Proper Disposal of your Appliance Risk of child entrapment

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

Proper Disposal of Refrigerators/Freezers

We strongly encourage responsible appliance recycling/disposal methods. Check with your utility company or visit energystar.gov/recycle for more information on recycling your old refrigerator.

Before you throw away your old refrigerator/freezer:

• Remove doors.
• Leave shelves in place so children may not easily climb inside.
• Have refrigerant removed by a qualified service technician.

IMPORTANT

CFC/HCFC Disposal

Your old refrigerator may have a cooling system that used CFCs or HCFCs (chlorofluorocarbons or hydrochlorofluorocarbons). CFCs and HCFCs are believed to harm stratospheric ozone if released to the atmosphere. Other refrigerants may also cause harm to the environment if released to the atmosphere.

If you are throwing away your old refrigerator, make sure the refrigerant is removed for proper disposal by a qualified technician. If you intentionally release refrigerant, you may be subject to fines and imprisonment under provisions of environmental legislation.

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 three-prong grounding plug for your protection against electrical shock hazards. It must be plugged directly into a properly grounded three-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 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.

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:

• Copper or Stainless Steel braided tubing is recommended for the water supply line. Water supply tubing made of 14 " plastic is not recommended to be used. Plastic tubing greatly increases the potential for water leaks, and the manufacturer will not be responsible for any damage if plastic tubing is used for the supply line.
• DO NOT install water supply tubing in areas where temperatures fall below freezing.
  • Chemicals from a malfunctioning water softener can damage the ice maker. If your home has a water softening system, ensure the softener is maintained and working properly.

IMPORTANT

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

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'' (6.4 mm) OD, copper or stainless steel tubing. To determine the length of tubing needed, measure the distance from the water inlet valve at the back of the refrigerator to your cold water pipe. Then add approximately 6' (1.8 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 fittings or use thread seal tape.
• A compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) for connecting a copper water supply line to the ice maker inlet valve.

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, we recommend, for homes with existing valves, a 6' (1.8 m) Stainless Steel Water Line, and for homes without an existing valve we recommend a 20' (6 m) Copper Water Line with self-tapping saddle valve. Call 833-337-4006 for more information.

To Connect Water Supply Line To Main Water Inlet Valve

1. Disconnect refrigerator from electric power source.
2. Place end of water supply line into sink or bucket. Turn ON water supply and flush supply line until 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"/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.

Refrigerator Ice Maker

Priming the water supply system

Using the dispenser after installation

Before making ice for the first time, be sure to prime the water supply system. Air in new plumbing lines can result in 2 or 3 empty ice maker cycles. Furthermore, if the system is not flushed, the first ice cubes may have discolored water or have an odd flavor.

CAUTION

For proper dispenser operation, we recommend the water supply pressure should fall between 30 psi and 100 psi. Excessive pressure may cause the system to malfunction.

1. Begin filling the system by pressing and holding a drinking glass against the water dispenser paddle.
2. Keep the glass in this position until water comes out of the dispenser. It may take about 1½ minutes.
3. Continue dispensing water for about 4 minutes to flush the system and plumbing connections of any impurities (stopping to empty the glass as necessary).

Dispenser

NOTE

The water dispenser has a built-in device that shuts off the water flow after 3 minutes of continuous use. To reset this shutoff device, simply release the dispenser paddle.

NOTE

Dispensed water is not chilled. For colder water, add ice to cup or container before dispensing water.

Ice maker operation and care

After you properly install the refrigerator and it has cooled for several hours, the ice maker can produce ice within 24 hours. The ice maker will fill the ice bin from the rear. You must dispense some ice to force the ice forward in the bin. This will allow the bin to fill completely.

Ice Maker and Storage Bin Capacity

In a Standard Depth model, the refrigerator ice maker should produce 3.0 to 3.4 pounds of ice per 24 hours. In a Counter Depth model, the refrigerator ice maker should produce 2.7 to 3.2 pounds of ice per 24 hours.

In a Standard Depth model, the refrigerator ice bin will hold around 5 pounds of ice. In a Counter Depth model, the refrigerator ice bin will hold around 3.7 pounds of ice.

Ice production is controlled by the ice maker's On/Off feature on the appliance control panel. Pressing the On/Off feature turns the ice maker on & off.

IMPORTANT

Turning off the ice maker simply disables ice making. You will still be able to dispense existing ice, and you will still be able to dispense water.

NOTE

The ice maker also has a built-in plastic signal arm that automatically stops ice production when the ice bin is full. This signal arm should not be used to manually stop the ice maker.

IMPORTANT

Your ice maker is turned on at the factory so it can work as soon as you install your refrigerator. If you cannot connect a water supply, set the ice maker's On/Off feature to Off; otherwise, the ice maker's fill valve may make a loud chattering noise when it attempts to operate without water.

IMPORTANT

On occasion, you may notice unusually small ice cubes in the bucket or in dispensed ice. This could occur in normal operation of the ice maker. If you start seeing these more frequently, it may indicate low water pressure or the water filter needs to be replaced. As the water filter nears the end of its useful life and becomes clogged with particles, less water is delivered to the ice maker during each cycle. Remember, if it's been 6 months or longer since you last changed your water filter, replace the water filter with a new one. Poor quality household water may require you change the filter more frequently.

Ice maker/dispenser tips

• If your refrigerator is not connected to a water supply or the water supply is turned off, turn off the ice maker as described in the previous section.

• The following sounds are normal when the ice maker is operating:

• Motor running

• Ice dropping into ice bin
• Water valve opening or closing
• Running water

- If you need a large quantity of ice at one time, it is best to get cubes directly from the ice bin.

• Ice cubes stored too long may develop an odd flavor. Empty the ice bin as explained below.
• When dispensing cubed ice, it is normal to have a small quantity of little pieces along with the whole cubes.
  • To avoid splashing, dispense ice into your container before adding liquids.
• It is normal for ice to fill to the top of the ice bin.

CAUTION

If the water supply to your refrigerator is softened, be sure to properly maintain the softener. Chemicals from a water softener can damage the ice maker.

Removing Ice Bin

1. Turn off the ice maker.
2. Lift the ice bin upward then pull straight out to remove.
3. Empty and carefully clean the ice bin with mild detergent. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners. Rinse with clean water.
4. Allow the ice bin to dry completely before replacing in the freezer.
5. Replace the ice bin. Turn the ice maker on.

Remove and empty the ice bin if:

• An extended power failure (one hour or longer) causes ice cubes in the ice bin to melt and refreeze together after power is restored, jamming the dispenser mechanism.
• You do not use the ice dispenser frequently. Ice cubes will freeze together in the bin, jamming the dispenser mechanism.

CAUTION

NEVER use an ice pick or similar sharp instrument to break up the ice. This could damage the ice bin and dispenser mechanism.

To loosen stuck ice, use warm water. Before replacing the ice bin, make sure it is completely dry.

IMPORTANT

When removing or replacing the ice bin, avoid rotating the auger in the ice bin. If you accidentally rotate the auger, you must realign the auger by turning it in 45° turns (see below) until the ice bin fits into place with the drive mechanism. If you do not properly align the auger when replacing the ice bin, the refrigerator will not dispense ice. The refrigerator door also may not close properly causing warm air to leak into the refrigerator compartment.

Ice Maker Operation & Care

After the refrigerator is installed properly, the ice maker can produce ice within 24 hours. When using the ice maker for the first time, and in order for it to work properly, it is necessary to clear air from the water tubing and the filter. Furthermore, if the system is not flushed, the first ice cubes may be discolored or have an odd flavor. Once the ice maker begins making ice, allow the bin to fill completely, then discard the first FULL bin of ice.

Ice Maker and Storage Bin Capacity

This ice maker should produce between 2 and 2.5 pounds of ice per 24 hours depending on usage conditions. For a Standard Depth unit, the ice bin should hold around 12 pounds of ice. For a Counter Depth unit, the ice bin should hold around 9 pounds of ice.

NOTE

The ice maker will only produce the advertised production rate if the product is set at 0^ F.

Turning the ice maker on and off

Press power button to turn Ice Maker on (button will not illuminate).

NOTE

The Freezer Ice maker fills from the back left-hand corner of the bin. Moving the ice to the edges of the bin allows the bin to fill completely.

continue pushing the front half shelf back and under the rear half shelf.

Reposition the Air Seal

For glass shelves:

1. Remove the air seal by pushing the seal straight back.
2. Position the air seal toward the outside edge of the shelf to avoid the air tower when you push the shelf back into place.
3. Install the seal by sliding the open channel end of the seal onto the back edge of the shelf until the seal sits snug on the back of the shelf and the flap sits at about a 10^ angle from the shelf surface.

IMPORTANT

Be aware of the air seal located at the rear of the shelf. Shelves located on the left side should have the air seal mounted on the far left side. Shelves located on the right side should have the air seal mounted on the far right side. This is to ensure there is no interference with the large air tower on the back wall of the cabinet. This also applies to the crisper shelves.

Ideas for storing foods

Refrigerator storage

• Keep the refrigerator compartment between 34°F and 40°F with an optimum temperature of 37°F.
• Avoid overcrowding the refrigerator shelves, which reduces air circulation and causes uneven cooling.
• Avoid placing food in front of air ports. (See CONTROLS AND SETTINGS for illustration.)

Fruits and vegetables

• Store fruits and vegetables in crisper drawers, where trapped moisture helps preserve food quality for longer time periods.
• Wash items and remove excess water.
• Wrap any items that have strong odors or high moisture content.

Meat

• Wrap raw meat and poultry separately and securely to prevent leaks and contamination of other foods or surfaces.
• Use the deli drawer to store meat/poultry for short-term storage. Freeze any meat to be kept longer than 2 days.

Frozen food storage

• Keep the freezer compartment at 0°F or lower.
• A freezer operates most efficiently when it is at least 23 full.

Packaging foods for freezing

• To minimize food dehydration and quality deterioration, use aluminum foil, freezer wrap, freezer bags, or airtight containers. Force as much air out of the packages as possible and seal them tightly. Trapped air can cause food to dry out, change color, and develop an off-flavor (freezer burn).
• Wrap fresh meats and poultry with suitable freezer wrap prior to freezing.
• Do not refreeze meat that has completely thawed.

Loading the freezer

• Prior to grocery shopping, we recommend you activate Freeze Boost to freeze your food faster. It will remain active up to 24 hours.

• Activating Freeze Boost will help your freezer more efficiently maintain the selected temperature after placing new purchases with pre-existing frozen foods.

• Avoid adding too much warm food to the freezer at one time. This overloads the freezer, slows the rate of freezing, and can raise the temperature of frozen foods.

• Leave a space between packages, so cold air can circulate freely, allowing food to freeze as quickly as possible.

Ideas for saving energy

Installation

• Locate the refrigerator in the coolest part of the room, out of direct sunlight, and away from heating ducts or registers.
• Do not place the refrigerator next to heat-producing appliances such as a range, oven, or dishwasher. If this is not possible, a section of cabinetry or an added layer of insulation between the two appliances will help the refrigerator operate more efficiently.
• Level the refrigerator so that the doors close tightly.

Temperature settings

• Refer to CONTROLS AND SETTINGS for procedures on temperature settings.

Food storage

• Avoid overcrowding the refrigerator or blocking cold air vents. Doing so causes the refrigerator to run longer and use more energy.
• Cover foods and wipe containers dry before placing them in the refrigerator. This cuts down on moisture build-up inside the unit.
• Organize the refrigerator to reduce door openings. Remove as many items as needed at one time and close the door as soon as possible.
• Do not place a hot container directly on a cold shelf. Remember, such an extreme temperature change may damage the glass.

NOTE

Energy efficient foam in your refrigerator is not a sound insulator.

NOTE

During the automatic defrost cycle, a red glow in the back wall vents of your freezer compartment is normal.

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.

The 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.
D. Automatic ice maker When ice has been produced, you will hear ice cubes falling into the ice bin. The ice maker fan, water valve activation, and refrigerant gas fluid may create sounds from operation.
E. Electronic control & automatic defrost control These parts can produce a snapping or clicking sound when turning the cooling system on and off.
F. Condenser fan You may hear air being forced through the condenser.
G. Compressor Modern, high-efficiency compressors run much faster than older models. The compressor may have a high-pitched hum or pulsating sound.

H. Water valve Makes a buzzing sound each time it opens to fill the ice maker.
I. Drain pan (not removable) You may hear water dripping into the drain pan during the defrost cycle.
J. Condenser May create minimal sounds from forced air.
K. Motorized damper May produce a light humming during operation.
L. Ice dispensing paddle When dispensing ice, you will hear a snapping, clicking, or popping sound.

9. Press and hold Water Filter on the appliance control display for 3 seconds. When the display changes from red to green, the status has been reset.

Protecting your investment

Keeping your refrigerator clean maintains its appearance and prevents odor build-up.

NOTE

Do not use abrasive cleaners such as window sprays, scouring cleansers, 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, scouring pads, or other abrasive cleaning materials.

Wipe up any spills immediately and clean the freezer and refrigerator compartments at least twice a year.

• Never use metallic scouring pads, brushes, abrasive cleaners, or strong alkaline solutions on any surface.
• Never use CHLORIDE or cleaners with bleach to clean stainless steel.

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.

• 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. Removal of your serial plate voids your warranty.
• Before moving your refrigerator, raise the anti-tip brackets so the rollers will work correctly. This will prevent the floor from being damaged.

Concern Potential Cause Common Solution
Automatic Ice Maker
Ice maker is not making any ice.	Ice maker is turned off.Refrigerator is not connected to water line or water valve is not open.The water supply line is kinked.The water filter is not seated properly.The water filter may be clogged with foreign material.The ice maker bail arm is being held up by an item not allowing it to go in the on or down position.

Concern Potential Cause Common Solution
Automatic Ice Maker (Cont'd)
Ice maker is not making enough ice.	· Ice maker is producing less ice than you expect.· The water filter may be clogged with foreign material.· The water supply line is kinked.· Saddle valve on cold water pipe is clogged or restricted by foreign material.· Heavy traffic, opening or closing of the doors excessively.· Freezer control is set too warm (freezer ice maker).· Water pressure is extremely low. Cut-off and cut-on pressures are too low (well systems only).· Reverse osmosis system is in regenerative phase.	· The refrigerator ice maker should produce 2.7 to 3.2 pounds of ice per 24 hours.The refrigerator ice bin will hold around 3.7 pounds of ice.· If water dispenses slower than normal, or if the filter is 6 months old or older, it should be replaced.· Ensure that the supply line does not kink when the refrigerator is pushed into place against the wall.· Turn off household water line valve. Remove valve. Clean valve. Replace valve if necessary.· Set freezer control to colder setting to improve performance of the ice maker (freezer ice maker). Allow 24 hours for temperature to stabilize.· Have someone turn up the cut-off and cut-on pressure on the water pump system (well systems only).· It is normal for a reverse osmosis system to be below 20 psi during the regenerative phase.
Ice cubes are freezing together.	· Ice cubes are not being used frequently enough or interruption of power for prolonged time.· Ice cubes are hollow (shells of ice with water inside). The hollow cubes break open in the bin and leak their water onto existing ice, which causes it to freeze together.	· Remove ice container and discard ice. The ice maker will produce fresh supply. Ice should be used at least twice weekly to keep the cubes separated.· This generally occurs when the ice maker does not get enough water. This is usually the result of a clogged water filter or restricted water supply. Replace the water filter and if the condition still occurs check for a clogged Saddle Valve, water valve not turned on all the way or kinked water supply line.
Dispenser (Ice & Water)
Dispenser will not dispense ice.	There is no ice in the bin to be dispensed.The refrigerator doors are not completely closed.Dispenser paddle has been pressed too long and the dispenser motor has overheated.	See Ice maker is not making any ice.Make sure the refrigerator doors are completely closed.The motor overload protector will reset in about three minutes and then ice can be dispensed.
Ice dispenser is jammed.	Ice has melted and frozen around auger due to infrequent use, temperature fluctuations, and/or power outages.Ice cubes are jammed between ice maker and back of ice container.	Remove ice container, thaw, and empty the contents. Clean container, wipe dry, and replace in proper position. When new ice is made, dispenser should operate.Remove ice cubes that are jamming the dispenser.
Dispenser will not dispense water.	Water filter not seated properly.Water filter is clogged.Household water line valve is not open.	Remove and reinstall the water filter. Be sure to push the filter in all the way until it clicks into place and is secured inside of the water filter housing.Replace filter cartridge. Be sure to push filter all the way in until it clicks into place and is secured inside of the water filter housing.Open household water line valve. See the CONCERN column of AUTOMATIC ICE MAKER.
Water not cold enough.	The water dispensing system is not designed to chill water.	Add ice to cup or container before dispensing water.
Water has an odd taste and/ or odor.	Water has not been dispensed for an extended period of time.Unit not properly connected to cold water line.	Draw and discard 10-12 glasses of water to freshen the supply.Connect unit to cold water line that supplies water to the kitchen faucet.
Opening/Closing Of Doors/Drawers
Door(s) will not close.	·Door was closed too hard, causing other door to open slightly.·Refrigerator is not level. It rocks on the floor when moved slightly. Refrigerator is touching a wall or cabinet.	·Close both doors gently.·Ensure floor is level and solid, and can adequately support the refrigerator. Contact a carpenter to correct a sagging or sloping floor.
Drawers are difficult to move.	·Food is touching shelf on top of drawer.·Track that drawers slide on is dirty.	·Remove top layer of items in drawer.·Ensure drawer is properly installed on track.·Clean drawer, rollers, and track. See CARE AND CLEANING.
Running of Refrigerator
Compressor does not run.	·Freezer control is set to OF.·Refrigerator is in defrost cycle.·Plug at electrical outlet is disconnected.·House fuse blown or tripped circuit breaker.·Power outage.	·Set freezer control.·This is normal for a fully automatic defrost refrigerator. The defrost cycle occurs periodically, lasting about 30 minutes.·Ensure plug is tightly pushed into outlet.·Check/replace fuse with a 15 amp time-delay fuse. Reset circuit breaker.·Check house lights. Call local electric company.
Refrigerator seems to run too much or too long.	·Your variable speed compressor is designed to run 100% of the time except during the defrost cycle. At times it will run faster, such as after a defrost cycle.	·It is normal for the compressor to run continuously except during defrost mode.
Digital Temperature Setting Display
Digital temperature displays an error.	·Electronic control system has detected a performance problem.	·Call your service representative, who can interpret any messages or number codes flashing on the digital displays.
Water/Moisture/Frost Inside Refrigerator
Moisture collects on inside of refrigerator walls.	·Weather is hot and humid.·Flipper mullion	·The rate of frost buildup and internal sweating increases.·Adjust flipper mullion. (See To adjust the flipper mullion in INSTALLATION.)
Water collects on bottom side of drawer cover.	·Vegetables contain and give off moisture.	·It is not unusual to have moisture on the bottom side of the cover. Move humidity control (some models) to lower setting.
Water collects in bottom of drawer.	·Washed vegetables and fruit drain while in the drawer.	·Water collecting in bottom of drawer is normal. Dry items before putting them in the drawer or store produce in tightly sealed bags to help reduce condensation inside of the drawer.
Water/Moisture/Frost Outside Refrigerator
