Proper Disposal of Your Old Refrigerator

WARNING

Suffocation Hazard

Remove doors from your old refrigerator.

Failure to do so can result in death or brain damage.

IMPORTANT: Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators are still dangerous – even if they will sit for “just a few days.” If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator, please follow these instructions to help prevent accidents.

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.

BEFORE USE

Remove the Packaging

■ If the ice storage bin is located on the door, remove the temporary shield from underneath the ice storage bin. See "Ice Maker and Storage Bin."
■ Remove tape and glue residue from surfaces before turning on the refrigerator. Rub a small amount of liquid dish soap over the adhesive with your fingers. Wipe with warm water and dry.
■ 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.”
■ Dispose of/recycle all packaging materials.

Clean Before Using

After you remove all of the packaging materials, clean the inside of 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.

Water Supply Requirements

Read all directions before you begin.

IMPORTANT:

■ When your refrigerator was installed, the water connection from the water source should have been connected to your refrigerator. If your refrigerator is not connected to a water source, see "Connect to Water Line" in the Installation Instructions. If you have any questions about your water connection, see "Troubleshooting" or call a licensed, qualified plumber.
■ If you turn the refrigerator on before the water line is connected, turn the ice maker OFF. See “Ice Maker and Storage Bin.”
■ All installations must meet local plumbing code requirements.

Water Pressure

A cold water supply with water pressure between 30 and 120 psi (207 and 827 kPa) is required to operate the water dispenser and ice maker. If you have questions about your water pressure, see "Troubleshooting" or 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 and 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 psi (276 kPa).

If the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system is less than 40 psi (276 kPa):

■ 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 your refrigerator has a water filter, it may further reduce the water pressure when used in conjunction with a reverse osmosis system. Remove the water filter. See "Water Filtration System."

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

Water System Preparation

Please read before using the water system.

Immediately after installation, follow the steps below to make sure that the water system is properly cleaned.

1. Open the freezer door and turn off the ice maker. For Style 1, lift up the wire shutoff arm as shown. For Style 2, move the switch to the OFF (right) setting as shown. The On/Off switch is located on the top right side of the freezer compartment.

Style 1 – Non-Dispenser Models

Style 2 - Dispenser Models

NOTE: If your model has a base grille filter system, make sure the base grille filter is properly installed and the cap is in the horizontal position.

Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system.

1. Use a sturdy container to depress and hold the water dispenser lever for 5 seconds, then release it for 5 seconds. Repeat until water begins to flow. Once water begins to flow, continue depressing and releasing the dispenser lever (5 seconds on, 5 seconds off) for an additional 2 minutes. This will flush air from the filter and water dispensing system. Additional flushing may be required in some households.

NOTE: As air is cleared from the system, water may spurt out of the dispenser.

1. Open the freezer door and turn on the ice maker. For Style 1, lower the wire shutoff arm. For Style 2, move the switch to the ON (left) position.

■ Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice.
■ Discard the first three batches of ice produced.
■ Depending on your model, you may want to select the maximum ice feature to increase the production of ice.

Normal Sounds

Your new refrigerator may make sounds that your old one didn't make. Because the sounds are new to you, you might be concerned about them. Most of the new sounds are normal. Hard surfaces, such as the floor, walls, and cabinets, can make the sounds seem louder. The following describes the kinds of sounds and what may be making them.

If your refrigerator is equipped with an ice maker, you will hear a buzzing sound when the water valve opens to fill the ice maker for each cycle.
- Your refrigerator is designed to run more efficiently to keep your food items at the desired temperatures and to minimize energy usage. The high efficiency compressor and fans may cause your refrigerator to run longer than your old one. You may also hear a pulsating or high-pitched sound from the compressor or fans adjusting to optimize performance.
■ You may hear the evaporator fan motor circulating air through the refrigerator and freezer compartments. The fan speed may increase as you open the doors or add warm food.
■ Rattling noises may come from the flow of refrigerant, the water line, or items stored on top of the refrigerator.
■ Water dripping on the defrost heater during a defrost cycle may cause a sizzling sound.
■ 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.
■ 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.

Ensuring Proper Air Circulation

In order to ensure proper temperatures, you need to permit airflow between the two sections. Cold air enters the bottom of the freezer section and moves up. It then enters the refrigerator section through the top vent. Air then returns to the freezer as shown.

Diagram of a refrigerator interior showing airflow and storage mechanism (no text or symbols)

Do not block any of these vents with food such as soda, cereal, bread, etc. Do not block any airflow vents. If the vents are blocked, airflow will be obstructed and temperature and moisture problems may occur.

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.

Using Controls

IMPORTANT:

■ The refrigerator control adjusts the refrigerator compartment temperature. The freezer control adjusts the freezer compartment temperature.
■ Wait 24 hours after you turn on the refrigerator before you put food into it. If you add food before the refrigerator has cooled completely, your food may spoil.
NOTE: Adjusting the refrigerator and freezer controls to a lower (colder) 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.
■ The preset settings 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.
■ The actual temperature may differ from the display when a door is open for an extended period of time.

NOTE: The factory recommended set points are 0^ F ( -18^ C) for the freezer and 37^ F ( 3^ C) for the refrigerator.

Turning Refrigerator On and Viewing Set Points

■ Press the Cooling (ON/OFF) touch pad.

COOLING

NOTE:

■ After the refrigerator is turned on, the Over Temperature audio alarm and indicator light may activate every 1½ hours until the refrigerator and freezer temperatures are below 48°F (9°C) and 15°F (-9°C), respectively, or until the alarm is turned off. To turn off the audio alarm and indicator light, see “Master Alarm Reset.”
■ The ON/OFF touch pad on the control panel shuts down refrigerator functions such as cooling, lighting, fans and compressors. To turn the power off completely, use the power ON/OFF switch located behind the top grille. See "Power On/Off Switch."

Viewing the Celsius Temperatures

■ Press °C touch pad. To redisplay degrees Fahrenheit, press °C again.

Clean the Ice Storage Bin

1. Empty the ice container. Use warm water to melt the ice if necessary.
   NOTE: Do not use anything sharp to break up the ice in the bin or bucket. This can cause damage to the ice container and the dispenser mechanism.
2. Wash ice bin with a mild detergent, rinse well and dry thoroughly. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners or solvents.

Remember

■ Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Allow 3 days to completely fill ice container.
■ Discard the first three batches of ice produced to avoid impurities that may be flushed out of the system.
■ 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.
■ It is normal for the ice cubes to be attached at the corners. They will break apart easily.
■ For Style 1 ice maker, do not force the wire shutoff arm up or down.
■ Do not store anything on top of the ice maker or in the ice storage bin/bucket.

REFRIGERATOR FEATURES

Refrigerator Shelves

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.

The shelves in your refrigerator are adjustable to meet 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 help save energy.

Shelves and Shelf Frames

To remove and replace a shelf/frame:

1. Remove the shelf/frame by tilting it up at the front and lifting it out of the shelf supports. Pull shelf straight out.
2. Replace the shelf/frame by guiding the rear shelf hooks into the shelf supports. Tilt the front of the shelf up until the rear shelf hooks drop into the shelf supports.
3. Lower the front of the shelf and check to make sure that the shelf is securely in position.

Frozen Food Storage Guide

Storage times will vary according to the quality and type of food, the type of packaging or wrap used (should be 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.

Put no more unfrozen food into the freezer than will freeze within 24 hours (no more than 2 to 3 lbs of food per cubic foot [907 to 1,350 g per 28 L] of freezer space). Leave enough space in the freezer for air to circulate around packages. Be sure to leave enough room for the door to close tightly.

For more information on preparing food for freezing, check a freezer guide or reliable cookbook.

Freezer Basket

The freezer basket can be used to store bags of frozen fruits and vegetables that may slide off freezer shelves.

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 build-up of odors. Wipe up spills immediately.

To Clean Your Refrigerator:

1. Remove the top grille. See "Power On/Off Switch."
2. Press power switch to OFF.
3. Remove all removable parts from inside, such as shelves, crispers, etc.
4. 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.

■ 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. These can scratch or damage materials.

■ To help remove odors, you can wash interior walls with a mixture of warm water and baking soda (2 tbs to 1 qt [26 g to 0.95 L] of water).

1. Wash stainless steel and painted metal exteriors with a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water. Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners, or cleaners containing chlorine. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. For additional protection against damage to painted metal exteriors, apply appliance wax (or auto paste wax) with a clean, soft cloth. Do not wax plastic parts.

NOTE: To keep your Stainless Steel refrigerator looking like new and to remove minor scuffs or marks, it is suggested that you use the manufacturer's approved Stainless Steel Cleaner & Polish.

IMPORTANT: This cleaner is for Stainless Steel parts only!

Do not allow the Stainless Steel Cleaner & Polish to come into contact with any plastic parts such as the trim pieces, dispenser covers or door gaskets. If unintentional contact does occur, clean plastic part with a sponge and mild detergent in warm water. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. To order the cleaner, see "Accessories."

1. Press the power switch to ON.
2. Replace the top grille. See "Power On/Off Switch."

Changing the Light Bulbs

NOTE: Not all appliance bulbs will fit your refrigerator. Be sure to replace the bulb with one of the same size and shape. All lights require a 40-watt maximum appliance bulb. Replacement bulbs are available from your dealer or appliance store.

1. Remove the top grille. See "Power On/Off Switch."
2. Press the power switch to OFF.
3. Remove light shield when applicable as shown.

NOTE: To clean a light shield, wash it with warm water and a liquid detergent. Rinse and dry the shield well.

Freezer and Crisper Lights

■ Remove the light shield by grasping the sides and squeezing in toward the center. Once the side hooks of the shield are free from the freezer or crisper lining, pull down the shield.
■ Replace the light shield by squeezing the top and bottom toward the center and inserting the hooks into the slotted holes. Once the hooks are in place, snap the front tab into the slotted hole.

Power Interruptions

If the power will be out for 24 hours or less, keep the door or doors closed (depending on your model) to help food stay cold and frozen.

If the power will be out for more than 24 hours, do one of the following:

■ Remove all frozen food and store it in a frozen food locker.
■ Place 2 lbs (907 g) of dry ice in the freezer for every cubic foot (28 L) of freezer space. This will keep the food frozen for 2 to 4 days.
■ If neither a food locker nor dry ice is available, consume or can perishable food at once.

REMEMBER: A full freezer stays cold longer than a partially filled one. A freezer full of meat stays cold longer than a freezer full of baked goods. If you see that food contains ice crystals, it may be refrozen, although the quality and flavor may be affected. If the condition of the food is poor, dispose of it.

Vacation Care

Your refrigerator is equipped with the Holiday Mode feature, which is designed for the traveler who wishes to turn off the lights and ice maker. By selecting this feature, the temperature set points remain unchanged, the ice maker will be disabled and the interior lights will turn off. For most efficient refrigerator operation, it is recommended to exit the Holiday Mode when it is no longer required.

If You Choose to Leave the Refrigerator On While You're Away:

1. Use up any perishables and freeze other items.
2. Press HOLIDAY MODE pad.
3. If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker, shut off water supply to the ice maker.
4. Empty the ice bin.
5. When you return from vacation, press HOLIDAY MODE to return to normal operation.

If You Choose to Turn the Refrigerator Off Before You Leave:

1. Remove all food from the refrigerator.
2. If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker:

■ Turn off the water supply to the ice maker at least one day ahead of time.
■ When the last load of ice drops, raise the wire shutoff arm to the OFF (up) position.

1. Depending on your model, turn the Thermostat Control (or Refrigerator Control) to OFF. See "Using Controls."
2. Clean refrigerator, wipe it, and dry well.
3. Tape rubber or wood blocks to the tops of both doors to prop them open far enough for air to get in. This stops odor and mold from building up.

■ Are the controls set correctly? See "Using the Control(s)."
Is there a water filter installed on the refrigerator? The filter may be clogged or installed incorrectly. Check the filter installation instructions to ensure that the filter was installed correctly and is not clogged. If installation or clogging is not a problem, call a technician or other qualified person.

NOTE: If not due to any of the above, there may be a problem with the water line. Call for service.

Off-taste, odor or gray color in the ice

■ Are the plumbing connections new, causing discolored or off-flavored ice? Discard the first few batches of ice.
■ Have the ice cubes been stored too long? Throw old ice away and make a new supply.

■ Does the freezer and ice bin need to be cleaned? See "Cleaning" or "Ice Maker and Storage Bin."
■ Has food in the freezer or refrigerator been wrapped properly? Use airtight, moisture-proof packaging to avoid odor transfer from stored food.
■ Does the water contain minerals (such as sulfur)? A filter may need to be installed to remove the minerals.
Is there a water filter installed on the refrigerator? Gray or dark discoloration in ice indicates that the water filtration system needs additional flushing. Run additional water through the water dispenser to flush the water filtration system more thoroughly (at least 6 qt. [5.7 L] or 3 to 4 minutes initially). Discard discolored ice.

The ice dispenser will not operate properly

Is the freezer door closed completely? Push the door firmly shut. If it will not shut all the way, see "The doors will not close completely" later in this section.
Is the ice bin installed correctly? For models with an interior ice bin, push the ice bin in all the way. If the ice bin does not go in all the way, it may not be put in straight. Pull it out and try again. For models with an ice bin located on the freezer door, the bin should sit level. To remove the bin, press the release button on the right side of the bin and lift straight up. Replace the bin in the door making sure it is properly aligned and snapped securely into place. See “Ice Maker and Storage Bin.”
■ Has the wrong ice been added to the bin? Use only cubes produced by the current ice maker. If other cubes have been added, remove all cubes and check to see that none have become stuck in the delivery chute.
■ Has the ice frozen in the ice bin? Shake the ice bin to separate cubes. If cubes do not separate, empty bin and wait 24 hours for ice to restock.
■ Has the ice melted around the auger (metal spiral) in the ice bin? Empty the ice container. Use warm water to melt the ice if necessary.
Is ice stuck in the delivery chute? Clear the ice from the delivery chute with a plastic utensil. Do not use anything sharp to remove the ice. You could cause damage.

WARNING

Cut Hazard

Use a sturdy glass when dispensing ice.

Failure to do so can result in cuts.

■ Is the ice dispenser stalling while dispensing “crushed” ice? Stop dispensing ice. Change the ice button from “crushed” to “cubed.” Depress the ice dispenser arm using a sturdy glass. If cubed ice dispenses correctly, depress the button for “crushed” ice and begin dispensing again. See “Water and Ice Dispensers.”
Is there ice in the bin? See "The ice maker is not producing ice" earlier in this section.

■ Has the dispenser pad been held in too long? Release dispenser pad. Ice will stop dispensing when the pad is held in too long. Wait three minutes for dispenser motor to reset before using again. It is best to take large amounts of ice directly from the ice bin, not through the dispenser.

The ice storage bin is difficult to remove

WARNING

Cut Hazard

Use a sturdy glass when dispensing ice.

Failure to do so can result in cuts.

Is the ice storage bin difficult to remove (on some models)? For models with an ice storage bin located on the freezer door, select "cubed" ice. Using a sturdy glass, quickly depress and release the ice dispenser lever. Open the freezer door, depress the release button on the ice storage bin and lift upward. See "Ice Maker and Storage Bin."

The water dispenser will not operate properly

• Has the water system not filled? The water system needs to be filled the first time it is used. Use a sturdy container to depress the water dispenser bar until the water begins to flow. Flush the water system by dispensing and discarding 6 qt (5.7 L) of water. Cleaning the system will take approximately 3 to 4 minutes and will help clear air from the line. Additional flushing may be required in some households. See “Water and Ice Dispensers.”
  ■ Is the water shutoff valve not turned on or the water line connected at the source? Make sure the water shutoff valve is turned on and the water source is connected to the refrigerator. See “Connect Water Line to Refrigerator” in the Installation Instructions.
  ■ Is the water shutoff valve clogged or incorrectly installed? See “Connect Water Line to Refrigerator” in the Installation Instructions. If clogging or installation is not a problem, call for service or contact a plumber.
  ■ Is there a kink in the home water source line? If you find or suspect a kink in the water line, call for service.
  Is there a water filter installed on the refrigerator? The filter may be clogged or incorrectly installed. First, check the filter installation instructions to ensure that the filter was installed correctly and is not clogged. If installation or clogging is not a problem, call for service.

Water is leaking from the dispenser

■ Glass not being held under the dispenser long enough? Hold the glass under the dispenser 2 to 3 seconds after releasing the dispenser pad.
Is there a water filter installed on the refrigerator? The water filtration system may have air in the lines, causing water to drip. Additional flushing may help clear air from the lines. Normal dispenser use should flush air from the lines within 24 to 72 hours.

Water flow from the dispenser decreases noticeably

Is there a water filter installed on the refrigerator?

The filter may be full or incorrectly installed. Remove the water filter cartridge. See “Water Filtration System.” Operate the dispenser. If the water flow increases noticeably, replace the filter.

The dispenser water is not cool enough

■ Has the refrigerator been newly installed? Allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to cool completely.
■ Has a large amount of water been recently dispensed? Allow 24 hours for the water to cool completely.
■ Has water not been recently dispensed? The first glass of water may not be cool. Discard the first glass of water.

The divider between the two compartments is warm

The warmth is probably due to normal operation of the automatic exterior moisture control. If still concerned, call for service.

Temperature is too warm

■ Are the air vents blocked in either compartment? This obstructs cold air movement between the compartments. Remove any objects from in front of the air vents. See “Ensuring Proper Air Circulation” for the location of air vents.
■ Are the door(s) opened often? The refrigerator will warm when this occurs. Keep the refrigerator cool by getting all items out at one time, keeping food organized, and closing the door as soon as possible.
■ Has a large amount of food just been added to the refrigerator or freezer? Adding a large amount of food warms the refrigerator. It can take several hours for the refrigerator to return to the normal temperature.
■ Are the controls set correctly for the surrounding conditions? See "Using the Control(s)."
Is the refrigerator not cooling? For models with digital controls, turn the unit OFF then ON again to reset. See "Using the Control(s)." If this does not correct the problem, call for service.

There is interior moisture buildup

■ Are the air vents blocked in the refrigerator? Remove any objects from in front of the air vents. See “Ensuring Proper Air Circulation” for the location of air vents.
■ Are the door(s) opened often? Avoid humidity buildup by getting all items out at one time, keeping food organized, and closing the door as soon as possible.
■ Is the room humid? It is normal for moisture to build up inside the refrigerator when the room air is humid.
Is the food packaged correctly? Check that all food is securely wrapped. Wipe off damp food containers before placing in the refrigerator.
■ Are the controls set correctly for the surrounding conditions? See "Using the Control(s)."
■ Was a self-defrost cycle completed? It is normal for droplets to form after the refrigerator self-defrosts.

The doors will not close completely

■ Are food packages blocking the door open? Rearrange containers so that they fit more tightly and take up less space.
Is the ice bin out of position? For models with an interior ice bin, push the ice bin in all the way. If the ice bin does not go in all the way, it may not be put in straight. Pull it out and try again. For models with an ice bin located on the freezer door, the bin should sit level. To remove the bin, press the release button on the right side of the bin and lift straight up. Replace the bin in the door making sure it is properly aligned and snapped securely into place. See “Ice Maker and Storage Bin.”
■ Are the pans, shelves, bins, or baskets out of position? Put the crisper cover and all pans, shelves, bins, and baskets back into their correct positions. See “Crisper Drawers and Covers” for more information.
- Does the refrigerator wobble or seem unstable? Level the refrigerator. See “Adjust Doors” and “Level Refrigerator” in the Installation Instructions.
