■ Unplug the refrigerator before making repairs or cleaning.
NOTE: Power to the refrigerator cannot be disconnected by any setting on the control panel.
NOTE: Repairs must be performed by a qualified Service Professional.
■ Replace all parts and panels before operating.
■ Do not use an extension cord.
■ Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
■ Do not store explosive substances such as aerosol cans with a flammable propellant in this appliance.
■ To prevent suffocation and entrapment hazards to children, remove the fresh food and freezer doors from any refrigerator before disposing of it or discontinuing its use.
■ To avoid serious injury or death, children should not stand on, or play in or with the appliance.
■ Children and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge can use this appliance only if they are supervised or have been given instructions on safe use and understand the hazards involved.
This appliance is intended to be used in household and similar applications such as: staff kitchen areas in shops, offices and other working environments; farm houses; by clients in hotels, motels, bed & breakfast and other residential environments; catering and similar non-retail applications.
■ Connect to potable water supply only. A cold water supply is required for automatic icemaker operation. The water pressure must be between 40 and 120 psi (275-827 kilopascals).
- Do not apply harsh cleaners to the refrigerator. Certain cleaners will damage plastic which may cause parts such as the door or door handles to detach unexpectedly. See the Care and Cleaning section for detailed instructions.
CAUTION
To reduce the risk of injury when using your refrigerator, follow these basic safety precautions.
- Do not clean glass shelves or covers with warm water when they are cold. Glass shelves and covers may break if exposed to sudden temperature changes or impact, such as bumping or dropping. Tempered glass is designed to shatter into many small pieces if it breaks.
- Keep fingers out of the “pinch point” areas; clearances between the doors and between the doors and cabinet are necessarily small. Be careful closing doors when children are in the area.
■ Do not touch the cold surfaces in the freezer compartment when hands are damp or wet, skin may stick to these extremely cold surfaces.
■ Do not refreeze frozen foods which have thawed completely.
In refrigerators with automatic icemakers, avoid contact with the moving parts of the ejector mechanism, or with the heating element that releases the cubes. Do not place fingers or hands on the automatic ice making mechanism while the refrigerator is plugged in.

WARNING

PLOSION HAZARD
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from refrigerator. Failure to do so can result in fire, explosion, or death.
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE
CONNECTING ELECTRICITY
WARNING

LECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet
Do not remove the 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.
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded.
The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a standard 3-prong (grounding) wall outlet to minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard from this appliance.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded.
Where a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet. Do not use an adapter.
The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating that matches the rating plate.
A 115 Volt AC, 60 Hz, 15- or 20-amp fused, grounded electrical supply is required. This provides the best performance and also prevents overloading house wiring circuits which could cause a fire hazard from overheated wires.
Never unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the power cord. Always grip plug firmly and pull straight out from the outlet.
Immediately discontinue use of a damaged supply cord. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a qualified service professional with an authorized service part from the manufacturer.
When moving the refrigerator away from the wall, be careful not to roll over or damage the power cord.

NOTE: To avoid water deposits, the dispenser should be cleaned periodically by wiping with a clean cloth or sponge.
Important Facts About Your Dispensers
■ Do not add ice from trays or bags to the door icemaker bucket. It may not crush or dispense.
■ Avoid overfilling glass with ice and use of narrow glasses. Backed-up ice can jam the chute or cause the door in the chute to freeze shut. If ice is blocking the chute remove the ice bucket, poke it through with a wooden spoon.
■ Beverages and foods should not be quick-chilled in the door icemaker bin. Cans, bottles or food packages in the storage drawer may cause the icemaker or auger to jam.
■ To keep dispensed ice from missing the glass, put the glass close to, but not touching, the dispenser opening.
■ Some crushed ice may be dispensed even though you selected CUBED ICE. This happens occasionally when a few cubes accidentally get directed to the crusher.
■ After crushed ice is dispensed, some water may drip from the chute.
■ Sometimes a small mound of frost will form on the door in the ice chute. This condition is normal and usually occurs when you have dispensed crushed ice repeatedly.
Water Filter Cartridge
The water filter cartridge holder is located in the back upper-right corner of the fresh food refrigerator compartment.
When to Replace the Filter
If there is a replacement indicator light for the water filter cartridge on the dispenser, the red filter light will start blinking to tell you that you need to replace the filter soon.
- For external control models, the filter light will blink while you are dispensing until the filter is replaced.
- For top control models, the filter light will blink while the door is open until the filter is replaced.
For models that don't have the indicator light, the filter cartridge should be replaced every six months, or earlier if the flow of water to the dispenser or icemaker decreases.
Removing the Filter
If you are replacing the filter, first remove the previous one:
- Open the filter cartridge housing by squeezing the 2 front tabs and gently pulling down.
- Rotate the filter down.
- Gently grasp the filter and slowly turn it counterclockwise about a 14 turn. The filter should automatically release itself when you have rotated it far enough to the left. A small amount of water may drip down.
CAUTION
If air has been trapped in the system, the filter cartridge may be ejected as it is removed. Use caution when removing.
Filter Bypass Plug
To reduce the risk of property damage due to water leakage, you MUST use the filter bypass plug when a replacement filter cartridge is not available. Some models do not come equipped with the filter bypass plug. To obtain a free bypass plug, visit us on-line at cafeappliances.com/service. In Canada, visit cafeappliances.ca/service. The dispenser and icemaker will not operate without either the filter or the bypass plug installed. The bypass plug is installed in the same way as a filter cartridge.

CONNECTING TO THE HOUSE WATER LINE
(Icemaker models only)
A cold water supply is required for automatic icemaker operation. If there is not a cold water supply, you will need to provide one. See Installing the Water Line section.
NOTES:
- Before making the connection to the refrigerator, be sure the refrigerator power cord is not plugged into the wall outlet.
- If your refrigerator does not have a water filter, we recommend installing one if your water supply has sand or particles that could clog the screen of the refrigerator's water valve. Install it in the water line near the refrigerator. If using Universal Water Line Refrigerator Tubing Kit, you will need an additional tube (WX08X10002) to connect the filter. Do not cut plastic tube to install filter.
- Before connecting the water line to the house, purge the house line for at least 2 minutes.
A. If you are using copper tubing, place a compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) onto the end of the tubing coming from the house cold water supply.
If you are using the Universal tubing, the nuts are already assembled to the tubing.
B. If you are using copper tubing, insert the end of the tubing into the refrigerator connection, at the back of the refrigerator, as far as possible. While holding the tubing, tighten the fitting.
If you are using Universal tubing, insert the molded end of the tubing into the refrigerator connection, at the back of the refrigerator, and tighten the compression nut until it is hand tight. Then tighten one additional turn with a wrench. Over tightening may cause leaks.
C. Fasten the tubing into the clamp provided to hold it in position. You may need to pry open the clamp.
One of the illustrations below will look like the connection on your refrigerator.
WARNING
Connect to potable water supply only.
A cold water supply is required for automatic icemaker operation. The water pressure must be between 40 and 120 psi (275-827 kilopascals).

INSTALLING THE WATER LINE
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
If the water supply to the refrigerator is from a Reverse Osmosis Water Filtration System (RO) AND the refrigerator also has a water filter, use the refrigerator's filter bypass plug. Using the refrigerator's water filtration cartridge in conjunction with an RO water filter can result in hollow ice cubes. Some models do not come equipped with the filter bypass plug. To obtain a free bypass plug, visit cafeappliances.com/service. In Canada, visit cafeappliances.ca/service.
This water line installation is not warranted by the refrigerator or icemaker manufacturer. Follow these instructions carefully to minimize the risk of expensive water damage.
Water hammer (water banging in the pipes) in house plumbing can cause damage to refrigerator parts and lead to water leakage or flooding. Call a qualified plumber to correct water hammer before installing the water supply line to the refrigerator.
To prevent burns and product damage, do not hook up the water line to the hot water line.
Do not install the icemaker tubing in areas where temperatures fall below freezing.
When using any electrical device (such as a power drill) during installation, be sure the device is double insulated or grounded in a manner to prevent the hazard of electric shock, or is battery powered.
All installations must be in accordance with local plumbing code requirements.
WHAT YOU WILL NEED

- Copper or Universal Water Line Refrigerator Tubing Kit, 1/4" outer diameter to connect the refrigerator to the water supply. If using copper, be sure both ends of the tubing are cut square.
To determine how much tubing you need: measure the distance from the water valve on the back of the refrigerator to the water supply pipe. Be sure there is sufficient extra tubing to allow the refrigerator to move out from the wall after installation.
Universal Water Line Refrigerator Tubing Kits are available in the following lengths:
6' (1.8 m) - WX08X10006
15' (4.6 m) - WX08X10015
25' (7.6 m) - WX08X10025
WARNING
Connect to potable water supply only.
A cold water supply is required for automatic icemaker operation. The water pressure must be between 40 and 120 psi (275-827 kilopascals)
INSTALLING THE WATER LINE (Cont.)
WHAT YOU WILL NEED (Cont.)
NOTE: The only Crosley approved plastic tubing is that supplied in Universal Water Line Refrigerator Tubing Kits. Do not use any other plastic water supply line because the line is under pressure at all times. Certain types of plastic will crack or rupture with age and cause water damage to your home.
- A water supply kit (containing tubing, shutoff valve and fittings listed below) is available at extra cost from your dealer or from cafeappliances.com/parts. In Canada, visit cafeappliances.ca/parts.
- A cold water supply. The water pressure must be between 20 and 120 p.s.i. (138-827 kPa).
- Power drill.

- 1/2" or adjustable wrench.
• Straight and Phillips blade screwdriver.

- Two 1/4" outer diameter compression nuts and 2 ferrules (sleeves)—to connect the copper tubing to the shutoff valve and the refrigerator water valve. OR
- If you are using a Universal Water Line Refrigerator Tubing Kit, the necessary fittings are preassembled to the tubing.

- 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. Do not cut formed end from Universal Water Line Refrigerator tubing.

- 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" 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.
Install the shutoff valve on the nearest frequently used drinking water line.
1 SHUT OFF THE MAIN WATER SUPPLY
Turn on the nearest faucet long enough to clear the line of water.
② CHOOSE THE VALVE LOCATION
Choose a location for the valve that is easily accessible. It is best to connect into the side of a vertical water pipe. When it is necessary to connect into a horizontal water pipe, make the connection to the top or side, rather than at the bottom, to avoid drawing off any sediment from the water pipe.

③ DRILL THE HOLE FOR THE VALVE
Drill a 1/4" hole in the water pipe (even if using a self-piercing valve), using a sharp bit. Remove any burrs resulting from drilling the hole in the pipe.
Take care not to allow water to drain into the drill.
Failure to drill a 1/4" hole may result in reduced ice production or smaller cubes.

Route the tubing between the cold water line and the refrigerator.
Route the tubing through a hole drilled in the wall or floor (behind the refrigerator or adjacent base cabinet) as close to the wall as possible.
7 FASTEN THE SHUTOFF VALVE
Place the compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) for copper tubing onto the end of the tubing and connect it to the shutoff valve.
Make sure the tubing is fully inserted into the valve. Tighten the compression nut securely.
For plastic tubing from a Universal Water Line Refrigerator Tubing Kit, insert the molded end of the tubing into the shutoff valve and tighten compression nut until it is hand tight, then tighten one additional turn with a wrench. Over tightening may cause leaks.

8 FLUSH OUT THE TUBING
Turn the main water supply on and flush out the tubing until the water is clear.
Shut the water off at the water valve after about one quart (1 liter), or 2 minutes, of water has been flushed through the tubing.

natural_image
Simple line drawing of a flower with petals and a curved arrow, no text or symbols presentNewer refrigerators sound different from older refrigerators.
Modern refrigerators have more features and use newer technology.
Do you hear what I hear? These conditions are normal.
HUMMM...

WHOOSH...
■ The new high efficiency compressor may run faster and longer than your old refrigerator and you may hear a high-pitched hum or pulsating sound while it is operating.
■ You may hear a whooshing sound when the doors close. This is due to pressure equalizing within the refrigerator.
WHIR!

- You may hear the fans spinning at high speeds. This happens when the refrigerator is first plugged in, when the doors are opened frequently or when a large amount of food is added to the refrigerator or freezer compartments. The fans are helping to maintain the correct temperatures.
■ The fans change speeds in order to provide optimal cooling and energy savings.
CLICKS, POPS, CRACKS and SNAPS
■ You may hear cracking or popping sounds when the refrigerator is first plugged in. This happens as the refrigerator cools to the correct temperature.
■ Expansion and contraction of cooling coils during and after defrost can cause a cracking or popping sound.
■ On models with an icemaker, after an ice making cycle, you may hear the ice cubes dropping into the ice bucket.
■ On models with a dispenser, during water dispense, you may hear the water lines move at initial dispense and after dispenser button is released.
WATER SOUNDS

■ The flow of refrigerant through the cooling coils may make a gurgling noise like boiling water.
■ Water dropping on the defrost heater can cause a sizzling, popping or buzzing sound during the defrost cycle.
■ A water dripping noise may occur during the defrost cycle as ice melts from the evaporator and flows into the drain pan.
■ Closing the door may cause a gurgling sound due to pressure equalization.
