IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
WARNING!
Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this Owner’s Manual.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:
■
This refrigerator must be properly installed and located in accordance with the Installation
Instructions before it is used.
■
Do not allow children to climb, stand or hang on the shelves in the refrigerator. They could damage the refrigerator and seriously injure themselves.
■
Do not touch the cold surfaces in the freezer compartment, particularly when hands are damp or wet. Skin may stick to these extremely cold surfaces.
■
In refrigerators with automatic icemakers, avoid contact with the moving parts of the ejector mechanism, or with the heating element that releases the cubes. Do not place fingers or hands on the automatic icemaking mechanism while the refrigerator is plugged in.
■
Keep fingers out of the “pinch point” areas; clearances between the doors and between the doors and cabinet are necessarily small.
Be careful closing doors when children are in the area.
■
Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning and making repairs.
NOTE: We strongly recommend that any servicing be performed by a qualified individual.
■
Turning the control to the OFF position does not remove power to the light circuit, dispenser or icemaker.
■
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
■
Do not refreeze frozen foods which have thawed completely.
DANGER! RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT
PROPER DISPOSAL OF THE REFRIGERATOR
Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators are still dangerous…even if they will sit for “just a few days.” If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator, please follow the instructions below to help prevent accidents.
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.
CFC Disposal
Your old refrigerator has a cooling system that used
CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons). 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 servicer. If you intentionally release this CFC refrigerant you can be subject to fines and imprisonment under provisions of environmental legislation.
USE OF EXTENSION CORDS
Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against the use of an extension cord.
However, if you must use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL-listed (in the United
States) or a CSA certified (in Canada), 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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
WARNING!
HOW TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded.
The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a
3-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a standard 3-prong (grounding) wall outlet to minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard from this appliance.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded.
If the outlet is a standard 2-prong wall outlet, it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded
3-prong wall outlet.
The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating that matches the rating plate.
This provides the best performance and also prevents overloading house wiring circuits which could cause a fire hazard from overheated wires.
Never unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the power cord. Always grip plug firmly and pull straight out from the outlet.
Repair or replace immediately all 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 end.
When moving the refrigerator away from the wall, be careful not to roll over or damage the power cord.
USE OF ADAPTER PLUGS
(Adapter plugs not permitted in Canada)
Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against the use of an adapter plug.
However, if you must use an adapter, where local codes permit, a temporary connection may be made to a properly grounded 2-prong wall outlet by use of a UL-listed adapter available at most local hardware stores.
The larger slot in the adapter must be aligned with the larger slot in the wall outlet to provide proper polarity in the connection of the power cord.
When disconnecting the power cord from the adapter, always hold the adapter in place with one hand while pulling the power cord plug with the other hand. If this is not done, the adapter ground terminal is very likely to break with repeated use.
If the adapter ground terminal breaks, DO NOT USE the refrigerator until a proper ground has been established.
Attaching the adapter ground terminal to a wall outlet cover screw does not ground the appliance unless the cover screw is metal, and not insulated, and the wall outlet is grounded through the house wiring. You should have the circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded.
Read and follow this Safety Information carefully.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
About the controls on the refrigerator.
Initially set the fresh food and freezer controls at 5.
For fresh food and freezer, 5 is normal, 9 is coldest.
Line up the setting with the dot.
If you want colder or warmer temperatures, adjust the fresh food temperature first. When satisfied with that setting, adjust the freezer temperature.

Refrigerator
Control Settings
Freezer Control
The freezer control maintains the temperature in the freezer compartment.
Fresh Food Control
The fresh food control maintains the temperature throughout the fresh food compartment.
Moving the fresh food control to OFF stops cooling in both areas—fresh food and freezer—but does not shut off power to the refrigerator.
How To Test Temperatures
Use the milk test for the fresh food compartment. Place a container of milk on the top shelf and check it a day later. If the milk is too warm or too cold, adjust the temperature controls.
Use the ice cream test for the freezer compartment. Place a container of ice cream in the center of the freezer and check it after a day. If it’s too hard or too soft, adjust the temperature controls.
After changing the controls, allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to reach the temperature you have set.
IMPORTANT!
When placing food packages in the freezer compartment make sure that they do not prevent the freezer door from fully closing. A partially open freezer door will cause abnormally high temperatures in the freezer compartment resulting in higher energy consumption.

About storage drawers and storage drawer removal.
Not all features are on all models.
Adjustable Temperature Meat Drawer
When the drawer is placed in the top 6 slots on the left side and the lever is set at
(coldest), air from the freezer is forced around the drawer to keep it very cold.
You can move the drawer to any location if you don’t want the extra cold storage.
When set at (cold), the drawer will stay at the normal refrigerator temperature.
The (coldest) setting provides the coldest storage area.
The settings can be adjusted anywhere
To Remove Storage Drawers
These drawers can be removed easily by lifting up slightly while pulling the drawers forward past the stop location.
When the fresh food door cannot be opened enough to pull the drawer straight out, remove the door on the left and slide the other drawer toward the middle and remove it.

(up) position
Automatic Icemaker
(on some models)
The icemaker will produce eight cubes per cycle—approximately 100 cubes in a 24-hour period, depending on freezer compartment temperature, room temperature, number of door openings and other use conditions.
If the refrigerator is operated before the water connection is made to the icemaker, keep the feeler arm in the STOP (up) position.
When the refrigerator has been connected to the water supply, move the feeler arm to the ON (down) position.
The icemaker will fill with water when the freezer is cold enough. A newly-installed refrigerator may take 8 to 12 hours to begin making ice cubes.
Throw away the first few batches of ice to allow the water line to clear of any debris.
Be sure nothing interferes with the swing of the feeler arm.
It is normal for several cubes to be joined together.
If ice is not used frequently, old ice cubes will become cloudy and taste stale.

About the ice and water dispenser.
On some models
Spill Shelf
Dispenser Pad
To Use the Dispenser
Select CUBES, CRUSHED ICE or WATER.
Press the rim of the glass gently against the dispenser pad.
If no water is dispensed when the refrigerator is first installed, there may be air in the water line system. Press the dispenser pad for at least two minutes to remove trapped air from the water line and to fill the system with water. To flush out impurities in the water line, throw away the first six glassfuls of water.
The spill shelf is not self-draining. To reduce water spotting, the shelf and its grille should be cleaned regularly.
A light switch turns the night light in the dispenser on or off. The light also comes on when the dispenser pad is pressed. The light in the dispenser should be replaced with a
7-watt maximum bulb when it burns out.
CAUTION: Never put fingers or any other objects into the ice crusher discharge opening.
Ice Storage Bin
To remove:
Lift the handle to free the bin from the shelf and pull the bin straight out while supporting it at front and rear.

Important Facts About Your Dispenser
■
Add ice before filling the glass with a beverage. This will prevent splashing.
■ Do not add ice from trays or bags to the storage bin. It may not crush or dispense well.
■ Avoid overfilling a glass with ice or using narrow or extra-tall glasses. Backed-up ice can jam the chute or cause the door in the chute to freeze shut. If ice is blocking the chute, poke it through with a wooden spoon.
■ Beverages and foods should not be quickchilled in the ice storage bin. Cans, bottles or food packages in the storage bin may cause the dispenser to jam.
■
Some crushed ice may be dispensed even though you selected CUBES. This happens occasionally when a few cubes accidentally get directed to the crusher.
■
After crushed ice is dispensed, some water may drip from the chute.
■ Sometimes a mound of snow will form on the door in the ice chute. This condition is normal and usually occurs when you have dispensed crushed ice repeatedly.
The snow will eventually evaporate.
■ Dispensed water is not ice cold. For colder water, simply add crushed ice or cubes before dispensing water.

Care and cleaning of the refrigerator.
Press here to remove grille.
Cleaning the Outside
The dispenser spill shelf
(on some models), should be wiped dry because it is not selfdraining. Water left under the grille may leave deposits. Remove the deposits by adding undiluted vinegar. Let it soak until the deposits disappear or become loose enough to rinse away.
The dispenser pad
(on some models). Clean with warm water and baking soda solution— about a tablespoon (15 ml) of baking soda to a quart (1 L) of water. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry.
HINT: Open the freezer door part way to prevent dispensing of ice or water when cleaning.
The door handles and trim.
Clean with a cloth dampened with soapy water. Dry with a soft cloth.
Keep the outside clean.
Wipe with a clean cloth lightly dampened with kitchen appliance wax or mild liquid dish detergent.
Dry and polish with a clean, soft cloth.
Do not wipe the refrigerator with a soiled dish cloth or wet towel. These may leave a residue that can erode the paint. Do not use scouring pads, powdered cleaners, bleach or cleaners containing bleach because these products can scratch and weaken the paint finish.
Clean the condenser coils at least once a year.
Cleaning the Inside
To help prevent odors,
leave an open box of baking soda in the fresh food and freezer compartments.
Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning.
If this is not practical, wring excess moisture out of sponge or cloth when cleaning around switches, lights or controls.
Use warm water and baking soda solution— about a tablespoon (15 ml) of baking soda to a quart (1 L) of water. This both cleans and neutralizes odors. Rinse and wipe dry.
After cleaning the door gaskets, apply a thin layer of petroleum jelly to the door gaskets at the hinge side. This helps keep the gaskets from sticking and bending out of shape.
Avoid cleaning cold glass shelves with hot water because the extreme temperature difference may cause them to break. Handle glass shelves carefully. Bumping tempered glass can cause it to shatter.
Do not wash any plastic refrigerator parts in the dishwasher.
Behind the Refrigerator
Be careful when moving the refrigerator away from the wall. All types of floor coverings can be damaged, particularly cushioned coverings and those with embossed surfaces.
Pull the refrigerator straight out and return it to position by pushing it straight in.
Moving the refrigerator in a side direction may result in damage to the floor covering or refrigerator.
When pushing the refrigerator back, make sure you don’t roll over the power cord or icemaker supply line (on some models).
Under the Refrigerator
For most efficient operation, keep the area under the refrigerator clean. Remove the base grille and sweep away or vacuum up dust.
11
Care and cleaning of the refrigerator.
Preparing for Vacation
For long vacations or absences, remove food and unplug the refrigerator. Move the fresh food control to the OFF position, and clean the interior with a baking soda solution of one tablespoon (15 ml) of baking soda to one quart (1 L) of water.
Leave the doors open.
On automatic icemaker models,
move the icemaker feeler arm (on some models) to the STOP (up) position and shut off the water supply to the refrigerator.
If the temperature can drop below freezing, have a qualified servicer drain the water supply system (on some models) to prevent serious property damage due to flooding.
Preparing to Move
Secure all loose items such as grille, shelves and drawers by taping them securely in place to prevent damage.
Be sure the refrigerator stays in an upright position during moving.
Light Bulb Replacement
To replace a burned-out bulb, unplug the refrigerator from its electrical outlet, unscrew the bulb when cool and replace it with an appliance bulb of the same or lower wattage.
When changing the freezer light, first remove the light shield.
Turning the control to the OFF position does not remove power to the light circuit.
12
Preparing to install the refrigerator.
Read these instructions completely and carefully.
Water Supply to the Icemaker
(on some models)
If the refrigerator has an icemaker, it will have to be connected to a cold water line.
A water supply kit (containing copper tubing, shutoff valve, fittings and instructions) is available at extra cost from your dealer or from Parts and
Accessories, 800-626-2002.
Refrigerator Location
Do not install the refrigerator where the temperature will go below 60°F (16°C) because it will not run often enough to maintain proper temperatures.
Install it on a floor strong enough to support it fully loaded.

Installing the water line.
Read these instructions completely and carefully.
Before You Begin
This water line installation is not warranted by the refrigerator or icemaker manufacturer. 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. Call a 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 feeler arm is kept in the STOP (up) position.
Do not install the icemaker tubing in areas where temperatures fall below freezing.
When using any electrical device (such as a power drill) during installation, be sure the device is insulated or wired in a manner to prevent the hazard of electric shock.
All installations must be in accordance with local plumbing code requirements.
What You Will Need
■
Cold water supply.
Choose the closest frequently used drinking water line. It is best to connect to a vertical section of pipe. The water pressure must be between 20 and 120 p.s.i.
■
Power drill,
unless you have a self-piercing valve.
■
Copper tubing,
1/4
″ outer diameter to connect the water supply to the refrigerator. Be sure both ends of the tubing are cut square.
To determine how much copper 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 (244 cm). The extra tubing should be coiled into 3 turns of about 10 inches (25 cm) diameter to allow the refrigerator to move out from the wall after installation.
Do not use plastic tubing or plastic fittings because the water supply line is under pressure at all times. Certain types of plastic tubing may become brittle with age and crack, resulting in water leakage.
■
Two 1/4
″
compression nuts and 2 ferrules (sleeves)—
to connect the copper tubing to the shutoff valve and the refrigerator water valve.
■
Shutoff valve
to connect to the cold water line. The shutoff valve should have a water inlet with a minimum inside diameter of 5/32
″ at the point of connection to the cold water line.
Saddle-type shutoff valves are included in many water supply kits. Before purchasing, make sure a saddle-type valve complies with your local plumbing codes.
NOTE: A water supply kit
(containing copper tubing, shutoff valve and fittings listed above) is available at extra cost from your dealer or from Parts and Accessories, 800-626-2002.

Install the Shutoff Valve
1
Prepare to install the shutoff valve on the nearest frequently used drinking water line.
2
Shut off the main water supply.
Then turn on an appropriate faucet to release pressure in the chosen pipe.
3
4
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, make the connection to the top or side, rather than at the bottom, to avoid drawing off any sediment from the water pipe.
Drill a 1/4
″ hole in the water pipe, using a sharp bit. Remove any burrs resulting from drilling the hole in the pipe.
5
Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water pipe with the pipe clamp.
6
Tighten the clamp screws until the sealing washer begins to swell.
Do not overtighten or you may crush the pipe or damage the tubing.

Route the Copper Tubing and Connect It to the Shutoff Valve
Route the copper tubing between the cold water line and the refrigerator.
If necessary, drill a hole in the wall or floor (behind the refrigerator or adjacent base cabinet) as close to the wall as possible.
Be sure there is sufficient extra tubing [about 8 feet (244 cm) coiled into 3 turns of about 10
″
(25 cm) diameter] to allow the refrigerator to move out from the wall after installation.
Place the compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) onto the end of the tubing and connect it to the shutoff valve.
Make sure the tubing is fully inserted into the valve.
Tighten the compression nut securely.
Also check if the shutoff valve is closed before advancing to the next step.

Turn On the Water and Flush Out the Tubing
1
Turn the main water supply on and flush out the tubing until the water is clear.
2
Shut the water off at the shutoff valve after at least one quart (1 L) of water has been flushed through the tubing.
20
Connect the Tubing to the Refrigerator
Before making the connection to the refrigerator, be sure the refrigerator power cord is not plugged into the wall outlet.
We recommend installing a water filter if your water supply has sand or particles that could clog the screen of the refrigerator’s water valve. Install it in the water line near the refrigerator.
1
Remove the plastic flexible cap from the water valve.
2
Place the compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) onto the end of the tubing as shown.
3
Insert the end of the copper tubing into the water valve connection as far as possible. While holding the tubing, tighten the fitting.
4
Fasten the copper tubing into the clamp provided to hold it in a vertical position.
You may need to pry open the clamp.

Start the Icemaker
Set the icemaker feeler arm to the ON (down) position. The icemaker will not begin to operate until it reaches its operating temperature of
15°F (-9°C) or below. It will then begin operation automatically if the icemaker feeler arm is in the
ON
(down) position.
NOTE: The icemaker may double-cycle when it first starts, causing some water spillage from the icemaker into the ice bucket. This is normal and should not happen again.
