Read all directions before you begin.
IMPORTANT:
■When your refrigerator was installed, the water connection
from the water source should have been connected to your
refrigerator. If your refrigerator is not connected to a water
source, see “Connect to Water Line” in the Installation
Instructions. If you have any questions about your water
connection, see “Troubleshooting” or call a licensed, qualified
plumber.
■If you turn the refrigerator on before the water line is
connected, turn the ice maker OFF. See “Ice Maker and
Storage Bin.”
■All installations must meet local plumbing code requirements.
Water Pressure
A cold water supply with water pressure between 30 and 120 psi
(207 and 827 kPa) is required to operate the water dispenser and
ice maker. If you have questions about your water pressure, see
“Troubleshooting” or 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 psi (276 kPa).
If the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system is less than
40 psi (276 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.

An air filter is 15 times more powerful than baking soda at
reducing common food odors inside the refrigerator.
On some models, your refrigerator's accessory packet includes
an air filter, which must be installed prior to use.
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.
A. On/Off control
Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of
unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or
after the system.

The produce preserver absorbs ethylene to slow the ripening
process of many produce items. As a result, certain produce
items will stay fresh longer.
Ethylene production and sensitivity varies depending on the type
of fruit or vegetable. To preserve freshness, it is best to separate
produce with sensitivity to ethylene from fruits that produce
moderate to high amounts of ethylene.
Installing the Produce Preserver
1. Wash the interior of a crisper drawer with a solution of mild
dish soap and warm water, and dry thoroughly.
2. Find the package containing the Produce Preserver inside the
refrigerator, and install the Produce Preserver into the crisper
drawer according to the instructions provided in the package.
Replacing the Produce Preserver
The disposable packets should be replaced every 6 months or
when the status indicator changes completely from white to red.
To order replacements, contact us. See “Accessories” for
information on ordering.
1. Remove the used packets from the produce preserver
housing.
2. Remove the used status indicator.
3. Install the replacement packets and status indicator using the
instructions included in the package.

Ice Storage Bin Care
NOTE: It is normal for ice to stick together in the ice bin. It is
recommended that the ice bin be emptied and cleaned as
needed.
To clean the ice storage bin:
1. Slide the ice bin out of the freezer, and then lift up and out.
2. Empty the ice bin. Use warm water to melt the ice if
necessary.
NOTE: Do not use anything sharp to break up the ice in the
bin. This can cause damage to the ice bin and the dispenser
mechanism.
3. Wash ice bin with warm water and a mild detergent, rinse well
and dry thoroughly. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners or
solvents.
REMEMBER:
■Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice.
■It may take 3 to 4 days for the ice bin to completely fill, if no
ice is used.
■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.
■It is normal for the ice cubes to be attached at the corners.
They will break apart easily.
■Do not store anything inside the ice bin.

The shelves in your refrigerator are adjustable to meet your
individual storage needs.
Storing similar food items together in your refrigerator and
adjusting the shelves to fit different heights of items will make
finding the exact item you want easier. It will also reduce the
amount of time the refrigerator door is open, and save energy.

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.

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 to 3 lbs of food per cubic foot
[907-1,350 g per 28 L] of freezer space). Leave enough space in
the freezer for air to circulate around packages. Be sure 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.
