Important Safety Instructions (Continued)
* Do not store or use gasoline, or other
flammable liquids in the vicinity of this or
any other appliance. Read product labels
for warnings regarding flammability and
other hazards.
*Do not operate the unit in the presence of
explosive fumes.
*Remove and discard any spacers used to
secure the shelves during shipping. Small
objects are a choke hazard to children.
*Remove all staples from the carton.
Staples can cause severe cuts, and also
destroy finishes if they come in contact
with other appliances or furniture.
Child Safety
Destroy or recycle the carton, plastic bags, and
any exterior wrapping material immediately
after the unit isunpacked. 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 Appliance
RiskofChildEntrapment
Child entrapment and suffocation are
not problems of the past. Junked or
abandoned appliances are still dangerous
-even if they will sit for "just a few days."
If you are getting rid of your appliance,
please follow the instructions below to
help prevent accidents.
Before You Throw Away Your Old Unit:
*Remove doors.
*Leave shelves in place so children may not
easily climb inside.
_WARNING
These guidelines must be followed to
ensure that safety mechanisms in this
unit will operate properly.
IMPORTANT
CFC/HCFC Disposal
Your old refrigerator may have a
cooling system that used CFCs or
HCFCs(chlorofiuorocarbons or
hydrochlorofiuorocarbons). CFCs and
HCFCs are believed to harm stratospheric
ozone if released to the atmosphere. Other
refrigerants may also cause harm to the
environment if released to the atmosphere.
If you are throwing away your old
refrigerator, make sure the refrigerant is
removed for proper disposal by a qualified
technician. If you intentionally release
refrigerant, you may be subject to fines
and imprisonment under provisions of
environmental legislation.

Important Safety Instructions (Continued)

This Use & Care Guide provides general
installation and operating instructions for
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.
CAUTION
Do not install the refrigerator where
the temperature will drop below 55°F
(13°C) or rise above IIO°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 electrical connections:
Sides & Top 3/8inch (9.5 mm)
Back 1inch (25.4 mm)
NOTE
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.

Installation
Door Opening
NOTE
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.
Levellng Freezer Door (if necessary)

Connecting the Water Supply
_WARNING
To avoid electric shock, which can
cause death or severe personal injury,
disconnect the refrigerator from electrical
power before connecting awater supply
line to the refrigerator.
_CAUTION
To Avoid Property Damage:
• Copper or Stainless Steel braided tubing
is recommended for the water supply
line. Water supply tubing made of 1¼
inch plastic isnat recommended to be
used. Plastic tubing greatly increases
the potential for water leaks, and the
manufacturer will not be responsible far
any damage if plastic tubing isused far
the supply line.
• DO NOT install water supply tubing
in areas where temperatures fall
below freezing.
• Chemicals from a malfunctioning
softener can damage the ice maker.
If the ice maker is connected to soft
water, ensure that the softener is
maintained and working properly.
IMPORTANT
Ensure that your water supply line
connections comply with all local
plumbing codes.
Before InstallingThe Water Supply Line,
YouWill Need:
*Basic Tools: adjustable wrench, fiat-blade
screwdriver, and Phillips TM screwdriver
*Access to a household cold water line with
water pressure between 30 and 100 psi.
*A water supply line made of t/4 inch
(6.4 ram) OD_ copper or stainless steel
tubing. To determine the length of tubing
needed, measure the distance from the
ice maker inlet valve at the back of the
refrigerator to your cold water pipe. Then
add approximately 7 feet (2.1 meters),
so the refrigerator can be moved out for
cleaning (as shown).
A shutoff valve to connect the water
supply line to your household water
system. DO NO]" use a self-piercing type
shutoff valve.
*Do not reuse compression fitting or use
thread seal tape.
*A compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) for
connecting a copper water supply line to
the ice maker inlet valve.
NOTE
Check with your local building authority
for recommendations on water lines and
associated materials prior to installing
your new refrigerator.
To Connect Water Supply Line To Ice Maker
Inlet Valve
1.
2.
3.
4.
Disconnect refrigerator from electric
power source.
Place end of water supply line into sink
or bucket. Turn ON water supply and
flush supply line until water is clear. Turn
OFF water supply at shutoff valve.
Remove plastic cap from water valve
inlet and discard cap.
If you use copper tubing - Slide brass
compression nut, then ferrule (sleeve)
onto water supply line. Push water
supply line into water valve inlet as far
as it will go (1/4inch/6.4 ram). Slide
ferrule (sleeve) into valve inlet and finger
tighten compression nut onto valve.
Tighten another half turn with a wrench;
DO NOT overtighten. See Figure 1.
If you use stainless steel tubing - The
nut and ferrule are already assembled
on the tubing. Slide compression nut
onto valve inlet and finger tighten
compression nut onto valve. Tighten
another half turn with a wrench; DO
NOT overtighten. See Figure 2.

Sabbath Mode
The Sabbath Mode is a feature that
disables portions of the refrigerator and its
controls in accordance with observance of
the weekly Sabbath and religious holidays
within the Orthodox Jewish community.
Sabbath Mode is turned ON and OFF
by pressing and holding both the freezer
"v"and refrigerator " A " indicators for
five seconds. The display shows "Sb" while
in Sabbath mode.
In the Sabbath Mode, the High Temp
alarm is active for health reasons. If
a high temperature alarm is activated
during this time, for example due to
a door left ajar, the alarm will sound
intermittently for about 10 minutes. The
alarm will then silence on its own and a
red high temperature icon will display.
The high temp icon will continue to
display, even if the door is closed, until
the Sabbath mode is exited and the
icon reset. The refrigerator will function
normally once the door is closed, without
any violation of the Sabbath/Holidays.
For further assistance, guidelines
for proper usage and a

Automatic Ice Maker - Freezer
Operation & Care of the Freezer
Ice Maker
After the refrigerator is installed properly,
the ice maker can produce ice within 24
hours. It can completely fill the ice bin in
about three 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
FULL buckets of ice. It will take at least
two days to completely fill the bucket on
regular ice making mode or 11/2 days on
fast ice mode.
The ice maker produces approximately
four pounds of ice every 24 hours
depending on usage conditions.
IMPORTANT
Your ice maker is turned on at the
factory so it can 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.
