You will 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,
may result in minor or moderate injury, or product damage.
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, electrlc shock, or personal
injury when using your product, basic safety precautions
should be foffowed, includlncj the foffowincj.

Read aft instructions before using this appffance.
*

DO NOT allow children to climb, stand, or hang on the
refrigerator doors or shetves in the refrigerator. They
could damage the refrigerator and seriously injure
themselves.

NEVER unptug your refrigerator by putting on the
power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and putt it
straight out from the outlet.
Immediately repair or replace att power 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 rotl 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.

wire filament. (A burned-out light bulb may break when
being replaced exposing the wire filament.)

DO NOT refreeze frozen foods which have thawed
completely. The United States Department of
Agriculture in Home and Garden Bulletin No. 69 says:

NOTE: Some models have LED interior lighting and
service should be performed by a qualified technician.

...You may safely refreeze frozen foods that have
thawed if they still contain ice crystals or if they are
still cold--below 4°C.

WARNING: Setting either or both controls to the OFF
position does not remove power to the light circuit.

...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.

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

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.

are damp or wet. Skin may adhere to the extremely cold
surfaces.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

BEFORE YOU THROW AWAY
YOUR OLD REFRIGERATOR
OR FREEZER:

Junked or abandoned refrigerators are dangerous, even
if they are sitting for only 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).

Take off the doors.
Leave the shelves in place so that
children may not easily climb inside.

Your old refrigerator may have a coating system that used
CFCs (chtorofluorocarbons).
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 technician. If you intentionally release this CFC
refrigerant, you may be subject to fines and imprisonment
under provisions of environmental legislation.

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 that cannot be turned off: with a switch
or putt 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.

LEVELING AND DOOR ALIGNMENT

3. Open both doors again and check to make sure that
they close easily. If the doors do not close easily, tilt
the refrigerator slightly more to the rear by turning
both leveling legs counterclockwise.
It may take
several more turns, and you should turn both leveling
legs the same amount.

Leveling
After installing, plug the refrigerator's
power cord into a
3-prong grounded outlet and push the refrigerator
into the
final position.

4. Replace the base grille.
NOTE: Your refrigerator is uniquely designed with
two fresh food doors. Either door can be opened or
closed independently of the other. You may have to
exert slight pressure on the doors to get them to close
completely.

NOTE: Tools Required: 11/16" (18mm) wrench or fiat blade
screwdriver.

Door Alignment
Both the teft and right refrigerator doors have an
adjustable nut, located on the bottom hinge, to raise and
lower them to align properly.

1. Remove the base grille (refer to page 10).
2. Turn the leveling leg counterclockwise
to raise that side
of the refrigerator or clockwise to lower it. It may take
several turns of the leveling leg to adjust the tilt of the
refrigerator.

If the space between your doors is uneven, follow the
instructions below to align the doors evenly:
Use the wrench (included with the Use & Care Guide)
to turn the nut in the door hinge to adjust the height.
Clockwise to raise or counterclockwise
to lower the height.

NOTE: Having someone push backward against the top of
the refrigerator takes some weight off: of the leveling legs.
This makes it easier to adjust the legs.

SETTING THE CONTROLS
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.

Dispenser

When you press the Water
button, the Water icon will
illuminate.
When you press the Ice Select
button, either the cube or crushed
ice icon will illuminate.

AIRFLOW

Some dripping may occur
after dispensing. Hold your cup
beneath the dispenser for a few
seconds after dispensing to catch
all of the drops.

Cold air circulates from the freezer to the fresh food
section and back again through air vents in the wall
dividing the two sections. Be sure not to block vents while
packing your refrigerator. Doing so will restrict airflow
and may cause the refrigerator temperature to become
too warm or cause interior moisture buildup. (See air flow
diagram below.)

_, CAUTION: The control display is operated by
touch. Excessive moisture on the display may cause a
malfunction. Please keep the display clean and dry.
_, WARNING: The dispenser will not work if any door is
left open or if the control lock is engaged.

slightly lift the lower part, and slowly pull out the bin
as shown.

,A_ CAUTION
Keep hands and tools out of the ice compartment door
and dispenser chute. Failure to do so may result in
damage or personal injury.
The icemaker will stop producing ice when the in-door ice
bin is full. if you need more ice, empty the ice bin into the
extra ice bin in the freezer compartment. During use, the
ice can become uneven causing the icemaker to misread
the amount of ice cubes and stop producing ice. Shaking
the ice bin to level the ice within it can reduce this problem.
NOTE: Storing cans or other items in the ice bin will
damage the icemaker.
Keep the ice compartment
door closed tightly, if the ice
compartment door is not closed tightly, the cold air in the
ice bin will freeze food in the refrigerator compartment.

AUTOMATIC

ICEMAKER

Ice is made in the automatic icemaker and sent to the
dispenser. The icemaker will produce 10 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.

Personal Injury

DO NOT place fingers or hands on the automatic ice
making mechanism while the refrigerator is plugged in.

It takes about 12 to 24 hours for a newly installed
refrigerator to begin making ice. Wait 72 hours for full
ice production to occur.
*

Ice making stops when the in-door ice bin is full. When
full, the in-door ice bin holds approximately
6 to 8 (1216 oz) glasses of ice.

To turn off the automatic icemaker, set the icemaker
switch to OFF (O). To turn on the automatic icemaker,
set the switch to ON (I).

Hazard

Icemaker

The water pressure must be between 20 and
120 psi on models without a water filter and between
40 and 120 psi on models with a water filter to
produce the normal amount and size of
ice cubes.

FOOD STORAGE GUIDE
Wrap or store food in the refrigerator in airtight and
moisture-proof
material unless otherwise noted. This
prevents food odor and taste transfer throughout the
refrigerator. For dated products, check date code to
ensure freshness.
ffems
Butter or
margarine

Cheese

Milk

Freezing
Your freezer will not quick-freeze a large quantity of
food. Do not put more unfrozen food into the freezer
than will freeze within 24 hours (no more than 2 to 3
lbs. of food per cubic foot of freezer space). Leave
enough space in the freezer for air to circulate around
packages. Be careful to leave enough room at the
front so the door can close tightly.

Keep opened butter in a covered
dish or closed compartment.
When storing an extra supply,
wrap in freezer packaging and
freeze.

Storage times will vary according to the quality and
type of food, the type of packaging or wrap used
(how airtight and moisture-proof)
and the storage
temperature. Ice crystals inside a sealed package are
normal. This simply means that moisture in the food
and air inside the package have condensed, creating
ice crystals.

Store in the original wrapping
until you are ready to use it. Once
opened, rewrap tightly in plastic
wrap or aluminum foil.
I_ Wipe milk cartons. For best
storage, place milk on interior
shelf, not on door shelf.
_ Store in original carton on interior
shelf, not on door shelf.

Fruit

_ Wash, let dry, and store in
refrigerator
in plastic bags or in
the crisper. Do not wash or hull
fruit until you are ready to use
them. Sort and keep fruit in its
original container, in a crisper, or
store in a completely closed paper
bag on a refrigerator shelf.

STORING FROZEN FOOD

NOTE: Allow hot foods to cool at room temperature
for 30 minutes, then package and freeze. Cooling hot
foods before freezing saves energy.
Packaging
Successful freezing depends on correct packaging.
When you close and seat the package, it must not
allow air or moisture in or out. If it does, you could
have food odor and taste transfer throughout the
refrigerator and could also dry out frozen food.
Packaging recommendations:
• Rigid plastic containers with tight-fitting
lids
• Straight-sided
canning/freezing
jars
• Heavy-duty aluminum foil
• Plastic-coated paper
• Non-permeable
plastic wraps
• Specified freezer-grade
self-sealing plastic bags
Follow package or container instructions for proper
freezing methods.

Remove store wrapping and trim
or tear off bruised and discolored
areas. Wash in cold water and
drain. Place in plastic bag or
plastic container and store in
crisper.

Do nat use
• Bread wrappers
• Non-polyethylene
plastic containers
• Containers without tight lids
• Wax paper or wax-coated
freezer wrap
• Thin, semi-permeable
wrap

Place in plastic bags or plastic
container and store in crisper.

Fish

_ Use fresh fish and shellfish the
same day purchased.

Leftovers

WHAT YOU WILL NEED

This water line installation is not covered by the refrigerator
warranty. Follow these instructions carefully to minimize the
risk of expensive water damage.

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

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 in.
[25 cm] diameter) to allow the refrigerator to move out
from the wall after installation.

To prevent burns and product damage, only connect the
refrigerator water line to a cold water supply.
If you use your refrigerator before connecting the water
line, make sure the icemaker power switch is in the OFF (O)
position.
Do not install the icemaker tubing in areas where
temperatures fall below freezing.

UNDERSTANDING

SOUNDS YOU MAY HEAR

Your new refrigerator may make sounds that your otd one
did not make. Most of the new sounds are normal. Hard
surfaces, tike the floor, wails and cabinets, can make the
sounds seem louder than they actually are. The following
describes the kinds of sounds you may hear and what
may be causing them.

Cllcking:
The defrost control will click when the automatic defrost
cycle begins and ends. The thermostat control (or
refrigerator control, depending on the model) witl also
