SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Proper Disposal of Your Old Refrigerator
Suffocation Hazard
Remove doors from your old refrigerator.
Failure to do so can result in death or brain damage.
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." If you are getting rid of
your old refrigerator, please follow these instructions to help
prevent accidents.
Before You Throw Away Your Old Refrigerator or Freezer:
• Takeoff the doors.
• Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily
climb inside.
INSTALLATIONINSTRUCTIONS
When Moving Your 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.
Your refrigerator is heavy. When moving the refrigerator for
cleaning or service, be sure to cover the floor with
cardboard or hardboard to avoid floor damage. 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.
Remove packaging materials. 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." important information to know about glass shelves
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.
Tempered glass is designed to shatter into many small,
pebble-size pieces. This is normal. Glass shelves and covers
are heavy. Use both hands when removing them to avoid
dropping.
2

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 1/2"
(1.25 cm) of space on each side and at the top. Allow for 1"
(2.54 cm) of space behind the refrigerator. If your refrigerator has
an ice maker, allow extra space at the back for the water line
connections. When installing your refrigerator next to a fixed wall,
leave a 2" (5.08 cm) minimum space on each side (depending on
your model) to allow the doors to swing open.
NOTES:
/
2" (5.08 cm)/m
It is recommended that you do not install the refrigerator near
an oven, radiator, or other heat source. Do not install in a
location where the temperature will fall below 55°F (13°C).
Normal minimum cabinet cut-out width required for product
installation is 36" (91.44 cm). However, if the product is placed
against an extended wall and the ability to remove the crisper
pans is desired, an additional 18" (45.72 cm) of cabinet width
is required, so a total cabinet opening width of 54"
(137.16 cm)is recommended.

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-amp 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. See "Using the
Controls."
Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation.
Read and follow the instructions provided with any tools listed
here.
TOOLS NEEDED:
• Flat-blade screwdriver • 1A"Nut driver
• 7/16"and 1/2"Open-end or two • 1A"Drill bit
adjustable wrenches • Cordless drill
NOTE: Your refrigerator dealer has a kit available with a 1/4"
(6.35 mm) saddle-type shutoff 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 34d'
(4.76 mm) saddle valve which reduces water flow and clogs more
easily.
IMPORTANT:
• All installations must meet local plumbing code requirements.
• Use copper tubing and check for leaks. Install copper tubing
only in areas where the household temperatures will remain
above freezing.

Wa_rPmssum
A cold water supply with water pressure of between 30 and
120 psi (207 and 827 kPa) is required to operate the water
dispenser and ice maker. Ifyou have questions about your water
pressure, call a licensed, qualified plumber.
Reverse Osmosis Water Supply
IMPORTANT: The pressure of the water supply coming out of a
reverse osmosis system going to the water inlet valve of the
refrigerator needs to be between 30 and 120 psi (207 and
827 kPa).
If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is connected to your
cold water supply, the water pressure to the reverse osmosis
system needs to be a minimum of 40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa).
If the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system is less than
40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa):
• Check to see whether the sediment filter in the reverse
osmosis system is blocked. Replace the filter if necessary.
• Allow the storage tank on the reverse osmosis system to refill
after heavy usage.
If your refrigerator has a water filter, it may further reduce the
water pressure when used in conjunction with a reverse
osmosis system. Remove the water filter. See "Water Filtration
System."
If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed,
qualified plumber.
Read all directions before you begin.
IMPORTANT: Ifyou turn the refrigerator on before the water line is
connected, turn the ice maker OFF.
Connect 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 1/2"(1.27 cm) to 11/4"(3.18 cm) vertical cold water
pipe near the refrigerator.

5=
• Make sure it is a cold water pipe.
• Horizontal pipe will work, but drill on the top side of the
pipe, not the bottom. This will help keep water away from
the drill and normal sediment from collecting in the valve.
Determine the length of copper tubing you need. Measure
from the connection on the lower rear corner of refrigerator to
the water pipe. Add 7 ft (2.1 m) to allow for cleaning. Use 1/4"
(6.35 mm) O.D. (outside diameter) copper tubing. Be sure both
ends of copper tubing are cut square.
Using a cordless drill, drill a 1/4"(6.35 mm) hole in the cold
water pipe you have selected.

Depending on your model, you may have one or more of the
following options: the ability to select either crushed or cubed ice,
chilled water, a special light that turns on when you use the
dispenser, or a lock option to avoid unintentional dispensing.
IMPORTANT: After connecting the refrigerator to a water source
or replacing the water filter, flush the water system. Use a sturdy
container to depress and hold the water dispenser lever for
5 seconds, then release it for 5 seconds. Repeat until water
begins to flow. Once water begins to flow, continue depressing
and releasing the dispenser lever (5 seconds on, 5 seconds off)
until a total of 3 gal. (12 L) has been dispensed. This will flush air
from the filter and water dispensing system, and prepare the
water filter for use. Additional flushing may be required in some
households. As air is cleared from the system, water may spurt
out of the dispenser.
NOTES:
•The dispensing system will not operate when the freezer door
is open.
•On some models: Allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to cool
down and chill water.
•Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the
first three batches of ice produced.
The Water Dispenser
IMPORTANT: Dispense enough water every week to maintain a
fresh supply.
To Dispense Water:
1. Press a sturdy glass against the water dispenser lever.
2. Remove the glass to stop dispensing.
The Ice Dispenser
The dispensing system will not operate when the freezer door is
open. Ice dispenses from the ice maker storage bin in the freezer
when the dispenser lever is pressed.
NOTE: Some models dispense both cubed and crushed ice.
Before dispensing ice, select which type of ice you prefer.
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 crushed to cubed, a few ounces of crushed
ice will be dispensed along with the first cubes.
To Dispense Ice:
1. Press the button to select the desired type of ice.
Cut Hazard
Use a sturdy glass when dispensing ice.
Failure to do so can result in cuts.
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.
3. Remove the glass to stop dispensing.

Turning the Ice Maker On/Off
• To turn ON the ice maker, simply lower the wire shutoff arm.
• To manually turn off the ice maker, lift the wire shutoff arm to
the OFF (arm up) position and listen for the click. Ice can still
be dispensed, but no more can be made.
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. Do not
force the wire shutoff arm up or down.
REMEMBER:
• Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the
first three batches of ice produced.
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.
Do not use anything sharp to break up the ice in the storage
bin. This can cause damage to the ice container and the
dispenser mechanism.
Do not store anything on top of or in the ice maker or storage
bin.
Removing and Replacing Ice Storage Bin
1. Pull the covering panel up from the bottom and then slide it
back toward the rear.
2. Lift the wire shutoff arm so it clicks into the OFF (up) position.
3. Lift up the front of the storage bin and pull it out.

5.
Replace the bin by pushing it in all the way or the dispenser
will not work.
To restart ice production, push the wire shutoff arm down to
the ON position. Make sure the door is closed tightly.
3_
Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of
unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or
after the system.
Water Filter Status Light (on some models)
The water filter status light will help you know when to change
your water filter. The light will change from green to yellow. This
tells you that it is almost time to change the filter. It is
recommended that you replace the water filter when the status
light changes to red OR water flow to your water dispenser or ice
maker decreases noticeably. The filter should be replaced at least
every 6 months depending on your water quality and usage.
After changing the water filter, reset the water filter status light.
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 at least every 6 months
depending on your water quality and usage. If the water flow to
the water dispenser or ice maker decreases noticeably before
6 months have passed, replace the water filter more often.
Using the Dispenser Without the Water Filter
You can run the dispenser without a water filter. Your water will not
be filtered.
1. Remove the water filter.
2. Slide the cap off the end of the filter and replace the cap in the
base grille.
IMPORTANT: Do not discard the cap. It is part of your
refrigerator. Keep the cap to use with the replacement filter.

REFRIGERATORCARE
Explosion Hazard
Use nonflammable cleaner.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
Both the refrigerator and freezer sections defrost automatically.
However, clean both sections about once a month to avoid
buildup of odors. Wipe up spills immediately.
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 avoid odor
transfer and drying out of food, wrap or cover foods tightly.
To Clean Your Refrigerator:
NOTE: Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners such as window
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.
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Hand wash, rinse, and dry removable parts and interior
surfaces thoroughly. Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a
mild detergent in warm water.
3. Wash stainless steel and painted metal exteriors with a clean
sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water.
Broken Glass Hazard
Do not hit refrigerator glass doors.
Protect glass surface and edges during installation or
removal of doors.
Failure to do so can result in serious eye injury or
minor cuts.
4.
5.
On some models, wash glass door panels with a clean
sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water.
NOTE: Do not hit the glass with pots, pans, furniture, toys, or
other objects. Scratching, hitting, jarring or stressing the glass
may weaken its structure, causing an increased likelihood of
breakage at a later date.
There is no need for routine condenser cleaning in normal
home operating environments. If the environment is
particularly greasy or dusty, or there is significant pet traffic in
the home, the condenser should be cleaned every 2 to
3 months to ensure maximum efficiency.
If you need to clean the condenser:
• Remove the base grille. See the "Door Removal"
instructions, either in the User Instructions or the separate
instruction sheet provided with your refrigerator.
• Use a vacuum cleaner with asoft brush to clean the grille,
the open areas behind the grille and the front surface area
of the condenser.
• Replace the base grille when finished.
6. Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.
Chenc n<s ....
NOTE: Not all bulbs will fit your refrigerator. Be sure to replace the
bulb with one of the same size, shape and wattage. On some
models, the dispenser light requires a heavy duty 1O-watt bulb. All
other lights require a 40-watt bulb. Replacement bulbs are
available from your dealer.
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Remove light shield when applicable.
NOTE: To clean the light shield, wash it with warm water and
liquid detergent. Rinse and dry the shield well.

le refrigerateur de la source d'alimentation electrique. Lorsque
vous avez termine, reconnecter le refrigerateur &la source
d'alimentation electrique et tourner de nouveau la commande
(reglage du thermostat, du refrigerateur ou du congelateur selon
le modele) au reglage desire. Voir "Utilisation des commandes".
Rassembler les outils et pieces necessaires avant de commencer
I'installation. Lire et suivre les instructions fournies avec les outils
indiques ici.
OUTILLAGE REQUlS :
• Tournevis & lame plate
• Cles plates de 74e"et _/_"ou
deux cles & molette reglables
• Tourne-ecrou de _/4"
• Foret de V4"
• Perceuse sans fil
REMARQUE :Votre marchand de refrigerateurs presente une
trousse disponible avec un robinet d'arret &etrier de V4"
(6,35 mm), un raccord et un tube en cuivre. Avant I'achat,
s'assurer que le robinet d'arret & etrier est conforme & vos codes
Iocaux de plomberie. Ne pas employer de robinet d'arret a etrier
de 3Ae"(4,76 mm) ou de type &percer, ce qui reduit le debit d'eau
et cause une obstruction plus facilement.
IMPORTANT :
• Toutes les installations doivent etre conformes aux exigences
des codes Iocaux de plomberie.
• Utiliser un tube en cuivre et verifier s'il a des fuites. Installer les
tubes en cuivre seulement a des endroits oQ la temperature se
maintient au-dessus du point de congelation.
Pression de I'eau
Une alimentation en eau froide avec une pression entre 30 et
120 Ib/po _(207 et 827 kPa) est necessaire pour faire fonctionner
le distributeur d'eau et la machine & glagons. Si vous avez des
questions au sujet de la pression de votre eau, appeler un
plombier qualifie agree.
Alimentation en eau par osmose inverse
IMPORTANT : La pression de I'alimentation en eau entre le
systeme d'osmose inverse et la valve d'arrivee d'eau du
refrigerateur dolt etre entre 30 et 120 Ib/po 2(207 et 827 kPa).
Si un systeme de purification de I'eau par osmose inverse est
raccorde &votre alimentation en eau froide, la pression de I'eau
au systeme dolt etre d'un minimum de 40 a 60 Ib/po 2(276
414 kPa).
Si la pression de I'eau au systeme d'osmose inverse est inferieure
&40 a 60 Ib/po _ (276 & 414 kPa) :
• Verifier si le filtre &sediment du systeme d'osmose inverse est
bloque et le remplacer si necessaire.
Laisser le reservoir du systeme d'osmose inverse se remplir
apres une utilisation intense.
Si votre refrigerateur a une cartouche de filtre & eau, celle-ci
peut reduire encore plus la pression de I'eau Iorsqu'elle est
utilisee avec un systeme d'osmose inverse. Retirer la
cartouche du filtre & eau. Voir "Systeme de filtration d'eau".
Si vous avez des questions au sujet de la pression de votre eau,
appeler un plombier qualifie agree.

S'assurer qu'il s'agit d'une canalisation d'eau froide.
Un conduit horizontal fonctionnera, mais percer par le
dessus de la canalisation et non pas par le dessous. Ceci
permet de tenir le point de per_age &I'ecart de I'eau et
d'empecher les sediments qu'on trouve normalement
dans I'eau de s'accumuler dans le robinet d'arret.
Pour determiner la Iongueur du tube en cuivre, il faut mesurer
la distance entre le point de connexion inferieur & I'arriere du
refrigerateur et le tuyau d'arrivee d'eau. Ajouter une Iongueur
de 7 pi (2,1 m) pour permettre le deplacement du refrigerateur
pour le nettoyage. Utiliser un tube en cuivre de 1/4"(6,35 mm)
de diam_tre exterieur. Veiller & ce que le tube soit coupe
d'equerre aux deux extremites.

U]'ILISATION
DU REFRIGERATEUR
Ut! des co 'sc mc 'c ®s
Pour votre commodite, les commandes du refrigerateur sont
prereglees & I'usine. Lors de I'installation initiale du refrigerateur,
s'assurer que les commandes sont encore prereglees. La
commande du refrigerateur et celle du congelateur devraient
toutes les deux se trouver aux "reglages moyens".

IMPORTANT :
• Votre produit ne se refroidira pas quand la commande du
RI2FRIGERATEUR se trouve a OFE
La commande du refrigerateur regle la temperature du
compartiment de refrigeration. La commande du congelateur
regle la temperature du compartiment de congelation. Les
reglages & la gauche du reglage moyen sont pour une
temperature moins froide. Ceux qui se trouvent & droite sont
pour une temperature plus froide.
Attendre 24 heures avant de mettre des aliments au
refrigerateur. Si I'on ajoute des aliments avant que le
refrigerateur ait refroidi completement, les aliments peuvent
s'abimer.
REMARQUE :Tourner les commandes du refrigerateur et du
congelateur & un reglage plus eleve (plus froid) que le reglage
recommande ne refroidira pas les compartiments plus
rapidement.
Ajustement des commandes
Donner au refrigerateur le temps de refroidir completement avant
d'y ajouter des aliments. II est preferable d'attendre 24 heures
avant de placer les aliments au refrigerateur. Les reglages
indiques dans la section precedente devraient _tre corrects pour
I'utilisation normale du refrigerateur domestique. Les reglages
sont faits correctement Iorsque le lait ou le jus est aussi froid que
vous I'aimez et Iorsque la creme glacee est ferme.
Tourner la commande vers la droite (dans le sens horaire) pour
rendre le compartiment plus froid. Tourner la commande vers la
gauche (dans le sens antihoraire) pour le rendre moins froid. Pour
eteindre le systeme de refroidissement, tourner la commande du
refrigerateur dans le sens antihoraire a la position OFF (arr_t).
S'il est necessaire d'ajuster les temperatures dans le refrigerateur
ou congelateur, utiliser les reglages indiques dans le tableau ci-
dessous comme guide. Attendre au moins 24 heures entre les
ajustements.
