SAFETY INFORMATION

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

PROPER DISPOSAL OF YOUR OLD REFRIGERATOR

Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. For

personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded.

The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a

3-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a standard

3-prong (grounding) wall outlet to minimize the

possibility of electric shock hazard from this appliance.

Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified

electrician to make sure the outlet is properly

grounded.

Where a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, it

is your personal responsibility and obligation to have it

replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.

Do not use an adapter.

The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own

individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating

that matches the rating plate.

A 115 Volt AC, 60 Hz, 15- or 20-amp fused, grounded

electrical supply is required. This provides the best

performance and also prevents overloading house

wiring circuits which could cause a fire hazard from

overheated wires.

Never unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the power

cord. Always grip plug firmly and pull straight out from

the outlet.

Immediately discontinue use of a damaged supply

cord. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be

replaced by a qualified service professional with an

authorized service part from the manufacturer.

When moving the refrigerator away from the wall, be

careful not to roll over or damage the power cord.

Important Facts About Your Dispenser

Ŷ Do not add ice from trays or bags to the door ice

maker bucket. It may not crush or dispense.

Ŷ Avoid overfilling glass with ice and use of narrow

glasses. Backed-up ice can jam the chute or cause the

door in the chute to freeze shut. If ice is blocking the

chute remove the ice bucket, poke it through with a

wooden spoon.

Ŷ Beverages and foods should not be quick-chilled in the

door ice maker bin. Cans, bottles or food packages in

the storage drawer may cause the ice maker or auger

to jam.

Ŷ To keep dispensed ice from missing the glass, put

the glass close to, but not touching, the dispenser

opening.

Ŷ Some crushed ice may be dispensed even though you

selected CUBED ICE. This happens occasionally when

a few cubes accidentally get directed to the crusher.

Ŷ After crushed ice is dispensed, some water may drip

from the chute.

Ŷ Sometimes a small mound of snow will form on the

door in the ice chute. This condition is normal and

usually occurs when you have dispensed crushed ice

repeatedly. The snow will eventually evaporate.

If no water is dispensed when the refrigerator is first

installed, there may be air in the water line system. Press

the dispenser paddle for at least five minutes to remove

trapped air from the water line and to fill the water

system. To flush out impurities in the water line, throw

away the first six full glasses of water.

To remove Dispenser Tray

Ŷ Pull Dispenser Tray out until it stops.

Ŷ Locate tab in the center on the bottom and push up.

Ŷ Pull Dispenser Tray assembly out.

Ŷ Lift metal Dispenser Tray out at center notch to clean.

To reinstall Dispenser Tray

Ŷ Place the Dispenser Tray cover on top of catch tray

and position under the two plastic retainers on either

side.

Ŷ Center Dispenser tray, and align with center guides.

Ŷ Push in until is firmly in place.

Water & Ice Dispenser

(See About the controls

To Use the Internal Water Dispenser (CWE Models Only)

The water dispenser is located on

the left wall inside the refrigerator

compartment.

To dispense water:

1. Hold the glass against the recess.

2. Push the water dispenser button.

3. Hold the glass underneath the

dispenser for 2–3 seconds after

releasing the dispenser button.

Water may continue to dispense

after the button is released.

If no water is dispensed when the refrigerator is first

installed, there may be air in the water line system. Press

the dispenser button for at least 5 minutes to remove

trapped air from the water line and to fill the water

system. During this process, the dispenser noise may be

loud as the air is purged from the water line system. To

flush out impurities in the water line, throw away the first

6 glassfuls of water.

NOTE: To avoid water deposits, the dispenser should

be cleaned periodically by wiping with a clean cloth or

sponge.

WARNING

LACERATION HAZARD

Ŷ Never put fingers or any other object into ice crusher

Water Filter Cartridge - RPWFE

USING THE REFRIGERATOR: Water Filter Cartridge - RPWFE

Water Filter Cartridge

The water filter cartridge is located in the fresh food

interior on the left side wall, near the top.

Select models use radio frequency identification (RFID)

to detect leaks and monitor filter status. The RFID

technology is certified by the FCC.

When to Replace the Filter Cartridge

The filter cartridge should be replaced every six months

or earlier if 170 gallons (643.52 liters) of water has

been dispensed or the flow of water to the dispenser or

icemaker decreases.

Touch Screen Models: A filter status message will

appear on the screen when the water filter needs to be

replaced. The filter status will automatically update when

the filter is replaced.

Non-touch Screen Models: A filter indicator light will

illuminate on the screen when the water filter needs to

be replaced.

Removing the Filter Cartridge/Bypass Plug

1. Remove the old

cartridge or bypass plug

by opening the filter

door and pulling on the

bottom of the cartridge/

bypass plug to disengage it from the filter clips. Swing

the cartridge/bypass plug outward until you hear

the 'click' of the cartridge holder engaging with the

bracket.

2. Twist the cartridge/bypass plug one-quarter turn

counter-clockwise. After twisting, remove the cartridge/

bypass plug by pulling it away from the cartridge

holder. A small amount of water may drip out.

Installing the Filter Cartridge/Bypass Plug

1. Align the filter cartridge/bypass plug with the cartridge

holder with the word "FRONT" facing the top of the

unit. Push the cartridge/bypass plug toward the rear of

the unit until it is fully seated. Twist the filter cartridge/

bypass plug clockwise one-quarter turn, until the word

"FRONT" is facing outward.

2. While continuing to ensure cartridge/bypass plug is

fully seated in the holder, gently swing the filter inward

until it is in position. If filter will not swing easily, check

to ensure filter is properly aligned and fully seated

within the cartridge holder. The RED indicators should

not be visible.

NOTE: It is normal for water to appear discolored during

the initial system flush. Water color will return to normal

after first few minutes of dispensing.

Filter Bypass Plug

To reduce the risk of property damage due to water

leakage, you MUST use the filter bypass plug when

a replacement filter cartridge is not available. Some

models do not come equipped with the filter bypass

plug. To obtain a free bypass plug, visit us on-line

at cafeappliances.com/service. In Canada, visit

cafeappliances.ca/service. The dispenser and

icemaker will not operate without either the filter or the

bypass plug installed. The bypass plug is installed in the

A newly installed refrigerator may take 12 to 24 hours to begin making ice.

WARNING

Connect to potable water supply

only.

A cold water supply is required for automatic icemaker

operation. The water pressure must be between 40

and 120 psi (275-827 kilopascals).

Automatic Ice maker*

The ice maker will produce seven cubes per cycle

approximately 100–130 cubes in a 24-hour period,

depending on freezer compartment temperature, room

temperature, number of door openings and other use

conditions.

The ice maker will fill with water when it cools to 15°F

(–10°C). A newly installed refrigerator may take 12 to 24

hours to begin making ice cubes.

If the refrigerator is operated before the water line

connection is made to the unit or if the water supply to

an operating refrigerator is turned off, make sure that

the ice maker is turned off. Once the water has been

connected to the refrigerator, the ice maker may be

turned on. See the table below for details.

You may hear a buzzing sound each time the ice maker

fills with water.

Throw away the first few batches of ice to allow the

water line to clear.

Be sure nothing interferes with the sweep of the feeler

arm.

When the bin fills to the level of the feeler arm, the ice

maker will stop producing ice. It is normal for several

cubes to be joined together.

If ice is not used frequently, old ice cubes will become

cloudy, taste stale and shrink.

NOTE: In homes with lower-than-average water

pressure, you may hear the ice maker cycle multiple

times when making one batch of ice.

CAUTION

To minimize the risk of personal injury,

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 ice making mechanism while the refrigerator is

plugged in.

CONNECTING THE REFRIGERATOR TO THE HOUSE WATER LINE

A cold water supply is required for automatic

ice maker operation. If there is not a cold water

supply, you will need to provide one. See

Installing the Water Line section.

NOTES:

• Before making the connection to the

refrigerator, be sure the refrigerator power

cord is not plugged into the wall outlet.

• If your refrigerator does not have a water

filter, we recommend installing one if your

water supply has sand or particles that

could clog the screen of the refrigerator’s

water valve. Install it in the water line near

the refrigerator. If using SmartConnect

™

Refrigerator Tubing Kit, you will need an

additional tube (WX08X10002) to connect the

filter. Do not cut plastic tube to install filter.

• Before connecting the water line to the house,

purge the house line for at least 2 minutes.

If you are using copper tubing, place a

compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) onto the

end of the tubing coming from the house cold

water supply.

If you are using the SmartConnect

™

tubing, the

nuts are already assembled to the tubing.

If you are using copper tubing, insert the end

of the tubing into the refrigerator connection, at

the back of the refrigerator, as far as possible.

While holding the tubing, tighten the fitting.

If you are using SmartConnect

™

tubing,

insert the molded end of the tubing into the

refrigerator connection, at the back of the

refrigerator, and tighten the compression nut

until it is hand tight. Then tighten one additional

turn with a wrench. Over tightening may cause

leaks.

Fasten the tubing into the clamp provided to

hold it in position. You may need to pry open

the clamp.

LEVEL THE REFRIGERATOR

The leveling legs have 2 purposes:

1. Leveling legs adjust so the refrigerator is

firmly positioned on the floor and does not

wobble.

2. Leveling legs serve as a stabilizing brake

to hold the refrigerator securely in position

during operation and cleaning. The leveling

legs also prevent the refrigerator from tipping.

LOCATION

Choose a location for the valve that is easily

accessible. It is best to connect into the side of

a vertical water pipe. When it is necessary to

connect into a horizontal water pipe, make the

connection to the top or side, rather than at the

bottom, to avoid drawing off any sediment from

the water pipe.

to keep warn room air from entering the ice bucket,

maintaining ice at a freezing temperature.

The hum of the motor closing the ice chute is

normal, shortly after dispensing ice.

You may hear the fans spinning at high speeds.

This happens when the refrigerator is first plugged

in, when the doors are opened frequently or when

a large amount of food is added to the refrigerator

or freezer compartments. The fans are helping to

maintain the correct temperatures.

The fans change speeds in order to provide optimal

cooling and energy savings.

CLICKS, POPS,

CRACKS and SNAPS

Ŷ You may hear cracking or popping sounds when

the refrigerator is first plugged in. This happens as

the refrigerator cools to the correct temperature.

Ŷ Expansion and contraction of cooling coils during

and after defrost can cause a cracking or popping

sound.

Ŷ On models with an ice maker, after an ice making

cycle, you may hear the ice cubes dropping into the

ice bucket.

Ŷ On models with a dispenser, during water dispense,

you may hear the water lines move at initial

dispense and after dispenser button is released.

WATER SOUNDS

Ŷ The flow of refrigerant through the cooling coils may

make a gurgling noise like boiling water.

Ŷ Water dropping on the defrost heater can cause

a sizzling, popping or buzzing sound during the

defrost cycle.

Ŷ A water dripping noise may occur during the defrost

cycle as ice melts from the evaporator and flows

into the drain pan.

Ŷ Closing the door may cause a gurgling sound due to

pressure equalization.

Do you hear what I hear? These conditions are normal.

Truth or Myth? Answer Explanation

The refrigerator water filter may require

replacement prior to six months of use

758( The water filter indicator will indicate the need to replace the

water filter every six months or 170 gallons (643.52 liters) of

water dispensed (select models only). Water quality varies

from city to city. If water flow from the dispenser slows, or ice

production decreases, the water filter should be replaced,

even though the filter indicator may not indicate the need for

replacement.

The automatic ice maker in my

refrigerator will produce ice when the

refrigerator is plugged in to a power

receptacle.

MYTH The refrigerator must be connected to water, and the ice

maker must be turned on. Make sure the ice maker is turned

on, only after the water line is connected and water is turned

on. The ice maker can be turned on/off from the controls and

ensure the ice maker is on, as indicated on the refrigerator

control panel. See Automatic Ice Maker section.

After the refrigerator has been plugged

in and connected to water, I will

immediately have unlimited chilled water

available from the water dispenser.

MYTH The water dispenser tank located inside the refrigerator stores

water for dispensing. The water in this tank requires 24 hours

to chill after installation. High usage conditions will not allow

time for the water to chill.

After water dispenses, a few drops of

water are normal.

758( A few drops of water may fall from the dispenser, after the

dispenser paddle has been released. To minimize the drops,

remove the glass slowly from the dispenser.

I will never see frost inside the freezer

compartment.

MYTH Frost inside the freezer typically indicates that the door is

not properly sealed, or has been left open. If frost is found,

clear the frost using a plastic spatula and towel, then check

to ensure that no food packages or containers are preventing

the freezer door from closing. Check the refrigerator control

panel to ensure the door alarm is on.

Problem Possible Causes What to Do

Delay when using Keurig K-cup Pod

dispenser

To ensure a quality beverage is

delivered, a short delay is required

to ensure the refrigerator is

operating correctly

Ensuring consistent, quality operation

requires the refrigerator to delay

dispense for a short period of time

After brewing, my powdered

beverage is not fully cleared from

the used pod

Depending on size selected, the

powder may not dissolve fully.

Some powdered beverages

develop into ‘clumps’ when left

sitting for some time

Shake the powdered pods before

brewing to break up these clumps and

allow better clearing. For powdered

beverage with no filter, use the Cocoa

cycle selection

Brewer lid is difficult to close K-cup is not fully seated Press K-cup all the way down into the

brewer prior to closing the lid. Lower

needle must puncture K-cup bfore

Brewer leaks during the brew cycle Trouble in closing brewer lid or

damaged K-cup

Press K-cup all the way down into the

brewer prior to closing the lid. Lower

closing the brewer lid. Recommend

using official Keurig K-cups that have

not been damaged and have a good

seal between the top cover and plastic

Truth or Myth? Answer Explanation

When the refrigerator is installed, or after

replacing the water filter, I must dispense

water for five minutes.

758(

A newly installed refrigerator or water filter contains air in the water

lines. Press the dispenser paddle and dispense cold water for at least

5 minutes to remove air from the water line, and flush the filter.

To fill the ice bucket to the maximum

capacity, I should dispense 12 and 18 hours

after installation.

758( Dispensing 3-4 cubes 12 hours and 18 hours after installation, allows

ice to disperse within the ice bucket, which in turns calls on the ice

maker to produce additional ice. Normal ice production = 100 cubes

in 24 hours.

I can use the water filter bypass plug to

determine if the filter requires replacement.

758( Decrease in flow from the water dispenser, or decreased ice

production, may indicate the need to replace the water filter. Install

the water filter bypass plug (provided with the refrigerator on some

models*), and check flow from the dispenser. If water flow returns to

normal with the bypass plug in place, replace the water filter.

The top of the refrigerator doors will always

be aligned.

MYTH Several things can affect the fresh food door alignment, including the

floor the refrigerator is installed on and loading of doors. If the top

There may be odor and taste problems with

your ice.

758( After starting the ice maker throw away 24 hours of ice production to

avoid odor and taste problems.

I can make fine adjustments to the fresh food

doors to align them.

bottom of the right/left door. Open the freezer door to access.

Door handles should always be removed for

Door removal is always required for

installation.

MYTH Check chart on reverse side of this instruction. Doors should only be

removed when necessary to prevent damage from passage way or

access to final location.

Refrigerator doors that won’t close after

installation, can be adjusted to close properly.

758( Door mechanism works best if installed at 90°+. If installed at 180°,

remove the door from the mid hinge, and swing the door 180° before

reinstalling. See Reinstalling the Refrigerator Doors.

There is an adjustment to rear wheels. MYTH Front leveling legs are adjustable and should be used to balance the

refrigerator. Leveling legs are used to make initial fresh food door

adjustment.

Check for leaks after all water connections

are made.

758( While purging the air from the water system, check all water line

connections for leaks. Check the connection to the household water

supply at back of refrigerator, and door water line connect.

My LCD display will always be on when I

plug the power cord in at installation.

MYTH If the refrigerator has been stored in a cold environment, the LCD

may be slow to give a proper display. Give the refrigerator enough

time to warm up, and the display should be okay.

Any packaging residue can be cleaned off

the refrigerator using any cleaner.

MYTH Do not use wax, polish, bleach, or other products containing chlorine

on Stainless Steel panels, door handles and trim. Check this
