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 you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, qualified plumber.

Install Freezer Door

• Place washer on the upper hinge pin of the center hinge.
• Place the freezer door on the upper hinge pin of the center hinge.
• Insert the top hinge pin into the drilled hole in the top of the freezer door. Do not tighten the screws completely
• Align the doors so that the bottom of the freezer door aligns evenly with the top of the refrigerator door. Tighten all screws.

NOTE: The distance between the doors should be approximately 3⁄4" (19 mm).

Turning the Ice Maker On/Off

• To turn ON the ice maker, simply lower the wire shutoff arm.
• To manually turn OFF the ice maker, lift the wire shutoff arm to the OFF (arm up) position and listen for the click.
• NOTE: Your ice maker has an automatic shutoff. As ice is made, the ice cubes will fill the ice storage bin and the ice cubes will raise the wire shutoff arm to the OFF (arm up) position. Do not force the wire shutoff arm up or down.

Ice Storage Bin

• Wash the ice storage bin with mild soap and warm water.
• Slide the ice storage bin under the ice maker, and push it toward the back as far as it will go.
• Lower the arm on the ice maker to the “ON” position.

NOTE: It usually takes approximately 24 hours for the ice maker to begin producing ice. You may notice the ice has an “off-taste.” If so, discard the first three batches of ice produced. After that the “off-taste” should be gone.

To Clean Your Refrigerator:

NOTE: Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners such as window sprays, scouring cleansers, flammable fluids, muriatic acid, cleaning waxes, concentrated detergents, bleaches or cleansers containing petroleum products on exterior surfaces (doors and cabinet), plastic parts, interior and door liners or gaskets. Do not use paper towels, scouring pads, or other harsh cleaning tools.

• Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
• Hand wash, rinse, and dry removable parts and interior surfaces thoroughly. Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water.
• Clean the exterior surfaces. Painted metal: Wash painted metal exteriors with a clean, soft cloth or sponge and a mild detergent in warm water. Rinse surfaces with clean, warm water and dry immediately to avoid water spots. Stainless steel: Wash stainless steel surfaces with a clean, soft cloth or sponge and a mild detergent in warm water. Rinse surfaces with clean, warm water and dry immediately to avoid water spots. NOTE: When cleaning stainless steel, always wipe in the direction of the grain to avoid cross-grain scratching.
• 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.
• Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.
