REFRIGERATOR SAFETY

Your safety and the safety of others are very important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety

messages.

This is the safety alert symbol.

This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.

All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word "DANGER" or "WARNING."

These words mean:

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately

follow instructions.

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow

instructions.

All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can

happen if the instructions are not followed.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury when using your refrigerator, follow these basic precautions:

• Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

• Do not remove ground prong.

• Do not use an adapter.

[] Do not use an extension cord.

• Disconnect power before servicing.

• Replace all parts and panels before operating.

• Remove doors from your old refrigerator.

• Use nonflammable cleaner.

• Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline,

away from refrigerator.

• Use two or more people to move and install refrigerator.

• Disconnect power before installing ice maker (on ice maker

kit ready models only).

• Use a sturdy glass when dispensing ice (on some models).

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

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.

Before You Throw Away Your Old Refrigerator or Freezer:.

• Take off the doors.

• Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily

climb inside.

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." If you are getting rid of

your old refrigerator, please follow these instructions to help

prevent accidents.

BEFORE USE

Remove the Packaging

• If the ice storage bin is located on the door, remove the

temporary shield from underneath the ice storage bin. See

"Ice Maker and Storage Bin."

Remove tape and glue residue from surfaces before turning

on the refrigerator. Rub a small amount of liquid dish soap

over the adhesive with your fingers. Wipe with warm water

and dry.

Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, flammable

fluids, or abrasive cleaners to remove tape or glue. These

products can damage the surface of your refrigerator. For

more information, see "Refrigerator Safety."

• Dispose of/recycle all packaging materials.

Clean Before Using

After you remove all of the packaging materials, clean the inside

of your refrigerator before using it. See the cleaning instructions

in "Refrigerator Care."

important information to know about glass shelves

and covers:

Do not clean glass shelves or covers with warm water when

they are cold. Shelves and covers may break if exposed to

sudden temperature changes or impact, such as bumping.

For your protection, tempered glass is designed to shatter

into many small, pebble-size pieces. This is normal. Glass

shelves and covers are heavy. Use special care when

removing them to avoid impact from dropping.

REFRIGERATOR USE

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

Do not remove ground prong.

Do not use an adapter.

Do not use an extension cord.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,

fire, or electrical shock.

Explosion Hazard

Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as

gasoline, away from refrigerator.

Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

If you need to turn the power to your r÷frigerator On or Off, you

must remove the top grille assembly to access the power switch.

Turn the power to the refrigerator Off when clsaNng your

refrigerator or changing light bulbs.

IMPORTANT:BesurethepowerswitchissettotheOnposition

aftercleaningrefrigeratororchanginglightbulbs.

A. Power switch

Read all directions before you begin.

IMPORTANT:

• When your refrigerator was installed, the water connection

from the water source should have been connected to your

refrigerator. If your refrigerator is not connected to a water

source, see "Connect to Water Line" in the Installation

Instructions. If you have any questions about your water

connection, see "Troubleshooting" or call a licensed, qualified

plumber.

• If you turn the refrigerator on before the water line is

connected, turn the ice maker OFR See "Ice Maker and

Storage Bin."

• All installations must meet local plumbing code requirements.

Water Pressure

A cold water supply with water pressure between 30 and 120 psi

(207 and 827 kPa) is required to operate the water dispenser and

ice maker. If you have questions about your water pressure, see

"Troubleshooting" or call a licensed, qualified plumber.

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 psi (276 kPa).

If the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system is less than

40 psi (276 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 your refrigerator has a water filter, it may further reduce the

water pressure when used in conjunction with a reverse

osmosis system. Remove the water filter. See "Water

Filtration System."

If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed,

qualified plumber.

Please read before using the water system.

Immediately after installation, follow the steps below to make

sure that the water system is properly cleaned.

1. Open the freezer door and turn off the ice maker. For Style 1,

lift up the wire shutoff arm as shown. For Style 2, move the

switch to the OFF (right) setting as shown. The On/Off switch

is located on the top right side of the freezer compartment.

Style 1 - Non-Dispenser Models

Style 2 - Dispenser Models

NOTE: If your model has a base grille filter system, make sure the

base grille filter is properly installed and the cap is in the

horizontal position.

Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of

unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or

after the system.

Use a sturdy container to depress and hold the water

dispenser lever for 5 seconds, then release it for 5 seconds.

Repeat until water begins to flow. Once water begins to flow,

continue depressing and releasing the dispenser lever

(5 seconds on, 5 seconds off) for an additional 2 minutes.

This will flush air from the filter and water dispensing system.

Additional flushing may be required in some households.

NOTE: As air is cleared from the system, water may spurt out

of the dispenser.

Open the freezer door and turn on the ice maker. For Style 1,

lower the wire shutoff arm. For Style 2, move the switch to

the ON (left) position.

• Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice.

• Discard the first three batches of ice produced.

• Depending on your model, you may want to select the

maximum ice feature to increase the production of ice.

IMPORTANT:

• The refrigerator control adjusts the refrigerator compartment

temperature. The freezer control adjusts the freezer

compartment temperature.

• Wait 24 hours after you turn on the refrigerator before you put

food into it. If you add food before the refrigerator has cooled

completely, your food may spoil.

NOTE: Adjusting the refrigerator and freezer controls to a

lower (colder) setting will not cool the compartments any

faster.

• If the temperature is too warm or too cold in the refrigerator or

freezer, first check the air vents to be sure they are not

blocked before adjusting the controls.

• The preset settings should be correct for normal household

usage. The controls are set correctly when milk or juice is as

cold as you like and when ice cream is firm.

• The actual temperature may differ from the display when a

door is open for an extended period of time.

NOTE: The factory recommended set points are 0°F (-18°C) for

the freezer and 37°F (3°C) for the refrigerator.

Turning Refrigerator On and Viewing Set Points

• Press the Cooling (ON/OFF) touch pad.

COOLING

NOTE:

• After the refrigerator is turned on, the Over Temperature audio

alarm and indicator light may activate every 1_/2hours until

the refrigerator and freezer temperatures are below 48°F (9°C)

and 15°F (-9°C), respectively, or until the alarm is turned off.

To turn off the audio alarm and indicator light, see "Master

Alarm Reset."

The ON/OFF touch pad on the control panel shuts down

refrigerator functions such as cooling, lighting, fans and

compressors. To turn the power off completely, use the

power ON/OFF switch located behind the top grille. See

"Power On/Off Switch."

blocked, airflow will be obstructed and temperature and moisture

problems may occur.

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.

Adjusting Controls

NOTE: Wait at least 24 hours between adjustments. Recheck the

temperatures before other adjustments are made.

Frozen Food Storage Guide

Storage times will vary according to the quality and type of food,

the type of packaging or wrap used (should be 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.

Put no more unfrozen food into the freezer than will freeze within

24 hours (no more than 2 to 3 Ibs of food per cubic foot

[907 to 1,350 g per 28 L] of freezer space). Leave enough space

in the freezer for air to circulate around packages. Be sure to

leave enough room for the door to close tightly.

For more information on preparing food for freezing, check a

freezer guide or reliable cookbook.

The freezer basket can be used to store bags of frozen fruits and

vegetables that may slide off freezer shelves.

If the power will be out for 24 hours or less, keep the door or

doors closed (depending on your model) to help food stay cold

and frozen.

If the power will be out for more than 24 hours, do one of the

following:

• Remove all frozen food and store it in a frozen food locker.

• Place 2 Ibs (907 g) of dry ice in the freezer for every cubic foot

(28 L) of freezer space. This will keep the food frozen for 2 to

4 days.

• If neither a food locker nor dry ice is available, consume or

can perishable food at once.

REMEMBER: A full freezer stays cold longer than a partially filled

one. A freezer full of meat stays cold longer than a freezer full of

baked goods. If you see that food contains ice crystals, it may be

refrozen, although the quality and flavor may be affected. If the

condition of the food is poor, dispose of it.

Your refrigerator is equipped with the Holiday Mode feature,

which is designed for the traveler who wishes to turn off the lights

and ice maker. By selecting this feature, the temperature set

containers so that they fit more tightly and take up less

space.

Is the ice bin out of position? For models with an interior ice

bin, push the ice bin in all the way. If the ice bin does not go in

all the way, it may not be put in straight. Pull it out and try

again. For models with an ice bin located on the freezer door,

the bin should sit level. To remove the bin, press the release

button on the right side of the bin and lift straight up. Replace

the bin in the door making sure it is properly aligned and

snapped securely into place. See "Ice Maker and Storage

Bin."

Are the pans, shelves, bins, or baskets out of position?

Put the crisper cover and all pans, shelves, bins, and baskets

back into their correct positions. See "Crisper Drawers and

Covers" for more information.

• Does the refrigerator wobble or seem unstable? Level the

refrigerator. See "Adjust Doors" and "Level Refrigerator" in

the Installation Instructions.

The doors are difficult to open

Explosion Hazard

Use nonflammable cleaner.

Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

Are the gaskets dirty or sticky? Clean gaskets according to the

directions in "Cleaning."
