W10162438A

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury when using your refrigerator, follow these basic precautions:

• Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

• Do not remove ground prong.

• Do not use an adapter.

• Do not use an extension cord.

• Disconnect power before servicing.

• Replace all parts and panels before operating.

• Remove doors from your old refrigerator.

• Use nonflammable cleaner.

• Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline,

away from refrigerator.

• Use two or more people to move and install refrigerator.

• Disconnect power before installing ice maker (on ice maker

kit ready models only).

• Use a sturdy glass when dispensing ice (on some models).

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Proper Disposal of Your Old Refrigerator

Suffocation Hazard

Remove doors from your old refrigerator.

Failure to do so can result in death or brain damage.

IMPORTANT: Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems

of the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators are still dangerous

- even if they will sit for "just a few days." Ifyou are getting rid of

your old refrigerator, please follow these instructions to help

prevent accidents.

Before You Throw Away Your Old Refrigerator or Freezer:

• Take off the doors.

• Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily

climb inside.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move and install

refrigerator.

Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

If the ice storage bin is located on the door, remove the

temporary shield from underneath the ice storage bin. See

"Ice Maker and Storage Bin."

Remove packaging materials. Do not use sharp instruments,

rubbing alcohol, flammable fluids, or abrasive cleaners to

remove tape or glue. These products can damage the surface

of your refrigerator. For more information, see "Refrigerator

Safety."

When Moving Your Refrigerator:

Your refrigerator is heavy. When moving the refrigerator

for cleaning or service, be sure to protect the floor.

Always pull the refrigerator straight out when moving it.

Do not wiggle or "walk" the refrigerator when trying to move

it, as floor damage could occur.

important information to know about glass shelves

and covers:

Do not clean glass shelves or covers with warm water when

they are cold. Shelves and covers may break if exposed to

sudden temperature changes or impact, such as bumping.

For your protection, tempered glass is designed to shatter

into many small, pebble-size pieces. This is normal. Glass

shelves and covers are heavy. Use special care when

removing them to avoid impact from dropping.

Explosion Hazard

Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as

gasoline, away from refrigerator.

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

To ensure proper ventilation for your refrigerator, allow for 1/211

(1.25 cm) space on each side and at the top. When installing your

refrigerator next to a fixed wall, leave 2" (5.08 cm) minimum on

each side (depending on your model) to allow for the door to

swing open. Ifyour refrigerator has an ice maker, allow extra

space at the back for the water line connections.

NOTE: It is recommended that you do not install the refrigerator

near an oven, radiator, or other heat source. Do not install in a

location where the temperature will fall below 55°F (13°C).

112"(1.25 cm)

II -- Iii

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.

Before you move your refrigerator into its final location, it is

important to make sure you have the proper electrical

connection.

Recommended Grounding Method

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

electrical supply is required. It is recommended that a separate

circuit serving only your refrigerator be provided. Use an outlet

that cannot be turned off by a switch. Do not use an

extension cord.

NOTE: Before performing any type of installation, cleaning, or

removing a light bulb, turn the control (Thermostat, Refrigerator

or Freezer Control depending on the model) to OFF and then

disconnect the refrigerator from the electrical source. When you

are finished, reconnect the refrigerator to the electrical source

and reset the control (Thermostat, Refrigerator or Freezer Control

depending on the model) to the desired setting. See "Using the

Controls."

Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation.

Read and follow the instructions provided with any tools listed

here.

TOOLS NEEDED:

• Flat-blade screwdriver • 1/411Nut driver

• 7/16"and _/2"Open-end or two • _/4"Drill bit

adjustable wrenches • Cordless drill

NOTE: Your refrigerator dealer has a kit available with a 1/411

(6.35 ram) saddle-type shutoff valve, a union, and copper tubing.

Before purchasing, make sure a saddle-type valve complies with

your local plumbing codes. Do not use a piercing-type or 3/16"

(4.76 mm) saddle valve which reduces water flow and clogs more

easily.

IMPORTANT:

• All installations must meet local plumbing code requirements.

• Use copper tubing and check for leaks. Install copper tubing

only in areas where the household temperatures will remain

above freezing.

Water Pressure

A cold water supply with water pressure of between 30 and

120 psi (207 and 827 kPa) is required to operate the water

dispenser and ice maker. If you have questions about your water

pressure, call a licensed, qualified plumber.

Reverse Osmosis Water Supply

IMPORTANT: The pressure of the water supply coming out of a

reverse osmosis system going to the water inlet valve of the

refrigerator needs to be between 30 and 120 psi (207 and

827 kPa).

If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is connected to your

cold water supply, the water pressure to the reverse osmosis

system needs to be a minimum of 40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa).

If the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system is less than

40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa):

• Check to see whether the sediment filter in the reverse

osmosis system is blocked. Replace the filter if necessary.

• Allow the storage tank on the reverse osmosis system to refill

after heavy usage.

If your refrigerator has a water filter, it may further reduce the

water pressure when used in conjunction with a reverse

osmosis system. Remove the water filter. See "Water

Filtration System."

If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed,

qualified plumber.

6. 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 slowly and

evenly so the washer makes a watertight seal. Do not

overtighten or you may crush the copper tubing.

7. 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.

8. 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

1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

2. Remove and discard the black nylon plug from the gray water

tube on the rear of the refrigerator.

3. If the gray water tube supplied with the refrigerator is not long

enough, a 1/4"x 1/4"(6.35 mm x 6.35 mm) coupling is needed

in 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.

Read all directions before you begin.

IMPORTANT: If you turn the refrigerator on before the water line

is connected, turn the ice maker OFF

Connect to Water Line

1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

2. Turn OFF main water supply. Turn ON nearest faucet long

enough to clear line of water.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. Using a cordless drill, drill a 1/4"(6.35 mm) hole in the cold

water pipe you have selected.

Depending on your model, your water and ice dispensers may

have one or more of the following features: a water level indicator

in the dispenser tray, a special light that turns on when you use

the dispenser, or a lock option to avoid unintentional dispensing.

NOTES:

• The dispensing system will not operate when the freezer door

is open.

After connecting the refrigerator to a water source, flush the

water system. Use a sturdy container to depress and hold the

water dispenser lever for 5 seconds, then release it for

5 seconds. Repeat until water begins to flow. Once water

begins to flow, continue depressing and releasing the

dispenser lever (5 seconds on, 5 seconds off) for an

additional 2 minutes. This will flush air from the filter and

water dispensing system. Additional flushing may be required

in some households. As air is cleared from the system, water

may spurt out of the dispenser.

• Allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to cool down and chill

water.

• Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the

first three batches of ice produced.

O-rings are still in place after the covers are removed.

6. Push the filter into the base grille. The eject button will pop

back out when the filter is fully engaged.

7. Flush the water system. See "Water and Ice Dispensers."

REFRIGERATOR CARE

Explosion Hazard

Use nonflammable cleaner.

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 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.

To Clean Your 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.

1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

2. Hand wash, rinse, and dry removable parts and interior

surfaces thoroughly. Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a

mild detergent in warm water.

Wash stainless steel and painted metal exteriors with a clean

sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water.

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.

If you need to clean the condenser:

Remove the base grille.

Use a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush to clean the grille,

the open areas behind the grille and the front surface area

of the condenser.

• Replace the base grille when finished.

Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.

NOTE: Not all bulbs will fit your refrigerator. Be sure to replace

the bulb with one of the same size, shape and wattage. On some

models, the dispenser light requires a heavy duty 10-watt bulb.

All other lights require a 40-watt bulb. Replacement bulbs are

available from your dealer.

1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

2. Remove light shield when applicable.

NOTE: To clean the light shield, wash it with warm water and

liquid detergent. Rinse and dry the shield well.

3. Remove light bulb and replace with one of the same size,

shape and wattage.

4. Replace light shield when applicable.

5. Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.
