Door opening
Your refrigerator should be positioned to allow easy
access to a counter when removing food. For best
use of drawers and freezer baskets, the refrigerator
should be in a position where both the refrigerator
and freezer doors can be fully opened.
Guidelines for final positioning of your
refrigerator:
= All four corners of the cabinet must rest firmly
on the floor.
The cabinet should be level at the front and
rear.
The sides should tilt 1Ainch (6 mm) from front
to back (to ensure that doors close and seal
properly).
Doors should align with each other and be
level.
All of these conditions can be met by
raising or lowering the adjustable front
rollers.
To level the cabinet using the front rollers:
1 Open both doors and remove the toe grille
(see "Toe Grille Installation and Removal"
in the "installation" section).
2 Close the doors and use a flat-blade
screwdriver or ¾ inch socket wrench to raise
or lower the front rollers.
3 Ensure both doors are bind-free with their
seals touching the cabinet on all four sides.

Automatic ice & Water ker/Dispenser
Priming the water supply
Your refrigerator's water supply system includes
several tubing lines, an advanced water filter,
a distribution valve bank, and a reserve tank to
ensure ample supply to the ice and water dispenser
at all times. This system needs to be completely
filled with water when first connected to an external
supply line.
Using the ice maker after installation
Before making ice for the first 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 flushed,
the first ice cubes may be discolored or have an
odd flavor.
To prime the water supply system:
1 Begin filling the tank by pressing and holding
a drinking glass against the water dispenser
paddle.
2Keep the glass in this position until water
comes out of the dispenser, it may take
about 11/2minutes.
3Continue dispensing water for about three
minutes to flush the system and plumbing
connections of any impurities (stopping to
empty the glass as necessary).
Ice maker operation & care
The ice maker, ice bin, and dispenser feeding
mechanism are located in the top of the freezer
compartment. After the refrigerator is installed
properly and has cooled for several hours, the
ice maker can produce ice within 24 hours. It can
completely fill an ice bin in about two days.
The ice maker produces four to six pounds of ice
every 24 hours depending on usage conditions. Ice
is produced at a rate of eight cubes every 75 to 90
minutes.
Turning the ice maker on and off
Ice production is controlled by the ice maker's
On/Off power switch. To gain access to the ice
maker, pull the extra shelf out (some models).
Press the switch to the "O" position to turn it Off
and press to the 'T' position to turn it On.
Automatic ice & Water aker/Dispenser
Turn off the ice maker when cleaning the
freezer and during vacations.
If you turn off the ice maker for a long
period of time, you should also turn off the
water supply valve.
ice maker/dispenser tips
= Ice cubes stored too long may develop
an odd flavor. Empty the ice container as
explained below.
• Occasionally shake the ice container to keep
ice separated.
= If your refrigerator is not connected to a
water supply or the water supply is turned off,
turn off the ice maker by pressing the On/Off
switch.
= If you need a large quantity of ice at one
time, it is best to get cubes directly from the
ice container.
= The following sounds are normal when the
ice maker is operating:
Motor running
Ice dropping into ice container
- Water valve opening or closing
Ice loosening from tray
Running water
• When dispensing ice, you will hear a
snapping or clicking sound when the ice
chute opens and closes.
Cleaning the ice maker
Clean the ice maker and ice bin at regular intervals,
particularly before you take a vacation or move.
To clean the ice maker:
1 Turn off ice production by pressing the ice
maker's Off/On switch.
2
3

mild detergent. Rinse with clear water. Do not
use harsh or abrasive cleaners.
4 Allow the ice bin to dry completely before
replacing in the freezer.
5 Remove ice chips and clean the ice bin shelf
and the freezer door chute.
6 Replace the ice bin. Press the ice maker's
Off/On switch to resume ice production.
Remove and empty the ice storage bin
if:
= An extended power failure (one hour or
longer) causes ice cubes in the ice storage
bin to melt and freeze together, 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 storage bin and shake to loosen
the cubes or clean as explained above.

Locating the fi ters
Your refrigerator is equipped with separate water
and air filtering systems. The water filter system
filters all dispensed drinking water, as well as
the water used to produce ice. The air filter
removes odors and impurities from the refrigerator
compartment.
Water filter
The water filter is located at the top right side of the
fresh food compartment.
Air filter
The air filter is located at the top of the fresh food
compartment next to the water filter.
Repmacin9 the air fi ter
In general, you should change the air filter every
six months (the filter status light on the Touch Panel
prompts you to replace the filter after six months)
to ensure optimal filtering of refrigerator odors. You
may want to adjust this time period depending on
the types and amounts of food you typically store in
your refrigerator. To replace your PureAdvantage TM

Storing Food & Savin 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° E
Avoid overcrowding the refrigerator shelves,
which reduces air circulation and causes
uneven cooling.
Fruits and vegetables
Store fruits and vegetables in crisper
drawers, where trapped moisture helps
preserve food quality for longer time periods.
Meat
Wrap raw meat and poultry securely so
leakage and contamination of other foods or
surfaces does not occur.
Use the meat keeper drawer 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 efficiently when it is
at least ¾ 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-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
•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.
•Avoid storing hard-to-freeze foods on the
freezer door shelves. These foods are best
stored in the freezer interior where the
temperature varies less.
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 efficiently.
• Level the refrigerator so that the doors close
tightly.
Temperature settings
= Refer to the "Controls" section in this Use &
Care Guide 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.

Care & Cleanin
Protecting your investment
Keeping your refrigerator clean maintains appearance and prevents odor build-up. Wipe up any spills
immediately and clean the freezer and fresh food compartments at least twice a year. When cleaning,
take the following precautions:
Never use metallic scouring pads, brushes, abrasive cleaners or strong alkaline solutions on any
surface.
• Never use CHLORIDE or cleaners with bleach to clean stainless steel.
Do not wash any removable parts in a dishwasher.
Always unplug the electrical power cord from the wall outlet before cleaning.
Remove adhesive labels by hand. Do not use razor blades or other sharp instruments which can
