IMPORTANT: Do not remove the white foam air return insert from
behind the control panel on the ceiling of the refrigerator. If the
insert is removed, ice may migrate down from the freezer and
cause icicles to form.
When Moving "{our Refrigerator:

Excessive Weight

Hazard

Use two or more people to move and install
refrigerator.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

Remove the Packaging
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."

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.

your refrigerator before using it. See the cleaning instructions in
"Refrigerator Care."
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.

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.

Read all directions carefully before you begin.

must meet local plumbing code requirements.

TOOLS NEEDED: Flat-blade screwdriver, 7/le,,and V_" open-end
wrenches or two adjustable wrenches, V4" nut driver and drill bit,
hand drill or electric drill (properly grounded).
NOTE: Your refrigerator dealer has a kit available with a V4"
(6.35 mm) 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 34d'
(4.76 mm) saddle valve which reduces water flow and clogs more
easily.

Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water pipe with the pipe
clamp. Be sure the outlet end is solidly in the V4" drilled hole in
the water pipe and that the washer is under the pipe clamp.
Tighten the packing nut. Tighten the pipe clamp screws
carefully and evenly so washer makes a watertight seal. Do
not overtighten or you may crush the copper tubing.

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 compression nut
onto outlet end with adjustable wrench. Do not overtighten.

Place the free end of the tubing in a container or sink, and turn
ON the main water supply. Flush the tubing until water is clear.
Turn OFF the shutoff valve on the water pipe. Coil the copper
tubing.

Wa_rPmssum
A cold water supply with water pressure of between 30 and
120 psi (207 - 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 - 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 - 414 kPa).
If the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system is less than
40 to 60 psi (276 - 414 kPa):
•
Check to see whether the sediment filter in the reverse
osmosis system is blocked. Replace the filter if necessary.
•

Connect to Refrigerator
1.
2.

Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
Attach the copper tube to the valve inlet using a compression
nut and sleeve as shown. Tighten the compression nut. Do not
overtighten.

Use the tube clamp on the back of the refrigerator to secure
the tubing to the refrigerator as shown. This will help prevent
damage to the tubing when the refrigerator is pushed back
against the wall.
Turn shutoff valve ON.

Allow the storage tank on the reverse osmosis system to refill
after heavy usage.

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

4.
Read all directions before you begin.

IMPORTANT: If you turn the refrigerator on before the water line is
connected, turn the ice maker OFF.

Check for leaks. Tighten any connections (including
connections at the valve) or nuts that leak.
A

Connect to Water Line
1.

Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

Turn OFF main water supply. Turn ON nearest faucet long
enough to clear line of water.
Locate a V2" to 1V4" (1.25 cm to 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.

Determine the length of copper tubing you need. Measure
from the connection on the lower left rear of refrigerator to the
water pipe. Add 7 ft (2.1 m) to allow for cleaning. Use V4"
(6.35 mm) O.D. (outside diameter) copper tubing. Be sure both
ends of copper tubing are cut square.
Using a grounded drill, drill a V4" hole in the cold water pipe
you have selected.

IM PORTANI"."
Give your refrigerator time to cool down completely before
adding food. It is best to wait 24 hours before you put food
into the refrigerator.
If you add food before the refrigerator has cooled completely,
your food may spoil. Adjusting the Refrigerator and Freezer
Controls to a higher (colder) than recommended setting will
not cool the compartments any faster.

Ice Production Rate

Adjusting Controls
The mid-settings indicated in the previous section should be
correct for normal household usage. The controls are set correctly
when milk or juice is as cold as you like and when ice cream is
firm.

•

Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the
first three batches of ice produced.

•

If the temperature is too warm or too cold in the refrigerator or
freezer, first check the air vents to be sure they are not blocked.

The ice maker should produce approximately
of ice in a 24-hour period.

•

If you need to adjust temperatures, use the settings listed in the
chart below as a guide. On models with two controls, adjust the
refrigerator temperature first. Wait at least 24 hours between
adjustments and then recheck the temperatures.

To increase ice production, lower the freezer and refrigerator
temperature. See "Using the Controls." Wait 24 hours
between adjustments.

•

For maximum ice production (on some models), push the
switch to ICE PLUS. The ice maker should produce 16 to
20 batches of ice in a 24-hour period in the Ice Plus mode.

Remember
The quality of your ice will be only as good as the quality of the
water supplied to your ice maker. Avoid connecting the ice
maker to a softened water supply. Water softener chemicals
(such as salt) can damage parts of the ice maker and lead to
poor quality ice. If a softened water supply cannot be avoided,
make sure the water softener is operating properly and is well
maintained.

lOW (open) for best storage of fruits and vegetables with skins.
HIGH (closed) for best storage of fresh, leafy vegetables.

Turning the Ice Maker On/Off
To turn the ice maker ON, simply lower the wire shutoff arm.
To manually turn the ice maker OFF, lift the wire shutoff arm to the
OFF (arm up) position and listen for the click.
NOTE: Your ice maker has an automatic shutoff. As ice is made,
the ice cubes will fill the ice storage bin and the ice cubes will
raise the wire shutoff arm to the OFF (arm up) position. Do not
force the wire shutoff arm up or down.

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 prevent
odors from building up. 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 prevent
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.

NOTE: Not all bulbs will fit your refrigerator. Be sure to replace the
bulb with one of the same size, shape, and wattage.
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2.

Remove the bulb from behind the control panel in the
refrigerator or from behind the light shield in the freezer (on
some models). Replace it with a bulb of the same wattage.

Deje que su refrigerador se enfrie por completo antes de
agregar alimentos. Es mejor esperar 24 horas antes de poner
alimentos en el refrigerador.
Si agrega alimentos antes de que el refrigerador se haya
enfriado por completo, sus alimentos podrian echarse a
perder. Girar los controles del refrigerador o congelador a un
ajuste mas alto (mas frio) que el recomendado no enfriarA los
compartimientos con mayor rapidez.

Cbmoajustar los controles
Los ajustes medios indicados en la secci6n previa deben ser los
correctos para el uso normal de un refrigerador familiar. Los
controles estan ajustados correctamente cuando la leche o los
jugos estan tan frios como Ud. desea y cuando el helado tiene
consistencia firme.

Para poner a funcionar (ON) la fabrica de hielo, sencillamente
el brazo de control de alambre.

Si la temperatura esta demasiado caliente o demasiado fria en el
refrigerador o en el congelador, primero verifique los conductos
de ventilaci6n para asegurarse de que no estan bloqueados.
Si necesita regular las temperaturas, utilice como guia los ajustes
que se enumeran en la tabla siguiente. Para modelos con dos
controles, ajuste primero la temperatura del refrigerador. Espere
por Io menos 24 horas entre un ajuste y otro, y despu6s vuelva a
verificar las temperaturas.

Para apagar (OFF) la fabrica de hielo manualmente, levante el
brazo de control de alambre a la posici6n Apagada (OFF-brazo
elevado) y escuche el chasquido.
NOTA: Su fabrica de hielo tiene un apagado automatico. A
medida que se produce el hielo, los cubitos de hielo Ilenaran el
dep6sito para hielo y estos levantaran el brazo de control de
alambre a la posici6n de apagado (OFF - brazo elevado). No
fuerce el brazo de control de alambre hacia arriba o hacia abajo.
