Important Safety
Instructions Read all instructions before using this refrigerator.
For Your Safety
Donotstore or use gasoline or otherflammablevaporsand liquids in the vicinity of
thisoranyotherappliance.Readproductlabelsforflammabilityandotherwarnings.
• Destroy carton, plastic bags, and any exterior wrapping material immediately
after the refrigerator is unpacked. Children should never use these items for
play. Cartons covered with rugs, bedspreads, plastic sheets or stretch wrap
may become airtight chambers and can quickly cause suffocation.
• Remove all staples from the carton. Staples can cause severe cuts and destroy
finishes if they come in contact with other appliances or furniture.
• An empty, discarded ice box, refrigerator or freezer is a very dangerous
attraction to children. Remove the door of any appliance that is not in use,
even if it is being discarded.
•The refrigerator must be plugged into its own 115 Volt, 60 Hz, AC only
electrical outlet. The power cord of the appliance is equipped with a three-
prong grounding plug for your protection against shock hazards. It must be
plugged directly into a properly grounded three-prong receptacle. The recep-
tacle must be installed in accordance with local codes and ordinances. Consult
a qualified electrician.
• If voltage varies by 10 percent or more, performance of your refrigerator may
be affected. Operating the refrigerator with insufficient power can damage
the compressor. Such damage is not covered under your warranty. If you
suspect your voltage is high or low, consult your power company for testing.
• To prevent the refrigerator from being turned off accidentally, do not plug
the unit into an outlet controlled by a wall switch or pull cord. Do Not Use
An Extension Cord Or An Adapter Plug.
• Do not pinch, knot, or bend the power cord in any manner.
• Never unplug the refrigerator by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the
plug firmly and pull straight out from the receptacle.
• To avoid electrical shock, unplug the refrigerator before cleaning and before
replacing a light bulb. NOTE: Turning the control to OFF turns off the
compressor, but does not disconnect power to the light bulb or other electrical
components.
• Do not operate the refrigerator in the presence of explosive fumes.
• If the refrigerator has an automatic ice maker, avoid contact with any moving
parts.
Child Safety
These guidelines must be followed to ensure that safety mechanisms in
the design of this refrigerator will operate properly.
Electrical Information
Other Precautions
Proper Disposal of Your
Refrigerator/Freezer
Risk of child entrapment.
Child entrapment and suffocation are
not problems of the past. Junked or
abandoned refrigerators are still
dangerous - even if they will sit for
"justafewdays." Ifyouaregettingrid
of your old refrigerator, please follow
instructions below to help prevent
accidents.
BEFORE YOU THROW
AWAY YOUR OLD
REFRIGERATOR OR
FREEZER:
• Take off doors.
• Leave shelves in
place, so children
may not easily
climb inside.
Avoid fire hazard or
electric shock. Do not use an extension
cord or an adapter plug. Do not remove
any prong from the power cord.

4
First Steps Before starting the refrigerator, follow these important first steps:
Location
• Choose a place that is near a grounded electrical outlet. DO NOT use an
extension cord or an adapter plug.
• If possible, place the refrigerator out of direct sunlight and away from the
range, dishwasher or other heat sources.
• The refrigerator must be installed on a floor that is level and strong enough to
support a fully loaded refrigerator.
• Consider water supply availability for the automatic ice maker.
Installation
• Do not install the refrigerator where the temperature will drop below 60°F
(15°C) or rise above 110°F (43°C). The compressor will not be able to
maintain proper temperatures.
• In a recessed installation, allow an extra 1/2 inch (10-15 mm) on each side for
ease of installation.
• If the hinge side of the unit will be placed against a wall, allow a 1 3/4 inch
(44 mm) space between the wall and the refrigerator to permit proper door
swing.
Door Opening
For best use of the drawers and freezer basket, the refrigerator should be in a
positionwhereboththe refrigerator and freezer doors can beopened about135°.
Leveling
• The refrigerator must be leveled with all bottom corners resting firmly on a
solid floor. Adjust front rollers to level cabinet both front-to-rear and
side-to-side. Keep the cabinet as low as possible for stability. Never adjust
cabinet rollers so the front is lower than the rear.
•To adjust the front rollers: Open the refrigerator and freezer doors. Remove
the toe grille by pulling it straight out. Adjust the rollers by turning each
rolleradjusting bolt with an adjustable wrench, a socket wrench or a nutdriver
until the refrigerator is level and stable. The rear rollers are not adjustable.
• Check both doors to be sure seals touch cabinet evenly on all four sides.
• If the freezer door is higher than the refrigerator door, raise the right corner
and/or lower the left corner until the doors align across the top of the cabinet.
• If the refrigerator door is higher than the freezer door, raise the left corner
and/or lower the right corner until the doors align across the top of the cabinet.
•To replace the toe grille: Line up clips with holes and push grille straight on.
Cleaning
• Wash the inside, all removable parts and the outside with mild detergent and
warm water. Wipe dry. Do Not Use Harsh Cleaners On These Surfaces.
• Do not use razor blades or other sharp instruments which can scratch the
appliance surface, when removing adhesive labels. Any glue left from the
tape or energy label can be removed with a mixture of warm water and mild
detergent, or, touch the residue with the sticky side of tape already removed.
•Do Not Remove The Serial Plate.

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
waterthatis not softened. Chemicals from amalfunctioningsoftenercan damage
theice maker. If the icemaker is connectedtosoft water,ensurethat thesoftener
is maintained and working properly.
Theice maker requires a1/4inch (6.4 mm) copperwater supply line (withshutoff)
fromyourhousehold water system. Allow enough tubingbehindyourrefrigerator
to permit moving out to clean floor.
Awater line kit is availablethroughyour dealer at extracharge.This kit includes 1/
4 inch diameter copper tubing, plus parts to connect to your cold water line. You
willneed to purchase a1/4inch brass compression nutand ferrule from yourlocal
hardwareorplumbing store.
1. TurnONwater supply and flush outcoppertubing.Turnoffwater supply.
2. Unplugrefrigerator.
3. InstallWATERSUPPLYLINE asfollows (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, tighten finger tight plus 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
locationshown(Figure3).
5. Coilwater supply tubingas shown (figure3).
NOTE: To prevent vibrationnoiseand wear,leave aspacebetweenall
tubingand other surfaces.
6. Turn on water supply and check all connections for leaks (figure 3).
7. Plugrefrigerator cord into walloutlet.
8. Tobegin ice production, lower theWireSignalArm to the“down”or “ON”
position(Figure4).
IMPORTANT
Iceproductionwill begin when freezerreaches normaloperatingtemperature. 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
madeduring the first 24 hours.Afterinstallation, if you wishtoshut the ice maker
off, lift the Wire Signal Arm until it clicks and locks in the “UP” position.

• Locate the refrigerator in the coolest part of the room, out of direct sunlight
and 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, a section of cabinetry or an added layer of insulation between
the two appliances 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 refrigerator to run longer and use more energy. Shelves should not 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.
• Cover foods and wipe containers dry before placing them in the refrigerator.
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 thefreezercontrolis turnedtoacolder setting, therefrigeratorcontrol
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.

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-
ment by sliding the Chilled Air Control knob within the COLDEST orCOLD 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
following label directions. Then rinse with a solution of baking soda and water.
Rinse with clear water and dry.

The ice and water dispenser on the freezer door conveniently dispenses chilled
water, and ice cubes (some models). To operate the dispenser, slide the knob to

Do not pour water or excess cubes into this area because there is no drain.
Light
Thedispenser has a lightwhichcanbeturnedonand off by slidingtheknobtothe
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
Thewatertank is located behind the drawersintherefrigerator compartment and
holds about 48 ounces (1.5 liters) of water. As the water is dispensed, the tank is
automatically refilled. For proper operation of the 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. This will take about
1½ minutes. Then, draw and discard 7 more glasses to be sure that the tank and
plumbing connections are rinsed of any impurities.
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.Aftertherefrigeratoris installedproperlyand hascooledfor several
hours,theicemakercanbeginmakingice.Tobeginiceproduction,lowerthewire
signal arm to the "down" or ON position. As cubes are made, they are stored in
the storage bin. Although it may take 1 or 2 days to fill the bin, 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 the ice maker is connected to soft water, ensure the softener is maintained and
working properly.
To stop the ice maker, lift the wire signal arm until it clicks and locks in the "up"
or OFF position.

Ice Dispenser Tips
1. Ice cubes stored too long may develop an odd flavor. Empty the container and
return it to the proper position. The ice maker will then produce more ice.
2. Occasionally shake the container to keep ice separated.
3. If the dispensing bar is pushed in for more than 4 minutes, the dispenser
motor may overload and stop. The overload protector will reset
automatically after 3 or 4 minutes. If a large quantity of ice is needed at
one time, it is best to remove cubes directly from the ice storage bin.
4. Certain sounds are normal when the ice maker is operating. They are:
• Motor operation
• Ice being loosened from the tray
• Ice dropping into the storage bin
• Running water
• Water valve opening or closing
For more information on these operations, see "Normal Operating Sounds."
5. Stop the ice maker when cleaning the freezer or for long vacations.
6. If the ice maker is to be turned off for a long period of time, turn the
water supply valve to the closed 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 with mild detergent. Do not submerge the bin while cleaning. Rinse with
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 "down" or ON position and the ice maker will resume production.
IMPORTANT: When removing or replacing the ice bin, do not rotate the auger
in the ice bin. If the auger is accidentally turned, you must realign the auger by
turning it in 90° turns until the ice bin fits into place with the drive mechanism.
For further instruction, see the label on the ice bucket.
Remove and empty the ice storage bin if:
1. An extended power failure (one hour or longer) causes ice cubes in the ice
storage bin to melt and freeze together and jam the dispenser mechanism.
2. The ice dispenser is not used frequently. Ice cubes will freeze together in the
bin and jam the dispenser mechanism. Remove the ice storage bin and shake
to loosen the cubes.
NEVER use an ice pick or similar sharp instrument to break up the ice. This could
damage the ice storage bin and dispenser mechanism.
Do not use the ice
chute as a handle when removing
or replacing the ice storage bin.
Surfaces there may be sharp.
