Please read all instructions before using this refrigerator.
• Remove all staples from the carton.
Staples can cause severe cuts, and
also destroy nishes if they come
in contact with other appliances or
furniture.
Child Safety
Destroy or recycle the carton, plastic
bags, and any exterior wrapping material
immediately after the refrigerator is
unpacked. Children should NEVER use
these items to play. Cartons covered
with rugs, bedspreads, plastic sheets
or stretch wrap may become airtight
chambers, and can quickly cause
suffocation.
Proper Disposal of your
Refrigerator or Freezer
Risk of child entrapment
Child entrapment and suffocation are
not problems of the past. Junked or
abandoned refrigerators or freezers are
still dangerous – even if they will sit for
“just a few days”. If you are getting rid
of your old refrigerator or freezer, please
follow the instructions below to help
prevent accidents.
Proper Disposal of Refrigerators/
Freezers
We strongly encourage responsible
appliance recycling/disposal methods.
Check with your utility company or visit
www.energystar.gov/recycle for more
information on
recycling your
old refrigerator.
Before you
throw away
your old
refrigerator/
freezer:
• Remove
doors.
• Leave shelves in place so children
may not easily climb inside.
• Have refrigerant removed by a
qualied service technician.
5
EN
IMPORTANT
CFC/HCFC Disposal
Your old refrigerator may have a cool-
ing system that used CFCs or HCFCs
(chlorouorocarbons or hydrochloro-
uorocarbons). CFCs and HCFCs are
believed to harm stratospheric ozone
if released to the atmosphere. Other
refrigerants may also cause harm to
the environment if released to the
atmosphere.
If you are throwing away your old
refrigerator, make sure the refrigerant
is removed for proper disposal by a
qualied technician. If you intention-
ally release refrigerant, you may be
subject to nes and imprisonment
under provisions of environmental
legislation.
Electrical information
• The refrigerator must be plugged
into its own dedicated 115 Volt,
60 Hz., 15 Amp, AC only electrical
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 qualied electrician. Avoid
connecting refrigerator to a Ground
Fault Interrupter (GFI) circuit. Do
not use an extension cord or adapter
plug.
• If the power cord is damaged, it
should be replaced by an authorized
service technician to prevent any
risk.
• Never unplug the refrigerator by
pulling on the power cord. Always
grip the plug rmly, and pull straight
out from the receptacle to prevent
damaging the power cord.
• Unplug the refrigerator before
cleaning and before replacing a light
bulb to avoid electrical shock.
• Performance may be affected if the
voltage varies by 10% or more.
Operating the refrigerator with
insufcient power can damage the
compressor. Such damage is not
covered under your warranty.
IMPORTANT
Pressing and holding the On/Off but-
ton for three seconds, located on the
temperature control panel, will disable
your refrigerator’s cooling system but
does not disconnect the power to the
light bulb and other electrical compo-
nents. To turn off power to your refrig-
erator you must unplug the power cord
from the electrical outlet.
Grounding type wall receptacle
Power cord with
3-prong grounded plug
Do not, under
any circumstances,
cut, remove,
or bypass the
grounding prong.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
• Do not plug the unit into an
electrical outlet controlled by a wall
switch or pull cord to prevent the
refrigerator from being turned off
accidentally.
CAUTION
To avoid personal injury or property
damage, handle tempered glass shelves
carefully. Shelves may break suddenly if
nicked, scratched, or exposed to sudden
temperature change.

WATER SUPPLY CONNECTION
WARNING
To avoid electric shock, which can
cause death or severe personal injury,
disconnect the refrigerator from
electrical power before connecting a
water supply line to the refrigerator.
NOTE
Check with your local building author-
ity for recommendations on water
lines and associated materials prior
to installing your new refrigerator.
Depending on your local/state building
codes, IKEA recommends for homes
with existing valves its water line kit
5305513409 with a 6 ft.
(1.8 meters) Stainless Steel Water
Line, and for homes without an existing
valve IKEA recommends its water line
kit 5305510264 with a 20 ft.
(6 meters) Copper Water Line with self-
tapping saddle valve.
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.
• Chemicals from a malfunctioning
water softener can damage the ice
maker. If your home has a water
softening system, ensure the
softener is maintained and working
properly.
IMPORTANT
Ensure that your water supply line
connections comply with all local
plumbing codes.
Before Installing The Water
Supply Line, You Will Need:
• Basic Tools: adjustable wrench,
at-blade screwdriver, and Phillips
TM
screwdriver
• Access to a household cold water
line with water pressure between 30
and 100 psi.
• A water supply line made of ¼ inch
(6.4 mm) OD, copper or stainless
steel tubing. To determine the
length of tubing needed, measure
the distance from the ice maker inlet
valve at the back of the refrigerator
to your cold water pipe. Then add
approximately 7 feet (2.1 meters),
so the refrigerator can be moved out
for cleaning (as shown).
• A shutoff valve to connect the water
supply line to your household water
system. DO NOT use a self-piercing
type shutoff valve.
• Do not re-use compression tting or
use thread seal tape.
• A compression nut and ferrule
(sleeve) for connecting a copper
water supply line to the ice maker
inlet valve.
To Connect Water Supply
Line To Ice Maker Inlet Valve
1 Disconnect refrigerator from electric
power source.
2 Place end of water supply line into
sink or bucket. Turn ON water supply
and ush supply line until water
is clear. Turn OFF water supply at
shutoff valve.
3 Remove plastic cap from water valve
inlet and discard cap.
4 If you use copper tubing - Slide
brass compression nut, then
ferrule (sleeve) onto water supply
line. Push water supply line into
water valve inlet as far as it will
go (¼ inch/6.4 mm). Slide ferrule
(sleeve) into valve inlet and nger
tighten compression nut onto valve.
16
EN
IMPORTANT
Your refrigerator’s water supply system
includes several tubing lines, a water
lter, and a water valve. To ensure that
your water dispenser works properly,
this system must be completely lled
with water when your refrigerator is
rst connected to the household water
supply line.

EN
IMPORTANT
Your ice maker is turned on at the
factory so it can work as soon as you
install your refrigerator. If you can-
not connect a water supply, set the ice
maker’s On/Off feature to Off; oth-
erwise, the ice maker’s ll valve may
make a loud chattering noise when it
attempts to operate without water.
IMPORTANT
Turning off the ice maker simply dis-
ables ice making. You will still be able
to dispense existing ice, and you will
still be able to dispense water.
AUTOMATIC ICE AND WATER DISPENSER
NOTE
The water dispenser has a built-in de-
vice that shuts off the water ow after
three minutes of continuous use. To
reset this shutoff device, simply release
the dispenser paddle.
NOTE
The ice maker also has a built-in plas-
tic signal arm that automatically stops
ice production when the ice bin is full.
This signal arm should not be used to
manually stop the ice maker.
CAUTION
For proper dispenser operation,
recommended water supply pressure
should fall between 30 psi and 100 psi.
Excessive pressure may cause the
system to malfunction.
Priming the water supply
system
Ice maker operation & care
After the refrigerator is installed properly
and has cooled for several hours, the ice
maker can produce ice within 24 hours.
The ice maker will ll the ice bin from
the rear. You must dispense some ice to
force the ice forward in the bin. This will
allow the bin to ll completely.
Ice Maker and Storage Bin
Capacity
This ice maker should produce 2.0 to 2.5
pounds of ice per 24 hours.
In a Standard Depth model, the ice bin will
hold about 6.5 pounds of ice. In a Counter
Depth model, the ice bin will hold about 4
pounds of ice.
Turning the fresh food ice
maker on and off
Ice production is controlled by the ice
maker’s On/Off feature on the control
panel. Pressing the On/Off feature turns
the ice maker on & off.
Using the ice maker after
installation
Before making ice for the rst 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 ushed, the rst ice cubes may be
discolored or have an odd avor.
NOTE
Dispensed water is not chilled. For
colder water, add ice to cup or con-
tainer before dispensing water.
1 Begin lling the system 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 four minutes to
ush the system and plumbing
connections of any impurities
(stopping to empty the glass as
necessary).

CAUTION
If the water supply to your refrigerator
is softened, be sure the softener is
properly maintained. Chemicals from
a water softener can damage the ice
maker.
IMPORTANT
On occasion, unusually small ice cubes
may be noticed in the bucket or in
dispensed ice. This could occur in nor-
mal operation of the ice maker. If you
start seeing these more frequently,
it may be an indication of low water
pressure or the water lter needs to
be replaced. As the water lter nears
the end of its useful life and becomes
clogged with particles, less water is
delivered to the ice maker during
each cycle. Remember, if it’s been
six months or longer since you last
changed your water lter, replace the
water lter with a new one. Poor qual-
ity household water may require the
lter to be changed more frequently.
AUTOMATIC ICE AND WATER DISPENSER
Ice maker/dispenser tips
• If your refrigerator is not connected
to a water supply or the water
supply is turned off, turn off the ice
maker as described in the previous
section.
• The following sounds are normal
when the ice maker is operating:
- Motor running
- Ice dropping into ice bin
- Water valve opening or closing
- Running water
• If you need a large quantity of ice
at one time, it is best to get cubes
directly from the ice bin.
• Ice cubes stored too long may
develop an odd avor. Empty the ice
bin as explained below.
• When dispensing cubed ice, it is
normal to have a small quantity of
little pieces along with the whole
cubes.
• To avoid splashing, dispense ice into
your container before adding liquids.
• It is normal for ice to ll to the top
of the ice bin.
Cleaning the ice maker
Clean the
ice maker
and ice bin
at regular
intervals,
especially
prior to
vacation or
moving.
1 Turn off
the ice
maker.
2 Remove
the ice bin by pulling straight out.
3 Empty and carefully clean the ice
bin with mild detergent. Do not use
harsh or abrasive cleaners. Rinse
with clear water.
4 Allow the ice bin to dry completely
before replacing in the freezer.
5 Replace the ice bin. Turn the ice
maker on.
Remove and empty the ice bin if:
• An extended power failure (one hour
or longer) causes ice cubes in the
ice bin to melt and refreeze together
after power is restored, 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 bin and shake to loosen
the cubes or clean as explained above.
Removing Ice Bin
23
EN
CAUTION
NEVER use an ice pick or similar sharp
instrument to break up the ice. This
could damage the ice bin and dispenser
mechanism.
To loosen stuck ice, use warm water.
Before replacing the ice bin, make sure
it is completely dry.
IMPORTANT
When removing or replacing the ice
bin, avoid rotating the auger in the
ice bin. If the auger is accidentally
rotated, you must realign the auger
by turning it in 45 degree turns (see
below) until the ice bin ts into place
with the drive mechanism. If the auger
is not properly aligned when replac-
ing the ice bin, the refrigerator will not
dispense ice. The fresh food door also
may not close properly causing warm
air to leak into the fresh food compart-
ment.

STORING FOOD AND SAVING ENERGY
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.
• Avoid placing food in front of air ports.
(See Controls Section for illustration.)
Fruits and vegetables
• Store fruits and vegetables in crisper
drawers, where trapped moisture
helps preserve food quality for
longer time periods.
• Wash items and remove excess water.
• Wrap any items that have strong
odors or high moisture content.
Meat
• Wrap raw meat and poultry
separately and securely to prevent
leaks and contamination of other
foods or surfaces.
• Use the deli drawer to store meat/
poultry 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 efciently
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-avor
(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
• Prior to grocery shopping, activate
“quick freeze” so that on your
return you can ensure your newly
purchased food designated for the
freezer will be preserved as quickly
as possible.
• Activating “quick freeze” also will
help your freezer more efciently
maintain the selected temperature
after placing new purchases with
pre-existing frozen foods.
• 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.
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 efciently.
• Level the refrigerator so that the
doors close tightly.
Temperature settings
• Refer to the “Controls” section 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.
• Do not place a hot container directly
on a cold shelf. Remember, such an
extreme temperature change may
damage the glass.

NORMAL OPERATING SOUNDS
Understanding the sounds
you may hear
Your new, high-efciency refrigerator
may introduce unfamiliar sounds.
These sounds normally indicate your
refrigerator is operating correctly. Some
surfaces on oors, walls, and kitchen
cabinets may make these sounds more
noticeable.
The 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. Ice
maker fan, water valve activation,
and refrigerant gas uid may create
sounds from its operation.
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-efciency
compressors run much faster than
older models. The compressor may
have a high-pitched hum or pulsating
sound.
H Water valve Makes a buzzing sound
each time it opens to ll 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.
K
Features vary by model
NOTE
Energy efcient foam in your refrigera-
tor is not a sound insulator.
NOTE
During automatic defrost cycle, a red
glow in the back wall vents of your
freezer compartment is normal.

ice. The ice maker will produce
fresh supply. Ice should be used
at least twice weekly to keep the
cubes separated.
• This generally occurs when the
ice maker does not get enough
water. This is usually the result of
a clogged water lter or restricted
