Tempered glass is designed to shatter into many small, pebble-sized pieces. This is normal. Glass shelves and covers are heavy. Use both hands when removing them to avoid 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, refer "Connect to Water Line" in the Installation Instructions. If you have any questions about your water connection, refer "Troubleshooting" or call a licensed, qualified plumber.
■If you turn the refrigerator on before the water line is connected, turn the ice maker OFF. Refer "Ice Maker and Storage Bin."
■All installations must meet local plumbing code requirements.
■Connect to potable water supply only.
Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system. Systems certified for cyst reduction may be used on disinfected waters that may contain filterable cysts.
WATER PRESSURE
A cold water supply with water pressure between 30 psi and 120 psi (207 kPa and 827 kPa) is required to operate the water dispenser and ice maker. If you have questions about your water pressure, refer "Troubleshooting" or call a licensed, qualified plumber.
NOTE: If the water pressure is less than what is required, the flow of water from the water dispenser could decrease or 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
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 psi and 120 psi (207 kPa 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. Refer "Water Filtration System."
If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, qualified plumber.

CARE AND CLEANING
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.
ICE STORAGE BIN CARE
NOTE: It is normal for ice to stick together in the ice bin. It is recommended that the ice bin be emptied and cleaned as needed.
TO CLEAN THE ICE STORAGE BIN:
- Slide the ice bin out of the freezer and lift up and out.
- Empty the ice bin. Use warm water to melt the ice if necessary.
NOTE: Do not use anything sharp to break up the ice in the bin. This can cause damage to the ice bin and the dispenser mechanism.
- Wash ice bin with warm water and 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.
■It may take 3 to 4 days for the ice bin to completely fill, if no ice is used.
■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.
■Do not store anything inside the ice bin.

CARE AND CLEANING
DOOR BINS
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 [907-1,350 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.
Large door bins hold gallon containers and the smaller door bins hold 2-liter bottles. The door bins are adjustable and removable for easy cleaning and adjusting.
GALLON DOOR BIN
NOTE: The gallon door bin can only be placed on the lower door support.
-
Position gallon door bin above lowest door adjustment slot.
-
Push down to secure bin.
-
Adjust other bins, as necessary, to allow for milk or beverage container height.
DOOR BINS
To remove and replace the door bins:
-
Remove the bin by lifting it up and pulling it out.
-
Replace the bin by sliding it in above the desired support and pushing it down until it stops.

TROUBLESHOOTING
NOTE: Try the solutions suggested here first in order to avoid the cost of an unnecessary service call.
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.
■Power cord unplugged? Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
■Is outlet working? Plug in a lamp to see if the outlet is working.
■Household fuse blown or circuit breaker tripped? Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. If the problem continues, call an electrician.
■Are controls on? Make sure the refrigerator controls are on. Refer "Using the Controls."
■Is refrigerator defrosting? Your refrigerator will regularly run an automatic defrost cycle. Recheck in 30 minutes to see if it is operating.
■New installation? Allow 24 hours following installation for the refrigerator to cool completely.
NOTE: Adjusting the temperature controls to the coldest setting will not cool either compartment more quickly.
THE MOTOR SEEMS TO RUN TOO MUCH
Your new refrigerator may run longer than your old one due to its high-efficiency compressor and fans. The unit may run even longer if the room is warm, a large food load is added, doors are opened often, or if the doors have been left open. If there is a "whooshing" sound, check the following:
THE REFRIGERATOR IS NOISY
Refrigerator noise has been reduced over the years. Due to this reduction, you may hear intermittent noises from your new refrigerator that you did not notice from your old model. Below are listed some normal sounds with an explanation.
■Buzzing - heard when the water valve opens to fill the ice maker
■Pulsating - fans/compressor adjusting to optimize performance
■Rattling - flow of refrigerant, water line, or from items placed on top of the refrigerator
■Sizzling/Gurgling - water dripping on the heater during defrost cycle
■Popping - contraction/expansion of inside walls, especially during initial cool-down
■Water running - may be heard when ice melts during the defrost cycle and runs into the drain pan
■Creaking/Cracking - occurs as ice is being ejected from the ice maker mold
THERE IS NO AUDIBLE DOOR OPEN ALARM
Has the door been open less than 5 minutes? The door open alarm will only flash when the door has been open for 5 minutes. The audible alarm will sound the first time the door is left open for more than 5 minutes. Subsequent door open alarms will only flash. You must reset the audible alarm each time. Refer "Using the Control(s)."
THE DOORS WILL NOT CLOSE COMPLETELY
■Door blocked open? Move food packages away from door.
■Bin or shelf in the way? Push bin or shelf back in the correct position.
THE DOORS ARE DIFFICULT TO OPEN
WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Use nonflammable cleaner.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
■Are the gaskets dirty or sticky? Clean gaskets with mild soap and warm water.
THE LIGHTS DO NOT WORK
■Is the refrigerator in Sabbath mode?
Refer "Using the Controls."
■Has the door been open more than 10 minutes?
Refer "Using the Controls."
TROUBLESHOOTING
TEMPERATURE AND MOISTURE
TEMPERATURE IS TOO WARM
■New installation? Allow 24 hours following installation for the refrigerator to cool completely.
■Door(s) opened often or left open? Allows warm air to enter refrigerator. Minimize door openings and keep doors fully closed.
■Large load of food added? Allow several hours for refrigerator to return to normal temperature.
■Controls set correctly for the surrounding conditions? Adjust the controls to a colder setting. Check temperature in 24 hours. Refer "Using the Controls."
■Refrigerator not cooling? For models with digital controls, turn the refrigerator OFF and then ON to reset. If this does not correct the problem, call for service.
■Air vents blocked? Remove any item from in front of the air vents.
NOTE: Some moisture buildup is normal.
■Humid room? Contributes to moisture buildup.
■Door(s) opened often or left open? Allows humid air to enter refrigerator. Minimize door openings and keep doors fully closed.
THERE IS INTERIOR MOISTURE BUILDUP
ICE AND WATER
THE ICE MAKER IS NOT PRODUCING ICE OR NOT ENOUGH ICE
■Refrigerator connected to a water supply and the supply shutoff valve turned on? Connect refrigerator to water supply and turn water shutoff valve fully open.
■Kink in the water source line? A kink in the line can reduce water flow. Straighten the water source line.
■Ice maker turned on? Make sure wire shutoff arm or switch (depending on model) is in the ON position.
■New installation? Wait 24 hours after ice maker installation for ice production to begin. Wait 72 hours for full ice production.
■Large amount of ice recently removed? Allow 24 hours for ice maker to produce more ice.
■Ice cube jammed in the ice maker ejector arm? Remove ice from the ejector arm with a plastic utensil.
■Reverse osmosis water filtration system connected to your cold water supply? This can decrease water pressure. Refer "Water Supply Requirements" in either the Installation Instruction booklet or the Use & Care Guide.
THE ICE CUBES ARE HOLLOW OR SMALL
NOTE: This is an indication of low water pressure.
■Water shutoff valve not fully open? Turn the water shutoff valve fully open.
■Kink in the water source line? A kink in the line can reduce water flow. Straighten the water source line.
■Reverse osmosis water filtration system connected to your cold water supply? This can decrease water pressure. Refer "Water Supply Requirements."
■Questions remain regarding water pressure? Call a licensed, qualified plumber.
ICE IS STICKING TOGETHER IN THE ICE STORAGE BIN
■It is normal for frost to be on top of the ice storage bin due to normal opening and closing of the freezer.
It is normal for ice to stick together when it is not dispensed or used frequently. It is recommended that the ice storage bin be emptied and cleaned as needed. Refer "Ice Maker and Storage Bin."
OFF-TASTE, ODOR OR GRAY COLOR IN THE ICE
■New plumbing connections? New plumbing connections can cause discolored or off-flavored ice.
■Ice stored too long? Discard ice. Wash ice bin. Allow 24 hours for ice maker to make new ice.
■Odor transfer from food? Use airtight, moisture-proof packaging to store food.
■Are there minerals (such as sulfur) in the water? A water 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.
