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:
• Take off the doors.
• Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily
climb inside.

REFRIGERATOR USE
• , _ _, ................. ,
On some models, your refrigerator's accessory packet includes
an air filter, which must be installed prior to use. On some models,
the air filter is already installed at the factory. Installing the Air Filter (on some models)
The filter should be installed behind the vented door, which is
located (depending on your model) along either the rear or left
interior wall near the top of the refrigerator compartment.
1. Remove the air filter from its packaging.
2. Lift open the vented door.
3. Snap the filter into place.
Installing the Filter Status Indicator (on some models)
The filter comes with a status indicator, which should be activated
and installed at the same time the air filter is installed.
The air filter reduces the buildup of odors. This helps to maintain a
cleaner environment inside the refrigerator.
2
1. Place the indicator face-down on a firm, flat surface.
2. Apply pressure to the bubble on the back of the indicator, until
the bubble pops to activate the indicator.
3. Lift open the vented air filter door. On some models, there are
notches behind the door.

4. On models with notches:
• Slide the indicator down into the notches, facing outward.
NOTE: The indicator will not easily slide into the notches
if the rear bubble has not been popped.
• Close the air filter door, and check that the indicator is
visible through the rectangular hole in the door.
On models without notches:
• Store the indicator in a visible place you will easily
remember - either inside the refrigerator, or elsewhere in
your kitchen or home.
Replacing the Air Filter
The disposable air filter should be replaced every 6 months, when
the status indicator has completely changed from white to red.
To order a replacement air filter, contact us using the
assistance/service information following the warranty.
1. Remove the old air filter by squeezing in on the side tabs.
2. Remove the old status indicator.

Adjusting the Controls
For your convenience, your refrigerator and freezer controls are
preset at the factory. When you first install your refrigerator, make
sure that the controls are still set to the "mid-settings." The factory
recommended set points are 37°F (3°C) for the refrigerator and
0°F (-18°C) for the freezer.
IMPO RTANT:
• Wait 24 hours before you put food into the refrigerator. If you
add food before the refrigerator has cooled completely, your
food may spoil.
NOTE: Adjusting the set points to a colder than
recommended setting will not cool the compartments any
faster.
If the temperature is too warm or too cold in the refrigerator or
freezer, first check the air vents to be sure they are not
blocked before adjusting the controls.
The preset settings should be correct for normal household

MEASURED FILL at the same time for 3 seconds again.
Dual Evaporator (on some models)
Some models come equipped with a dual sequential evaporation
system, which includes two separate evaporators for the
refrigerator and freezer compartments.
Dual evaporation results in higher humidity, which helps keep
foods in the refrigerator from spoiling as quickly and improves
food quality and freshness in the freezer due to decreased freezer
burn. In addition, the dual evaporation system helps keep food
smells in the refrigerator from transferring to ice in the freezer.
NOTE: The dual evaporation system is always activated when
your refrigerator is operating. You do not need to press any
buttons to turn it on.
The control can be adjusted to properly chill meats or vegetables.
The air inside the pan is cooled to avoid "spot" freezing and can
be set to keep meats at the National Livestock and Meat Board
recommended storage temperatures of 28° to 32°F (-2° to 0°C).
To store meat:
Set the control to one of the three MEAT settings to store meat at
its optimal storage temperature.
To store vegetables:
Set the control to VEG to store vegetables at their optimal storage
temperatures.
NOTE: If food starts to freeze, move the control to the right (less
cold), toward the VEG setting. Remember to wait 24 hours
between adjustments.
i/
You can control the amount of humidity in the moisture-sealed
crisper. Adjust the control to any setting between LOW and HIGH.
LOW (open) for best storage of fruits and vegetables with skins.
HIGH (closed) for best storage of fresh, leafy vegetables.
Cool air from the freezer is directed to the refrigerator door bin
directly beneath the vents.
NOTE: The dairy compartment and can rack are not associated
with the Chilled Door Bin feature.
Chilled Door Bin Control
The chilled door bin control is located on the left-hand side of the
refrigerator compartment.

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.
• 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 display screen on the dispenser control panel will turn off
automatically and enter "sleep" mode when the control
buttons and dispenser levers have not been used for
2 minutes or more. While in "sleep" mode, the first press of a
control button will only reactivate the display screen, without
changing any settings. After reactivation, changes to any
settings can then be made. If no changes are made within
2 minutes, the display will re-enter "sleep" mode.

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.

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.
4.
5.
Wash stainless steel and painted metal exteriors with a clean
sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water.
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 a soft 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.
Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.

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 refrigerator 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.
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
•Clicking/Snapping - valves opening or closing
•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 ice melts during the
defrost cycle and water runs into the drain pan
• Creaking/Cracking - occurs as ice is being ejected from the
ice maker mold.
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

Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
•Are the gaskets dirty or sticky? Clean gaskets with mild
soap and warm water.
The refrigerator rocks and is not stable
What do I do if the refrigerator rocks and is not stable?
To stabilize the refrigerator, remove the base grille and lower
the leveling feet until they touch the floor. See the "Door
Removal" instructions, either in the User Instructions or the
separate instruction sheet provided with your refrigerator.
The lights do not work
•Is alight bulb loose in the socket or burned out? See
"Changing the Light Bulbs."
Is the dispenser light set to OFF? On some models, the
dispenser light will operate only when a dispenser lever/pad is
pressed. If you want the dispenser light to stay on
continuously, set the dispenser light to ON, or (on some
models) NIGHT LIGHT or AUTO or HALF or DIM. See "Water
and Ice Dispensers."
Is the dispenser light set to NIGHT LIGHT or AUTO? On
some models, if the dispenser is set to the NIGHT LIGHT or
AUTO mode, be sure the dispenser light sensor is not
blocked. See "Water and Ice Dispensers."

production.
10

Ice clogged in the ice storage bin or delivery chute?
Remove clogged ice, using a plastic utensil if necessary.
Clean chute and bottom of storage bin using a warm moist
cloth, and dry both thoroughly. To avoid clogging and maintain
a fresh supply of ice, empty the storage bin and clean both the
bin and delivery chute every two weeks.
Has the wrong ice been added to the bin? Use only cubes
produced by the current ice maker.
Has the ice melted around the auger (metal spiral) in the
ice bin? Empty the ice container. Use warm water to melt the
ice if necessary.
Cut Hazard
Use a sturdy glass when dispensing ice.
Failure to do so can result in cuts.

levaporateur double (sur certains modules)
Certains modeles sont equipes d'un double systeme
d'evaporation sequentiel, compose de deux evaporateurs
distincts pour les compartiments de refrigeration et de
congelation.
La double evaporation engendre un taux d'humidite superieur, qui
contribue & ralentir la deterioration des aliments dans le
refrigerateur et & ameliorer leur qualite et leur fraicheur dans le
congelateur en raison d'une brQlure de congelation moins vive.
En outre, le double systeme d'evaporation contribue & eviter que
les odeurs de nourriture presentes dans le refrigerateur ne se
transferent a la glace du congelateur.
REMARQUE : Le double systeme d'evaporation est toujours
active Iorsque le refrigerateur fonctionne. II n'est pas necessaire
d'appuyer sur un quelconque bouton pour I'activer.
