4
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Unpack the Refrigerator
Remove the Packaging
IMPORTANT: Do not remove the white foam air return insert from
behind the control panel on the ceiling of the refrigerator. If the
insert is removed, ice may migrate down from the freezer and
cause icicles to form.
1. Using two or more people, tilt the refrigerator to one side.
Remove the screws fastening the plastic runner to the bottom
of the refrigerator. Repeat to remove the runner from the
opposite side.
2. Locate the brake foot inside the crisper drawer. Insert the
brake foot into the bottom hole of the roller assembly on the
front, hinge side of the refrigerator.
NOTE: The brake foot is used when leveling the refrigerator.
To level the refrigerator, see “Adjust the Doors.”
3. 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. Rinse with warm water
and dry with a soft cloth.
NOTE: 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.”
Clean Before Using
After you remove all of the package materials, clean the inside of
your refrigerator before using it. See the cleaning instructions in
“Refrigerator Care.”
Location Requirements
IMPORTANT: This refrigerator is designed for indoor household
use only.
To ensure proper ventilation for your refrigerator, allow for ½"
(1.25 cm) of space on each side and at the top. Allow for 1"
(2.54 cm) of space behind the refrigerator. If your refrigerator has
an ice maker, allow extra space at the back for the water line
connections. When installing your refrigerator next to a fixed wall,
leave a 2" (5.08 cm) minimum space on the hinge side (some
models require more) to allow the door to swing open.
NOTE: This refrigerator is intended for use in a location where the
temperature ranges from a minimum of 55°F (13°C) to a
maximum of 110°F (43°C). The preferred room temperature range
for optimum performance, which reduces electricity usage and
provides superior cooling, is between 60°F (15°C) and 90°F
(32°C). It is recommended that you do not install the refrigerator
near a heat source, such as an oven or radiator.
WARNING
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install
refrigerator.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
When MovingYour Refrigerator:
Your refrigerator is heavy. When moving the refrigerator for
cleaning or service, be sure to cover the floor with
cardboard or hardboard to avoid floor damage. Always pull
the refrigerator straight out when moving it. Do not wiggle or
“walk” the refrigerator when trying to move it, as floor
damage could occur.
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.
WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as
gasoline, away from refrigerator.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
1 / 2" (1.25 cm)
2" (5.08 cm)

5
Electrical Requirements
Before you move your refrigerator into its final location, it is
important to make sure you have the proper electrical
connection:
Recommended Grounding Method
A 115 Volt 60 Hz. (Plug 1), 220/240 Volt 50 Hz. (Plugs 2 or 3), or
220 Volt 60 Hz. (Plug 3) AC only 10-amp fused and grounded
(earthed) electrical supply is required.
It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only your
refrigerator be provided. Use an outlet that cannot be turned off
by a switch or pull chain. Do not use an extension cord.
NOTE: Before performing any type of installation, cleaning, or
removing a light bulb, turn the control, (Thermostat, Refrigerator
or Freezer Control depending on the model) to OFF and then
disconnect the refrigerator from the electrical source. When you
are finished, reconnect the refrigerator to the electrical source
and reset the control (Thermostat, Refrigerator or Freezer Control
depending on the model) to the desired setting.
For Saudi Arabia:
Your new appliance has been especially manufactured to meet all
Saudi Arabia Standards and Conditions.
Some notations in the installation instructions may refer to
electrical requirements in other countries, so we draw your
particular attention to these specific notes.
Your appliance needs to be plugged into a 220 Volt 60 Hz
10-amp (Plug 3) AC only earthed outlet.
Water Supply Requirements
Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation.
Read and follow the instructions provided with any tools listed
here.
TOOLS NEEDED:
NOTE: Your refrigerator dealer has a kit available with a ¹⁄₄"
(6.35 mm) saddle-type shutoff valve, a union, and copper tubing.
Before purchasing, make sure a saddle-type valve complies with
your local plumbing codes. Do not use a piercing-type or ³⁄₁₆"
(4.76 mm) saddle valve which reduces water flow and clogs more
easily.
IMPORTANT:
■All installations must meet local plumbing code requirements.
■Use copper tubing and check for leaks. Install copper tubing
only in areas where the household temperatures will remain
above freezing.
Water Pressure
A potable cold water supply with water pressure of 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, 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 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa).
If the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system is less than
40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 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 you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed,
qualified plumber.
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded (earthed) 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.
Plug 1 Plug 2 Plug 3
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Disconnect power before servicing.
Replace all parts and panels before operating.
Failure to do so can result in death or electrical shock.
■Flat-blade screwdriver
■⁷⁄₁₆" and ¹⁄₂" Open-end or two
adjustable wrenches
■¹⁄₄" Nut driver
■¹⁄₄" Drill bit
■Cordless drill

6
Connect the Water Supply
Read all directions before you begin.
IMPORTANT: If you turn the refrigerator on before the water line
is connected, turn the ice maker OFF.
Connect to Water Line
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Turn OFF main water supply. Turn ON nearest faucet long
enough to clear line of water.
3. Locate a ½" to 1¹⁄₄" (1.25 cm to 3.18 cm) vertical cold water
pipe near the refrigerator.
IMPORTANT:
■Make sure it is a cold water pipe.
■Horizontal pipe will work, but drill on the top side of the
pipe, not the bottom. This will help keep water away from
the drill and normal sediment from collecting in the valve.
4. Determine the length of copper tubing you need. Measure
from the connection on the lower left rear of refrigerator to the
water pipe. Add 7 ft (2.1 m) to allow for cleaning. Use ¹⁄₄"
(6.35 mm) O.D. (outside diameter) copper tubing. Be sure
both ends of copper tubing are cut square.
5. Using a cordless drill, drill a ¹⁄₄" hole in the cold water pipe
you have selected.
6. Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water pipe with the pipe
clamp. Be sure the outlet end is solidly in the ¹⁄₄" drilled hole
in the water pipe and that the washer is under the pipe clamp.
Tighten the packing nut. Tighten the pipe clamp screws
slowly and evenly so washer makes a watertight seal. Do not
overtighten or you may crush the copper tubing.
7. Slip the compression sleeve and compression nut on the
copper tubing as shown. Insert the end of the tubing into the
outlet end squarely as far as it will go. Screw compression nut
onto outlet end with adjustable wrench. Do not overtighten.
8. Place the free end of the tubing in a container or sink, and
turn ON the main water supply. Flush the tubing until water is
clear. Turn OFF the shutoff valve on the water pipe. Coil the
copper tubing.
Connect to Refrigerator
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Attach the copper tube to the valve inlet using a compression
nut and sleeve as shown. Tighten the compression nut. Do
not overtighten.
3. Use the tube clamp on the back of the refrigerator to secure
the tubing to the refrigerator as shown. This will help avoid
damage to the tubing when the refrigerator is pushed back
against the wall.
4. Turn shutoff valve ON.
5. Check for leaks. Tighten any connections (including
connections at the valve) or nuts that leak.
6. The ice maker is equipped with a built-in water strainer. If
your water conditions require a second water strainer, install
it in the ¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm) water line at either tube connection.
Obtain a water strainer from your nearest appliance dealer.
Complete the Installation
1. Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
NOTE: Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard
the first three batches of ice produced. Allow 3 days to
completely fill ice container.

Adjust the Doors
IMPORTANT: To comply with American Disabilities Act (ADA)
guidelines, fully retract the rollers into the cabinet to lower the
refrigerator.
Door Closing
The base grille covers the leveling/roller assemblies located at
the bottom of the refrigerator cabinet. Before making
adjustments, remove the base grille and move the refrigerator to
its final location.
1. Remove the base grille. Grasp the grille firmly and pull it
toward you.
2. If you did not install the brake foot on the hinge side when
you unpacked the refrigerator, install the brake foot now. See
“Unpack the Refrigerator.”
3. Move the refrigerator to its final location.
NOTE: To allow the refrigerator to roll easier, raise the leveling
legs or brake feet off the floor by turning them
counterclockwise. The front rollers will be touching the floor.
4. Make sure the doors close easily. If you are satisfied with the
door opening and closing, skip steps 3 and 4. If the doors do
not close easily or the doors pop open, adjust the tilt.
Style 1 - Flat Door Models
■Use a socket driver to adjust the leveling screws. Turn the
leveling screw to the right to raise that side of the
refrigerator or turn the leveling screw to the left to lower
that side. It may take several turns of the leveling screws
to adjust the tilt of the refrigerator.
NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the
refrigerator takes some weight off the leveling screws and
rollers which makes it easier to adjust.
Style 2 - Contour Door Models
■Use a ¹⁄₄" open-end wrench to turn both brake feet
clockwise. This will raise the front of the refrigerator tilting
it slightly downward to the rear. Turn both brake feet the
same amount.
NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the
refrigerator takes some weight off the brake feet making
them easier to turn.
5. Open both doors again to make sure they close as easily as
you like and that they stay closed. If not, tilt the refrigerator
slightly more to the rear. It may take several more turns.
NOTE: To keep the refrigerator level, you should turn both
leveling screws or brake feet (depending on your model) the
same amount.
6. Replace the base grille.
Door Aligning
If the space between your doors looks uneven, you can adjust it
using the following instructions:
1. Pry off the top hinge cover.
2. Loosen the top hinge screws using a ⁵⁄₁₆" socket or wrench.
3. Have someone hold the door in place or put a spacer
between the doors while you tighten the top hinge screws.

Ice Maker
(on some models)
IMPORTANT: For models with a water filter, after connecting the
refrigerator to a water source or replacing the water filter, fill and
discard three full containers of ice to prepare the water filter for
use.
Turning the Ice Maker On/Off
To turn the ice maker ON, simply lower the wire shutoff arm.
To manually turn the ice maker OFF, lift the wire shutoff arm to the
OFF (arm up) position and listen for the click.
NOTE: Your ice maker has an automatic shutoff. As ice is made,
the ice cubes will fill the ice storage bin and the ice cubes will
raise the wire shutoff arm to the OFF (arm up) position. Do not
force the wire shutoff arm up or down.
Ice Storage Bin
1. Wash the ice storage bin with mild soap and warm water.
2. Slide the ice storage bin under the ice maker, and push it
toward the back as far as it will go.
3. Lower the arm on the ice maker to the “on” position.
NOTE: It usually takes approximately 24 hours for the ice
maker to begin producing ice. You may notice the ice has an
“off-taste.” If so, discard the first three batches of ice
produced. After that the “off-taste” should be gone.
Ice Production Rate
■The ice maker should produce approximately 8 to 12 batches
of ice in a 24-hour period. Allow 3 days to completely fill the
ice container.
■To increase ice production, lower the freezer and refrigerator
temperature. See “Using the Control(s).” Wait 24 hours
between adjustments.
Remember
■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.
■Do not use anything sharp to break up the ice in the bin. This
can cause damage to the ice storage bin and the dispenser
mechanism.
■Do not store anything on top of or in the ice maker or ice
storage bin.

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. Seal the package
or container securely to avoid taste and odor transfer throughout
the product. 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 to
1,350 g per L] of freezer space). Leave enough space in the
freezer for air to circulate around packages. The freezer door
must close tightly.
NOTE: For more information on preparing food for freezing,
check a freezer guide or reliable cookbook.

REFRIGERATOR CARE
Cleaning
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.
■For stainless steel models, stainless steel is corrosion-
resistant and not corrosion-proof. To help avoid corrosion of
your stainless steel, keep your surfaces clean by using the
following cleaning instructions.
To Clean Your Refrigerator:
NOTE: Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners such as window
sprays, scouring cleansers, flammable fluids, muriatic acid,
cleaning waxes, concentrated detergents, bleaches or cleansers
containing petroleum products on exterior surfaces (doors and
cabinet), 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. Clean the exterior surfaces.
Painted metal: Wash painted metal exteriors with a clean,
soft cloth or sponge and a mild detergent in warm water.
Rinse surfaces with clean, warm water and dry immediately
to avoid water spots.
Stainless steel: Wash stainless steel surfaces with a clean,
soft cloth or sponge and a mild detergent in warm water.
Rinse surfaces with clean, warm water and dry immediately
to avoid water spots.
NOTE: When cleaning stainless steel, always wipe in the
direction of the grain to avoid cross-grain scratching.
WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Use nonflammable cleaner.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

longer if the room is warm, a large food load is added, the door is
opened often, or if the door has been left open.
The refrigerator seems 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 explanations.
■Buzzing - heard when the water valve opens to fill the ice
maker
■Pulsating - fans/compressor adjusting to optimize
performance.
■Hissing/Rattling - flow of refrigerant, movement of water
lines, 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/dripping - may be heard when ice melts
during defrosting 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 or they pop open
■Door blocked open? Move food packages away from door.
■Bin or shelf in the way? Push bin or shelf back in the correct
position.
■Crisper cover in the way? Make sure the crisper cover is
fully pushed in, so that the back rests on the supports.
■Refrigerator not tilted toward the rear? So the doors will
close easier, raise the front of the refrigerator so that it tilts
slightly downward toward the rear. See “Adjust the Doors.”
■Door closed too quickly? Close the door slowly and firmly to
keep the door from popping open.
The door is difficult to open
■Gaskets dirty or sticky? Clean gaskets and contact surfaces
with mild soap and warm water. Rinse and dry with soft cloth.
