WARNING

• Before replacing a burned-out light bulb, unplug

the refrigerator or turn off power at the circuit

breaker or fuse box in order to avoid contact with a

live wire filament. (A burned-out light bulb may

break when being replaced.)

NOTE: Some models have LED interior lighting

and service should be performed

by

a qualified

technician.

• When you are finished, reconnect the refrigerator to

the electrical source and reset the controls

(Thermostat, Refrigerator Control, and or Freezer

Control, depending on the model) to the desired

setting.

• This refrigerator must be properly installed in

accordance with the

Attention

Installer

Instructions

that were taped to the front of the

refrigerator.

• After your refrigerator is in operation, do not touch

the cold surfaces in the freezer compartment when

hands are damp or wet. Skin may adhere to the

extremely cold surfaces.

•

In

refrigerators with automatic icemakers, avoid

contact with the moving parts

of

the ejector

mechanism, or with the heating element that

releases the cubes. DO NOT place fingers or

hands on the automatic icemaking mechanism

while the refrigerator is plugged

in.

• DO NOT refreeze frozen foods which have thawed

completely. The United States Department of

Agriculture in Home and Garden Bulletin No. 69

says:

...

You

may safely refreeze frozen foods that have

thawed if they still contain ice crystals or if they are

still

cold-below

4•c.

. .. Thawed ground meats, poultry or fish that have

any off-odor or off-color should not be refrozen and

should not be eaten. Thawed ice cream should be

discarded. If the odor or color of any food is poor

or questionable, dispose of it. The food may

be

dangerous to eat.

Even partial thawing and refreezing reduces the

eating quality of foods, particularly fruits,

vegetables and prepared foods. The eating quality

of red meats is affected less than that of many

other foods. Use refrozen foods as soon as

possible to save as much of their quality as you

can.

ELECTRICAL

& GROUNDING

REQUIREMENTS

IMPORTANT:

Please

read

carefully.

TO

CONNECT

ELECTRICITY

A WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

FOR PERSONAL

SAFETY,

this appliance must be

properly grounded. Have the wall outlet

and

the circuit

checked

by

a qualified electrician

to

make

sure

the

outlet

is

properly grounded.

3-prong

grounding

type

wa

II

receptacle

3-prong

grounding

plug

Ensure

proper

ground exists

before

use.

RECOMMENDED

GROUNDING

METHOD

The

refrigerator should always be plugged into its own

individual properly grounded electrical outlet rated

for

115

Volts,

60Hz,

AC only, and fused

at

15

or

20

amperes.

This

provides the best performance

and

also prevents

overloading house wiring circuits which could cause a fire

hazard

from

overheated wires.

It

is

recommended

that

a

separate circuit serving

only this

appliance

be provided.

Use

a receptacle

that

cannot be turned

off

with a switch

or

pull chain. Do not

use

an extension cord.

Where a standard two-prong

wall outlet

is

encountered,

it

is

your personal responsibility

and

obligation

to

have

it

replaced

with

a properly grounded three-prong wall

outlet.

7

USE

OF

EXTENSION

CORDS

Because

of

potential

safety

hazards

under

certain

conditions,

the

use

of

an

extension cord is

not

recommended. However,

if

you still elect

to

use

an

extension cord,

it

is

absolutely necessary

that

it

be a UL-

Iisted {USA), 3-wire grounding

type

appliance extension

cord having a grounding

type

plug

and

outlet,

and

that

the electrical rating

of

the cord

be

15

amperes (minimum)

and

120 volts.

Use

of

an

extension cord

will

increase the clearance

needed

for

the

back

of

the refrigerator.

LEVELING

AND

DOOR

ALIGNMENT

Leveling

After installing, secure the stability

of

the product

with the

leveling legs.

Your refrigerator has two front leveling

legs-one

on

the right and one on the

left. Adjust legs

to

alter tilt

from front-to-back or side-to-side. If your refrigerator

seems unsteady or you want the doors

to

close

easier, adjust the refrigerator's tilt using the

instructions

below:

1. Plug the refrigerator's power cord into a 3-prong

grounded

outlet. Move the refrigerator into its final

position. Remove the base cover.

To

remove the base cover

1) Open the Freezer Drawer. (Drawer not shown

for

clarity.)

2) Once the drawer is open and there is sufficient

clearance, remove screws on the top

of

the

cover.

16

To replace base cover:

• Place

cover

into position and insert and tighten

the screws.

2. Turn the

leveling leg clockwise

to

raise that side

of

the refrigerator

or

counterclockwise

to

lower it.

It

may

take several turns

of

the

leveling leg to adjust

the

tilt

of

the refrigerator.

NOTE: Having someone push backward against

the top

of

the

refrigerator takes some weight off

the

leveling legs. This makes it easier to adjust the

legs.

3.

Open both doors again and check

to

make sure

that they

close easily.

If

not, tilt the refrigerator

slightly more to the rear

by

turning both leveling

legs clockwise. It

may take several more turns,

and you

should turn both leveling legs the

same

amount.

4.

Re-adjust

if

necessary.

5.

Replace

the

base cover.

NOTE: Your new refrigerator is uniquely designed

with

two

fresh food doors. Either

door

can be

opened

or

closed independently

of

one another.

You may have

to

exert slight pressure

on

doors to

get

them to close completely.

REFRIGERATOR

INSTALLATION

Use

the wrench (included with the

Use

& Care Guide) to

turn the nut in the door hinge

to

adjust the height.

To

the

right

to

raise

or

to

the left to lower the height.

The

right

refrigerator door does

not

have

an

adjustable

nut.

If

the space between

your

doors

is

uneven,

follow

the

instructions

below

to

align the

right

door:

1.

With

one hand, lift up both the inner and outer door

sections

of

the right door

to

raise them

at

the middle

hinge. (Opening the door may make lifting

it

easier)

2.

With

the other hand,

use

pliers

to

insert the snap

ring on

the middle hinge

of

the inner door section

as shown. Do not insert the ring

on

the hinge

of

the

outer door section.

3.

Insert additional snap rings until the right door

is

aligned.

(Two

snap rings are provided with the unit.)

Level

the

refrigerator

by

using an

11116

inch

(18mm) wrench

or

a flat blade screwdriver.

Turn the

leveling legs (counterclockwise) to raise

or

(clockwise) to lower the height of

the

front

of

the

refrigerator.

NOTE:

The

front

of

the refrigerator should be

slightly higher than the back.

USING

YOUR

REFRIGERATOR

SETTING

THE

CONTROLS

AIRFLOW

The

refrigerator control functions as the thermostat

for

the

entire

appliance

(refrigerator

and

freezer sections). The

colder

the setting, the longer the compressor

will

run

to

keep the temperature colder. The freezer control adjusts

the cold

air

flow

from

the freezer

to

the refrigerator.

Setting the freezer control

to

a lower temperature keeps

more cold

air

in the freezer compartment

to

make

it

colder.

Cold

air

circulates from the freezer

to

the fresh

food

section and

back

again

through

air

vents in the

wall

dividing the

two

sections.

Be

sure

not

to

block

vents while

packing your refrigerator. Doing so

will

restrict

airflow

and

may

cause the refrigerator temperature

to

become

too

warm

or

cause interior moisture buildup. (See

air

flow

diagram

below.)

Temperature

• The Refrigerator Temp Control

ranges

from 33°F

to

to

do

so

may

result

in

damage

or

personal injury.

The

icemaker

will

stop producing ice when the

in-door

Ice

bin

is

full.

If

you need more ice, empty the ice bin into the

extra ice bin in the freezer compartment. During

use,

the

ice can become uneven causing the icemaker to misread

the amount

of

ice cubes and stop producing ice. Shaking

the ice bin to level the ice within

it

can reduce this problem.

NOTE: Storing cans

or

other items in the ice

bin

will

damage

the icemaker.

Keep the

ice

compartment

door

closed

tightly

.

If

the

ice

compartment

door

Is

not closed tightly, the

cold

air

In the

ice bin

will

freeze food

in

the refrigerator compartment.

This

could also cause the icemaker

to

stop producing ice.

NOTE:

If

the

ON/OFF

switch on the icemaker is set

to

OFF

for

an

extended period

of

time,

it

is

recommended

to

empty

the ice bin.

for

details.

AUTOMATIC ICEMAKER

Ice is made in the automatic icemaker and sent to

the dispenser. The icemaker

will produce 70-21 0

cubes in a 24-hour period, depending on freezer

compartment temperature, room temperature,

number of door openings and other operating

conditions.

• It takes about

12

to 24 hours for a newly installed

refrigerator to make ice.

·lcemaking

stops when the ice storage bin is full.

·To

turn off the automatic icemaker, set the

icemaker switch to

OFF(O).

To

turn on the

automatic icemaker, set the switch to

ON(I).

·The

water pressure must be between 20 and

120psi on

models without a water filter and

between

40 and 120 psi on models with a water

filter to produce the normal amount and size

of

ice

cubes.

• Foreign substances or frost on the ice-detecting

sensor can interrupt ice production.

Make sure the sensor area is

clean

at

all times for

proper operation.

STORING FROZEN FOOD

NOTE: Check a freezer guide

or

a reliable cookbook

for

further information

about

preparing

food

for

freezing

or

food

storage times.

Freezing

Your freezer will not quick-freeze a large

quantity

of

food.

Do

not

put

more unfrozen

food

into the freezer

than will freeze within 24 hours (no more than 2

to

3

lbs.

of

food

per cubic

foot

of

freezer space). Leave

enough space in the freezer

for

air

to

circulate around

packages.

Be

careful

to

leave enough room

at

the

front

so

the

door

can close tightly.

Storage times

will

vary

according

to

the

quality

and

type

of

food,

the

type

of

packaging

or

wrap

used

(how

airtight

and

moisture-proof) and the storage

temperature. Ice crystals inside a sealed package are

normal.

This

simply means

that

moisture in the

food

and

air

inside the package have condensed, creating

ice crystals.

NOTE:

Allow

hot foods

to

cool

at

room temperature

for

30

minutes, then package and freeze. Cooling hot

foods before freezing saves energy •

Packaging

Successful freezing depends on correct packaging .

When

you close

and

seal the package,

it

must not

allow

air

or

moisture in

or

out.

If

it

does, you could

have

food

odor

and taste transfer throughout the

refrigerator

and

could also

dry

out

frozen food.

Packaging recommendations:

• Rigid plastic containers with

tight-fitting

lids

• Straight-sided

canning/freezing

jars

• Heavy-duty aluminum

foil

• Plastic-coated

paper

• Non-permeable plastic wraps

• Specified freezer-grade self-sealing plastic bags

Follow package

sure

both

ends

of

the tubing are cut square.

•

To

determine how much tubing you

need: measure the distance from the water

valve on the

back

of

the refrigerator

to

the water supply pipe.

Then,

add

8 feet (2.4 m}.

Be

sure

there

is

sufficient extra tubing

(about 8 feet [2.4 m]

coiled into 3 turns

of

about 10 in •

[25 em] diameter) to

allow

the refrigerator

to

move out

from the

wall

after

installation.

• Power

in. outer diameter

compression nuts

and

2 ferrules (sleeves)

to

connect the copper tubing

to

the shutoff valve

and

the

refrigerator water

valve.

•

If

your existing copper water

~~

line

has

a flared fitting

at

the

~

end, you will need an

adapter

(available

at

plumbing supply

stores)

to

connect the water line

to

the refrigerator OR you can

cut

off

the flared fitting with

a tube cutter and then

use

a

compression fitting.

• Shutoff

in.

at

the point

of

connection

to

the COLD

WATER

LINE.

Saddle-type shutoff valves

are included in many water

supply kits. Before purchasing,

make

sure

a saddle-type

valve complies

with your local

plumbing

codes.

NOTE: A Self Piercing Saddle Type

Water

Valve should

not

be

used.

WARNING
