BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
This guide contains many important safety messages. Always read and obey all
safety messages.
w This is the safety alert symbol. It alerts you to safety messages that inform you of hazards that can kill
or hurt you or others or cause damage to the roduct. All safety messages will be receded by the safety
alert symbol and the hazard signal word DANGER, WARNING, or CAUTION. These words mean:
wANGER You might be killed or seriously injured if you don’t follow instructions.
wWARNING You can be killed or seriously injured if you don’t follow instructions.
wCAUTION Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may
result in minor or moderate injury, or roduct damage.
All safety messages will identify the hazard, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you
what can ha en if the instructions are not followed.
wWARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or
injury to persons when using your product,
basic safety precautions should be followed,
including the following.
Read all instructions before using this appliance.
• NEVER un lug your refrigerator by ulling on the
ower cord. Always gri the lug firmly and ull it
straight out from the outlet.
• Re air or re lace immediately all electric service
cords that have become frayed or otherwise
damaged. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or
abrasion damage along its length or at either the
lug or connector end.
• When moving your refrigerator away from the wall,
be careful not to roll over or damage the ower cord.
• DO NOT store or use gasoline or other flammable
va ors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other
a liance.
• Do NOT allow children to climb, stand, sit or hang
on doors, drawers or shelves of the refrigerator.
They could damage the refrigerator and seriously
injure themselves.
• Kee fingers out of inch oint areas; clearances
between the doors and cabinet are necessarily
small. Be careful closing doors when children are
in the area.
• Un lug your refrigerator before cleaning or making
any re airs.
NOTE: Service should be erformed by a qualified
technician.
• Before re lacing a burned-out light bulb, un lug the
refrigerator or turn off ower at the circuit breaker
or fuse box in order to avoid contact with a live wire
filament. (A burned-out light bulb may break when
being re laced.)
NOTE: Some models have LED interior lighting and
service should be erformed by a qualified
technician.
NOTE: Setting either or both controls to the OFF
osition does not remove ower to the light circuit.
• When you are finished, reconnect the refrigerator to
the electrical source and reset the control
(Thermostat Refrigerator Control, or Freezer
Control, or Freezer Control, de ending on the
model) to the desired setting.
• This refrigerator must be ro erly installed in
accordance with the Installer Instructions that
were ta ed to the front of the refrigerator.
• After your refrigerator is in o eration, do not touch
the cold surfaces in the freezer com artment when
hands are dam or wet. Skin may adhere to the
extremely cold surfaces.
• In refrigerators with automatic icemakers, avoid
contact with the moving arts of the ejector
mechanism or with the heating element that
releases the cubes. DO NOT lace fingers or hands
on the automatic icemaking mechanism while the
refrigerator is lugged in.
• o not modify or extend the power cord length.
It will cause electric shock or fire.

4
BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (CONT.)
• DO NOT refreeze frozen foods which have
thawed com letely. The United States
De artment of Agriculture in Home and Garden
Bulletin No. 69 says:
…You may safely refreeze frozen foods that have
thawed if they still contain ice crystals or if they are
still cold—below 40°F (4°C).
…Thawed ground meats, oultry, or fish that have
any off-odor or off-color should not be refrozen
and should not be eaten. Thawed ice cream
should be discarded. If the odor or color of any
food is oor or questionable, dis ose of it. The
food may be dangerous to eat.
Even artial thawing and refreezing reduces the
quality of foods, articularly fruits, vegetables,
and re ared foods. The eating quality of red
meats is affected less than that of many other
foods. Use refrozen foods as soon as ossible to
save as much of their quality as you can.
Risk of Child Entrapment
Discarded or abandoned refrigerators are
dangerous, even if they will sit for just a few
days. If you are dis osing of your old refrigerator,
lease follow the instructions below to hel revent
accidents.
Before you throw away your old refrigerator or
freezer:
• Take off the doors.
• Leave the shelves in lace
so that children may not
easily climb inside.
CFC DISPOSAL
Your old refrigerator may have a cooling system
that used CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons). CFCs are
believed to harm stratos heric ozone.
If you are throwing away your old refrigerator,
make sure the CFC refrigerant is removed for
ro er dis osal by a qualified servicer.
If you intentionally release this CFC refrigerant, you
can be subject to fines and im risonment under
rovisions of environmental legislation.

HOW TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY
IMPORTANT: Please read carefully.
wWARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
For personal safety, this appliance must be
properly grounded. Have the wall outlet and
the circuit checked by a qualified electrician to
make sure the outlet is properly grounded.
RECOMMENDED GROUNDING METHOD
The refrigerator should always be lugged into
its own individual ro erly grounded electrical
outlet rated for 120 volts, 60 Hz, AC only, and
fused at 20 am eres. This rovides the
best erformance and also revents overloading
house wiring circuits which could cause a fire
hazard from overheated wires. It is
recommended that a se arate circuit serving
only this a liance be rovided.
Use a rece tacle which cannot be turned off with
a switch or ull chain. Do not use an extension
cord. Where a standard two- rong wall outlet is
encountered, it is your ersonal res onsibility
and obligation to have it re laced with a ro erly
grounded three- rong wall outlet.
o not, under any circumstances, cut or
remove the third (ground) prong from the
power cord.
o not use an adapter plug.
NOTE: Some models have LED interior lighting and
service should be erformed by a qualified technician.
When you are finished, reconnect the refrigerator to
the electrical source and reset the control
(Thermostat, Refrigerator Control, or Freezer Control,
de ending on the model) to the desired setting.
USE OF EXTENSION CORDS
Because of potential safety hazards under
certain conditions, we strongly recommend
against the use of an extension cord.
However, if you still elect to use an extension
cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL-listed
(USA), 3-wire grounding-ty e a liance
extension cord having a grounding-ty e lug
and outlet and that the electrical rating of the
cord be 20 am eres (minimum) and 120 volts.
Use of an extension cord will increase the
clearance needed for the back of the
refrigerator.

CHOOSE THE PROPER LOCATION
wWARNING
Excessive Weight Hazard
Two or more people are required when
moving and unpacking the appliance.
• Store and install the refrigerator where it will not
be ex osed to tem eratures below freezing or
ex osed to outdoor weather conditions.
• Install this a liance in an area where the
tem erature is between 55°F (13°C) and 110°F
(43°C). If the tem erature around the a liance
is too low or too high, cooling ability may be
adversely affected.
• If this refrigerator is installed where the
tem erature is above 110°F (43°C), the
freezing ca acity is com romised and the cost
of electricity used increases.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not
install the refrigerator in a wet or dam area.
• Select a lace where a water su ly can be
easily connected for the automatic icemaker
and dis enser.
• Unstable installation may cause vibration and
noise. If the floor is not even, make the
refrigerator level by rotating the height adjusting
screws.
• Pro erly ground the refrigerator to conform with
all governing codes and ordinances.
wCAUTION
Avoid placing the unit near heat sources,
direct sunlight, or moisture.

CONNECTING THE WATER SUPPLY
wWARNING
Connect to safe drinking water supply
only.
• The water ressure must be between 21 and
121 .s.i. (1.5~8.5 kgf/cm2 ) on models without a
water filter and between 43 and 121 .s.i.
(3~8.5 kgf/cm2) on models with a water filter.
• If water ressure does not reach 21 si
(1.5kgf/cm2) or falls below, it is necessary to
urchase a se arate ressure um for normal
automatic icemaker and water dis ensing o eration.
• It is recommended that the total length of the
water feed tube does not exceed 26 ft. (8 m).
• Install the water su ly line where it will not be
affected by heat.
IMPORTANT: Read all directions thoroughly
before you begin.
• If o erating the refrigerator before installing the
water connection, turn the icemaker to the OFF
osition to revent o eration without water.
• All installations must be in accordance with local
lumbing code requirements.
• Use co er tubing and check for leaks.
• Install tubing only in areas where tem eratures
will remain above freezing.
• It may take u to 24 hours for the icemaker to begin
roducing ice.
Tools Required
• Standard screwdriver
• 7/16-in. and 1/2-in. o en-end wrenches or two
adjustable wrenches
• 1/4-in. nut driver
• 1/4-in. drill bit
• Hand drill or electric drill ( ro erly grounded)
NOTE: Refrigerator dealers offer a kit with a 1/4-in.
saddle-ty e shutoff valve, a union, and co er tubing.
Before urchasing, make sure a saddle-
ty e valve com lies with local lumbing codes.
o not use a piercing-type or 3/16-in. saddle valve
which reduces water flow and clogs more easily.
NOTE: The Commonwealth of Massachusetts
Plumbing Code 248CMR shall be adhered to.
Saddle valves are illegal and use is not ermitted in
Massachusetts. Consult with your licensed lumber.
Cold Water Supply
• The icemaker water valve contains a flow washer
which is used as a water ressure regulator.
• The icemaker needs to be connected to a cold water
line with water ressure between 21~121 si
(1.5~8.5 kgf/cm2) on models without a water filter
and between 43 and 121 .s.i. (3~8.5kgf/cm2) on
models with a water filter.

18
CONNECTING THE WATER LINES
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
This water line installation is not warranted by the
refrigerator or icemaker manufacturer. Follow these
instructions carefully to minimize the risk of ex ensive
water damage.
Water hammer (water banging in the i es) in house
lumbing can cause damage to refrigerator arts and
lead to water leakage or flooding. Call a qualified
lumber to correct water hammer before installing the
water su ly line to the refrigerator.
To revent burns and roduct damage, do not hook
u the water line to the hot water line.
If you use your refrigerator before connecting the
water line, make sure the icemaker ower switch is in
the O (off) osition.
Do not install the icemaker tubing in areas where
tem eratures fall below freezing.
When using any electrical device (such as a ower
drill) during installation, be sure the device is double-
insulated or grounded in a manner to revent the
hazard of electric shock, or is battery- owered.
All installations must be in accordance with local
lumbing code requirements.
NOTE: Wear eye rotection.
WHAT YOU WILL NEED
• Co er Tubing, 1/4" outer
diameter to connect the
refrigerator to the water
su ly. Be sure both ends of
the tubing are cut square.
To determine how much
tubing you need: measure the distance from the
water valve on the back of the refrigerator to the
water su ly i e. Then add 8 feet (2.4 m). Be sure
there is sufficient extra tubing (about 8 feet [2.4 m]
coiled into 3 turns of about 10" [25 cm] diameter) to
allow the refrigerator to move out from the wall after
installation.
• A cold water su ly. The water ressure must be
between 20 and 120 .s.i. on models without a
water filter and between 40 and 120 .s.i. on models
with a water filter.
• Power drill.
• 1/2" or adjustable wrench.
• Straight- and Philli s-blade
screwdriver.
• Two 1/4" outer diameter
com ression nuts and 2
ferrules (sleeves) to connect
the co er tubing to the
shutoff valve and the
refrigerator water valve.
• If your existing co er water
line has a flared fitting at the
end, you will need an ada ter
(available at lumbing su ly
stores) to connect the water
line to the refrigerator OR you
can cut off the flared fitting with a tube cutter and
then use a com ression fitting.
• Shutoff valve to connect to
the cold water line. The
shutoff valve should have a
water inlet with a minimum
inside diameter of 5/32" at
the oint of connection to the
COLD WATER LINE. Saddle-ty e shutoff valves are
included in many water su ly kits. Before
urchasing, make sure a saddle-ty e valve com lies
with your local lumbing codes.

19
CONNECTING THE WATER LINES (CONT.)
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Install the shutoff valve on the nearest frequently
used drinking water line.
1. SHUT OFF THE MAIN WATER SUPPLY
Turn on the nearest faucet to relieve the ressure
on the line.
2. CHOOSE THE VALVE LOCATION
Choose a location for the
valve that is easily accessible.
It is best to connect into the
side of a vertical water i e.
When it is necessary to
connect into a horizontal water
i e, make the connection to the to or side, rather
than at the bottom, to avoid drawing off any sediment
from the water i e.
3. RILL THE HOLE FOR THE VALVE
Drill a 1/4" hole in the water
i e (even if using a self-
iercing valve) using a shar
bit. Remove any burrs
