To reduce the risk of fire, electrlc shock, or personal

injury when using your product, basic safety

precautions

should be foffowed, includlncj the foffowincj.

Read aft instructions before using this appffance.

*

NEVER unptug your refrigerator by putting on the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and putt it

straight

out from the outlet.

Immediately repair or replace att power 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.

DO NOT allow children to climb, stand, or hang on the refrigerator doors or shetves in the refrigerator.

They could damage the refrigerator and seriously injure themselves.

*

Keep fingers out of pinch point areas; clearances between the doors and cabinets are necessarily

small.

Be careful closing doors when children are in the area.

*

Unplug your refrigerator before cleaning or making any repairs.

NOTE: It is strongly recommended that any service be performed by a qualified technician.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

5

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

(A burned-out light bulb may break when being replaced exposing the wire filament.)

NOTE: Some models have LED interior lighting and service should be performed by a qualified technician.

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

When you are finished, reconnect the refrigerator to the electrical source and reset the controls (Thermostat,

Refrigerator Control, and or Freezer Control, depending on the model) to the desired setting.

This refrigerator must be properly installed in accordance with the Attention Installer Instructions that were taped to the front of the refrigerator.

After your refrigerator is in operation, do not touch the cold surfaces in the freezer compartment when hands are damp or wet. Skin may adhere to the extremely cold

surfaces.

.

DO NOT touch the automatic ice making mechanism while the refrigerator is plugged in.

DO NOT refreeze frozen foods which have thawed completely.

The United States Department of

Agriculture in Home and Garden Bulletin No. 69 says:

...You may safely refreeze frozen foods that have thawed if they still contain ice crystals or if they are

still cold--below 4°C.

...Thawed

ground meats, poultry or fish that have any off-odor or off-color should not be refrozen and should not be eaten. Thawed ice cream should be discarded.

if the odor or color of any food is poor or questionable, dispose of it. The food may be dangerous to eat.

Even partial thawing and refreezing reduces the eating quality of foods, particularly fruits, vegetables and prepared foods. The eating quality of red meats is affected less than that of many other foods. Use refrozen foods as soon as possible to save as much of their quality as you can.

SAVE THESE iNSTRUCTiONS

Junked or abandoned refrigerators are dangerous, even if they are sitting for only a few days. if you are getting rid of your old refrigerator, please follow the instructions at right to help prevent accidents (child entrapment and suffocation).

BEFORE YOU THROW AWAY

YOUR OLD REFRIGERATOR

OR FREEZER:

*

Take off: the doors.

"

Leave the shelves in place so that

children may not easily climb inside.

6

Your old refrigerator may have a coating system that used

CFCs (chtorofluorocarbons).

CFCs are believed to harm

stratospheric

ozone.

if you are throwing away your old refrigerator, make sure the CFC refrigerant is removed for proper disposal by a qualified technician.

If you intentionally release this CFC refrigerant, you may be subject to fines and imprisonment under provisions of environmental legislation.

IMPORTANT: Please read carefully.

TO CONNECT

ELECTRICITY

Electrical Shock Hazard

FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, this appliance must be properly grounded.

Have the wan outlet and the circuit

checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded.

3-prong grounding type I wall receptacle __

before use.

RECOMMENDED GROUNDING METHOD

The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own individual properly grounded electrical outlet rated for

115 Volts, 60 Hz, AC only, and fused at 15 or 20 amperes.

This provides the best performance and also prevents overloading house wiring circuits which could cause a fire hazard from overheated wires. It is recommended that a

separate

circuit serving only this appliance be provided.

Use a receptacle that cannot be turned off: with a switch or putt chain. Do not use an extension cord.

Where a standard two-prong wall outlet is encountered, it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded three-prong wall outlet.

USE OF EXTENSION

CORDS

Because of potential safety

hazards under certain

conditions, the use of an extension cord is nat

recommended.

However, if you stiN elect to use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a ULlisted (USA), 3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord having a grounding type plug and outlet, and that the electrical rating of the cord be 15 amperes (minimum) and 120 volts.

Use of an extension cord will increase the clearance needed for the back of the refrigerator.

LEVELING AND DOOR ALIGNMENT

Leveling

After installing, plug the refrigerator's power cord into a

3-prong grounded outlet and push the refrigerator into the final position.

Your refrigerator has two front leveling legs--one on the right and one on the left. Adjust the legs to alter the tilt from front-to-back or side-to-side. If your refrigerator

seems unsteady, or you want the doors to close more easily, adjust the refrigerator's tilt using the instructions below=

NOTE: Tools Required= 11/16" (18mm) wrench or fiat blade

screwdriver.

1. Remove the base grille (refer to page 10).

2. Turn the leveling leg counterclockwise to raise that side of the refrigerator or clockwise to lower it. It may take

several turns of the leveling leg to adjust the tilt of the refrigerator.

3. Open both doors again and check to make sure that they close easily. If the doors do not close easily, tilt the refrigerator

slightly

more to the rear by turning both leveling legs counterclockwise.

It may take

several more turns, and you should turn both leveling legs the same amount.

4. Replace the base grille.

NOTE: Your refrigerator is uniquely designed with two fresh food doors. Either door can be opened or closed independently of the other. You may have to exert slight pressure on the doors to get them to close completely.

Door Allgnment

Both the left and right refrigerator doors have an adjustable nut, located on the bottom hinge, to raise and lower them to align properly.

If the space between your doors is uneven, follow the instructions below to align the doors evenly=

Use the wrench (included with the Use & Care Guide) to turn the nut in the door hinge to adjust the height.

Clockwise to raise or counterclockwise to lower the height.

NOTE: Having someone push backward against the top of the refrigerator takes some weight off: of the leveling legs.

This makes it easier to adjust the legs.

SETTING

THE CONTROLS

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.

AIRFLOW

Cold air circulates from the freezer to the fresh food

section and back again through air vents in the wall dividing the two sections. Be sure not to block vents while packing your refrigerator.

Doing so will restrict airflow and may cause the refrigerator temperature to become too warm or cause interior moisture buildup.

(See air flow diagram below.)

Dispenser

When you press the Water button, the Water icon will illuminate.

When you press the Ice Select button, either the cube or crushed ice icon will illuminate.

Some dripping may occur after dispensing.

Hold your cup beneath the dispenser for a few

seconds after dispensing to catch all of the drops.

CAUTION:

The control display is operated by touch. Excessive moisture on the display may cause a malfunction.

Please keep the display clean and dry.

_, WARNING: The dispenser will not work if any door is left open or if the control lock is engaged.

IN-DOOR iCE BiN

,A. CAUTION

Keep hands and tools out of the ice compartment door and dispenser chute. Failure to do so may result in damage or personal injury.

The icemaker will stop producing ice when the in-door ice bin is full. if you need more ice, empty the ice bin into the extra ice bin in the freezer compartment.

During use, the ice can become uneven causing the icemaker to misread the amount of ice cubes and stop producing ice. Shaking the ice bin to level the ice within it can reduce this problem.

NOTE: Storing cans or other items in the ice bin will damage the icemaker.

Keep the ice compartment door closed tightly, if the ice compartment door is not closed tightly, the cold air in the ice bin will freeze food in the refrigerator compartment.

This could also cause the icemaker to stop producing ice.

NOTE: if the ON/OFF switch on the icemaker is set to

OFF for an extended period of time, the ice compartment will gradually warm up to the temperature of the refrigerator compartment.

To prevent ice cubes from melting and leaking from the dispenser, ALWAYS empty the ice bin when the icemaker is set to OFF for more than a few hours.

2. To remove the in-door ice bin, grip the front handle,

slightly

lift the lower part, and slowly pull out the bin as shown.

AUTOMATIC ICEMAKER

Ice is made in the automatic icemaker and sent to the dispenser. The icemaker will produce 10 cubes per cycle-approximately 100 cubes in a 24-hour period, depending on freezer compartment temperature, room temperature, number of door openings and other operating conditions.

It takes about 12 to 24 hours for a newly installed refrigerator to begin making ice. Wait 72 hours for full ice production to occur.

*

Ice making stops when the in-door ice bin is full. When full, the in-door ice bin holds approximately 6 to 8 (12-

16 oz) glasses of ice.

*

To turn off the automatic icemaker, set the icemaker

switch to OFF (O). To turn on the automatic icemaker,

set the switch to ON (I).

The water pressure must be between 20 and

120 psi on models without a water filter and between

40 and 120 psi on models with a water filter to produce the normal amount and size of ice cubes.

Foreign substances or frost on the ice-detecting sensor can interrupt ice production.

Make sure the sensor area is clean at all times for proper operation.

Personal Injury

STORING

FROZEN FOOD

NOTE: Check a freezer guide or a reliable cookbook for further information about preparing food for freezing or food storage times.

Freezing

Your freezer will not quick-freeze a large quantity of food.

Do not put more unfrozen food into the freezer than will freeze within 24 hours (no more than 2 to 3 lbs. of food per cubic foot 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.

Storage times will vary according to the quality and type of food, the type of packaging or wrap used

(how 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.

Packaging

Successful freezing depends on correct packaging.

When you close and seat 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 could also dry out frozen food.

Packaging recommendations:

*

Rigid plastic containers with tight-fitting lids

*

Straight-sided canning/freezing

*

Heavy-duty aluminum foil

jars

*

Plastic-coated paper

*

Non-permeable plastic wraps

*

Specified freezer-grade

self-sealing

plastic bags

Follow package or container instructions for proper freezing methods.

Do nat use

•

Bread wrappers

•

Non-polyethylene plastic containers

•

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 or burst if they freeze.

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 to 60 psi (2.8

kgf/cm 2 _ 4.2 kgf/cm 2, less than 2.0-3°0 sec. to fill a cup of 7 oz capacity).

if the water pressure from the reverse osmosis system is less than 21 psi or 1.5 kgf/cm2 (takes more than 4.0 sec to fill a cup of 7 oz capacity):

•

Check to see if 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 concerning water pressure from reverse osmosis remains, call a licensed, qualified plumber.

• All installations must be in accordance with local plumbing code requirements.

CAUTION: Wear eye protection during installation to prevent injury.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED o o o

*

Copper Tubing, 1/4 in. 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 in.

[25 cm] diameter) to allow the refrigerator to move out from the wall after installation.

* Power drill.

1½in. or adjustable

wrench.

Fiat blade and Phillips head screwdrivers.

Two ¼ in. outer diameter

compression nuts and

2 ferrules (sleeves) to connect the copper tubing to the shutoff valve and the refrigerator water valve.

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 5/321n. at the point of connection to the COLD WATER LINE.

Saddle-type shutoff valves _F _-_ are included in many water _..

1. SHUT OFF THE MAIN

WATER SUPPLY

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

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

m

3. DRILL THE HOLE FOR THE VALVE

Drill a I/4 in. hole in the water pipe using a sharp bit.

Remove any burrs resulting from drilling the hole in the pipe. Be careful not to allow water to drain into the drill.

Failure to drill a 1/4 in. hole may result in reduced ice production or

smaller cubes.

NOTE: The hookup line cannot be white, plastic tubing.

Licensed plumbers must use only copper tubing NDA tubing

UNDERSTANDING SOUNDS YOU MAY HEAR

Your new refrigerator may make sounds that your otd one did not make. Most of the new sounds are normal.

Hard

surfaces, tike the floor, wails and cabinets, can make the

sounds seem louder than they actually are. The following describes the kinds of sounds you may hear and what may be causing them.

Cllcking:

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

Rattllng:

Rattling noises may come from the flow of refrigerant, the water line, or items stored on top of the refrigerator.

Whooshing:

*

Evaporator fan motor circulating the air through the refrigerator and freezer compartments.

* Air being forced over the condenser by the condenser fan.

* Ice compartment fan in the freezer on the left side of the refrigerator when the doors are open.

Gurgllng:

As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling

sound

caused by the refrigerant flowing through the cooling

system.

Popping:

Contraction and expansion of the inside walls.

Sizzllng:

Water dripping on the defrost heater during a defrost cycle.

Vibrating

Noise:

If the side or back of the refrigerator is touching a cabinet or wall, some of the normal vibrations may make an audible sound. To eliminate the noise, make sure that the sides and back cannot vibrate against any walt or cabinet.

Dripping:

Water running into the drain pan during the defrost cycle.

Pulsating or High-Pitched

Saund:

Your refrigerator is designed to run more emcientty to keep your food items at the desired temperature.

The high emciency compressor may cause your new refrigerator to run longer than your old one, but is still more energy emcient than previous models. While the refrigerator is running, it is normal to hear a pulsating or high-pitched

sound.

Refrigerator is not cooling,

The power supply cord is unplugged.

A household fuse has blown or a circuit breaker has tripped,

The refrigerator control is set to the OFF position.

The refrigerator is in the defrost cycle.

The refrigerator is in Demo Mode.

Firmly plug the cord into a live outlet with proper voltage (see Electrical & Grounding

Requirements).

Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker.

If the problem persists, contact an electrician.

Refer to the Setting the Controls

section.

Wait about 30 minutes for defrost cycle to end.

The Demo Mode allows the lights and control display to work normalty while disabling the cooling system to save energy while on the showroom floor. To disable Demo Mode, open one door, then press and hold the Ultra ice and Refrigerator Temp. buttons for five

seconds. Once disabled, OFF will disappear and the previous temperature settings will be displayed (refer to Setting the Controls for recommended temperatures).
