immediately

all electric service cords that have become frayed or otherwise damaged.

Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either the plug or connector

end.

° When moving your refrigerator away from the wall, be careful not to roll over or damage it in any way.

° Do not crush or damage the water line.

° Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors or liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

° Do not allow children to climb, stand or hang on the refrigerator doors or shelves in the refrigerator.

They could damage the refrigerator and seriously injure themselves.

° Keep fingers out of 'pinch point' areas; clearances between the doors and cabinet are necessarily small.

Be careful when you open the doors when children are in the area.

° Unplug your refrigerator before cleaning or making any repairs.

NOTE: We strongly recommend that any servicing be performed by a qualified individual.

° Before replacing a burned-out light bulb, unplug the refrigerator or turn off: power at the circuit breaker or fuse box in order to avoid contact with a live filament.

(A burnedout light bulb may break when being replaced).

NOTE:

Setting either or both controls to the OFF position does not remove power to the light circuit.

° Do not store bottles in the freezer compartment, they may break when frozen, causing damage.

° The refrigerator-freezer should be positioned so that the supply plug is accessible for quick disconnection if an accident happens.

* For personal

safety,

this appliance must be properly grounded.

CONNECTING

THE WATER LINE

NOTE: Water line installation is needed when the Automatic

Icemaker and/or Water Dispenser features are available on your product.

° A cold water supply. The water pressure must be between

20 and 120 PSI (1.4 bar and 8.2 bar) on models without a water filter and between 40 and 120 PSI (2.8 bar and 8.4

bar) on models with a water filter.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

This water line installation is not warranted by the refrigerator or icemaker manufacturer or selien 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.

Caiia 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.

If you use your refrigerator before connecting the water line, make sure the icemaker power switch is in the O (off) position.

Do not install the icemaker tubing in areas where temperatures fail 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.

Aii installations must be in accordance with local plumbing code requirements.

NOTE: Wear eye protection.

• 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.

* Shutoff valve to connect to the cold water llne. The shutoff valve should have a water inlet with a minimum

inside diameter of _32" (3.96

mm) at the point of connection to the COLD

WATER LINE. Saddle=type shutoff valves are included in many water

supply

kits. Before purchasing, maize sure a saddle=type valve complies with your local plumbing codes.

INSTALLATION

iNSTRUCTIONS

Install the shutoff valve on the nearest frequently water line.

1. SHUTOFF THE MAIN

WATER SUPPLY used drinking

Turn on the nearest faucet to relieve the pressure on the line.

If the water pressure from the reverse osmosis system is less than 21 PSI (1.5 kg°f/cm 2, more than 4 sec. to fill a cup of 7 oz. capacity):

° 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 the issue about water pressure from reverse osmosis remains, call a licensed, qualified plumber.

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, maize the connection to the top or side, rather than at the bottom, to avoid drawing off any sediment from the water pipe.

m

WHAT YOU WILL NEED

* Copper Tubing, 1/4" (6.35 mm) outer diameter to connect the refrigerator to the water supply.

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. Then add 8 feet (2.4 m). Be sure there is sufficient extra tubing (about 8 feet [2.4 m] coiled into 3 turns of about 10" [25 cm] diameter) to allow the refrigerator to move out from the waft after installation.

3.DRILL THE HOLE FOR THE VALVE

Drill a 1/4" (6.35 mm) hole in the water pipe 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" (6.35 mm) hole may result

in reduced ice production or smaller cubes.

NOTE: Licensed plumbers must use only cooper NDA tubing

#49595 or 49499 or Cross Link Polyethylene (PEX) tubing.

Be sure that the kit you select allows at least 8 feet (2.4 m) as described above.

ENSURING PROPER AIR CIRCULATION

In order to ensure proper temperatures, air must flow between the refrigerator and freezer sections.

As shown in the

illustration below, cool air enters through the refrigerator

of

the freezer section and moves up. Most of the air then flows through the freezer section vents and recircuiates under the freezer floor.

The rest of the air enters the refrigerator section through the top vent.

CONTROL PANEL FEATURES

(Identify your Control type)

Type ]

Type 2

* Do not block any of these vents with food packages.

If the vents are blocked, airflow will be interrupted and

temperature

and moisture problems may occur.

IMPORTANT:

Because air circulates between both sections, any odors formed

in

one section will transfer to the other. You must thoroughly clean both sections to eliminate odors.

To prevent odor transfer and dried out food, wrap or cover foods tightly.

(See the

Food Storage Guide

section for details.)

NOTE: If you close the refrigerator close again door, you may see the freezer due to pressure from internal door open and air flow.

PRIOR TO USE

1. Clean your refrigerator thoroughly and wipe off: dust accumulated during shipping.

2. Install accessories such as ice cube bin, drawers, shelves,

etc., in their proper places.

They are packed together to prevent possible damage during shipment.

3. Let your refrigerator run for at least 2 or 3 hours before puffing food in it. Check the flow of cold air in the freezer compartment to ensure proper cooling.

Your refrigerator is now ready for use.

REFRIGERATOR AND FREEZER CONTROLS

It's recommended to maintain the initial temperatures setting

(middle) by pressing Fridge Temp graphic and Freezer Temp graphic.

NOTE: When changing control settings, waif 24 hours before making additional adjustments.

After 24 hours, adjust the compartments temperatures as desired.

ADJUSTING CONTROL SETTINGS

Give the refrigerator time to cool down completely before making final adjustments.

It is best to wait 24 hours before doing this. The initial settings mentioned in CONTROL PANEL

FEATURES section

should

be correct for normal household refrigerator use.

The refrigerator control functions as the thermostat for the

entire appliance (refrigerator and freezer

sections).

The colder the setting, the longer the compressor will run to keep the temperature colder.

The freezer control adjusts the cold air flow from the freezer to the refrigerator.

Setting the freezer control to a lower temperature keeps more cold air in the freezer compartment to make it colder.

If you need to adjust temperatures in the refrigerator or freezer, start by adjusting the refrigerator.

Then wait 24 hours before checking the freezer temperature.

If it is too warm or too cold, then adjust the freezer control.

Use the settings listed in the chart below as a guide.

Always remember

to wait at least 24 hours between adjustments.

How to Store

_ Keep opened butter in a covered dish or closed compartment.

When storing an extra supply, wrap

in

freezer packaging and freeze.

_ Store in the original wrapping until you are ready to use it. Once opened, rewrap tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil.

_ Wipe mill< cartons.

For best storage, place milk on interior shelf, not on door rack.

_ Store in original carton on interior shelf, not on door rack.

_ Wash, let dry, and store in refrigerator in plastic bags or in the crisper.

Do not wash or hull berries until you are ready to use them. Sort and keep berries in their original container in a crisper, or store in a closed and sealed paper bag on a refrigerator

shelf.

Remove store wrapping and trim and tear of? bruised and discolored areas. Wash in cold water and drain.

Place in plastic bag or plastic container and store them in crisper.

Place in plastic bags or plastic container and store in crisper.

Packaging

Successful

freezing depends on correct packaging.

When you close and seal the package, it must not allow air or moisture in or out. If it does, you could have food odor and taste transfer throughout the refrigerator and also dry out frozen food.

Packaging

recommendations

° Rigid plastic containers with "tight=fitting

lids"

* Straight-sided

° Heavy-duty aluminum foil

° Plastic-coated paper

° Non-permeable plastic wraps

° Specified freezer-grade self-sealing plastic bags

Follow package or container instructions for proper freezing methods.

Do not use: canning/freezing jars

° Bread wrappers

° Containers without tight lids

° Wax paper or wax-coated freezer wrap

° Thin, semi-permeable wrap

CAUTION: Do not keep beverage cans or plastic food containers in the freezer compartment.

They may break if they freeze.

Freezing

Your freezer wiii not quick-freeze any large quantity of food.

Do not put more unfrozen food into the freezer than wi!l

freeze within 24 hours [no more than 2 to 3 lb. of food per cubic foot (0.9 to 1.36 kg per cubic meter) of freezer space].

Leave enough space in the freezer for air to circulate around packages.

Be careful to leave enough room at the front so the door can close tightly.

Leftovers

_ Use fresh fish and shellfish the same day purchased.

_ Cover leftovers with plastic wrap or aJuminium foil.

Plastic containers with tight lids can also be used.

Food storage times will vary according to the quality and type of food, the type of packaging or wrap used (airtight and moisture-proof) and the storage temperature.

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.

NOTE: Allow hot foods to cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, then package and freeze.

Cooling hot foods before freezing

saves energy.

UNDERSTANDING SOUNDS YOU MAY HEAR

Your new refrigerator may make sounds that your old one did not make. Because the sounds are new to you, you might be concerned about them. Most of the new sounds are normal.

Hard surfaces, like the floor, walls and cabinets, can make the sounds seem louder than they actually are. The following list describes the kinds of sounds and what may be making them.

" The defrost timer will click when the automatic defrost cycle begins and ends. The thermostat control (or refrigerator control, depending on the model) will also click when cycling on and off:.
