Water Supply Requirements (Applicable only to units equipped with an ice maker)

Read all directions before you begin.

IMPORTANT:

■ 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.
■ If you turn the refrigerator on before the water line is connected, turn off the ice maker.
■ All installations must meet local plumbing code requirements.
■ Use copper or PEX tubing and check for leaks. Install copper or PEX tubing only in areas where the household temperatures will remain above freezing.

TOOLS NEEDED: Flat-blade screwdriver, 7/16" (11.11 mm) and 1/2" (12.7 mm) open-end wrenches or 2 adjustable wrenches, 1/4" (6.35 mm) nut driver and drill bit, cordless drill. Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation. Read and follow the instructions provided with any tools listed.

NOTE: Your refrigerator dealer has a kit available with a 1/4" (6.35 mm) saddle-type shut-off valve, a union, and copper or PEX tubing. Before purchasing, make sure a saddle-type valve complies with your local plumbing codes. Do not use a piercing-type or 3/16" (4.76 mm) saddle valve which reduces water flow and clogs more easily.

Water Pressure

A cold water supply with water pressure of between 30 psi and 120 psi (207 kPa and 827 kPa) is required to operate the ice maker. If you have questions about your water pressure, see "Troubleshooting" online or call a licensed, qualified plumber.

Reverse Osmosis Water Supply

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 to 60 psi (276 kPa to 414 kPa). If the ice maker is still not operating properly:

■ 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 you have questions about your water pressure, see "Troubleshooting" online or call a licensed, qualified plumber.

Connect the Water Supply

Read all directions before you begin.

IMPORTANT: If you turn on the refrigerator before the water line is connected, turn off the ice maker to avoid excessive noise or damage to the water valve.

Connect to Water Line

WARNING

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to lift the appliance door.

Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

Your refrigerator has two adjustable levelers, one on each side, at the base of the refrigerator. If your refrigerator seems unsteady or if you want the doors to close more easily, adjust the level and tilt of the refrigerator.

  1. Turn the leveler to the left to raise that side of the refrigerator or to the right to lower that side. It may take several turns to adjust the tilt of the refrigerator.

NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the refrigerator takes some weight off the levelers. This makes it easier to turn the levelers.

  1. Open both doors again to make sure that they close as easily as you like. If not, tilt the refrigerator slightly more to the rear by turning both levelers to the right. It may take several more turns.

NOTE: To keep the refrigerator level, make the same adjustment to each side.

  1. Using a level, make sure the refrigerator is still level from side to side. Readjust if necessary.

REFRIGERATOR AND FREEZER FEATURES

Refrigerator Shelves

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.

Refrigerator Shelves

The shelves in your refrigerator are adjustable to match your individual storage needs.

Storing similar food items together in your refrigerator and adjusting the shelves to fit different heights of items will make finding the exact item you want easier. It will also reduce the amount of time the refrigerator door is open, and save energy.

To remove and replace a shelf:

  1. Remove items from the shelf.
  2. Slide the shelf straight out to the stop.
  3. Depending on your model, lift back or front of the shelf past the stop. Slide shelf out the rest of the way.

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. Seal the package side of container securely to avoid taste and odor transfer throughout the product. 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 lbs to 3 lbs of food per cubic foot [907 g per L to 1,350 g per L] of freezer space). Leave enough space in the freezer for air to circulate around packages. The freezer door must close tightly.

NOTE: For more information on preparing food for freezing, check a freezer guide or reliable cookbook.

Operating Instructions

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS, before operating this appliance.

NOTE: Before operating this appliance, make sure it has been properly installed.

Your refrigerator has two controls that affect the temperature. The Temperature control is located at the top front of the refrigerator compartment and the Airflow control is located on the back wall of the freezer compartment.

Temperature Control

For convenience, the temperature control is preset at the factory. When you first install your refrigerator, make sure the control is still preset as shown in the table.

In some models

■ Press the Temp Setting button to toggle among the four LED lights which indicate the temperature setting. Reading from left to right, the LED in the first position is the least cold. The LEDs indicate increasingly colder settings as you continue to the right until all four LEDs are illuminated.

NOTE: For the first to fourth setting, only one LED of the four LEDs will be lit. All four LEDs will be lit when you have reached the coldest setting.

CONDITION/REASON CONDITION/REASON
Refrigerator too warm Tempcontrol one setting higher
Refrigerator too cold Tempcontrol one setting lower
Freezer too warm/too little ice*Airflow or Temp control one setting higher
Freezer too cold Airflow or Ttemp control one setting lower

*Ice makers and Ice maker kits are available on select models.

Cooling ON/OFF

■ To turn cooling off, press and hold the Setting button for 4 seconds until all lights stay on for 1 second. To turn cooling back on, press and hold the Setting button again for 4 seconds.

NOTE: Neither compartment will cool when the control is set to Off.

Airflow Control

The Temperature control is preset at the factory.

The Airflow control regulates the amount of air flowing between the freezer and the refrigerator compartments. Changing the Airflow setting to Min removes cool air from the freezer and uses it to cool the refrigerator.

When you plug in the refrigerator for the first time, turn the Airflow control to the Recommended setting.

IMPORTANT:

■ The recommended setting should be correct for normal household refrigerator use. The controls are set correctly when milk or juice is as cold as you like and when ice cream is firm.
■ Wait 24 hours for your refrigerator to cool completely before adding food. If you add food before the refrigerator has cooled completely, your food may spoil.

NOTE: Adjusting the refrigerator and freezer controls to a colder than recommended setting will not cool the compartments any faster.

If the temperature is too warm or too cold in the refrigerator or freezer, first check the air vents to be sure they are not blocked before adjusting the controls.

NOTE: Except when starting the refrigerator, do not adjust the control more than one setting at a time. Wait 24 hours between adjustments for the temperature to stabilize.

If you need to adjust the temperature in either the refrigerator or freezer compartment, use the settings listed in the chart below as a guide.
