SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
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." Ifyou are getting rid of
your old refrigerator, please follow these instructions to help
prevent accidents.
Before You Throw Away Your Old Refrigerator or Freezer:
• Takeoff the doors.
• Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily
climb inside.
INSTALLATIONINSTRUCTIONS
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 Moving "{our Refrigerator:
Your refrigerator is heavy. When moving the refrigerator
for cleaning or service, be sure to protect the floor.
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.
Remove packaging materials. 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."
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.
For your protection, tempered glass is designed to shatter
into many small, pebble-size pieces. This is normal. Glass
shelves and covers are heavy. Use special care when
removing them to avoid impact from dropping.
2

Explosion Hazard
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as
gasoline, away from refrigerator.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
To ensure proper ventilation for your refrigerator, allow for 1/2"
(1.25 cm) space on each side and at the top. When installing your
refrigerator next to a fixed wall, leave 2" (5.08 cm) minimum on
each side (depending on your model) to allow for the door to
swing open. If your refrigerator has an ice maker, allow extra
space at the back for the water line connections.
NOTES:

It is recommended that you do not install the refrigerator near
an oven, radiator, or other heat source. Do not install in a
location where the temperature will fall below 55°F (13°C).
Normal minimum cabinet cut-out width required for product
installation is 36" (91.44 cm). However, if the product is placed
against an extended wall and the ability to remove the crisper
pans is desired, an additional 18" (45.72 cm) of cabinet width
is required, so a total cabinet opening width of 54"
(137.16 cm)is recommended.
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong 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.
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., AC only, 15- or 20-amp fused, grounded
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. 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. See "Using the
Controls."
Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation.
Read and follow the instructions provided with any tools listed
here.
TOOLS NEEDED:
• Flat-blade screwdriver • 1/4"Nut driver
• 7/le"and 1/2"Open-end or two • 1/4"Drill bit
adjustable wrenches • Cordless drill
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 ¾e"
(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 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. Ifyou 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 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.
Read all directions before you begin.
IMPORTANT: Ifyou 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 1/2"(12.70 mm) to 11¼"(3.18 cm) vertical cold water
pipe near the refrigerator.
IMPORTANT:
4=
5=
• 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.
Determine the length of copper tubing you need. Measure
from the connection on the lower rear corner 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.
Using a cordless drill, drill a 1/4"(6.35 mm) 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"(6.35 mm)
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 the 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 the 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
Style 1

REMEMBER:
• Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the
first three batches of ice produced.
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 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.

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.
• Use a vacuum cleaner with asoft 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.
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,

the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. If the problem continues,
call an electrician.
Are controls on? Make sure the refrigerator controls are on.
See "Using the Controls."
New installation? Allow 24 hours following installation for the
refrigerator to cool completely.
NOTE: Adjusting the temperature controls to coldest setting
will not cool either compartment more quickly.
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 unit 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
•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 water melts during the
defrost cycle and 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 inthe correct
position.
The doors are difficult to open
Explosion Hazard
Use nonflammable cleaner.
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 lights do not work
•Is a light bulb loose in the socket or burned out? See
"Changing the Light Bulbs."
Is the dispenser light set to OFF? The dispenser light will
operate only when the levers are pressed. If you want the
dispenser light to stay on continuously, set the dispenser light
to ON, or NIGHT LIGHT or AUTO or HALF or DIM. See "Water
and Ice Dispensers."
Is the dispenser light set to NIGHT LIGHT or AUTO? If the
dispenser isset to the NIGHT LIGHT or AUTO mode, be sure
the dispenser light sensor is not blocked. See "Water and Ice
Dispensers."

ice if necessary.
Cut Hazard
Use a sturdy glass when dispensing ice.
Failure to do so can result in cuts.
Is the ice dispenser stalling while dispensing "crushed"
ice? Change the ice button from "crushed" to "cubed." If
cubed ice dispenses correctly, depress the button for
"crushed" ice and begin dispensing again.
Has the dispenser arm been held in too long? Ice will stop
dispensing when the arm is held in too long. Wait 3 minutes
for dispenser motor to reset before using again.

ReQna las herramientas y piezas necesarias antes de comenzar la
instalaci6n. Lea y siga las instrucciones provistas con cualquiera
de las herramientas enlistadas aqui.
HERRAMIENTAS NECESARIAS:
• Destornillador de hoja plana • Llave para tuercas de 1/4"
• Llaves de boca de 7/le"y 1/2" • Broca de 1/4"
o dos Ilaves ajustables • Taladro inalambrico
NOTA: El distribuidor de su refrigerador tiene un juego disponible
con una valvula de cierre tipo montura de 1/4"(6,35 mm), una
uni6n y tuberia de cobre. Antes de comprar, asegQrese que la
valvula tipo montura cumpla con los c6digos de plomeria de su
Iocalidad. No use una valvula perforadora o una valvula de
montura de 3_6" (4,76 mm) que reduce el flujo de agua y se
obstruye con mAs facilidad.
IM PORTANTE:
• Todas las instalaciones deben hacerse de acuerdo a los
requerimientos locales de plomeria.
• Use tuberias de cobre y revise si hay fugas. Instale tuberia de
cobre s61oen Areas donde la temperatura va a permanecer
por encima del punto de congelaci6n.
Presibn del agua
Se necesita un suministro de agua fria con presi6n de agua entre
30 y 120 Ibs/pulg 2(207 y 827 kPa) para hacer funcionar el
despachador de agua y la fabrica de hielo. Si usted tiene
preguntas acerca de la presi6n de agua, Ilame a un plomero
competente autorizado.
Suministro de agua de 6smosis inversa
IMPORTANTE: La presi6n del suministro de agua que sale de un
sistema de 6smosis inversa y va a la valvula de entrada de agua
del refrigerador necesitarA ser entre 30 y 120 Ibs/pulg 2(207 y
827 kPa).
Si se conecta un sistema de filtraci6n de agua de 6smosis inversa
al suministro de agua fria, la presi6n de agua al sistema de
6smosis inversa necesitarA ser de un minimo de 40 a 60 Ibs/pulg 2
(276 a 414 kPa).
Si la presi6n del agua del sistema de 6smosis inversa es menor de
40 a 60 Ibs/pulg 2 (276 a 414 kPa):
• Fijese si el filtro de sedimentos en el sistema de 6smosis
inversa esta bloqueado y reemplacelo si fuera necesario.
Deje que se vuelva a Ilenar el tanque de almacenaje del
sistema de 6smosis inversa despu6s del uso intenso.
Si su refrigerador tiene un filtro de agua, se podra reducir la
presi6n aQn mas si se usa en conjunto con un sistema de
6smosis inversa. Quite el filtro de agua. Vea "Sistema de
filtraci6n de agua".
Si tiene preguntas acerca de la presi6n de agua, Ilame a un
plomero competente autorizado.
Lea todas las instrucciones antes de comenzar.
IMPORTANTE: Si enciende el refrigerador antes de conectar la
linea del agua, APAGUE la fabrica de hielo.
Conexibn a la linea de agua
1. Desenchufe el refrigerador o desconecte el suministro de
energia.
2. CIERRE el suministro principal de agua. ABRA la Ilave de agua
mas cercana el tiempo suficiente para que la tuberia de agua
se vacie totalmente.
3. Busque una tuberia vertical de agua fria de 1/2"a 11¼"
(12,70 mm a 3,18 cm) cercana al refrigerador.
IM PORTANTE:
AsegQrese de que sea una tuberia de agua fria.
Una tuberia horizontal funcionara, pero taladre por el lado
superior de la tuberia, no por debajo. Esto ayudara a
mantener el agua alejada del taladro y evitarA que se junte
sedimento normal en la valvula.
4= Para determinar la Iongitud de la tuberia de cobre que va a
necesitar, mida desde la conexi6n de la parte trasera inferior
del refrigerador hasta la tuberia de agua. Agregue 7 pies
(2,1 m) para permitir la limpieza. Use tuberia de cobre de 1/4"
(6,35 mm) de diametro externo. AsegQrese que ambos
extremos de la tuberia de cobre esten cortados rectos.
