Important information to know about disposal of refrigerants:

Dispose of refrigerator in accordance with Federal and Local regulations. Refrigerants must be evacuated by a licensed, EPA certified refrigerant technician in accordance with established procedures.

BEFORE USE

Remove the Packaging

■ 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. 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.

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.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Try the solutions suggested here first in order to avoid the cost of an unnecessary service call.

Refrigerator Operation

The refrigerator will not operate

WARNING

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. See “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 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.

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 water 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 10 minutes? The door open alarm will only flash when the door has been open for 10 minutes. The audible alarm will sound the first time the door is left open for more than 10 minutes. Subsequent door open alarms will only flash. You must reset the audible alarm each time. See “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 a light bulb loose in the socket or burned out? See "Changing the Light Bulbs."
- Is the refrigerator in Holiday Mode? See "Using the Controls."
■ Has the door been open more than 10 minutes? See “Using the Controls.”

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 a setting colder. Check temperature in 24 hours. See "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.

There is interior moisture buildup

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 moisture between the refrigerator doors

■ Energy Saver on? Turn the Energy Saver feature OFF, if moisture is collecting between the refrigerator doors. See "Using Controls."

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. See “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. See “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. See “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.
