REFRIGERATOR SAFETY
Your safety and the safety of others are very important.
We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety
messages.
This is the safety alert symbol.
This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.
All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word "DANGER" or "WARNING."
These words mean:
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately
follow instructions.
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow
instructions.
All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can
happen if the instructions are not followed.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury when using your refrigerator, follow these basic precautions:
• Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
• Do not remove ground prong.
• Do not use an adapter.
• Do not use an extension cord.
[] Disconnect power before servicing.
• Replace all parts and panels before operating.
• Remove doors from your old refrigerator.
• Use nonflammable cleaner.
• Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline,
away from refrigerator.
• Use two or more people to move and install refrigerator.
• Disconnect power before installing ice maker (on ice maker
kit ready models only).
• Use a sturdy glass when dispensing ice (on some models).
• Do not hit the refrigerator glass doors (on some models).
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.
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.
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 USE
Remove the Packaging
Remove tape and glue residue from surfaces before turning
on the refrigerator. Rub a small amount of liquid dish soap
over the adhesive with your fingers. Wipe with warm water
and dry.
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."
• Dispose of/recycle all packaging materials.
Clean Before Using
After you remove all of the packaging materials, clean the inside of
your refrigerator before using it. See the cleaning instructions in
"Refrigerator Care."
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.
Read all directions before you begin.
IMPC RTANT:
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. Ifyou 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 OFE 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.
Please read before using the water system.
IMPORTANT: After connecting the refrigerator to a water source
or replacing the water filter, fill and discard two full containers of
ice to prepare the water filter for use, before using the ice.
Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of
unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or
after the system.
1, Turn on the ice maker. Slide the ice maker On/Off control,
located on the left-hand side of the ice bin, to the ON (up)

3. Reopen the ice bin to make sure it has been replaced properly.
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 Ibs 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.

...............,, .......
If the power will be out for 24 hours or less,keep the door or
doors closed (depending on your model) to help food stay cold
and frozen.
If the power will be out for more than 24 hours, do one of the
following:
• Remove all frozen food and store it in a frozen food locker.
• Place 2 Ibs (907 g) of dry ice in the freezer for every cubic foot
(28 L) of freezer space. This will keep the food frozen for 2 to
4 days.
• If neither a food locker nor dry ice is available, consume or can
perishable food at once.
REMEMBER: A full freezer stays cold longer than a partially filled
one. A freezer full of meat stays cold longer than a freezer full of
baked goods. If you see that food contains ice crystals, it may be
refrozen, although the quality and flavor may be affected. If the
condition of the food is poor, dispose of it.
Your refrigerator is equipped with the Holiday Mode feature, which
is designed for the traveler who wishes to turn off the lights and
ice maker. By selecting this feature, the temperature set points
remain unchanged, the ice maker will be disabled and the interior
lights will turn off. For most efficient refrigerator operation, it is
recommended to exit the Holiday Mode when it is no longer
required.
If You Choose to Leave the Refrigerator on While You're
Away:
1. Use up any perishables and freeze other items.
2. Press HOLIDAY MODE pad.
3. If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker, shut off the
water supply to the ice maker.
4. Empty the ice bin.
5. When you return from vacation, press HOLIDAY MODE to
return to normal operation.
If You Choose to Turn the Refrigerator Off Before You
Leave:
1. Remove all food from the refrigerator.
2. If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker:
• Turn off the water supply to the ice maker at least one day
ahead of time.
• When the last load of ice drops, slide the ice maker control
to the OFF (down) position.
3. Depending on your model, turn the Thermostat Control
(or Refrigerator Control) to OFE See "Using the Controls."
4. Clean refrigerator, wipe it, and dry well.
5. Tape rubber or wood blocks to the tops of all doors to prop
them open far enough for air to get in. This stops odor and
mold from building up.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Try the solutions suggested here first in order to avoid the cost of an unnecessary service call.
The refrigerator will not operate
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into agrounded 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.
The refrigerator is noisy
Refrigerator noise has been reduced over the years. Due to this
reduction, you may hear intermittent noises from your new
refrigerator that you did not notice from your old model. Below are
listed some normal sounds with an explanation.
• Buzzing - heard when the water valve opens to fill the ice
maker
Pulsating - fans/compressor adjusting to optimize
performance
Rattling - flow of refrigerant, water line, or from items placed
on top of the refrigerator
Sizzling/Gurgling - water dripping on the heater during
defrost cycle
Popping - contraction/expansion of inside walls, especially
during initial cool-down
Water running - may be heard when water melts during the
defrost cycle and runs into the drain pan
Creaking/Cracking - occurs as ice is being ejected from the
ice maker mold.
Power cord unplugged? Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Is outlet working? Plug in a lamp to see if the outlet is
working.
Household fuse blown or circuit breaker tripped? Replace
the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. If the problem continues,
call an electrician.

an automatic defrost cycle. Recheck in 30 minutes to see if it
is operating.
New installation? Allow 24 hours following installation for the
refrigerator to cool completely.
NOTE: Adjusting the temperature controls to coldest setting
will not cool either compartment more quickly.
The motor seems to run too much
Your new refrigerator may run longer than your old one due to its
high-efficiency compressor and fans. The unit may run even
longer if the room is warm, a large food load is added, doors are
opened often, or if the doors have been left open.
There is no audible door open alarm
Has the door been open less than10 minutes? The door open
alarm will only flash when the door has been open for 10 minutes.
The audible alarm will sound the first time the door is left open for
more than 10 minutes. Subsequent door open alarms will only
flash. You must reset the audible alarm each time. See "Using the
Control(s)."
The doors will not close completely
•Door blocked open? Move food packages away from door.
• Bin or shelf in the way? Push bin or shelf back in the correct
position.
The doors are difficult to open
Explosion Hazard

The ice cubes are hollow or small
NOTE: This is an indication of low water pressure.
•Water shutoff valve not fully open? Turn the water shutoff
valve fully open.
•Kink in the water source line? A kink in the line can reduce
water flow. Straighten the water source line.
• Reverse osmosis water filtration system connected to
your cold water supply? This can decrease water pressure.
See "Water Supply Requirements."
•Questions remain regarding water pressure? Call a
licensed, qualified plumber.
Ice is sticking together in the ice storage bin
• It is normal for frost to be on top of the ice storage bin due to
normal opening and closing of the freezer.
It is normal for ice to stick together when it is not dispensed or
used frequently. It is recommended that the ice storage bin be
emptied and cleaned as needed. See "Ice Maker and Storage
Bin."
Off-taste, odor or gray color in the ice
New plumbing connections? New plumbing connections
can cause discolored or off-flavored ice.
Ice stored too long? Discard ice. Wash ice bin. Allow
24 hours for ice maker to make new ice.
Odor transfer from food? Use airtight, moisture-proof
packaging to store food.
Are there minerals (such as sulfur) in the water? A water
filter may need to be installed to remove the minerals.
Is there a water filter installed on the refrigerator? Gray or
dark discoloration in ice indicates that the water filtration
system needs additional flushing.
