About
CiimateKeeper2. TM (on some models)
How it Works
TheCfimateKeeper2TM isthe industrg's
most advanced refrigeration sgstem,
deliveringoptimum temperature and
humiditg performance to keepfood garden
fresh longer and reduce freezer burn,while
maintaining efficiencg.
TheClimateKeeper2 sgstem features two
evaporators-one for the refrigerator and
one for the freezer.
This providestwo separate cooling sgstems,
and separates the airflow between the fresh
food and freezer compartments during normal
coolingoperations.*
This ensuresthat the humiditg levelsin
the fresh food compartment are significantlg
higher than in a conventional sgstem,** allowing
fresh produce and other unsealedfoods to retain
their moisture content and freshnesslonger.
Moisturesensitivefoods such as fresh fruit,
salads,rice,etc.,can now be stored on open
shelveswithout excessivemoisture loss.Dueto
the higher humiditg inthe refrigerator,gou mag
on occasion experience fog or small amounts of
moisture in the refrigerator compartment. This is
normal and mag come and go asdifferent food
loadsand environmental conditions change.
Wipe drg with a paper towel if desired.
The separateairflow sgstem minimizesthe mixing
of air between thetwo compartments, which
reducesfresh food odor transfer to improve
the taste of ice.
The ClimateKeeper2 sgstem also reduces
the number of defrosting cgcles in the freezer
evaporator,therebg reducing freezer burn.

to the water supply,set the power switch
to the I position.
Youwill hear a buzzingsoundeach time
the icemakerfillswith water.
Pull the upper freezer shelf straight
out to access the icemaker. Always
be sure to replace the shelf The
shelf can be used for storage.
-& WARNING:Connectto potable
water supply only. Installation of the icemaker
must be done bg a qualified service technician.
Theicemakerwillfillwith water when it cools
to - 10°C.A newly-installedrefrigeratormay take
12to 2/4hoursto begin making icecubes.
Special note about ClimateKeeper2 T"dispenser
models:
Dispenser models have a tilt-out ice bin.
The bin can be tilted out asshown in
the illustrations, and it will hold itself up while
you take ice out or turn the icemaker power
switch on and off. Besure to put the bin back
in place before closing the door.
_To restoreyour icelevelfrom an empty bucket
stage,thefollowing stepsare recommended:
O 12 hours after the first batch of icehasfallen
intothe bin,dispense 3 to 4 cubes.
O After an additional 6 hours, dispense3 to/4
cubes again.
These stepswill restore your ice level
in the shortest amount of time.
On dispenser models with a tilt-out ice bin, to
access ice or reach the power switch:
Throw away the first few batches of iceto allow
the water line to clear.
Besure nothing interfereswith the sweep
of the feelerarm.
When the bin fills to the levelofthe feelerarm,
the icemaker will stop producing ice. It isnormal
for several cubes to bejoined together. If ice is
not usedfrequently, old icecubes will become
cloudy,taste stale and shrink.
If icecubes get stuck in the icemaker,the green
power lightwill blink.Tocorrect this,setthe
power switch to O and remove the cubes.
Setthe power switch to I to restart the icemaker.
After the icemaker hasbeen turned on again,
there will be a delay of about/45 minutes before
the icemaker resumesoperation.
NOTE:Inhomes with !ower-than-avemge water
pressure,gou mag hear the icemakercgcle
multiple times when making one batch of ice.
o Lift the bin, then pull it forward until the bin stops.
o ower the bin to access ice or reach the power

Installation Instructions
INSTALLING THE WATER LINE
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
The water line installation is not warranted by the
refrigerator or icemaker manufacturer. Follow these
recommendations carefully to minimize the risk of
expensive water damage.
Water hammer (water banging in the pipes)in house
plumbing can cause damage to refrigerator parts and
lead to water leakage or flooding. Call a qualified
plumber to correct water hammer before installing
the water supply line to the refrigerator.
To prevent burns and product damage, do not hook
up the water line to the hot water line.
If you use your refrigerator before connecting
the water line, make sure the icemaker power
switch is in the 0 loft} position.
Do not install the icemaker tubing in areas where
temperatures fall below freezing.
When using any electrical device (such as a power drill)
during installation, be sure the device is insulated or
wired in a manner to prevent the hazard of electric
shock.
All installations must be in accordance with local
plumbing code requirements.
Installation of the icemaker must be done bg
a qualified service technician.
_I_ WAR N I N G ! Connect to potable water
supply only.
i-£] CONNECT THE TUBING TO THE
REFRIGERATOR
NOTES:
• Before making the connection to the refrigerator,
be sure the refrigerator power cord is not plugged
into the wall outlet.
• We recommend installing a water filter 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.

Normal operating sounds.
Newer refrigerators sound different from older refrigerators.
Modem refrigerators have more features and use newer
technology.
Do gou hear what i hear? These sounds are normal.
HUMMM.,, WHIB!
-- WHOOSH,..
m The new high efficiency compressor may run faster
and longer than your old refrigerator and you may
hear a high-pitched hum or pulsating sound while
it is operating.
m Sometimes the refrigerator runsfor an extended period,
especiallywhen the doors are opened frequently. This
means that the Frost Guard'" feature isworking to
prevent freezer burn and improve food preservation.
m Youmay hear a whooshing sound when the doors close.
Thisisdue to pressureequalizing within the refrigerator.
CLICKS, POPS,
CRACKS and CHIRPS
m You may hear cracking or popping sounds when
the refrigerator is first plugged in.This happens as
the refrigerator cools to the correct temperature.
m Electronic dampers click open and closed to provide
optimal cooling and energy savings.
m The compressor may cause a clicking or chirping
sound when attempting to restart (this could take
up to 5 minutes).
m The electronic control board may cause a clicking
sound when relays activate to control refrigerator
components.
m Expansion and contraction of cooling coils during and
after defrost can cause a cracking or popping sound.
m On models with an icemaker, after an icemaking
cycle, you may hear the ice cubes dropping into
the ice bucket.
m You may hear the fans spinning at high speeds.
This happens when the refrigerator isfirst 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.
m If either door is open for over 3 minutes, you may hear
the fans come on in order to cool the light bulbs.
m The fans change speeds in order to provide optimal
cooling and energy savings.
m You may hear the fan running after selecting one
of the CustomCool'" settings.
WATER SDUMDS
6
m The flow of refrigerant through the freezer cooling coils
may make a gurgling noise like boiling water.
m Water dropping on the defrost heater can cause
a sizzling, popping or buzzing sound during the
defrost cycle.
m A water dripping noise may occur during the defrost
cycle as ice melts from the evaporator and flows into
the drain pan.
m Closing the door may cause a gurgling sound due to
pressure equalization.

Installing the Water Line
For Australian and New Zealand installation, read these instructions completely and carefully.
Before You Begin
,:IMPORTANT: Government legislation and Codes
in most States and Territories of Australia
require installation by a licensed plumber.
The installation must conform to Australian
Standard AS3500.! Water supply.
_Water hammer (water bonging in the pipes)
in house plumbing con cause damage to the
refrigerator ports and lead to water leakage
or flooding. Call a qualified plumber to correct
water hammer before installing the water supply
line to the refrigerator.
,:To prevent burns and refrigerator damage, do not
hook up the water line to the hot water line.
If you use your refrigerator before connecting the
water line, make sure the icemaker power switch
is set to the O position.
Do not install the icemaker tubing in areas where
the temperatures fall below freezing.
Shut Off the Main Water Supply
For models fitted with an icemaker, a water supply
kit (containing flexible tubing and fittings)is supplied
with the refrigerator.
The water pressure must be between 138 and
827 kPoon models without o water filter fitted
and between 275 and 827 kPa on models with
a water filter fitted.
Turn Offthe water and open a low tap to drain
the water from the pipe.
Complying with the plumbing codes, install a suitable
branch fitting (not supplied) to the cold water supply.
Extend the branch to a suitable location adjacent
to the refrigerator when it is located in its operating
position. Terminate the branch with a shutoff valve
(not supplied).
IMPORTANT:The shut-off valve should be accessible
(such as in an adjacent cupboard, as close to the wall
as possible) when the refrigerator is in its normal
operating position.
If your water supply pressure is higher than 690 kPa
during the day (ifso, it may reach higher levels
at night), install a suitable Pressure limiting valve
(not supplied), after the shut-off valve, making sure
the "flow arrows" on the body of the device face
the same direction as the water flow.
If necessary, assemble a suitable fitting (not supplied)
to the up-stream end of the shutoff valve (or pressure
limiting valve) for attachment of the fitting supplied
with the water supply kit.
NOTE:PTFEtape should be used for a water tight seal
when assembling all the above fittings.
Donot turn the water supply On at this time.

IMPORTANT:Always operate the Refrigerator from
a power source of the same Voltage, Frequency and
Rating as indicated on the Refrigerator Identification
Plate. Operate the Refrigerator from an Earthed
(Grounded) 5 Pin Power Outlet fully accessible when
the refrigerator is located in its normal operating
position.
Arrange the coil of tubing so that it does not
vibrate against the back of the refrigerator or
against the wall.
Pushthe refrigerator back to the wall, making sure
the power cord and the water line tubing are not
trapped, entangled or squashed bu the refrigerator
(including the wheels) or wall.
Start the Icemaker
Set the icemaker power switch to the I position.
