Connect to Water Line

Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

Turn OFF main water supply. Turn ON nearest faucet long enough to clear line of water.

Locate a 1/2"(12.70 mm) to 11/4'' (3.18 cm) vertical cold water pipe near the refrigerator.

IMPORTANT:

Make sure it is a cold water pipe.

Horizontal pipe will work. but drill on the top side of the pipe. not the bottom. This will help keep water away from the drill and normal sediment from collecting in the valve.

Determine the length of copper tubing you need. Measure from the connection on the lower rear corner of the refrigerator to the water pipe. Add 7 ft (2.1 m) to allow for cleaning. Use 1/4"(6.35 mm) O.D. (outside diameter) copper tubing.

Be sure both ends of copper tubing are cut square.

Using a grounded drill. drill a 1/4"(6.35 mm) hole in the cold water pipe you have selected.

A. Cold water pipe E. Compression sleeve B. Pipe clamp F. Shutoff valve C. Copper tubing G. Packing nut D. Compression nut

Fasten shutoff valve to cold water pipe with pipe clamp. Be sure outlet end is solidly in the 1/4"(6.35 mm) drilled hole in the water pipe and that washer is under the pipe clamp. Tighten packing nut. Tighten the pipe clamp screws carefully and evenly so washer makes a watertight seal. Do not overtighten or you may crush the copper tubing.

Slip the compression sleeve and compression nut on the copper tubing as shown. Insert the end of the tubing into the outlet end squarely as far as it will go. Screw the compression nut onto the outlet end with an adjustable wrench.

Do not overtighten.

Place the free end of the tubing into a container or sink. and turn ON main water supply and flush out the tubing until water is clear. Turn OFF the shutoff valve on the water pipe. Coil the copper tubing.

Connect to Refrigerator

Style 1

Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

Remove the shipping tape from the gray. coiled water tubing on the rear of the refrigerator.

A 1/4"x 1/4"coupling is needed to order to connect the water tubing to an existing household water supply line. Thread the provided nut onto the coupling on the end of the copper tubing.

NOTE: Tighten the nut by hand. Then tighten it with a wrench two more turns. Do not overtighten.

REFRIGERATORUSE

For your convenience. your refrigerator controls are preset at the factory. When you first install your refrigerator. make sure that the controls are still preset. The Refrigerator Control and the Freezer Control should both be set to the "mid-settings."

Style

COLD

FREEZER

COLDER COLD

REFRRGERATOR

Style 2

IMPORTANT:

Your product will not cool when the REFRIGERATOR Control is set to OFR

The Refrigerator Control adjusts the refrigerator compartment temperature.

The Freezer Control adjusts the freezer compartment temperature.

Settings to the left of the mid setting make the temperature less cold. Settings to the right of the mid-setting make the temperature colder.

Wait 24 hours before you put food into the refrigerator.

If you add food before the refrigerator has cooled completely. your food may spoil.

Style 1 Turn the control to the right (clockwise) to make the compartment colder or to the left (counterclockwise) to make it less cold.

Style 2

Push in on the control and release it.

The control will pop out. Turn the control to the desired setting.

Push the control in to lock it into place.

NOTE: Adjusting the Refrigerator and Freezer Controls to a higher (colder) than recommended setting will not cool the compartments any faster.

Adjusting Controls

Give the refrigerator time to cool down completely before adding food. It is best to wait 24 hours before you put food into the refrigerator. The settings indicated in the previous section should be correct for normal household refrigerator usage. The controls are set correctly when milk or juice is as cold as you like and when ice cream is firm.

If you need to adjust temperatures in the refrigerator or freezer. use the settings listed in the chart below as a guide. Wait at least 24 hours between adjustments.

CONDITION/REASON: ADJUSTMENT:

REFRIGERATOR too warm REFRIGERATOR Control one setting higher

FREEZER too warm/too little ice FREEZER Control one setting higher

REFRIGERATOR too cold REFRIGERATOR Control one setting lower

FREEZER too cold FREEZER Control one setting lower

The control can be adjusted to properly chill meats or vegetables.

The air inside the pan is cooled to prevent "spot" freezing and can be set to keep meats at the National Livestock and Meat Board recommended storage temperatures of 28° to 32°F (-2 ° to 0°C).

The convertible vegetable/meat drawer control comes preset at the lowest meat setting.

To store meat:

Set the control to one of the three MEAT settings to store meat at its optimal storage temperature.

To store vegetables: Set the control to VEG to store vegetables at their optimal storage temperatures.

NOTE: If food starts to freeze. move the control to the left (less cold). Remember to wait 24 hours between adjustments.

You can control the amount of humidity in the moisture-sealed crisper. Adjust the control to any setting between LOW and HIGH.

LOW (open) for best storage of fruits and vegetables with skins.

HIGH (closed) for best storage of fresh. leafy vegetables.

Cool air from the freezer is directed to the refrigerator door bin directly beneath the vents.

NOTE: The dairy compartment and can rack are not chilled.

Chilled Door Bin Control

The chilled door bin control is located on the left-hand side of the refrigerator compartment.

A. Door Chill control

Turn the control clockwise (right) to reduce the flow of cold air to the bin and make it less cold.

Turn the control counterclockwise (left) to increase the flow of cold air to the bin and make it colder.

Turning the Ice Maker On/Off

The ON/OFF switch is located on the top right side of the freezer compartment.

To turn the ice maker on. slide the control to the ON (left) position.

To manually turn the ice maker off. slide the control to the OFF (right) position.

NOTE: Your ice maker has an automatic shutoff. The ice maker sensors will automatically stop ice production. but the control will remain in the ON (left) position.

REMEMBER: Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the first three batches of ice produced.

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 or bucket. This can cause damage to the ice container and the dispenser mechanism.

Do not store anything on top of or in the ice maker or storage bin.

Removing and Replacing Ice Storage Bin

Hold the base of the storage bin with both hands and press the release button to lift the storage bin up and out.

NOTE: It is not necessary to turn the ice maker control to the OFF (right) position when removing the storage bin. The sensor cover ("flipper door") on the left wall of the freezer stops the ice maker from producing ice if the door is open or the storage bin is removed.

Replace the storage bin on the door and push down to make sure it is securely in place.

Cut Hazard

Use a sturdy glass when dispensing ice or water.

Failure to do so can result in cuts.

The Water Dispenser

IMPORTANT:

The dispensing system will not operate when the freezer door is open.

After connecting the refrigerator to a water source. flush the water system by dispensing water into a sturdy container until you draw and discard 2 to 3 gal. (8 to 12 L) of water. or for approximately 5 minutes after the water begins dispensing.

The flushing process cleans the water system and clears air from the lines. As the air is cleared from the lines. water may spurt out of the dispenser.

Allow several hours for the refrigerator to cool down and chill water.

Dispense enough water every week to maintain a fresh supply.

To Dispense Water:

Press a sturdy glass against the water dispenser lever.

Remove the glass to stop dispensing.

The Ice Dispenser

The dispensing system will not operate when the freezer door is open. Ice dispenses from the ice maker storage bin in the freezer when the dispenser lever is pressed.

Depending on your model. you may have one or more of the following options: the ability to select either crushed or cubed ice. a special light that turns on when you use the dispenser. or a lock option to avoid unintentional dispensing.

NOTE: Some models dispense both cubed and crushed ice.

Before dispensing ice. select which type of ice you prefer.

For crushed ice. cubes are crushed before being dispensed.

This may cause a slight delay when dispensing crushed ice. Noise from the ice crusher is normal. and pieces of ice may vary in size.

When changing from crush to cube. a few ounces of crushed ice will be dispensed along with the first cubes.

To Dispense Ice:

Press the button to select the desired type of ice.

Press a sturdy glass against the ice dispenser lever. Hold the glass close to the dispenser opening so ice does not fall outside of the glass.

IMPORTANT: You do not need to apply a lot of pressure to the lever in order to activate the ice dispenser. Pressing hard will not make the ice dispense faster or in greater quantities.

Remove the glass to stop dispensing.

The Dispenser Light

Style 1: The dispenser light can be turned on by pressing the ON button.

Style 2: When you use the dispenser. the lever will automatically turn the light on. If you want the light to be on continuously. you may choose either ON or NIGHT LIGHT.

ON: Press the LIGHT button to turn the dispenser light on.

NIGHT LIGHT: Press the LIGHT button a second time to select the Night Light. The dispenser light will automatically adjust to become brighter as the room brightens. dimmer as the room darkens.

OFF: Press the LIGHT button a third time to turn the dispenser light off.

The dispenser lights are LEDs which should not need to be changed.

If it appears that your dispenser lights are not working. check to be sure that the light sensor is not blocked (in Night Light mode). See "Troubleshooting" for more information.

The Dispenser Lock (on some models)

Your dispenser can be turned off for easy cleaning or to prevent unintentional dispensing by small children and pets.

NOTE: The lock feature does not shut off power to the product. to the ice maker. or to the dispenser light. It simply deactivates the dispenser levers. The ice and water dispensers will not work.

Style 1: Press the LOCK BuTroN to lock the dispenser. Press the UNLOCK button to unlock the dispenser.

Style 2: Press and hold the LOCK OUT button to lock the dispenser. Press and hold the LOCK OUT button a second time to unlock the dispenser.

NOTE: Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system. Systems certified for cyst reduction may be used on disinfected waters that may contain filterable cysts.

Water Filter Status Light (on some models)

The water filter status light will help you know when to change your water filter. The light will change from green to yellow. This tells you that it is almost time to change the filter. It is recommended that you replace the water filter when the status light changes to red OR water flow to your water dispenser or ice maker decreases noticeably.

After changing the water filter. reset the water filter status light.

The status light will change from red to green when the system is reset.

Non-indicator Water Filter (on some models)

If your refrigerator does not have the status light. you should change the water filter every 6 to 9 months depending upon your usage. If the water flow to the water dispenser or ice maker decreases noticeably before 6 months have passed. replace the water filter more often.

Using the Dispenser Without the Water Filter

You can run the dispenser without a water filter. Your water will not be filtered.

Remove the water filter.

Slide the cap off the end of the filter and replace it in the base grille.

IMPORTANT: Do not discard the cap. It is part of your refrigerator.

Keep the cap to use with the replacement filter.

Rotate the cap until it is securely in position.

REFRIGERATORCARE

Explosion Hazard

Use nonflammable ceaner.

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

Both the refrigerator and freezer sections defrost automatically.

However. clean both sections about once a month to prevent odors from building up. 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 prevent odor transfer and drying out of food. wrap or cover foods tightly.

ToCleanYour Refrigerator: NOTE: Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners such as window sprays. scouring cleansers. flammable fluids. cleaning waxes. concentrated detergents. bleaches or cleansers containing petroleum products on plastic parts. interior and door liners or gaskets. Do not use paper towels. scouring pads. or other harsh cleaning tools.
