DO NOT install water supply tubing in areas where temperatures fall below freezing.
Chemicals from a malfunctioning softener can damage the icemaker. If the ice maker isconnected tosoft
water, ensure that the softener is maintained and working properly.
IMPORTANT: Ensure thatyour watersupplylineconnectionscomplywithall local plumbing codes.
Before Installing The Water Supply Line, You Will Need
Basic Tools: adjustable wrench,flat-blade screwdriver, and PhdhpsTM screwdriver
Access toa householdcoldwaterlinewithwater pressurebetween 20 and 100 psi
• Awater supplyhnemade of¼ inch (6.4 rnm)OD, coppertubing.Todetermine the lengthofcoppertubingneeded,
you willneed to measurethe distance from the ice makerinJetvalve at theback ofthe refrigeratorto yourcoldwater
pipe Thenadd approximately7 feet (2 1meters), so therefrigeratorcanbe movedoutforcleaning(as shown)
A shutoff valve toconnectthewatersupplylinetoyour householdwater system DO NOT usea self-piercing type
shutoff valve
A compression nutand ferrule (sleeve)for connestmgthe water supply hneto the ice maker inlet valve.

as shown.
5. Push water supply line into water valve inlet as far as Jtwtll go (V4 inch).
SIrde ferrule (sleeve) into valve inlet and finger tighten compression nut
onto valve Tighten another haft turn with a wrench; DO NOT over t_ghten.
6 Wtth steel clamp and screw, secure water supply line to rear panel of
refngerator as shown.
7 Cod excess water supply line (about 2Y2turns) behind refrigerator as shown
and arrange coils so they do not vibrate or wear against any other surface
8. Turn ON water supply at shutoff valve and tighten any connecttons that

Automatic Ice and Water Dispenser
ICE AND WATER DISPENSER FEATURES
The ice and water dispenser conventently dispenses chilled water, and tce cubes or crushed ice, depending on the model
To operate the icedispenser, selectthe iceoption desired usingthe touchpad Press aglass against thedispensing paddle
as far up as possible to catch all ice Tostop dispensing ice, pull glass away from dispensing paddle. Do not remove the
glass until the ice hascompletely dispensed. (Complete instructionsfor the dispenser operation are attached to the inside
of the freezer door )
How the Water Dispenser Works
The watertank, locatedbehind the drawers in therefngerator compartment, automatically fills aswater isdispensed. For
proper d_spenser operation, the recommended supply water pressure should fall between 20 psi and 100 psi.
Waterpressure mustnotexceed 100Ibs.Excessivepressurernsycausewaterfittartomalfunction.
After the refrigerator is connected to the water supply, fill the water tank by drawing one glass of water. It may take about
11/=minutes after act]rating the dispenser paddle before water begins to fill this first glass. Continue flushing the system
for 3 minutes to rid the tank and plumbing connections of any impurit]es The water dispenser has a built in shutoff device
that wdl stop the water flow after 3 m_nutes of continuous use. Simply release the dispenser paddle to reset the shutoff
mechanism
Chemicals from a maffunctioningsoftenercandamage the icemaker. Ifthe icemaker isconnected
to soft water, ensure that the softener is maintained and working properly.

ICE DISPENSER TIPS
Ice cubes stored too long may develop an odd flavor Empty the _cecontainer and ensure that the wire signal arm is
in its "down" or ON position. The ice maker will then produce more ice
Occasionally shake the ice container to keep =ceseparated.
Keep the wire signal arm in its "up" or OFF position until the refngerator is connected to the water supply or whenever the

Food Storage & Energy Saving Ideas
FOOD STORAGE IDEAS
Fresh Food Storage
The fresh food compartment should be kept between 34° F and40° Fwithan optimum temperature of 37° F
Avoid overcrowding the refrigerator shelves This reduces the circulation of a_raround the food and results inuneven
cooling.
Fruits and Vegetables
Storage in the crisper drawers traps moisture to helppreserve the fruit and vegetablequality forlongertime periods.
Meat
Raw meat and poultry should be wrapped securely so leakage and contamination of other foods or surfaces does not
occur.
Frozen Food Storage
The freezer compartment should be kept at0° For lower
A freezer operates most efficiently when it is at least 2/3 full
Packaging Foods for Freezing
To minimize dehydration and quahtydeterioration, use aluminum foil, freezerwrap, freezer bags or airtightcontainers.
Force as much air out of the packages as possible and seal them tightly Trapped air can cause food todry out,
change color, and develop an off-flavor (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
Avotd addingtoo muchwarmfoodtothefreezer at onetime. Thisoverloadsthefreezer, slows the rate offreezmg,
and can raise thetemperature offrozen foods,
Leavea space between thepackages, socoldair can circulatefreely, allowingfood tofreeze as quickly as possible
Avoid storinghard-to-freezefoods suchas icecreamand orangejuiceonthefreezer door shelves These foodsare
best stored Inthefreezer intertorwhere thetemperature vanesless
ENERGY SAVING IDEAS
• Locate therefngerator inthe coolest partof the room,outof direct sunhght,
and away from heating ducts orregisters Do not placethe refrigerator
next to heat-producing apphances such as a range, oven,or dishwasher
Ifthis isnotpossible, a section of cabinetry or anadded layerof insulation
between the two appliances wdlhelp the refngerator operate more
efficiently.
• Level the refrigerator so that the doors closetightly
Refer tothis Use & Care Manual for the suggested temperature control
settings
Persodiccleaning of thecondenser wdlhelp the refrigerator run more
efficiently. See the Careand Cleaning Chart on page 19.
• Do notovercrowd the refngerator orblock cold air vents.Doing socauses
the refrigerator to run longer and use more energy
Cover foods and wipe containers dry before placing them inthe
refrigerator. This cuts down on motsture build-up insidethe unit.
• Organize the refngerator toreduce door openings. Remove as many
itemsas needed at one time and close the dooras soon as possible

Normal Operating Sounds & Sights
UNDERSTANDING THE SOUNDS YOU MAY HEAR
Your new hlgh-eftlclency refrigerator may make unfamlhar
sounds. These are all normal sounds and soon will become
famihartoyou They alsoindicateyour refngeratoris operating
as designed Hard surfaces, such as vtnyl or wood floors,
walls, and kitchen cabmets may make sounds more
noticeable. Listed below aredescnptlons ofsome ofthe most
common sounds you may hear, and what IScausing them
NOTE: Rigid foam insulation is very energy efficaent,
but is not a soundinsulator.
A. Evaporator
The flowof refrigerant through the evaporator may
create a boiling or gurghng sound
B. Evaporator Fan
Youmay hearair being forced through the refrigerator
bythe evaporator fan
C. Defrost Heater
During defrost cycles, water dnpping onto the defrost
heater may cause a h_asmgor sizzling sound After
defrosting, a popping sound mayoccur
IMPORTANT: During the automatic defrost cycle, you
may notice a red glow mthe vents on the back wall of
your freezer compartment. This is normal during the
defrost cycle.
D. Automatic Ice Maker
If yourrefngerator isequipped w_than automatic ice
maker, you will hear icecubes falling into the ice bin
E. Cold Control & Automatic Defrost Control
These parts can produce a snapping or chcklng sound
when turmng the refngeretor on and off.
F. Condenser Fan
You mayhear air beingforcedthroughthecondenser

surface Do not wash any removable parts in a d_shwasher Always unplug the electricsl power cord from the waft
outlet before cleaning.
• When moving the refrigerator, pull straight out. Do not shiftthe refrigerator from side to sideas this may
damage the floor. Becareful not to move the refrigerator beyond the plumbing connections.
• Damp objects stick tocold metal surfaces. Do not touch refrigerated surfaces with wet or damp hands.
To avoid damage and helpthe refrigerator runas efficiently as possible, clean the condenser periodically.
NOTES:
Turningthe freezer and freshfood controls to "O"turns off thecompressor, but does not disconnect electrical
power to the light bulb or other electrical components. Toturn off power to your refrigerator, you must unplugthe
power cord from thewall outlet
Do notuse razorbladesor other sharp instruments which can scratchthe appliance surfacewhen removing
adhestve labels. Any glueleft from tape orlabels can be removed with a m_xtureof warm water andmild
