INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Water Supply Requirements(optional)

This water line installation is not warranted by the refrigerator manufacturer or the icemaker manufacturer. Follow these instructions carefully to minimize the risk of expensive water damage. Gather the required tools and supplies before starting installation. Read and follow the instructions associated with tools and supplies.

Tools Needed:

• Flat-blade screwdriver
  • Philips screwdriver
• 1/2 ” open-end or adjustable wrenches
  • Power drill and drill bit (only needed when installing a saddle valve)

Supplies Needed:

• Water tubing and fittings (to connect to home water supply) Supplies needed depends on type of water supply connection required
- Examples
- 1/4" outer diameter refrigerator copper tubing kit with compression nuts and sleeves
- Refrigerator plastic tubing kit with molded ends specifically designed for this application- Saddle valve (included in some kits)
- See "Shutoff valve to connect ..." on this page

Important:

• Be sure the connection is being made to a potable water supply.
  • Install copper tubing only in areas where household temperature will remain above freezing
  • To prevent burns and product damage, do not hook up the refrigerator water line to the hot water
• When using any electrical device (such as power drill) during installation, be sure the device is double insulated or grounded in a manner to prevent electrical shock, or use a battery-powered device
• Check for water leaks before plugging in the refrigerator Note: 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" (3.97mm) 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. Piercing type saddle valves are not recommended even if allowed by local plumbing code. Install the shutoff valve on the nearest frequently used drinking water line.

Water Pressure

Important: A cold water supply with water pressure between 30 and 120 psi (207 and 827 kPa) is required to operate the icemaker.

Note: If the water pressure is less than what is required, ice cubes could be hollow or irregular shaped. If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, qualified plumber.

Reverse osmosis water Supply

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 to 414 kPa). If the icemaker is still not operating properly:

• 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.

Connect the Water Supply(optional)

Read all directions before you begin.

Note: This example is for a saddle valve installation. When a shutoff valve is already present, a saddle valve is not required.

Important: If you turn the refrigerator on before the water line is connected, turn the icemaker OFF.

Connect to Water Line

1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Turn OFF main water supply. Turn ON nearest faucet long enough to clear line of water.
3. Locate a 12 " to 1- 14 " (1.25cm to 3.18cm) 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.

1. Determine the length of copper tubing you need. Measure from the connection on the lower left rear of refrigerator to the water pipe. Add 8 ft (2.4 m) to allow for cleaning. Use 14 " (6.35 mm) O.D. (outside diameter) copper tubing. Be sure both ends of copper tubing are cut square.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Connect the Water Supply (continued)

Connect to Refrigerator

1. Drill a 14 " hole in the cold water pipe (even if using 1a Usefug refrigerator or disconnect power, piercing valve), using a sharp bit. Remove any burrs resulting from drilling the hole in the pipe. Take care 2 and 3 to allow water to drain into the drill. Failure to drill a 14 " hole may result in reduced ice production or smaller cubes. Remove the screws holding the compressor compartment may result in reduced ice production or smaller cubes.

2. Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water pipe with the pipe clamp. Be sure the outlet end is solidly in the 1/4" drilled hole in the water pipe and that the washer is under the pipe clamp. Tighten the packing nut. Tighten the pipe clamp screws slowly and evenly so washer makes a watertight seal. Do not overtighten or you may crush the cold water pipe.

REFRIGERATOR USE

Using the Controls

Your refrigerator has two controls that affect the temperature.

The Temperature control is located at the top front of the refrigerator compartment and the Airflow control is located on the back wall of the freezer compartment.

Important:

• The recommended setting 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.
• Wait 24 hours for your refrigerator to cool completely before adding food. If you add food before the refrigerator has cooled completely, your food may spoil.
  NOTE: Adjusting the refrigerator and freezer temperature controls to a colder than recommended setting will not cool the compartments any faster.
• 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 before adjusting the controls.

Refrigerator Temperature Control

The temperature control dial is calibrated in a range from 1 (least cold) to 7 (coldest). For your convenience, the temperature control is preset at the factory to the recommended setting (4).

Recommended Setting "4" Fresh Food Temperature 4 Recommended 7 Coldest 4

NOTE: Your refrigerator will run continuously for several hours when you first start it. This is normal.

Adjusting the Temperature Control

If you need to adjust the temperature in the refrigerator (or freezer compartment), follow the indications in the TEMPERATURE CONTROL GUIDE table.

NOTE: Do not adjust the control more than one setting at a time. Wait 24 hours between adjustments for the temperature to stabilize.

- Garage Ready Settings: For optimal operation in a garage environment, set temperature control in refrigerator compartment to 4 and set temperature control in freezer compartment to Recommended.

NOTE: Sustained exposure to ambient temperatures below 39^ F ( 4^ C) may result in freezing of food and beverages stored in the refrigeration section.

Freezer Temperature Control

The temperature control dial is calibrated in a range from "Coldest" to "Cold".

For your convenience, the Temperature control is preset at the factory to the recommended setting which is indicated on the dial.

Use the freezer temperature control to adjust the freezer temperature to your desired condition. It is recommended that when you plug in the refrigerator for the first time, make sure the control setting is on Recommended.

REFRIGERATOR USE

Frost Free

Your refrigerator is designed to defrost automatically

Warm Cabinet Surfaces

At times, the front of the refrigerator cabinet may be warm to the touch. This is a normal occurrence that helps prevent moisture from condensing on the cabinet. The condition will be more noticeable when you first start the refrigerator, during hot weather and after excessive or lengthy door openings.

Icemaker (on some models)

Turning the Icemaker On/Off

NOTE: Do not force the shutoff arm up or down.

• To turn the icemaker on, simply push the button. The icemaker starts with the LED lamp on.
• When the icemaker is not in use, or when the ambient temperature is 39F(4C) or less, or when a water cut-off is expected for more than 24 hours, press the icemaker button for 1 second. This will cause LED lamp to stop glowing and the icemaker to stop operating. If the icemaker is turned off while the motor of the icemaker is running, the motor will finish rotating and stop.

NOTE: Turn the icemaker off before removing the ice storage bin to serve ice or to clean the bin. This will keep the ice cubes from dropping out of the icemaker and into the freezer compartment. After replacing the ice storage bin, turn on the icemaker.

Ice Production Rate

- The icemaker should produce approximately 8 to 12 batches of ice in a 24 hour period. If ice is not being made fast enough, turn the freezer control toward a higher (colder) number in half steps. Wait 24 hours and, if necessary, gradually turn the freezer control to the highest setting, waiting 24 hours between each increase.

Remember

• The icemaker will not begin to operate until it reaches a temperature of 15^ F ( -9^ C) or below. It will then begin operation automatically.
• In conditions of lower water pressure or first water supply, the icemaker water valve may turn on up to 7 times to deliver enough water to the icemaker.
• Ice will only begin to be produce after 24 hours. Discard the first three batches of ice produced. This water supply is not component of refrigerator, consumer can buy it from electric device stores.
• The quality of your ice will be only as good as the quality of the water supplied to your icemaker. Avoid connecting the icemaker to a softened water supply. Water softener chemicals (such as salt) can damage parts of the icemaker 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.
• Do not store anything on top of the icemaker or in the ice storage bin.

NOTE: Your icemaker has an automatic shutoff. As ice is made, the ice cubes will fill the ice storage bin and the ice cubes will raise the shutoff arm to the Full (arm up) position.

REFRIGERATOR FEATURES

Your model may have some or all of these features.

To know about glass shelves and covers:

Refrigerator Shelves

The shelves in your refrigerator are adjustable to match your individual storage needs.

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, and save energy.

Important:

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.

Tempered glass is designed to shatter into many small, pebble-size pieces. This is normal.

Glass shelves and covers are heavy. Use both hands when removing them to avoid dropping.

CAUTION: To avoid personal injury or property damage.

• Never attempt to adjust a shelf when it is loaded with food.
• Confirm that shelf is secure prior to loading items onto it.

Full Width Shelf

Select models are equipped with wire or glass full width shelves that are supported by rails molded into the interior walls of the fresh food compartment.

To remove and replace a full width shelf:

Remove food from the shelf.

Grasp each side of the shelf.

Pull the shelf forward approximately 1 inch (25mm).

While supporting the shelf from underneath, lift it up and out.

Slide the shelf into the desired alternate position.

Half-Width Shelf

One side of the shelf rests on a molded side-wall support; a bracket on the other side hooks into a track on the rear cabinet wall.

To remove and replace a half-width shelf:

1. Remove food from the shelf.
2. Tilt up the front edge of the shelf.
3. Lift up the rear of the shelf.
4. Pull the shelf out of the track.
5. Move the shelf into the desired alternate position.
6. While tilting the shelf up, insert the top hook at the back of the shelf in a slot on the track.

FOOD STORAGE GUIDE

Fresh Food Storage

• The fresh food compartment of a refrigerator should be kept between 34°F (1°C) and 40°F (4°C) with an optimum temperature of 37°F (3°C). To check the temperature, place an appliance thermometer in a glass of water and place in the center of the refrigerator. Check after 24 hours. If the temperature is above 40°F (4°C) adjust the control as explained on "Temperature Control" page.
• Avoid overcrowding the refrigerator shelves. This reduces the circulation of air around the food and results in uneven cooling.
• Storage in the crisper drawers traps humidity to help preserve the fruit and vegetable quality for longer time periods
• Sort fruits and vegetables before storage and use bruised or soft items first. Discard those showing signs of decay.
  • Always wrap odorous foods such as onions and cabbage so the odor does not transfer to other foods.
• While vegetables need a certain amount of humidity to remain fresh, too much moisture can shorten storage times (especially leafy items). Drain vegetables well before storing.
• Raw meat and poultry should be wrapped securely so leakage and contamination of other foods or surfaces does not occur.
• Occasionally mold will develop on the surface of hard cheeses (Swiss, Cheddar, Parmesan). Cut off at least an inch around and below the moldy area. Keep your knife or instrument out of the mold itself. Do not try to save individual cheese slices, soft cheese, cottage cheese, cream, sour cream or yogurt when mold appears.
• Most dairy foods such as milk, yogurt, sour cream and cottage cheese have freshness dates on their cartons for appropriate length of storage. Store these foods in the original carton and refrigerate immediately after purchasing and after each use.

Freezer Food Storage

• The freezer compartment of a refrigerator should be kept at approximately 0°F (-18°C). To check the temperature, place an appliance thermometer between the frozen packages and check afeter 24 hours. If the temperater is above 0°F (-18°C), adjust the control as explained on “Temperature Control” page.
• Storage times will vary according to the quality and type of food, the type of packaging or wrap used (should be airtight and moisture-pfoof), and the storage temperature.
• Seal the package or container securely to avoid taste and odor transfer throughout the product. 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.
• A freezer operates more efficiently when it is at least 2/3 full. Leave a space between the packages so cold air can circulate freely, allowing food to freeze as quickly as possible.
• To minimize 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 be sure they are tightly sealed. Trapped air can cause the food to dry out, change color and develop an off-flavor (freezer burn).
  • Do not refreeze meat that has completely thawed.
• 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.
• Avoid storing hard-to-freeze foods such as ice cream and orange juice on the freezer door shelves. These foods are best stored in the freezer interior where the temperature varies less with door openings.

REFRIGERATOR CARE

Cleaning

WARNING

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 avoid buildup of odors. 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 avoid odor transfer and drying out of food, wrap or cover foods tightly.

To Clean Your Refrigerator

Warning: To avoid electrical shock which can cause severe personal injury or death, disconnect the power cord before moving or cleaning the 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 exterior surfaces (doors and cabinet), 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.
3. Clean the exterior surfaces.

Painted metal: Wash painted metal exteriors with a clean, soft cloth or sponge and a mild detergent in warm water. Rinse surfaces with clean, warm water and dry immediately to avoid water spots.

Stainless Steel: Wash stainless steel surfaces with a clean, soft cloth or sponge and a mild detergent in warm water. Rinse surfaces with clean, warm water and dry immediately to avoid water spots.

NOTE: When cleaning stainless steel, always wipe in the direction of the grain to avoid cross-grain scratching.

Stainless Steel Cleaner

For best cleaning results, use Kenmore Stainless Steel Cleaner item #02240083 or equivalent. Available on Kenmore.com or by calling 1-844-553-6667.

1. 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:

2. Remove the base grille. See Front Base Grille in Installation Instructions section.

3. 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.

4. Replace the base grille when finished.

5. Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.
