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.
Important information to know about disposal of
refrigerants:
Dispose of refrigerator in accordance with Federal and Local
regulations. Refrigerants must be evacuated by a licensed,
EPA certified refrigerant technician in accordance with
established procedures.
REFRIGERATORUSE
On some models, your refrigerator's accessory packet includes
an air filter, which must be installed prior to use. On some models,
the air filter is already installed at the factory. Installing the Air Filter (on some models)
The filter should be installed behind the vented door, which is
located (depending on your model) along either the rear or left
interior wall near the top of the refrigerator compartment.
The air filter reduces the buildup of odors. This helps to maintain a
cleaner environment inside the refrigerator. 1. Remove the air filter from its packaging.
2. Lift open the vented door.
3. Snap the filter into place.

turned off, but the Door Ajar icon will still be displayed on the
dispenser control panel.
Dual Evaporator (on some models)
Some models come equipped with a dual sequential evaporation
system, which includes two separate evaporators for the
refrigerator and freezer compartments.
Dual evaporation results in higher humidity, which helps keep
foods in the refrigerator from spoiling as quickly and improves
food quality and freshness in the freezer due to decreased freezer
burn. In addition, the dual evaporation system helps keep food
smells in the refrigerator from transferring to ice in the freezer.
NOTE: The dual evaporation system is always activated when
your refrigerator is operating. You do not need to press any
buttons to turn it on.
The control can be adjusted to properly chill meats or vegetables.
The air inside the pan is cooled to avoid "spot" freezing and can
be set to keep meats at the National Livestock and Meat Board
recommended storage temperatures of 28° to 32°F (-2° to 0°C).
To store meat:
Set the control to one of the three MEAT settings to store meat at
its optimal storage temperature.
To store vegetables:
Set the control to VEG to store vegetables at their optimal storage
temperatures.
NOTE: If food starts to freeze, move the control to the right (less
cold), toward the VEG setting. Remember to wait 24 hours
between adjustments.
You can control the amount of humidity in the moisture-sealed
crisper. Adjust the control to any setting between LOW and HIGH.
LOW (open) for best storage of fruits and vegetables with skins.
HIGH (closed) for best storage of fresh, leafy vegetables.
Cool air from the freezer is directed to the refrigerator door bin
directly beneath the vents.

The Water Dispenser
IMPORTANT:
• Dispense at least 1 qt (1 L) of water every week to maintain a
fresh supply.
• If the flow of water from the dispenser decreases, it could be
caused by low water pressure.
With the water filter removed, dispense 1 cup of water. If
1 cup of water is dispensed in 8 seconds or less, the
water pressure to the refrigerator meets the minimum
requirement.
If it takes longer than 8 seconds to dispense 1 cup of
water, the water pressure to the refrigerator is lower than
recommended. See "Water Supply Requirements" or
"Troubleshooting" for suggestions.
To Dispense Water:
1. Press a sturdy glass against the water dispenser pad.
2. Remove the glass to stop dispensing.
The Ice Dispenser
Ice dispenses from the ice maker storage bin in the freezer when
the dispenser pad is pressed. To turn off the ice maker, see "Ice
Maker and Storage Bin."
Your ice maker can produce both crushed and cubed ice. Before
dispensing ice, select which type of ice you prefer by pressing the
ICE TYPE button.
The display screen indicates which type of ice is selected.
CRUSHED CUBED
For crushed ice, cubes are crushed before being dispensed. This
may cause a slight delay when dispensing crushed ice. Noise
from the ice crusher is normal, and pieces of ice may vary in size.
When changing from crushed to cubed, a few ounces of crushed
ice will be dispensed along with the first cubes.
To Dispense Ice:
1. Make sure the desired type of ice is selected. To switch
between cubed and crushed, press ICE TYPE.
Cut Hazard
Use a sturdy glass when dispensing ice.
Failure to do so can result in cuts.

3.
Press a sturdy glass against the ice dispenser pad. Hold the
glass close to the dispenser opening so ice does not fall
outside of the glass.
IMPORTANT: You do not need to apply a lot of pressure to the
pad in order to activate the ice dispenser. Pressing hard will
not make the ice dispense faster or in greater quantities.
Remove the glass to stop dispensing.
NOTE: Ice may continue to dispense for several seconds after
removing the glass from the pad. The dispenser may continue
to make noise for afew seconds after dispensing.
The Dispenser Light

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.

REFRIGERATORCARE
Explosion Hazard
Use nonflammable cleaner.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
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,

Pour desactiver manuellement la caracteristique Fast Ice,
appuyer de nouveau sur FAST ICE ou ajuster le point de
reglage de temperature du congelateur. L'ic6ne Fast Ice
disparait Iorsque cette caracteristique est desactiv6e.
REMARQUE : Si I'on desire une production accrue de gla¢ons en
permanence, placer le point de reglage du congelateur &un
reglage inferieur. Le reglage du congelateur a une temperature
plus froide peut rendre certains aliments, comme la creme glacee,
plus durs.
Gestion de la temperature 6th Sense TM
La caracteristique 6th Sense TM aide &reguler la temperature &
I'interieur du refrigerateur. Si une grande quantite d'aliments
tiedes est placee dans le refrigerateur ou que de I'air tiede penetre
dans le refrig6rateur alors que la porte est maintenue ouverte, le
systeme 6th Sense TM est active pour retablir rapidement la
temperature a la valeur de reglage.

levaporateur double (sur certains modules)
Certains modeles sont equipes d'un double systeme
d'evaporation sequentiel, compose de deux evaporateurs
distincts pour les compartiments de refrigeration et de
congelation.
La double evaporation engendre un taux d'humidite superieur, qui
contribue a ralentir la deterioration des aliments dans le
refrigerateur eta ameliorer leur qualite et leur fraicheur dans le
congelateur en raison d'une brQlure de congelation moins vive.
En outre, le double systeme d'evaporation contribue a eviter que
les odeurs de nourriture presentes dans le refrigerateur ne se
transferent a la glace du congelateur.
REMARQUE :Le double systeme d'evaporation est toujours
active Iorsque le refrigerateur fonctionne. IIn'est pas necessaire
d'appuyer sur un quelconque bouton pour I'activer.
La commande peut _tre ajustee pour un refroidissement
approprie des viandes ou des legumes. L'air & I'interieur du
contenant est refroidi pour eviter les "petits espaces" de
congelation et peut _tre regle pour garder les viandes aux
temperatures de conservation de 28° &32°F (de -2° a 0°C)
recommandees par I'Office national du betail et des viandes.
Conservation de la viande :
Regler la commande sur I'un des trois reglages MEAT (viande)
pour conserver la viande a sa temperature de conservation
optimale.
Conservation des I_gumes :
Regler la commande &VEG (legumes) pour conserver les legumes
& leurs temperatures de conservation optimales.
REMARQUE :Si les aliments commencent & geler, deplacer la
commande vers la droite (moins froid) en I'orientant vers le
reglage VEG (legumes). Ne pas oublier d'attendre 24 heures entre
les ajustements.
On peut contr61er le degre d'humidite dans le bac & legumes
etanche. La commande peut _tre ajustee a n'importe quel reglage
entre LOW et HIGH.
LOW/bas (ouvert) pour une meilleure conservation des fruits et
legumes & pelures.
HIGH/haut (ferme) pour une meilleure conservation des legumes &
feuilles frais.

I'air du filtre et du systeme de distribution d'eau et prepare le filtre
&eau pour utilisation. Une vidange supplementaire peut _tre
necessaire dans certains domiciles. Pendant I'evacuation de I'air
du systeme, de I'eau peut gicler du distributeur.
REMARQUES :
•Le systeme de distribution ne fonctionne pas Iorsque la porte
du congelateur est ouverte.
•Accorder 24 heures pour que le refrigerateur se refroidisse et
refroidisse I'eau.
Accorder 24 heures pour produire la premiere quantite de
glagons. Jeter les trois premieres quantites de glagons
produites. Attendre 72 heures pour une production complete
de glagons.
Uecran d'affichage sur le tableau de commande du
distributeur s'eteint automatiquement et entre au mode

distribution n'ont pas ete utilises pendant au moins 2 minutes.
Le fait d'appuyer une fois sur un bouton de commande au
mode "veille" reactive uniquement I'ecran d'affichage, sans
modifier les reglages. Apres reactivation, n'importe quel
reglage peut alors _tre modifi& Si aucune modification n'est
apportee dans les 2 minutes qui suivent, I'affichage passe de
nouveau au mode "veille".
Le distributeur d'eau
IMPORTANT :
•Distribuer au moins 1 pte (1 L) d'eau chaque semaine pour
maintenir un approvisionnement en eau fraiche.
•Si le debit en provenance du distributeur diminue, cela peut
_tre dQ& une faible pression en eau.
Avec le filtre a eau retire, verser I'equivalent d'une (1)tasse
d'eau. Si I'equivalent d'une (1) tasse d'eau est distribu_ en
8 secondes ou moins, cela signifie que la pression en eau
alimentant le refrigerateur repond au critere minimal.
S'il faut plus de 8 secondes a la machine pour distribuer
I'equivalent d'une (1)tasse d'eau, cela signifie que la
pression en eau alimentant le refrigerateur est inferieure au
niveau recommand& Voir "Specifications de I'alimentation
en eau" ou "Depannage" pour des suggestions sur la
marche asuivre.
Distribution d'eau :
1. Appuyer un verre robuste contre la plaque du distributeur
d'eau.
2. Retirer le verre pour arr_ter la distribution.
Le distributeur de gla_ons
La glace tombe du bac d'entreposage de la machine &glagons
dans le congelateur Iorsqu'on appuie sur la plaque du distributeur.
Pour eteindre la machine a glagons, voir "Machine a glagons et
bac d'entreposage".
La machine & gla(_ons peut produire a la fois de la glace
concassee et des glagons. Avant toute distribution de glace,
selectionner le type de glace prefere avec le bouton ICE TYPE
(type de glace).
