The฀quality฀of฀your฀ice฀will฀be฀only฀as฀good฀as฀the฀quality฀of฀the฀

water฀supplied฀to฀your฀ice฀maker.฀Avoid฀connecting฀the฀ice฀

maker฀to฀a฀softened฀water฀supply.฀Water฀softener฀chemicals฀

(such฀as฀salt)฀can฀damage฀parts฀of฀the฀ice฀maker฀and฀lead฀to฀

poor฀quality฀ice.฀If฀a฀softened฀water฀supply฀cannot฀be฀avoided,฀

make฀sure฀the฀water฀softener฀is฀operating฀properly฀and฀is฀well฀

maintained.

Do฀not฀use฀anything฀sharp฀to฀break฀up฀the฀ice฀in฀the฀bin.฀This฀

can฀cause฀damage฀to฀the฀ice฀storage฀bin฀and฀the฀dispenser฀

mechanism.

Do฀not฀store฀anything฀on฀top฀of฀or฀in฀the฀ice฀maker฀or฀ice฀

storage฀bin.฀

REFRIGERATOR CARE

Cleaning

Both฀the฀refrigerator฀and฀freezer฀sections฀defrost฀automatically.฀

However,฀clean฀both฀sections฀about฀once฀a฀month฀to฀avoid฀

buildup฀of฀odors.฀Wipe฀up฀spills฀immediately.

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.

For฀stainless฀steel฀models,฀stainless฀steel฀is฀corrosion-

resistant฀and฀not฀corrosion-proof.฀To฀help฀avoid฀corrosion฀of฀

your฀stainless฀steel,฀keep฀your฀surfaces฀clean฀by฀using฀the฀

following฀cleaning฀instructions.

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.

1.Unplug฀refrigerator฀or฀disconnect฀power.

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.

4.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.

in dry ice.

3. Empty the ice bin.

4. Turn off the Temperature controls. See “Using the Controls.”

5. Unplug refrigerator.

6. Clean, wipe, and dry thoroughly.

7. Take out all removable parts, wrap them well, and tape them

together so they don’t shift and rattle during the move.

8. Depending on the model, raise the front of the refrigerator so it

rolls more easily OR raise the leveling screws so they don't

scrape the floor. See “Adjust the Door(s)” or “Door Closing

and Door Alignment.”

. Tape the doors closed and tape the power cord to the back of

the refrigerator.

When you get to your new home, put everything back and refer to

the “Installation Instructions” section for preparation instructions.

Also, if your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker, remember to

reconnect the water supply to the refrigerator.

NOTE: Applies to some models.

IMPORTANT: The light bulbs in both the refrigerator and freezer

compartments of your new refrigerator use LED technology. If the

lights do not illuminate when the refrigerator and/or freezer door is

opened, call for assistance or service.

1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

2. Remove the light bulb and replace it with an appliance bulb

Refrigerator Operation

The refrigerator will not operate

Power cord unplugged? Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

Is outlet working? Plug in a lamp to see if the outlet is

working.

Household fuse blown or circuit breaker tripped? Replace

the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. If the problem continues,

call an electrician.

Controls on? Make sure the refrigerator control is ON. See

“Using the Controls.”

New installation? Allow 24 hours following installation for the

refrigerator to cool completely.

NOTE: Adjusting the temperature controls to coldest setting

will not cool the refrigerator more quickly.

The lights do not work

Light bulb burned out? Replace light bulb. See “Changing the

Light Bulb.”

The motor seems to run too much

Your new refrigerator may run longer than your old one due to its

high-efficiency compressor and fans. The unit may run even

longer if the room is warm, a large food load is added, the door is

opened often, or if the door has been left open.

The refrigerator seems noisy

Refrigerator noise has been reduced over the years. Due to this

reduction, you may hear intermittent noises from your new

refrigerator that you did not notice from your old model. Below are

listed some normal sounds with explanations.

Buzzing - heard when the water valve opens to fill the ice

maker

Pulsating - fans/compressor adjusting to optimize

performance

Hissing/Rattling - flow of refrigerant, movement of water

lines, or from items placed on top of the refrigerator

Sizzling/Gurgling - water dripping on the heater during

Defrost cycle

Popping - contraction/expansion of inside walls, especially

during initial cooldown

Water running/dripping - may be heard when ice melts

during defrosting and water runs into the drain pan

Creaking/Cracking - occurs as ice is being ejected from the

ice maker mold

The doors will not close completely or they pop open

Door blocked open? Move food packages away from door.

Bin or shelf in the way? Push bin or shelf back in the correct

position.

Crisper cover in the way? Make sure the crisper cover is fully

pushed in so that the back rests on the supports.

Refrigerator not tilted toward the rear? So the doors will

close easier, raise the front of the refrigerator so that it tilts

slightly downward toward the rear. See “Adjust the Doors.”

Door closed too quickly? Close the door slowly and firmly to

keep the door from popping open.

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.
