave the doors propped
open to allow air to circulate inside the refrigerator.
MOVING
Before moving your refrigerator, empty the food
from it and use adhesive tape to secure all loose
items such as shelves, door bins and racks, crispers
and pans, etc. and unplug it. Always move the
refrigerator in an upright position in order to avoid
damaging the sealed refrigerant system.
NORMAL OPERATING SOUNDS
WHIRRING/BUZZING
There are multiple high-speed fans inside your
refrigerator which help it to maintain the
temperature you have selected. Whirring is common
when the refrigerator is first plugged in, when the
doors have been opened often or for an extended
period of time and when a large amount of food has
been added. It may also be heard when the ice maker
is ejecting ice into the ice bucket.
HUMMING
This is a common sounds that comes from the
compressor and is a part of making your refrigerator
run efficiently.
WHOOSHING
It is possible that you may hear a whooshing sound
when closing the doors. This is no cause for concern.
It is simply the pressure in refrigerator equalizing.
OTHER SOUNDS
There are lots of things going on in your refrigerator
at any given time. Additional sounds your may hear,
and possible causes include:
 Gurgling is most likely due to the circulation of
refrigerant through the cooling coils.
 Running water can be heard while the ice maker is
filling with water.
 Sizzling or popping sounds can be frost melting
and falling onto the defrost heater during the
defrost cycle.
 Clicking or chirping may be heard as the
compressor attempts to re-start.
 Clicking may also be heard when the water valve
opens and closes to fill the ice maker.
 Cracking or popping sounds may be from the
expansion and contraction of cooling coils during
and after the defrost cycle.
 Also, when your refrigerator is first plugged in, the
foam insulation in the walls will cool and contract,
which can result in cracking or popping sounds
 The defrost timer and thermostat control will click
as each cycles on and off.
 You will also a hear a thump when ice drops into
the ice bucket.

GUIDE D’INSTALLATION
RESTRICTIONS D'INSTALLATION
 Choisissez un emplacement convenant à l'appareil, sur une surface plane et dure, à l'abri des rayons directs du
soleil et des sources de chaleur (p. ex., les radiateurs, plinthes chauffantes, appareils de cuisson, etc.). Toute
inégalité du plancher devrait être compensée au moyen des pattes de nivellement installées sous l'appareil.
DÉSEMBALLAGE DE VOTRE RÉFRIGÉRATEUR
1. Retirez tous les matériaux d'emballage. Cela inclut la base en carton ondulé ainsi que tous les rubans adhésifs
retenant des accessoires à l'intérieur et à l'extérieur du réfrigérateur. Conservez le bloc de mousse entre les
portes si une inversion du battant de porte est requise.
2. Inspectez le réfrigérateur et enlevez tout résidu d'emballage, de ruban adhésif ou de matériel imprimé avant de
le mettre en marche.
3. Si votre réfrigérateur est muni d’un tiroir à collations, retirez le ruban adhésif bleu collé à l'arrière de celui-ci.
Vous ne pourrez ni ouvrir, ni refermer le tiroir si vous ne le faites pas.
EXIGENCES EN MATIÈRE D'ÉLECTRICITÉ
AVERTISSEMENT
EXIGENCE ÉLECTRIQUE - RISQUE D’ÉLECTROCUTION
 Assurez-vous de la proximité d'une prise de courant adéquate pour alimenter le réfrigérateur :
une prise de 115 V, 15 A tripolaire (mise à la terre) avec mise à la masse appropriée.
 Évitez d'utiliser les adaptateurs tripolaires ou de couper la broche de mise à la terre pour brancher
l'appareil à une prise bipolaire. Cette pratique est dangereuse puisqu'elle ne fournit aucune mise à la
terre au réfrigérateur et peut entraîner un risque de décès, d'incendie ou d'électrocution.
AVERTISSEMENT
UTILISATION DE RALLONGES ÉLECTRIQUES – RISQUE POUR LA SÉCURITÉ
 Évitez d'utiliser une rallonge électrique en raison des risques pour la sécurité dans certaines
conditions. En cas de nécessité absolue, n'utilisez qu'une rallonge tripolaire munie d'une fiche à trois
broches, dont une de mise à la terre, et une prise tripolaire pouvant accueillir la fiche. La capacité
nominale indiquée sur la rallonge doit être égale ou supérieure à la capacité nominale de l'appareil.
 N'utilisez pas de rallonge électrique de plus de 12 pi.
 La non-observance de ces instructions peut entraîner la mort, un incendie ou une électrocution.

4. Si votre réfrigérateur est doté de portes lisses ou en acier inoxydable, veuillez retirer la pellicule de plastique avant
de le mettre sous tension pour la première fois. Lors du retrait de la pellicule de plastique, ne la tirez pas tout droit
vers le bas, comme cela pourrait entraîner un désalignement des portes.
5. Il est normal que la porte du congélateur soit positionnée légèrement plus haute que le dessus du réfrigérateur
lors de l'installation. Ce positionnement est fait à l'usine pour s'assurer que les joints d'étanchéité assurent
correctement l'étanchéité une fois que la porte est appesantie avec la nourriture.

 Le réfrigérateur doit reposer fermement sur le sol.
 Il doit être de niveau un côté par rapport à l'autre.
 Le réfrigérateur doit être légèrement incliné (¼ po ou 6 mm) de l'avant vers
l'arrière pour que les portes ferment bien.
 Tournez les pattes de nivellement pour relever ou abaisser le réfrigérateur.
