Proper Disposal (of old refrigerator)
Getting Started
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 avoid 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.
Suffocation Hazard
Remove doors from your old refrigerator.
Failure to do so can result in death or brain damage.

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.”
Before Using your Refrigerator
Important information to knowabout 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.
CAUTION
Getting Started
Broken Glass Hazard
Do not hit refrigerator glass doors
Protect glass surface and edges during installation or
removal of doors.
Failure to do so can result in serious eye injury or minor
cuts.
WARNING

Read all directions before you begin.
IMPORTANT:
■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. If you 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 OFF. See “Ice Maker and Storage Bin.”
■All installations must meet local plumbing code requirements.
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.
Water Supply Requirements

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.
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) position. Please
refer to “Ice Maker and Storage Bin” for further instructions on the
operation of your ice maker.
NOTE: Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice.
NOTE: If your model has a base grille water filter, make sure the water
filter is properly installed so that the Eject button is out. See “Water
Filtration System.”
Water System Preparation
Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of
unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or
after the system.
