Youwill be killed or seriously injured if you do not follow instructions.
You can be killed or seriously injured if you do not follow instructions.
Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
result in minor or moderate injury, or product damage only.
All safety messages will identify the hazard, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can
happen if the instructions are not followed.
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or
personal injury when using your product, basic
safety precautions should be followed, including
the following.
Read all instructions before using this appliance.
• NEVER unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the
power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull it
straight out from the outlet.
• Repair or replace immediately all electric service
cords that have become frayed or otherwise
damaged. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or
abrasion damage along its length or at either the
plug or connector end.
• Do not modify or extend the power cord length. It
could cause electric shock or fire.
• When moving your refrigerator away from the wall,
be careful not to roll over or damage the power
cord.
• DO NOT store or use gasoline or other flammable
vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other
appliance.
• DO NOT allow children to climb, stand, or hang on
the refrigerator doors or shelves in the refrigerator.
They could damage the refrigerator and seriously
injure themselves.
• Keep fingers out of pinch point areas; clearances
between the doors and cabinet are necessarily
small. Be careful closing doors when children are in
the area.
Unplug your refrigerator before cleaning or making
any repairs.
NOTE:We strongly recommend that any servicing
be performed by a qualified individual.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

•Before replacing a burned-out light bulb, unplug
the refrigerator or turn off power at the circuit
breaker or fuse box in order to avoid contact with a
live wire filament. (A burned-out light bulb may
break when being replaced.)
NOTE: Some models have LED interior lighting
and service should be performed by a qualified
technician.
• When you are finished, reconnect the refrigerator to
the electrical source and reset the controls.
(Thermostat, Refrigerator Control, and or Freezer
Control, depending on the model) to the desired
setting.
• This refrigerator must be properly installed in
accordance with the Attention Installer
Instructions that were taped to the front of the
refrigerator.
• After your refrigerator is in operation, do not touch
the cold surfaces in the freezer compartment when
hands are damp or wet. Skin may adhere to the
extremely cold surfaces.
In refrigerators with automatic icemakers, 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 icemaking mechanism
while the refrigerator is plugged in.
DO NOT refreeze frozen foods which have thawed
completely. The United States Department of
Agriculture in Home and Garden Bulletin No. 69
says:
...You may safely refreeze frozen foods that have
thawed if they still contain ice crystals or if they are
still cold-- below 4°C.
...Thawed ground meats, poultry or fish that have
any off-odor or off-color should not be refrozen and
should not be eaten. Thawed ice cream should be
discarded. If the odor or color of any food is poor
or questionable, dispose of it. The food may be
dangerous to eat.
Even partial thawing and refreezing reduces the
eating quality of foods, particularly fruits,
vegetables and prepared foods. The eating quality
of red meats is affected less than that of many
other foods. Use refrozen foods as soon as
possible to save as much of their quality as you
can.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or
instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not
play with the appliance.
Junked or abandoned refrigerators are
dangerous...even if they will sit for just a few days. If
you are getting rid of your old refrigerator, please
follow the instructions at right to help prevent
accidents (Child entrapment and suffocation).
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.
Your old refrigerator may have a cooling system that
used CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons). CFCs are
believed to harm stratospheric ozone.
If you are throwing away your old refrigerator, make
sure the CFC refrigerant is removed for proper
disposal by a qualified servicer. If you intentionally
release this CFC refrigerant, you can be subject to
fines and imprisonment under provisions of
environmental legislation.
IMPORTANT: Please read carefully.
TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY
Electrical Shock Hazard
FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, this appliance must
be properly grounded. Have the wall outlet and
the circuit checked by a qualified electrician to
make sure the outlet is properly grounded.
3-prong
grounding
plug
3-prong
grounding type
wall receptacle _ k,./_--_,
_Ensure proper
_}_ ground exists
/// before use.
RECOMMENDED GROUNDING METHOD
The refrigerator should always be plugged into its
own individual properly grounded electrical outlet
rated for 115 Volts, 60 Hz, AC only, and fused at 15
or 20 amperes. This provides the best performance
and also prevents overloading house wiring circuits
which could cause a fire hazard from overheated
wires. It is recommended that a separate circuit
serving only this appliance be provided.
Use a receptacle which cannot be turned off with a
switch or pull chain. Do not use an extension cord.
Where a standard two-prong wall outlet is
encountered, it is your personal responsibility and
obligation to have it replaced with a properly
grounded three-prong wall outlet.
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove
the third (ground) prong from the power cord.
Do not use an adapter plug.
NOTE: Before performing any type of installation,
cleaning, or removing a light bulb, disconnect the
refrigerator from the electrical source.
NOTE: Some models have LED interior lighting and
service should be performed by a qualified
technician.
When you are are finished, reconnect the refrigerator
to the electrical source and reset the control
(Thermostat, Refrigerator Control, or Freezer
Control, depending on the model) to the desired
setting.
USE OF EXTENSION CORDS
Because of potential safety hazards under certain
conditions, we strongly recommend against the use
of an extension cord. However, if you still elect to use
an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it
be a UL-listed (USA), 3-wire grounding type
appliance extension cord having a grounding type
plug and outlet, and that the electrical rating of the
cord be 15 amperes (minimum) and 120 volts.
Use of an extension cord will increase the clearance
needed for the back of the refrigerator.

LEVELING AND DOOR ALIGNMENT
Leveling
After installing, secure the stability of the product
with the leveling legs.
Your refrigerator has two front leveling legs--one on
the right and one on the left. Adjust legs to alter tilt
from front-to-back or side-to-side. If your refrigerator
seems unsteady or you want the doors to close
easier, adjust the refrigerator's tilt using the
instructions below:
1. Plug the refrigerator's power cord into a 3-prong
grounded outlet. Move the refrigerator into its final
position. Remove the base cover.
To remove the base cover
1) Open the Freezer Drawer. (Drawer not shown
for clarity.)
2) Once the drawer is open and there is sufficient
clearance, remove screws on the top of the
cover.
To replace base cover:
• Place cover into position
and insert and tighten
the screws.
2. Turn the leveling leg clockwise to raise that side of
the refrigerator or counterclockwise to lower it.
It may take several turns of the leveling leg to
adjust the tilt of the refrigerator.
NOTE: Having someone push backward against
the top of the refrigerator takes some weight off
the leveling legs. This makes it easier to adjust the
legs.
=
=
5.
Open both doors again and check to make sure
that they close easily. If not, tilt the refrigerator
slightly more to the rear by turning both leveling
legs clockwise. It may take several more turns,
and you should turn both leveling legs the same
amount.
Re-adjust if necessary.
Replace the base cover.
NOTE: Your new refrigerator is uniquely designed
with two fresh food doors. Either door can be
opened or closed independently of one another.
You may have to exert slight pressure on doors to
get them to close completely.
Door Alignment
If the space between your doors is uneven, follow
the instructions below to align the doors:
1. With one hand, lift up the door you want to raise at
the middle hinge.
2. With the other hand, use pliers to insert the snap
ring as shown below.
3. Insert additional snap rings until the doors are
aligned. (Three snap rings are provided with the
refrigerator in the Use & Care Guide packet.)
Level the refrigerator by using an 11/16 inch (18mm) wrench
or a ftat blade screwdriver. Turn the leveling tegs
counterclockwise to raise or clockwise to lower the height of
the front of the refrigerator.
NOTE: The front of the refrigerator should be slightly higher
than the back.
17
SETTING THE CONTROLS
Temperature
• Your refrigerator has a control pad above the
refrigerator compartment that lets you regulate the
temperature in the freezer and refrigerator
compartments.
• Initially set the refrigerator control at 37°F (3°C) and
the freezer control at 0°F (-18°C). Leave it at these
settings for 24 hours (one day) to stabilize. Adjust
the compartment temperature as desired.
•Refrigerator Temp Control: 33°F to 46°F
(0°C to 8°C) The lower the number setting, the
colder the refrigerator compartment will become.
• Freezer Temp Control: -6°F to 8°F
(-21°C to-13°C) The lower the number setting, the
colder the freezer compartment will become.
CAUTION
Demo Mode (Store showroom floor Demonstration
Mode)
The Demo Mode disables all cooling in the refrigerator
and freezer sections to conserve energy while on
display in a retail store.
1. To Activate:
With the refrigerator door opened, press and hold the
Refrigerator Temp and Ultra Ice buttons at the same
time for 5 seconds. The control panel will beep to
confirm that the Demo Mode is activated.
2. To Deactivate:
With the refrigerator door opened, press and hold the
Refrigerator Temp and Ultra Ice buttons at the same
time for 5 seconds. The control panel will beep to
confirm the Demo Mode is deactivated.
Ultra Ice
• When you press the Ultra Ice button, the graphic
[ _;:;::_- ] will light up in the display and it continues
for 24 hours. It will automatically shut off after 24
hours have passed. You can stop this function
manually by pressing the button one more time.
• This function increases both icemaking and
freezing capabilities.
Door Alarm
• When power is connected to the refrigerator,
the door alarm is initially set to ........_oo;-_A,o,m/ON and door
alarm display will show the ..........
Alarm } (ON).
• When either refrigerator or the freezer door is left
open for more than 60 seconds, the alarm will
sound to let you know the door is open.
• When you close the door, the door alarm will stop.
• If you want to disable the door alarm function,
press the I ,?o,;;,l b utton and the door alarm display
will switch to A,o,m°°°'(OFF).
Airflow
In order to ensure proper temperatures, air must flow
between the refrigerator and freezer sections. The
arrows in the figure indicates air vent locations and
the direction of airflow.
Do not block any of the cool air vents with food
packages. If the vents are blocked, airflow will be
interrupted. This may result in temperature and
moisture problems.
If you add a large amount of food, the refrigerator will
take longer to cool it.
At initial start-up allow your refrigerator to run for 2 or
3 hours before placing food in it.
18
ADJUSTING CONTROL SETTINGS
It is best to wait for 24 hours for the refrigerator to
cool down completely before before making any
adjustments to the temperature settings. The initial
settings mentioned in SETTING THE CONTROLS
section should be correct for normal household
refrigerator use. The controls are set correctly when
milk or juice is as cold as you like and when ice
cream is firm.
The refrigerator control functions as the thermostat
for the entire appliance (refrigerator and freezer
sections). The colder the setting, the longer the
compressor will run to keep the temperature colder.
The freezer control adjusts the cold air flow from the
freezer to the refrigerator. Setting the freezer control
to a lower temperature keeps more cold air in the
freezer compartment to make it colder.
If you need to adjust temperatures in the refrigerator
or freezer, start by adjusting the refrigerator and
allow 24 hours for the temperatures to stabilize. If it
is still too warm or too cold, adjust the freezer
control.
Always remember to wait at least 24 hours
between adjustments.

REFRIGERATOR SECTION
REFRIGERATOR SHELVES
The shelves in your refrigerator are adjustable to
meet your individual storage needs. Your model may
have glass or wire shelves.
Storing similar food items together in your
refrigerator and adjusting the shelves to fit different
heights of items will make finding the exact item you
want easier; it will also reduce the amount of time
the refrigerator door is open, saving energy.
IMPORTANT: Do not clean glass shelves with warm
water while they are cold. Shelves may break if
exposed to sudden temperature changes or impact,
such as bumping. For your protection, glass shelves
are made with tempered glass, which will shatter into
small pebble-sized pieces.
NOTE: Glass shelves are heavy. Use special care
when removing them to avoid dropping them.
_, CAUTION: Make sure that shelves are level from
one side to the other. Failure to do so may result
in the shelf falling or spilling food.

26
Personal Injury Hazard
DO NOT place fingers or hands in the automatic
icemaking mechanism while the refrigerator is
plugged in.
OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
A newly-installed refrigerator may take
12 to 24 hours to begin making ice.
Automatic Power Switch
Shut off Arm
The icemaker will produce 12 cubes per cycle--
approximately 100 cubes in a 24-hour period,
depending on freezer compartment temperature,
room temperature, number of door openings and
other operating conditions.
If the refrigerator is used before the water connection
is made to the icemaker, set the power switch to
Off (O).
When the refrigerator has been connected to the
water supply, set the power switch to On (I).
The icemaker will fill with water when it cools to
freezing. A newly-installed refrigerator may take
12 to 24 hours to begin making ice cubes.
Discard the first few batches of ice to allow the water
line to clear.
Be sure nothing interferes with the sweep of the
Automatic Shut off Arm.
When the bin fills to the level of the Automatic Shut
off Arm, the icemaker will stop producing ice.
It is normal for several cubes to be stuck together.
If ice is not used frequently, old ice cubes will
become cloudy, taste stale, and shrink.
WHEN YOU SHOULD SET THE ICEMAKER
POWER SWITCH TO OFF (O)
• When the water supply will be shut off for several
hours.
• When the ice storage bin is removed for more than
a minute or two.
• When the refrigerator will not be used for several
days.
NORMAL SOUNDS YOU MAY HEAR
• The icemaker water valve will buzz as the icemaker
fills with water.
NOTE: If the house water supply (cold water only)
is not hooked up or not turned on fully, turn the
icemaker to the Off (0) position to prevent noise
and possible damage. Do not turn the icemaker
On (I) until an adequate water supply is connected.
• You will hear the sound of cubes dropping into the
bin and water running in the pipes as the icemaker
refills.
PREPARING FOR VACATION
Set the icemaker power switch to Off (O) and shut
off the water supply to the refrigerator.
If the ambient temperature will drop below freezing,
have a qualified servicer drain the water supply
system to prevent serious property damage due to
flooding from ruptured water lines or connections.
27
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
This water line installation is not warranted by the
refrigerator or icemaker manufacturer or retailer.
Follow these instructions 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 Off (0) 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 double-
insulated or grounded in a manner to prevent the
hazard of electric shock, or is battery-powered.
If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is
connected to your cold water supply, this water line
installation is not warranted by the refrigerator or
icemaker manufacturer or retailer. Follow next
instructions carefully to minimize the risk of
expensive water damage.
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 (2.8 kgf/cm 2 ~ 4.2 kgf/cm 2,
less than 2.0~3.0sec to fill a cup of 7oz capacity).
If the water pressure from the reverse osmosis
system is less than 21 psi (1.5 kgf/cm _, more than
4.0sec to fill a cup of 7oz capacity):
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 the issue about water pressure from reverse
osmosis remains, call a licensed, qualified plumber.
All installations must be in accordance with local
plumbing code requirements.
NOTE: Wear eye protection.
WHAT YOU WILL NEED .,_
• Copper Tubing, 1/4" outer diameter
to connect the refrigerator to the //
water supply. Be sure both ends of //"
the tubing are cut square.
To determine how much tubing you need, measure
the distance from the water valve on the back of the
refrigerator to the water supply pipe. Then add 8 feet
(2.4 m). Be sure there is sufficient extra tubing
(about 8 feet [2.4 m] coiled into 3 turns of about 10"
[25 cm] diameter) to allow the refrigerator to move
out from the wall after installation.
A cold water supply. The water pressure must be
between 20 and 120 p.s.i, on models without a
water filter and between 40 and 120 p.s.i, on
models with a water filter.
Power drill.
1/2" or adjustable wrench.
Straight- and Phillips-
blade screwdriver.
Two 1/4" outer diameter
compression nuts and
2ferrules (sleeves) to
connect the copper tubing
to the shutoff valve and the refrigerator water valve.
If your existing copper water
line has a flared fitting at the
end, you will need an
adapter (available at
plumbing supply stores) to
connect the water line to the refrigerator OR you
can cut off the flared fitting with a tube cutter and
then use a compression fitting.
Shutoff valve to connect
to the cold water line.
The shutoff valve should
have a water inlet with a
minimum inside diameter
of 5/32" at the point of
connection to the COLD WATER LINE. Saddle-type
shutoff valves are included in many water supply
kits. Before purchasing, make sure a saddle-type
valve complies with your local plumbing codes.
NOTE: Self Piercing Saddle Type Water Valve
should not be used.
28
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Install the shutoff valve on the nearest frequently
used drinking water line.
1. SHUT OFF THE MAIN WATER SUPPLY
Turn on the nearest faucet to relieve the pressure
on the line.
2. CHOOSE THE VALVE 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.
3. DRILL THE HOLE FOR THE VALVE
Drill a 1/4" hole in the water
pipe using a sharp bit. Remove 1_1
any burrs resulting from drilling J_ I
the hole in the pipe. Take care _ I
not to allow water to drain into J_Y 1 I
the drill. Failure to drill a 1/4"
hole may result in reduced ice production or
smaller cubes.
NOTE: The hookup line cannot be white, plastic
tubing. Licensed plumbers must use only copper
tubing NDA tubing #49595 or 49599 or Cross
Link Polyethylene(PEX) tubing.
4. FASTEN THE SHUTOFF VALVE
5. TIGHTEN THE PIPE CLAMP
Tighten the clamp screws until the sealing washer
begins to swell.

UNDERSTANDING SOUNDS YOU MAY HEAR
Your new refrigerator may make sounds that your old
one did not make. Because the sounds are new to
you, you might be concerned about them. Most of
the new sounds are normal. Hard surfaces, like the
floor, walls and cabinets, can make the sounds seem
louder than they actually are. The following list
describes the kinds of sounds and what may be
making them.
• A clicking noise may come from the electronic
control switching the cooling system on and off.
• Rattling noises may come from the flow of
refrigerant, the water line, or items stored on top of
the refrigerator.
• Your refrigerator is designed to run more efficiently
to keep your food items at the desired temperature.
The high efficiency compressor may cause your
new refrigerator to run longer than your old one,
but is still more energy efficient than previous
models. While running, you may hear a pulsating or
high-pitched sound, this is normal.
• You may hear the evaporator fan motor circulating
the air through the refrigerator and freezer
compartments.
As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling
sound due to the refrigerant flowing in your
refrigerator.
• Contraction and expansion of the inside walls may
cause a popping noise.
• Water dripping on the defrost heater during a
defrost cycle may cause a sizzling sound.
• You may hear air being forced over the condenser
by the condenser fan.
• You may hear water running into the drain pan
during the defrost cycle.
You can hear the noise occurring from the ice
compartment fan in the freezer or the left side of
the refrigerator when doors are open.

THERE IS WATER IN THE DEFROST DRAIN PAN
Then...
The water will evaporate. It is normal for water to drip into the
defrost pan.
It is more humid than normal. Expect that the water in the defrost pan will take longer to
evaporate. This is normal when it is hot or humid.

THE REFRIGERATOR SEEMS TO MAKE TOO MUCH NOISE
Check if... Then...
The sounds may be normal for your refrigerator. Refer to the Understanding Sounds You May Hear section
on page 31.
THE ICEMAKER IS NOT PRODUCING ICE OR NOT ENOUGH ICE
Check if... Then...
New installation.
The refrigerator is not connected to a water
supply or the supply shutoff valve is not turned
on.
Reverse osmosis water filtration system is
connected to your cold water supply.
Kink in the water source line.
Large amount of ice recently has been
removed.
The icemaker is not turned on.
There is something on the ice-detecting
sensor.
The temperature setting for the freezer is too
warm.
The doors are opened often.
The doors are not closing properly.
The ice compartment door is not closing
properly.
Wait 24 hours after ice maker installation for ice production to
begin. Wait 72 hours for full ice production.
Connect refrigerator to the water supply and turn water shutoff
valve fully open.
Reverse osmosis filtration systems can reduce the water
pressure below the minimum amount (20 psi) and result in
icemaker issues.
A kink in the line can reduce water flow. Straighten the water
source line.
Allow 24 hours for ice maker to produce more ice.
Locate the icemaker on/off switch and confirm it is in the On (I)
position.
Foreign substances or frost on the ice-detecting sensor can
interrupt ice production. Make sure the sensor area is clean at
all times for proper operation.
Below 0°F is the recommended temperature for the freezer
compartment for normal ice production. If the freezer
temperature is warmer, ice production will be affected.
If the doors of the unit are opened often, the cold air will
escape which will prevent the unit from maintaining the set
temperature. Lowering the temperature can help, as well as
not opening the doors as frequently.
If the doors are not properly closed, ice production will be
affected.
If the ice compartment door is not properly closed, ice
production will be affected. Make sure ice compartment door is
closed for proper operation.
Ultra Ice is not selected. With this option, the cold air in the compartment is increased
as is ice production.
34
THE DOORS ARE DIFFICULT TO OPEN
Check if...
The gaskets are dirty or sticky.
The door is reopened within a short time after
having been opened.
Then...
Clean the gaskets and the surfaces that they touch. Rub a thin
coat of appliance polish or kitchen wax on the gaskets after
cleaning.
When you open the door, warmer air enters the refrigerator.
As the warm air cools, it can create a vacuum. If the door is
hard to open, wait 5 minutes to allow the air pressure to
equalize, then see if it opens more easily.
TEMPERATURE IS TOO WARM OR THERE IS INTERIOR MOISTURE BUILDUP
Checkif... Then...
The air vents are blocked. Cold air circulates from
the freezer to the fresh food section and back
again through air vents in the wall dividing the two
sections.
The doors are opened often.
The control is not set correctly for the surrounding
conditions.
Locate air vents by using your hand to sense airflow and move
all packages that block vents and restrict airflow. (See air flow
diagram below).
When the door is opened, warm humid air is allowed into the
refrigerator. The more the door is opened, the faster the
humidity builds up, and the more warm air the refrigerator must
cool. In order to keep the refrigerator cool, try to get everything
you need out of the refrigerator at once, keep food organized
so it is easy to find and close the door as soon as the food is
removed.
Refer to the Setting the Controls section on page 18.
Wait 24 hours for temperatures to stabilize or even out. If the
temperature is too cold or too warm, change the setting one
increment at a time.
A large amount of food has just been added to the Adding food warms the refrigerator. It can take a few hours for
refrigerator or freezer, the refrigerator to return to normal temperature.
The food is not packaged correctly. Wrap food tightly and wipe off damp containers prior to storing
in the refrigerator to avoid moisture accumulation. If
necessary, repackage food according to the guidelines in the
Food Storage Guide section on page 20.
The doors are not closing completely. See DOORS WILL NOT CLOSE COMPLETELY on page 33.
The weather is humid. In humid weather, air carries moisture into the refrigerator
when the doors are opened.
A self-defrost cycle was completed. It is normal for droplets to form on the back wall after the
refrigerator self-defrosts.
