• 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 39°F (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.

WARNING

: The use of this appliance can expose you to chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. For more information go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov


DANGER: RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT

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 & GROUNDING REQUIREMENTS

IMPORTANT : Please read carefully.

TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, this appliance must be properly grounded. Have the wall outlet and the circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded.

USE OF EXTENSION CORDS

Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, the use of an extension cord is not recommended. However, if you still elect to use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL- listed (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.

3-prong grounding type wall receptacle

3-prong grounding plug

Ensure proper ground exists 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 pull 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.

How to use the Automatic Icemaker

The dispenser icemaker will produce 12 cubes per cycle.

• The dispenser icemaker will produce approximately

216 - 288 cubes (20 - 24 cycles a day) in a

24 hour period, depending on freezer compartment temperature, room temperature, number of door opening and other user conditions.

• It is normal for the icemaker to make banging sounds when the ice cubes are falling into the ice storage bin

• To prevent bad odor smell, regularly clean the ice cube storage bin.

• If the amount of ice in the storage bin is not sufficient, the ice may not be dispensed.

Wait a day or so to make more ice.

• If the ice does not dispense easily, ensure the dispenser outlet is not blocked.

• Throw away the first few batches of ice to allow the water line to clear.

Be sure nothing interferes with the level of the optical sensor space at the dispenser icemaker base.

Optical Sensor Space

Dispenser Icemaker

Icemaking will stop when the dispenser ice bin fills to the level of the optical sensor, or when the freezer ice bin fills and pushes the shutoff arm all the way up.

Clear the bin of excessive ice. If you remove bin for clearing, return bin correctly into place. Icemaking will resume after the ice bin is cleared to below the optical sensor in the dispenser icemaker, or cleared to allow the shutoff arm to lower in the freezer icemaker.

Items

Butter or margarine

Cheese

Milk

Eggs

Fruit

Leafy vegetables

Vegetables with skins

(carrots, peppers)

Fish

How to

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

 Store in original carton on interior shelf, not on door shelf.

 Do not wash or hull the fruit until it is ready to be used. Sort and keep fruit in its original container, in a crisper, or store in a completely closed paper bag on a refrigerator shelf.

 Remove store wrapping and trim or tear off bruised and discolored areas. Wash in cold water and drain. Place in plastic bag or plastic container and store in crisper.

Leftovers

 Store fresh fish and shellfish in the freezer section if they are not being consumed the same day of purchase. It is recommended to consume fresh fish and shellfish the same day purchased.

 Cover leftovers with plastic wrap or aluminum foil, or store in plastic containers with tight lids.


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 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 could also dry out frozen food.

Packaging recommendations:

• Rigid plastic containers with tight-fitting lids

• Straight-sided canning/freezing jars

• 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

• 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.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

COOLING

Problem

Refrigerator and

Freezer section are not cooling.

Cooling System runs too much.

Possible Causes Solutions

Power cord unplugged.

Refrigerator is set to demo mode.

Refrigerator is in the defrost cycle.

Refrigerator was recently installed.

Plug into a known properly grounded 3-prong outlet.

Demo Mode allows the lights and control display to work normally while disabling cooling to save energy while on the showroom floor. Refer to the Setting the Controls section for instructions on how to disable Demo Mode.

During the defrost cycle, the temperature of each compartment may raise slightly. Wait 30 minutes and confirm the proper temperature has been restored once the defrost cycle has completed.

It may take up to 24 hours for each compartment to reach the desired temperature.

Refrigerator was recently relocated.

If the refrigerator was stored for a long period of time or moved on its side, it is necessary for the refrigerator to stand upright for 24 hours before connecting it to power.

Refrigerator is replacing an older model.

Refrigerator was recently plugged in or power restored.

Door opened often or a large amount of food / hot food was added.

Modern refrigerators require more operating time but use less energy due to more efficient technology.

The refrigerator will take up to 24 hours to cool completely.

Doors are not closed completely.

Adding food and opening the door warms the refrigerator, requiring the compressor to run longer in order to cool the refrigerator back down. In order to conserve energy, try to get everything you need out of the refrigerator at once, keep food organized so it is easy to find, and close the door as soon as the food is removed. (Refer to the Food Storage Guide.)

Firmly push the doors shut. If they will not shut all the way, see the Doors will not close completely or pop open section in Parts & Features Troubleshooting.

Refrigerator is installed in a hot location.

The compressor will run longer under warm conditions.

At normal room temperatures (70°F) expect your compressor to run about 40% to 80% of the time.

Under warmer conditions, expect it to run even more often. The refrigerator should not be operated above

110°F.

Condenser / back cover is clogged.

Use a vacuum cleaner with an attachment to clean the condenser cover and vents. Do not remove the panel covering the condenser coil area.

Problem

Refrigerator or

Freezer section is too warm.

Interior moisture buildup.


COOLING

Possible Causes


Doors are opened often or for long periods of time.

Solutions

It may take up to 24 hours for each compartment to reach the desired temperature.

When the doors are opened often or for long periods of time, warm, humid air enters the compartment. This raises the temperature and moisture level within the compartment. To lessen the effect, reduce the frequency and duration of door openings.

Unit is installed in a hot location.

A large amount of food or hot food was added to either compartment.

Doors not closed correctly.

Temperature control is not set correctly.

If the temperature is too warm, adjust the control one increment at a time and wait for the temperature to stabilize. Refer to the Setting the Controls section for more information.

Defrost cycle has recently completed. During the defrost cycle, the temperature of each compartment may raise slightly and condensation may form on the back wall. Wait 30 minutes and confirm the proper temperature has been restored once the defrost cycle has completed.


When the doors are opened often or for long periods of time, warm, humid air enters the compartment.

This raises the temperature and moisture level within the compartment. To lessen the effect, reduce the frequency and duration of door openings.

Doors not closed correctly.

The refrigerator should not be operated in temperatures above 110F.

Adding food warms the compartment requiring the cooling system to run. Allowing hot food to cool to room temperature before putting it in the refrigerator will reduce this effect.

See the Doors will not close correctly or pop open section in Parts & Features Troubleshooting

Weather is humid.

See the Doors will not close correctly section in the

Troubleshooting section.

Humid weather allows additional moisture to enter the compartments when the doors are opened leading to condensation or frost. Maintaining a reasonable level of humidity in the home will help to control the amount of moisture that can enter the compartments.

Defrost cycle recently completed.

Food is not packaged correctly.

During the defrost cycle, the temperature of each compartment may raise slightly and condensation may form on the back wall. Wait 30 minutes and confirm that the proper temperature has been restored once the defrost cycle has completed.

Food stored uncovered or unwrapped, and damp containers can lead to moisture accumulation within each compartment. Wipe all containers dry and store food in sealed packaging to prevent condensation and frost.

COOLING/ICE & WATER

Problem

Food is freezing in the refrigerator compartment.

Frost or ice crystals form on frozen food

(outside of package).

Refrigerator or

Freezer section is too cold.

Frost or ice crystals on frozen food

(inside of sealed package).

Icemaker is not making enough ice.


Food with high water content was placed near an air vent.

Refrigerator temperature control is set incorrectly.

Refrigerator is installed in a cold location.

Door is opened frequently or for long periods of time.

Rearrange items with high water content away from air vents.

If the temperature is too cold, adjust the control one increment at a time and wait for the temperature to stabilize. Refer to the Setting the Controls section for more information.

When the refrigerator is operated in temperature below 41°F (5°C), food can freeze in the refrigerator compartment. The refrigerator should not be operated in temperature below 55°F (13°C).

When the doors are opened often or for long periods of time, warm, humid air enters the compartment. This raises the temperature and moisture level within the compartment. Increased moisture will lead to frost and condensation. To lessen the effect, reduce the frequency and duration of door openings.

Door is not closing properly.

Condensation from food with a high water content has frozen inside of the food package.

Refer to the Doors will not close correctly or pop open section in the Troubleshooting section.

Incorrect temperature control settings. If the temperature is too cold, adjust the control one increment at a time and wait for the temperature to stabilize. Refer to the Setting the Controls sect;ion for more information.

This is normal for food items with a high water content.

Food has been left in the freezer for a long period of time.

Demand exceeds ice storage capacity.

House water supply is not connected, valve is not turned on fully, or valve is clogged.

Water filter has been exhausted.

Low house water supply pressure.

Reverse Osmosis filtration system is used.

Do not store food items with high water content in the freezer for a long period of time.

The dispenser icemaker will produce approximately

216-288 cubes in a 24 hour period.

Connect the refrigerator to a cold water supply with adequate pressure and turn the water shutoff valve fully open.

If the problem persists, it may be necessary to contact a plumber.

It is recommended that you replace the water filter:

Approximately every six months.

• When the water filter indicator turns on.

• When the water dispenser output decreases.

• When the ice cubes are smaller than normal.

NOTE: The water pressure must be from 30 to 125 psi or 207-862 kPa or 2.1-8.8 kgf/cm ² . If the refrigerator is installed in an area with low water pressure below


If the problem persists, it may be necessary to contact a plumber or install a booster pump to compensate for the low pressure.

Reverse osmosis filtration systems can reduce the water pressure below the minimum amount and result in icemaker issues. (Refer to Water Pressure section.)

Problem

Icemaker is not making enough ice

(continued).

Dispensing water slowly.

Not dispensing ice.



Possible Causes

Tubing connecting refrigerator to house supply valve is kinked.



The temperature setting for the freezer is too warm.


Low house water supply pressure.


Infrequent use of the dispenser.

The delivery chute is clogged with frost or ice fragments.

The dispenser display is locked.

Ice bin is empty.

ICE & WATER

Solutions

The tubing can kink when the refrigerator is moved during installation or cleaning resulting in reduced water flow. Straighten or repair the water supply line and arrange it to prevent future kinks.

If the doors of the unit are opened often, ambient air will warm the refrigerator which will prevent the unit from maintaining the set temperature. Lowering the refrigerator temperature can help, as well as not opening the doors as frequently.

If the doors are not properly closed, ice production will be affected. See the Doors will not close completely or pop open section in Parts & Features

Troubleshooting for more information.

The recommended temperature for the freezer compartment for normal ice production is 0°F. If the freezer temperature is warmer, ice production will be affected.


Approximately every six months.




NOTE: The water pressure must be from 30 to 125 psi or 207-862 kPa or 2.1-8.8 kgf/cm ² . If the refrigerator is installed in an area with low water pressure below


If the problem persists, it may be necessary to contact a plumber or install a booster pump to compensate for the low pressure.

Ice will not dispense if any of the refrigerator doors are left open.

Infrequent use of the ice dispenser will cause the cubes to stick together over time, which will prevent them from properly dispensing. Check the ice bin for ice cubes clumping/sticking together. If they are, break up the ice cubes to allow for proper operation.

Eliminate the frost or ice fragments by removing the ice bin and clearing the chute with a plastic utensil.

Dispensing cubed ice can also help prevent frost or ice fragment buildup.

Press and hold the Lock button for three seconds to unlock the control panel and dispenser.

It may take up to 24 hours for each compartment to reach the desired temperature and for the icemaker to begin making ice. Make sure that the shutoff (arm/ sensor) is not obstructed.
