WARNING

These guidelines must be followed to ensure that safety mechanisms in this refrigerator will operate properly.

Electrical information

- The refrigerator must be plugged into its own dedicated 115 Volt, 60 Hz., 15 Amp, AC only electrical outlet. The power cord of the appliance is equipped with a 3-prong grounding plug for your protection against electrical shock hazards. It must be plugged directly into a properly grounded 3-prong receptacle. The receptacle must be installed in accordance with local codes and ordinances. Consult a qualified electrician. Avoid connecting refrigerator to a Ground Fault Interrupter (GFI) circuit. Do not use an extension cord or adapter plug.

• If the power cord is damaged, it should be replaced by an authorized service technician to prevent any risk.
• Never unplug the refrigerator by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly, and pull straight out from the receptacle to prevent damaging the power cord.
• Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning and before replacing a light to avoid electrical shock.
• Performance may be affected if the voltage varies by 10% or more. Operating the refrigerator with insufficient power can damage the compressor. Such damage is not covered under your warranty.
• Do not plug the unit into an electrical outlet controlled by a wall switch or pull cord to prevent the refrigerator from being turned off accidentally.

IMPORTANT

Turning the Refrigerator controls to "OFF" will disable your refrigerator's cooling system, but does not disconnect the power to the light and other electrical components. To turn off power to your refrigerator you must unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet.

Optional Ice Maker Kit Installed

WARNING

To avoid electric shock, which can cause death or severe personal injury, disconnect the refrigerator from electrical power before connecting a water supply line to the refrigerator.

CAUTION

To Avoid Property Damage:

• Use stainless steel braided tubing for the water supply line. Do not use water supply tubing made of 14 in. plastic. Plastic tubing greatly increases the potential for water leaks, and the manufacturer will not be responsible for any damage if you use plastic tubing for the supply line.
• DO NOT install water supply tubing in areas where temperatures fall below freezing.
• Chemicals from a malfunctioning softener can damage the ice maker. If the ice maker is connected to soft water, ensure that the softener is maintained and working properly.

IMPORTANT

Ensure that your water supply line connections comply with all local plumbing codes.

NOTE

Check with your local building authority for recommendations on water lines and associated materials prior to installing your new refrigerator. Depending on your local/state building codes, for homes with existing valves use Smart Choice® water line kit 5304437642 (with a 6 ft. Stainless Steel Water Line) and for homes without an existing valve, use Smart Choice® water line kit 5304493869 (with a 6' Polyline Waterline). For more information call [phone].

NOTE

These instructions do not cover aftermarket ice maker installation. Use instructions in the ice maker kit (IM117000).

Before Installing The Water Supply Line, You Will Need:

• Basic Tools: adjustable wrench, flat-blade screwdriver, and Phillips™ screwdriver
• Access to a household cold water line with water pressure between 30 and 100 psi.
• A water supply line made of 14 in. (6.4 mm) OD, copper or stainless steel tubing. To determine the length of tubing needed, measure the distance from the ice maker inlet valve at the back of the refrigerator to your cold water pipe. Then add approximately 7 ft (2.1 m.), so the refrigerator can be moved out for cleaning (as shown).
• A shutoff valve to connect the water supply line to your household water system. DO NOT use a self-piercing type shutoff valve.
• Do not reuse compression fitting or use thread seal tape.
• A compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) for connecting a copper water supply line to the ice maker inlet valve.

To Connect Water Supply Line To The Ice Maker Inlet Valve

1. Disconnect the refrigerator from the electrical power source.

2. Place the end of the water supply line into a sink or bucket. Turn ON the water supply and flush the supply line until the water is clear. Turn OFF water supply at shutoff valve.

3. Remove plastic cap from water valve inlet and discard cap.

4. If you use copper tubing - Slide brass compression nut, then ferrule (sleeve) onto water supply line. Push water supply line into water valve inlet as far as it will go (¼ in. / 6.4 mm). Slide ferrule (sleeve) into valve inlet and finger tighten compression nut onto valve. Tighten another half turn with a wrench; DO NOT overtighten. See Figure 1.

If you use braided flexible stainless steel tubing - The nut is already assembled on the tubing. Slide nut onto valve inlet and finger tighten nut onto valve. Tighten another half turn with a wrench; DO NOT overtighten. See Figure 2.

1. With steel clamp and screw, secure water supply line (copper tubing only) to rear panel of refrigerator as shown.

2. Coil excess water supply line (copper tubing only), about 2½ turns, behind refrigerator as shown and arrange coils so they do not vibrate or wear against any other surface.

3. To turn ice maker on, press the ice maker's On/Off power switch so the LED is steadily illuminated.

NOTE

Automatic ice makers are optional accessories that may be installed in most models at any time. Call [phone] for information about Ice Maker Kit 117000.

NOTE

If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker, it will produce minimal ice during the first 24 hours of operation. Air in new plumbing lines may cause the ice maker to cycle 2 or 3 times before making a full tray of ice. With no usage, it will take approximately 1 to 2 days to fill the ice container.

New plumbing connections may cause the first production of ice cubes to be discolored or have an odd flavor. Discard ice made during the first 24 hours.

IMPORTANT

The ice maker is shipped in the On position. To ensure proper function for your ice maker, hook up the water supply immediately or turn the ice maker OFF. If the ice maker is on and the water supply is not connected, the water valve will make a loud chattering noise.

Turning your Ice Maker On

After completely connecting the plumbing, you must open the water supply valve. Place the ice container under the ice maker, pushing it as far back as possible. Press the ice maker's On/Off ⏻ button.

Turning your Ice Maker Off

To stop the ice maker, press the ice maker's On/Off ⏻ button. The ice maker regulates the ice production and stops making ice when full and starts again when ice is low in the ice container.

ICE PRODUCTION: WHAT TO EXPECT

The ice maker will produce 2 to 2.5 pounds of ice every 24 hours depending on usage conditions. Ice is produced at a rate of 10 cubes every 100 to 160 minutes.

CAUTION

Do Not place the ice container in your dishwasher.

Cool Down Period

To ensure safe food storage, allow the refrigerator to operate with the doors closed for at least 8 hours before loading it with food.

Refrigerator & Freezer Controls

NOTE

When first turning refrigerator on, adjust control to recommended. After 24 hours, adjust the controls as needed.

Cold OFF Coldest Recommended

Refrigerator Control

IMPORTANT

Adjusting the refrigerator temperature control to "OFF" turns off the compressor and prevents the refrigerator from cooling, but does not disconnect the power to the light bulb and other electrical components. To turn off power to your refrigerator, you must unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.

Temperature Adjustment

Adjust temperature gradually: adjust the knob in small increments, allowing the temperature to stabilize.

• For colder temperatures, adjust the knob towards Coldest.
• For warmer temperatures, adjust the knob towards Cold.

Adjusting the refrigerator control will change temperatures in both compartments. You can leave the auxiliary freezer control at the factory pre-set (*recommended) or adjusted as desired; it has no effect on the electrical power to the refrigerator.

To maintain temperatures, a fan circulates air in the refrigerator and freezer compartments. For good circulation, do not block cold air vents with food items.

Cold Coldest Recommended

Auxiliary Freezer Control

NOTE

Automatic ice makers are optional accessories that may be installed in most models at any time. Call [phone] for information about Ice Maker Kit 117000.

Shelf Adjustment

CAUTION

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, handle tempered glass shelves carefully. Shelves may break suddenly if nicked, scratched, or exposed to sudden temperature change.

Easily adjust refrigerator shelves to suit individual needs. Before adjusting the shelves, remove all food.

1. To adjust sliding shelves, slide shelf by moving forward and lifting upward.
2. To replace shelves, insert the rear of the shelf into any pair of shelf rails and carefully push shelf back into position making sure the shelf clips go in the notch in the liner.

CAUTION

Reinstall the shelf and ensure the retainer is engaged to the liner and holds in place.

VEGETABLES HI FRUITS LO FRESH | STORAGE

Technical diagram of a mechanical component with directional arrows indicating movement or force (no text or symbols present)

NOTE

Leafy vegetables keep best when stored with the Humidity Control set on High Humidity, or in a drawer without a Humidity Control. This keeps incoming air to a minimum and maintains maximum moisture content. Store non-leafy vegetables and fruits still in their skins at the low humidity setting.

Understanding the sounds you may hear

Your new, high-efficiency refrigerator may introduce unfamiliar sounds. These sounds normally indicate your refrigerator is operating correctly. Some surfaces on floors, walls, and kitchen cabinets may make these sounds more noticeable.

NOTE

Rigid foam insulation is very energy efficient, but is not a sound insulator.

Technical diagram of an appliance cooling system with labeled components A through F

Following is a list of major components in your refrigerator and the sounds they can cause:

A Evaporator Refrigerant through the evaporator may create a boiling or gurgling sound.
B Evaporator fan You may hear air being forced through the refrigerator by the evaporator fan.
C Defrost heater During defrost cycles, water dripping onto the defrost heater may cause a hissing or sizzling sound. After defrosting, a popping sound may occur.

IMPORTANT

During the automatic defrost cycle, you may notice a red glow in the vents on the back wall of your freezer compartment. This is normal during the defrost cycle.

D Automatic defrost control These parts can produce a snapping or clicking sound when turning the cooling system on and off.
E Compressor Modern, high-efficiency compressors run much faster than in the past. The compressor may have a high-pitched hum or pulsating sound.
F Drain pan (not removable) You may hear water dripping into the drain pan during the defrost cycle.

Protecting your investment

NOTE

If you set your temperature controls to turn off cooling, power to lights and other electrical components will continue until you unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.

Keeping your appliance clean maintains appearance and prevents odor build-up. Wipe up any spills immediately and clean the freezer and refrigerator compartments at least twice a year. When cleaning, take the following precautions:

• Never use CHLORIDE or cleaners with bleach to clean stainless steel.
• Do not wash any removable parts in a dishwasher.
• Always unplug the electrical power cord from the wall outlet before cleaning.
• Remove adhesive labels by hand. Do not use razor blades or other sharp instruments which can scratch the appliance surface.
• Do not remove the serial plate.

Do not use abrasive cleaners such as window sprays, scouring cleansers, brushes, flammable fluids, cleaning waxes, concentrated detergents, bleaches or cleansers containing petroleum products on plastic parts, interior doors, gaskets or cabinet liners. Do not use paper towels, metallic scouring pads, or other abrasive cleaning materials or strong alkaline solutions.

CAUTION

Pull the refrigerator straight out to move it. Shifting it from side to side may damage flooring. Be careful not to move the refrigerator beyond the plumbing connections.

IMPORTANT

If you store or move your refrigerator in freezing temperatures, be sure to completely drain the water supply system. Failure to do so could result in water leaks when the refrigerator is put back into service. Contact a service representative to perform this operation.
