First Steps
(continued) Connecting Ice Maker to Water Supply
Do Not Install Ice Maker Tubing Where Temperature May
Fall Below Freezing.
Check to be sure your water connection will comply with local plumbing codes.
Water quality determines your ice quality. It is best to connect the ice maker to
water that is not softened. Chemicals from a malfunctioning softener can
damage the ice maker. If the ice maker is connected to soft water, ensure that
the softener is maintained and working properly.
The ice maker requires a 1/4 inch (6.4 mm) copper water supply line (with
shutoff)fromyourhouseholdwatersystem.Allowenough tubing behind your
refrigeratorto permit moving out toclean floor.
Water line kit 5308950117 is available through your dealer at extra charge. This
kit includes 25 feet (7.6 meters) of 1/4 inch diameter copper tubing, plus parts to
connect to your cold water line, including a saddle valve assembly. You will need
to purchase a 1/4 inch brass compression nut and ferrule from your local hard-
wareorplumbing store.
1. Turn ON water supply and flush out copper tubing. Turn off water supply.
2. Unplugrefrigerator.
3. Install WATER SUPPLY LINE as follows (figure 2):
• Slide brass nut, then ferrule, onto copper tubing.
• Push end of copper tubing as far into the metal water valve fitting as it will
go (1/4 inch). Slide ferrule into fitting and thread brass nut onto inlet,
tightenfingertightplus 1/2 turn with wrench.
NOTE: Some models may have a cap on the valve. Unscrew the cap and
discard.
4. Secure copper tubing with STEEL CLAMP and screw to rear panel at location
shown (Figure 3).
5. Coil water supply tubing as shown (figure 3).
NOTE: To prevent vibration noise and wear, leave a space between all tubing
andothersurfaces.
6. Turn on water supply and check all connections for leaks (figure 3).
7. Plugrefrigerator cordinto walloutlet.
8. To begin ice production, lower the Wire Signal Arm to the “down” or “ON”
position(Figure 4).
IMPORTANT
Ice production will begin when freezer reaches normal operating temperature.
Air in new plumbing lines may cause ice maker to cycle two or three times
before making a full tray of ice.
New plumbing may cause ice to be discolored or have poor flavor. Discard ice
made during the first 24 hours. After installation, if you wish to shut the ice
maker off, lift the Wire Signal Arm until it clicks and locks in the “UP” position.

• Installtherefrigeratorinthemostcoolpartoftheroom,outofdirectsunlightand
away from heating ducts or registers. Do not place the refrigerator next to heat-
producing appliances such as a range, oven or dishwasher. If this is not possible,
asectionofcabinetryoranaddedlayerofinsulationbetweenthetwoappliances
will help the refrigerator operate more efficiently.
• Level the refrigerator so the doors close tightly.
• Refer to this Owner's Guide for the suggested refrigerator settings.
• Periodic cleaning of the condenser will help the refrigerator run more efficiently.
See Outside in the Care and Cleaning section.
• Do not overcrowd the refrigerator or block cold air vents. Doing so causes the
refrigeratorto run longer and usemore energy. Shelves shouldnot be lined with
aluminum foil, wax paper or paper toweling. Liners interfere with cold air
circulation, making the refrigerator less efficient, which could cause food
spoilage.
• Coverfoodsandwipecontainersdrybeforeplacingthemintherefrigerator.This
cuts down on moisture build-up inside the unit.
• Organize the refrigerator to reduce door openings. Remove as many items as
needed at one time and close the door as soon as possible.
Setting the Controls Cool Down Period
Toensuresafefoodstorage,allowtherefrigeratortooperatewiththedoorsclosed
for at least 8 to 12 hours before loading with food.
Refrigerator Control
• Therefrigeratorcontrolshouldbesetatthemidpointofthedialforatrialperiod
of 24 hours.
• After 24 hours, adjust the control as needed. For colder temperatures, turn the
dial a notch toward COLDEST. For warmer temperatures, turn the dial a notch
toward COLD. Adjust temperatures by one increment at a time.
Freezer Control
• The freezer control should be set at the midpoint of the dial for a trial period of
24 hours.
• After 24 hours, adjust the control as needed. For colder temperatures, turn the
dial a notch toward COLDEST. For warmer temperatures, turn the dial a notch
toward COLD. Adjust temperatures by one increment at a time.
NOTE: Whenfirstsettingthecontrolsorwhenchangingasetting,wait24hoursfor
the temperature to stabilize before making additional changes.
Turning the freezer control may change temperatures in both compartments. For
example,if thefreezercontrol isturnedtoacoldersetting,the refrigeratorcontrol
may have to be adjusted to a warmer one. Turning the refrigerator control will
change only the refrigerator temperature.
IMPORTANT: If the freezer control is turned to OFF, cooling stops in both
compartments.
You may hear the "Frost Free" system working. A fan circulates air in the
refrigerator and freezer compartments. For good circulation and maintenance of
proper cooling temperatures, do not block cold air vents with food items. Water
draining into the defrost water pan and hissing sounds are normal during the
automatic "Frost Free" cycle.

Crisperdrawer.Thiscanextendthelifeoffreshvegetableswhichkeepbestinhigh
humidity. Leafy vegetables, however, keep best when stored with the Humidity
Control set on HIGHER, or in a drawer without a Humidity Control. This keeps
incoming air to a minimum and maintains maximum moisture content.
Meat Keeper
The Meat Keeper is located at the bottom of the refrigerator. The temperature in
this compartment can be made colder than the rest of the refrigerator compart-
mentbysliding the Chilled Air Control knobwithintheCOLDESTor COLD range.
Meat will be partially frozen and may be kept fresh longer than if stored on a
refrigerator shelf.
BeforeplacingitemsintheMeatKeeper,followthesestepstokeepthemeatfresh:
1. Carefully handle meat with clean hands and always keep the compartment
clean.
2. Store meat in its original wrapper. If necessary, overwrap in plastic wrap or foil
to prevent drying. Wrap fish tightly to prevent odor transfer to other foods.
3. If spoilage ever occurs, disinfect the compartment with liquid chlorine bleach
followinglabel directions. Then rinsewith a solution ofbaking soda and water.

Automatic Ice and
Water Dispenser Theiceandwaterdispenseronthefreezerdoorconvenientlydispenseschilledwater
and ice cubes.
To operate the dispenser, slide the knob to the selection of your choice and press
a glass against the dispensing arm, as shown. Be sure to hold the glass as far up as
possible to catch all ice. To stop dispensing, pull glass away from dispensing arm.
When dispensing ice, release the dispensing arm before the glass is full, but do not
remove the glass until the ice has completely dispensed.
A small heated area beneath the dispenser floor catches and evaporates small spills.
This drip tray is removable and dishwasher safe. Do not pour water or excess
cubes into this area because there is no drain.
Light
The dispenser has a light which can be turned on and off by sliding the knob to the
desired position. The light also turns on automatically when ice and/or water is
dispensed. Replace light bulb with an appliance bulb of the same wattage.
How the Water Dispenser Works
The water tank is located behind the drawers in the refrigerator compartment. As
thewaterisdispensed,thetankisautomaticallyrefilled.Forproperoperationofthe
dispenser, the supply water pressure must fall between 30 psi and 120 psi.
After the refrigerator is installed and the plumbing connections are complete, the
water tank should be filled by drawing one glass of water. It may take
about 1-1/2 minutes after depressing the dispenser arm before water works its
way through the plumbing connections and begins to fill this first glass. Draw and
discard7moreglassestobesurethatthetankandplumbingconnectionsarerinsed
of any impurities. The water delivery system has a built in shut off device that will
stop the water flow after 3 minutes of continuous use. Simply release the actuator
button to reset the dispensing mechanism.
To ensure fresh-tasting water, plan to use the dispenser every day. If the water
dispenser has not been used for a week or more, draw and discard 7-8 glasses to
freshen the tank supply.
How the Ice Dispenser Works
The ice maker and ice storage bin are located in the top left corner of the freezer
compartment. After the refrigerator is installed properly and has cooled for several
hours,the ice maker can begin making ice.Tobegin ice production, lower the wire
signalarmtothe "down"orONposition.As cubesaremade,theyare storedinthe
storagebin.Withnousageitwilltakeapproximately2daystofillthebin.However,
the dispenser may be used after the first batch of ice is made. The ice maker turns
off automatically when the ice storage bin is full.
Because of new plumbing connections, the first production of ice cubes may be
discolored or have an odd flavor. These should be discarded until the cubes made
are free of discoloration and taste. Remember that water quality
determines your ice quality. It is best to connect the ice maker to water that is not
softened. Chemicals from a malfunctioning softener can damage the ice maker.
If ice maker is connected to soft water, ensure the softener is maintained and
workingproperly.
To stop the ice maker, lift the wire signal arm until it clicks and locks in the "up"
or OFF position.

Cleaning the Ice Dispenser
Clean the dispenser and ice storage bin at regular intervals, particularly before you
take a vacation or move, or if the ice dispenser sticks.
1. Stop ice production by lifting the wire signal arm to the "up" or OFF position.
2. Remove ice storage bin by lifting up and out. Empty and carefully clean the bin
withmild detergent. Do not submerge the bin while cleaning. Rinsewith clear
water. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners. Allow ice bin to dry completely
before replacing in the freezer.
3. Remove ice chips and clean the shelf and chute that supports the ice storage
bin.
4. Replace the ice storage bin. Lower the wire signal arm on the ice maker to the
