IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Child Safety

Destroy or recycle the carton, plastic bags, and any exterior wrapping material immediately after the refrigerator is unpacked. Children should NEVER use these items to play. Cartons covered with rugs,

bedspreads, plastic sheets or stretch wrap may become airtight chambers, and can quickly cause suffocation.

Proper Disposal of your Refrigerator or Freezer

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 www.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 and before replacing a light bulb 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

Pressing and holding the On/Off button for three seconds, located on the left side of the temperature control panel will disable your refrigerator???s cooling system, 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 electrical outlet.

Grounding type wall receptacle

Do not, under

any circumstances, cut, remove,

or bypass the grounding prong.

INSTALLATION

Required Tools

You will need the following tools:

This Use & Care Guide provides general installation and operating instructions for your model. We recommend using a service or kitchen contracting professional to install your refrigerator. Use the refrigerator only as instructed in this Use & Care Guide. Before starting the refrigerator, follow these important first steps.

Installation

???Allow the following clearances for ease of installation, proper air circulation, and plumbing and electrical connections:

Location

???Choose a place that is near a grounded, non-GFCI, electrical outlet. Do Not use an extension cord or an adapter plug.

???If possible, place the refrigerator out of direct sunlight and away from the range, dishwasher, or other heat sources.

???The refrigerator must be installed on a floor that is level and strong enough to support a fully loaded refrigerator.

???Consider water supply availability for models equipped with an automatic ice maker.

CAUTION

Do Not install the refrigerator where the temperature will drop below 55??F (13??C) or rise above 110??F (43??C). The compressor will not be able to maintain proper temperatures inside the refrigerator.

Do Not block the toe grille on the lower front of your refrigerator. Sufficient air circulation is essential for the proper operation of your refrigerator.

???NOTE

If your refrigerator is placed with the door hinge side against a wall, you may have to allow additional space so the door can be opened wider.

AUTOMATIC ICE MAKER (select models)

Ice maker operation & care

After the refrigerator is installed properly, the ice maker can produce ice within 24 hours. It can completely fill an ice bin in about three days.

When using the ice maker for the first time and in order for the ice maker to work properly, it is necessary to clear air from water filter tubing. Once ice maker begins making ice, allow the bucket to fill completely, then discard the first TWO FULL buckets of ice. It will take at least two days to completely fill the bucket on regular ice making mode or 1?? days on fast ice mode.

The ice maker produces approximately four pounds of ice every 24 hours depending on usage conditions.

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, lift the ice maker???s wire signal arm to turn it off. Otherwise, the ice maker???s

fill valve may make a loud chattering noise when it attempts to operate without water.

Turning the ice maker on and off

STORING FOOD AND SAVING ENERGY

Ideas for storing foods

Fresh food storage

???Keep the fresh food 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.

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. Any meat to be kept longer than two days should be frozen.

Frozen food storage

???Keep the freezer compartment at 0?? F or lower.

???A freezer operates most efficiently when it is at least

??? 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

???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 the ???Controls??? section 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.

???Prior to grocery shopping, activate ???quick freeze??? so that on your return you can ensure your newly purchased food designated for the freezer will be preserved as quickly as possible.

???Activating ???quick freeze??? also will help your freezer more efficiently maintain the selected temperature after placing new purchases with pre-existing frozen foods.

NORMAL OPERATING SOUNDS AND SIGHTS

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:

AEvaporator Refrigerant through the evaporator may create a boiling or gurgling sound.

BEvaporator fan You may hear air being forced through the refrigerator by the evaporator fan.

CDefrost heater During defrost cycles, water dripping onto the defrost heater may cause a hissing or sizzling sound. After defrosting, a popping sound may occur.

DAutomatic ice maker When ice has been produced, you will hear ice cubes falling into the ice bin. Ice maker fan, water valve activation, and refrigerant gas fluid may create sounds from

its operation.

EElectronic control & automatic defrost control These parts can produce a snapping or clicking sound when turning the cooling system on and off.

CHANGING THE FILTER

Locating the Filters

Your refrigerator is equipped with water filtering system. The water filter system filters all dispensed drinking water, as well as the water used to produce ice.

Water Filter

The water filter is located at the top right side of the fresh food compartment.

Replacing the Water Filter

In general, you should change the water filter every six months to ensure the highest possible water quality. The Water Filter Status light on the user interface prompts you to replace the filter after a standard amount of water

(200 gallons/757 liters for PureSource UltraTM) has flowed through the system. The water filter status light on this model is not performance tested or certified

by NSF.

If your refrigerator has not been used for a period of time

(during moving for example), change the filter before reinstalling the refrigerator.

CARE & CLEANING

Protecting your investment

Keeping your refrigerator clean maintains its appearance and prevents odor build-up. Wipe up any spills immediately and clean the freezer and fresh food compartments at least twice a year.

???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.

???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.

???Do not wash any removable parts in a dishwasher.

???Always unplug the electrical power cord from the wall outlet before cleaning.

???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.

???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.

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.

???Damp objects stick to cold metal surfaces. Do not touch refrigerated surfaces with wet or damp hands.

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.
