4 Safety
• The refrigerator must be plugged
into its own dedicated 115 Volt, 60
Hz., AC-only electric outlet. The
power cord of the appliance is equipped
with a three-prong grounding plug for
your protection against electrical shock
hazards. It must be plugged directly
into a properly grounded three-prong
receptacle. The receptacle must be
installed in accordance with local codes
and ordinances. Consult a qualified
electrician. Do not use an extension
cord or adapter plug.
• If the power cord is damaged, it should
be replaced by the manufacturer, service
technician or a qualified person to
prevent any risk.
• Never unplug the refrigerator by pulling
on the power cord. Always grip the
plug firmly, and pull straight out from
the receptacle to prevent damaging the
power cord.
• Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning
and before replacing a LED light to avoid
electrical shock.
• Performance may be affected if
the voltage varies by 10% or more.
Operating the refrigerator with insufficient
power can damage the compressor.
Such damage is not covered under your
warranty.
• Do not plug the unit into an outlet
controlled by a wall switch or pull cord
to prevent the refrigerator from being
turned off accidentally.
• Avoid connecting refrigerator to a
Ground Fault Interrupter (GFI) circuit.

Installation
Your refrigerator should be positioned
to allow easy access to a counter when
removing food. For best use of drawers and
freezer baskets, the refrigerator should be
in a position where both the refrigerator and
freezer doors can be fully opened.
Guidelines for final positioning of your
refrigerator:
• All four corners of the cabinet must rest
firmly on the floor.
• The cabinet should be level at the front
and rear.
• The sides should tilt ¼ inch (6 mm) from
front to back (to ensure that doors close
and seal properly).
• Doors should align with each other and
be level.
All of these conditions can be met by
raising or lowering the adjustable front
rollers.
To level the cabinet using the front rollers:
1 Open both doors and remove the toe
grille (see “Toe Grille Installation and
Removal” in the “Installation” section).
2 Close the doors and use a flat-blade
screwdriver or ⅜ inch socket wrench to
raise or lower the front rollers.
3 Ensure both doors are bind-free with
their seals touching the cabinet on all
four sides.
NOTE
The refrigerator doors are designed to shut
by themselves within a 20 degree opening.
4 After leveling, verify door stop contacts
lower hinge and top of door does
not contact upper hinge through full
movement of door (from fully closed to
fully open).
5 Reinstall set screw, locking the door
height.

codes.
CAUTION
To Avoid Property Damage:
• Copper or Stainless Steel braided
tubing is recommended for the
water supply line. Water supply
tubing made of ¼ inch plastic is
not recommended to be used.
Plastic tubing greatly increases the
potential for water leaks, and the
manufacturer will not be responsible
for any damage if plastic tubing is
used for the supply line.
• DO NOT install water supply tubing
in areas where temperatures fall
below freezing.
• Do not reuse compression fitting or
use thread seal tape.
• Chemicals from a malfunctioning
softener can damage the ice maker.
If the ice maker is connected to soft

28 Automatic Ice & Water Maker/Dispenser
Priming the water supply
system
Your refrigerator’s water supply system
includes several tubing lines, an advanced
water filter, a distribution valve bank, and a
reserve tank to ensure ample supply to the ice
and water dispenser at all times. This system
needs to be completely filled with water when
first connected to an external supply line.
To prime the water supply system:
1 Begin filling the tank by pressing and
holding a drinking glass against the
water dispenser paddle.
2 Keep the glass in this position until water
comes out of the dispenser. It may take
about 1½ minutes.
3 Continue dispensing water for about
three minutes to flush the system and
plumbing connections of any impurities
(stopping to empty the glass as
necessary).
Ice maker operation & care
The ice maker, ice bin, and dispenser feeding
mechanism are located in the top of the
freezer compartment. After the refrigerator is
installed properly and has cooled for several
hours, the ice maker can produce ice within
24 hours. It can completely fill an ice bin in
about two days.
The ice maker produces four to six pounds
of ice every 24 hours depending on usage
conditions. Ice is produced at a rate of eight
cubes every 75 to 90 minutes.
Using the ice maker after installation
Before making ice for the first time, be sure
to prime the water supply system. Air in new
plumbing lines can result in two or three
empty ice maker cycles. Furthermore, if the
system is not flushed, the first ice cubes may
be discolored or have an odd flavor.
Wire
Signal Arm
Off On
IMPORTANT
Your ice maker is turned on at the factory
so it can work as soon as you install your
refrigerator. If you cannot connect a water
supply, turn the ice maker’s On/Off switch
to Off. Otherwise, the ice maker’s fill valve
may make a loud chattering noise when it
attempts to operate without water.
CAUTION
For proper dispenser operation,
recommended water supply pressure
should fall between 30 psi and 100 psi.
Excessive pressure may cause water
filter to malfunction.
NOTE
The ice maker also has a built-in wire
signal arm, which automatically stops ice
production when the ice bin is full. This
signal arm should not be used to manually
stop the ice maker.
NOTE
The water dispenser has a built-in device
that shuts off the water flow after three
minutes of continuous use. To reset this
shutoff device, simply release the dispenser
paddle.
Turning the ice maker on and off
Ice production is controlled by the ice maker’s
On/Off power switch. To gain access to
the ice maker, pull the extra shelf out (some
models). Press the switch to the “O” position
to turn it Off and press to the “I” position to
turn it On.
29
IMPORTANT
Small ice cubes or ice chips jamming in
the ice maker may be a sign that your
water filter needs changing. If you have
a side mounted ice maker you may also
experience hollow cubes -- partially frozen
cubes with water inside. When these cubes
are harvested they break open and spill
water over the other ice cubes in the ice
bin, forming a solid mass of ice. As the
water filter nears the end of its useful life
and becomes clogged with particles, less
water is delivered to the ice maker during
each cycle. The ice maker can’t fill every
cube in the ice maker mold, leading to
small cubes or chips that can get caught
between the ice ejector blades and the
stripper. Remember, if your ice maker is
jamming with small ice cubes or it’s been
six months or longer since you last changed
your water filter -- replace the water filter
with a new one. Poor quality household
water may require the filter to be changed
more frequently.
Automatic Ice & Water Maker/Dispenser
Ice maker/dispenser tips
• Ice cubes stored too long may develop
an odd flavor. Empty the ice bin as
explained below.
• Occasionally shake the ice bin to keep
ice separated.
• If your refrigerator is not connected to
a water supply or the water supply is
turned off, turn off the ice maker by
pressing the On/Off switch.
• If you need a large quantity of ice at one
time, it is best to get cubes directly from
the ice bin.
• The following sounds are normal when
the ice maker is operating:
- Motor running
- Ice dropping into ice bin
- Water valve opening or closing
- Ice loosening from tray
- Running water
• When dispensing ice, you will hear a
snapping or clicking sound when the ice
chute opens and closes.
• Turn off the ice maker when cleaning the
freezer and during vacations.
- If you turn off the ice maker for a
long period of time, you should also
turn off the water supply valve.
• To avoid splashing, dispense ice into
your container before adding liquids.
• It is normal for ice to fill to the top of the
ice bin.
CAUTION
Chemicals from a malfunctioning water
softener can damage the ice maker. If
the water supply to your refrigerator
is softened, be sure the softener is
maintained to work properly.

30 Automatic Ice & Water Maker/Dispenser
IMPORTANT
When removing or replacing the ice bin,
DO NOT rotate the auger in the ice bin.
If the auger is accidentally rotated, you
must realign the auger by turning it in 90
degree turns (see below) until the ice bin
fits into place with the drive mechanism.
If the auger is not properly aligned when
replacing the ice bin, the refrigerator will
only dispense Crushed Ice. The freezer
door may also not close properly causing
warm air to leak into the freezer.
CAUTION
NEVER use an ice pick or similar sharp
instrument to break up the ice. This
could damage the ice storage bin and
dispenser mechanism.
Auger
Cleaning the ice maker
Clean the ice maker and ice bin at regular
intervals, particularly before you take a
vacation or move.
To clean the ice maker:
1 Turn off ice production by pressing the
ice maker’s Off/On switch.
2 Remove the ice bin by lifting up and out.
3 Empty and carefully clean the ice bin
with mild detergent. Rinse with clear
water. Do not use harsh or abrasive
cleaners.
4 Allow the ice bin to dry completely before
replacing in the freezer.
5 Remove ice chips and clean the ice bin
shelf and the freezer door chute.
6 Replace the ice bin. Press the ice
maker’s Off/On switch to resume ice
production.
Remove and empty the ice storage bin if:
• An extended power failure (one hour
or longer) causes ice cubes in the ice
storage bin to melt and freeze together,
jamming the dispenser mechanism.
• You do not use the ice dispenser
frequently. Ice cubes will freeze together
in the bin, jamming the dispenser
mechanism.
Remove the ice storage bin and shake to
loosen the cubes or clean as explained above.

Changing The Filter
Locating the filters
Your refrigerator is equipped with separate
water and air filtering systems. The water filter
system filters all dispensed drinking water, as
well as the water used to produce ice. The air
filter removes odors and impurities from the
refrigerator compartment.
Water filter
The water filter is located at the top right side
of the fresh food compartment.
Air filter
The air filter is located at the top of the fresh
food compartment next to the water filter.
Replacing the air filter
In general, you should change the air filter
every six months (the filter status light on
the Touch Panel prompts you to replace
the filter after six months) to ensure optimal
filtering of refrigerator odors. You may want
to adjust this time period depending on the
types and amounts of food you typically
store in your refrigerator. To replace your
PureAdvantage
TM

Ideas for storing foods
Fresh food storage
• Keep the fresh food compartment
between 34°F and 40°F with an
optimum temperature of 37°F.
• Avoid overcrowding the refrigerator
shelves, which reduces air circulation
and causes uneven cooling.
Fruits and vegetables
• Store fruits and vegetables in crisper
drawers, where trapped moisture helps
preserve food quality for longer time
periods.
Meat
• Wrap raw meat and poultry securely
so leakage and contamination of other
foods or surfaces does not occur.
• Use the meat keeper drawer for short-
term storage. Any meat to be kept
longer than two days should be frozen.
Frozen food storage
• Keep the freezer compartment at 0°F or
lower.
• A freezer operates most efficiently when
it is at least ⅔ full.
Packaging foods for freezing
• To minimize food dehydration and quality
deterioration, use aluminum foil, freezer
wrap, freezer bags or airtight containers.
Force as much air out of the packages
as possible and seal them tightly.
Trapped air can cause food to dry out,
change color, and develop an off-flavor
(freezer burn).
• Wrap fresh meats and poultry with
suitable freezer wrap prior to freezing.
• Do not refreeze meat that has completely
thawed.
Loading the freezer
• Avoid adding too much warm food to
the freezer at one time. This overloads
the freezer, slows the rate of freezing,
and can raise the temperature of frozen
foods.
• Leave a space between packages, so
cold air can circulate freely, allowing food
to freeze as quickly as possible.
Storing Food & Saving Energy
• Avoid storing hard-to-freeze foods on the
freezer door shelves. These foods are
best stored in the freezer interior where
the temperature varies less.
Ideas for saving energy
Installation
• 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 that the doors
close tightly.
Temperature settings
• Refer to the “Controls” section in this
Use & Care Guide for procedures on
temperature settings.
Food storage
• Avoid overcrowding the refrigerator or
blocking cold air vents. Doing so causes
the refrigerator to run longer and use
more energy.
• 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.
34 Normal Operating Sounds & Sights
Understanding the sounds you may hear
Your new, high-efficiency refrigerator may
introduce unfamiliar sounds. These sounds
normally indicate your refrigerator is operating
correctly. Some surfaces on floors, walls, and
kitchen cabinets may make these sounds
more noticeable.
Following is a list of major components in your
refrigerator and the sounds they can cause:
A Evaporator Refrigerant through the
evaporator may create a boiling or
gurgling sound.
B Evaporator fan You may hear air being
forced through the refrigerator by the
evaporator fan.
C Defrost heater During defrost cycles,
water dripping onto the defrost heater
may cause a hissing or sizzling sound.
After defrosting, a popping sound may
occur.
D Automatic ice maker When ice has
been produced, you will hear ice cubes
falling into the ice bin.
E Electronic control & automatic
defrost control These parts can
produce a snapping or clicking sound
when turning the cooling system on and
off.
F Condenser fan You may hear air being
forced through the condenser.
G Compressor Modern, high-efficiency
compressors run much faster than in the
past. The compressor may have a high-
pitched hum or pulsating sound.
H Water valve Makes a buzzing sound
each time it opens to fill the ice maker.
I Drain pan (not removable) You may hear
water dripping into the drain pan during
the defrost cycle.
J Condenser May create minimal sounds
from forced air.
K Motorized damper May produce a light
humming during operation.
L Ice dispensing paddle When
dispensing ice, you will hear a snapping
or clicking sound when the solenoid
opens and closes the ice chute.
NOTE
During automatic defrost cycle, a red
glow in the back wall vents of your freezer
compartment is normal.
NOTE
Energy efficient foam in your refrigerator is
not a sound insulator.
M Perfect Temp

35Care & Cleaning
Protecting your investment
Keeping your refrigerator clean maintains appearance and prevents odor build-up. Wipe up
any spills immediately and clean the freezer and fresh food compartments at least twice a year.
When cleaning, take the following precautions:
• Remove adhesive labels by hand. Do not use razor blades or other sharp instruments
which can scratch the appliance surface.
• Do not remove the serial plate.
Refer to the guide on the next page for details on caring and cleaning specific areas of your
refrigerator.
• Never use metallic scouring pads, brushes, abrasive cleaners or strong alkaline solutions
on any surface.
• Never use CHLORIDE or cleaners with bleach to clean stainless steel.
• Do not wash any removable parts in a dishwasher.
• Always unplug the electrical power cord from the wall outlet before cleaning.
IMPORTANT
If you store or move your refrigerator in freezing temperatures, be sure to completely drain the
water supply system. Failure to do so could result in water leaks when the refrigerator is put
back into service. Contact a service representative to perform this operation.
CAUTION
• Pull the refrigerator straight out to move it. Shifting it from side to side may damage
flooring. Be careful not to move the refrigerator beyond the plumbing connections.
• Damp objects stick to cold metal surfaces. Do not touch refrigerated surfaces with
wet or damp hands.
NOTE
If you set your temperature controls to turn off cooling, power to lights and other electrical
components will continue until you unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
NOTE
Do not use abrasive cleaners such as window sprays, scouring cleansers, flammable fluids,
cleaning waxes, concentrated detergents, bleaches or cleansers containing petroleum
products on plastic parts, interior doors, gaskets or cabinet liners. Do not use paper towels,
scouring pads, or other abrasive cleaning materials.
