Important Safety Instructions

WARNING: Please Read All Instructions Before Using This Refrigerator.

FOR YOUR SAFETY

• Do not store or use gasoline, or other flammable liquids

in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. Read pro-

duct labels for warnings regarding flammability and other

hazards.

• Do not operate the refrigerator in the presense of

explosive fumes.

• Avoid contact with any moving parts of automatic ice

maker.

• Remove all stables from the carton. Staples can cause

severe cuts, and also destroy finishes if they come in

contact with other appliances or furniture.

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.

These Guidelines Must Be Followed To Ensure That Safety Mechanisms In This Refrigerator

Will Operate Properly.

PROPER DISPOSAL OF YOUR REFRIGERATOR

OR FREEZER

Risk of child entrapment

Child entrapment and

suffocation are not problems of

the past. Junked or abondoned

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.

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.

ELECTRICAL INFORMATION

•The refrigerator must be plugged into its own

dedicated 115 Volt, 60 Hz., AC only electric 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.

Do not use an extension cord or adapter plug.

• Immediately repair or replace any power cord that

becomes frayed or damaged.

• 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 outlet controlled by a wall

switch or pull cord to prevent the refrigerator from being

turned off accidentally.

• Avoid connecting refrigerator to a Ground Fault

Interruptor (GFI) circuit.

NOTE: Turning the refrigerator temperature control to “0”

turns off the compressor, but does not disconnect

electrical power to the light bulb or other electrical

components.

This Use & Care Manual provides specific operating

instructions for your model. Use the refrigerator only as

instructed in this Use & Care Manual. Before starting the

refrigerator, follow these important first steps.

LOCATION

• Choose a place that is near a grounded 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.

INSTALLATION

•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.

InstallationClearances

• Allow the following clearances for ease of installation,

proper air circulation, and plumbing and electrical

connections:

Sides & Top --------------- 3/8”

Back ------------------------ 1”

NOTE: If you see black coils/tubing on the back of your

refrigerator (air-cooled condenser) leave 3” clearance at

top of refrigerator.

DOOR OPENING

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.

Your refrigerator should be positioned to allow easy access

to a counter when removing food. To make this possible, the

direction in which the doors open can be reversed. See Door

Removal&ReversalInstructionson page 6.

Installation

LEVELING

All four corners of your refrigerator must rest firmly on a

solid floor. Your refrigerator is equipped with adjustable front

rollers to help level your unit.

To LevelYourRefrigerator:

1. Remove toe grille.

2. Use flat-blade screwdriver or 3/8” socket wrench

to adjust front rollers.

NOTE: Raise the front of the refrigerator enough so the

doors close freely when opened halfway. The refrigerator

should slope ¼” to ½” from front-to-back. Then level the

refrigerator from side to side.

Installation - Connecting Optional Ice Maker To Water Supply

To avoid electric shock, which can cause death or severe personal injury, disconnect the

refrigerator from electrical power before connecting a water supply line to the refrigerator.

To Avoid Property Damage:

•Copper tubing is recommended for the water supply line. Water supply tubing made of ¼” plastic is not

recommended since it greatly increases the potential for water leaks. Manufacturer will not be responsible for

any damage if plastic tubing is used for supply line.

• DO NOT install water supply tubing in areas where temperatures fall below freezing.

•Chemicals from a malfunctioning softener can damage the ice maker. If the ice maker is connected to soft

water, ensure that the softener is maintained and working properly.

IMPORTANT: Ensure that your water supply line connections comply with all local plumbing codes.

NOTE: Water line kit number 5303917950, available from your appliance dealer at additional cost, contains 25 feet (7.6

meters) of ¼ inch OD copper tubing, a saddle type shutoff valve (nonpiercing), (2) ¼ inch brass compression nuts, (2)

ferrules/sleeves, and instructions for installing a water supply line.

Before Installing The Water Supply Line,You Will Need

•Basic Tools: adjustable wrench, flat-blade screwdriver, and PhillipsTM screwdriver

• Access to a household cold water line with water pressure between 20 and 120 psi.

• A water supply line made of ¼ inch (6.4 mm) OD, copper tubing. To determine the length of copper tubing needed,

you will need to measure the distance from the ice maker inlet valve at the back of the refrigerator to your cold water

pipe. Then add approximately 7 feet (2.1 meters), so the refrigerator can be moved out for cleaning (as shown).

• A shutoff valve to connect the water supply line to your household water system. DO NOT use a self-piercing type

shutoff valve.

• A compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) for connecting the water supply line to the ice maker inlet valve.

IMPORTANT: It takes approximately 24 hours for the ice maker to begin producing ice. Air in new plumbing lines may

cause ice maker to cycle two or three times before making a full tray of ice. New plumbing may cause ice to be discolored

or have poor flavor. Discard ice made during the first 24 hours.

To Connect Water Supply Line To Ice Maker Inlet Valve

1. Disconnect refrigerator from electric power source.

2. Place end of water supply line into sink or bucket. Turn ON water supply

and flush supply line until water is clear. Turn OFF water supply at shut

off valve.

3. Unscrew plastic cap from water valve inlet and discard cap.

4. Slide brass compression nut, then ferrule (sleeve) onto water supply line,

as shown.

5. Push water supply line into water valve inlet as far as it will go (¼ inch).

Slide ferrule (sleeve) into valve inlet and finger tighten compression nut

onto valve. Tighten another half turn with a wrench; DO NOT over tighten.

6. With steel clamp and screw, secure water supply line to rear panel of

refrigerator as shown.

7. Coil excess water supply line (about 2½ turns) behind refrigerator as shown

and arrange coils so they do not vibrate or wear against any other surface.

8. Turn ON water supply at shutoff valve and tighten any connections that

leak.

9. Reconnect refrigerator to electrical power source.

10. To turn ice maker on, lower wire signal arm (see ice maker front cover for ON/

OFF position of arm).
