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-listed (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.

DANGER! RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT

Consumer Support Troubleshooting Tips Operating Instructions Safety InstructionsInstallation Instructions

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 when hands are damp or wet.

Skin may stick to these extremely cold surfaces.

■

■Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable

vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any

other appliance.

■

■In refrigerators with automatic icemakers,

avoid contact with the moving parts of the

ejector mechanism, or with the heating

element located on the bottom of the icemaker.

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.

■

■Setting the controls to the O (off) position does

not remove power to the light circuit. On some

models, only the refrigerator control has a

O (off) setting.

■

■Do not refreeze frozen foods which have

thawed completely.

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.

Refrigerants

All refrigeration products contain refrigerants,

which under federal law must be removed prior

to product disposal. If you are getting rid of an

old refrigeration product, check with the company

handling the disposal about what to do.

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 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.

About the water filter. (on some models)

Water Filter Cartridge

The water filter cartridge is located inside

the cartridge holder in the back upper right

corner of the refrigerator compartment.

NOTE: Some models ship with the filter

bypass plug in place of the filter cartridge.

The filter bypass plug needs to be removed

before the filter cartridge is installed. Keep

the filter bypass plug for future use.

When to Replace the Filter

The filter cartridge should be replaced

every six months or earlier if the flow of

water to the icemaker and dispenser

decreases.

Installing the Filter Cartridge

If you are replacing the cartridge,

first remove the old one. To open the

cartridge cover, push in where indicated

and the cover will drop down.

Remove the cartridge by slowly rotating

it to the left. A small amount of water

may drip down.

CAUTION: If air has been

trapped in the system, the filter cartridge

may be ejected as it is removed. Use caution

when removing.

Mark your calendar to remind you to

replace the filter cartridge in six months.

Remove the protective foil from the end

of the cartridge.

Position the cartridge inside the

cartridge holder and slowly rotate the

cartridge to the right until it stops.

When the cartridge is properly installed,

you will feel it “click” as it locks into

place. The blade on the end of the

cartridge should be positioned

vertically. Do not overtighten.

Close the cartridge cover.

Run water from the dispenser for

3 minutes (about 11⁄2gallons) to clear

the system and prevent sputtering.

See To Use the Dispenser section.

NOTE: A newly-installed water filter cartridge

About the automatic icemaker.

A newly-installed refrigerator may take 12–24 hours to begin making ice.

Crisper Removal

To Remove:

These drawers can be removed easily by

lifting up slightly while pulling the drawer

past the stop location.

When the door cannot be fully opened,

door is fully closed. There is a latch at the

front of the center slide rail. Push down on

the latch and slide the center slide rail, to

which the drawer is attached, away from the

door. Remove the drawer.

Icemaker Accessory Kit

If your refrigerator did not come already

equipped with an automatic icemaker,

an icemaker accessory kit is available at

extra cost.

Check the back of the refrigerator for

the specific icemaker kit needed for

your model.

Automatic Icemaker (on some models)

The icemaker will produce seven or eight

cubes (depending on model) per cycle—

approximately 100–130 cubes in a 24-hour

period, depending on freezer compartment

temperature, room temperature, number

of door openings and other use conditions.

There are two types of icemakers: power

switch models and feeler arm models.

If the refrigerator is operated before the

water connection is made to the icemaker,

set the power switch to O (off) or move the

feeler arm to the STOP (up) position.

When the refrigerator has been connected

to the water supply, set the power switch to

the I (on) position or move the feeler arm to

the ON (down) position. On power switch

models, the green light will come on.

You will hear a buzzing sound each time

the icemaker fills with water.

The icemaker will fill with water when it

cools to approximately 15°F. A newly-

installed refrigerator may take 12 to 24

hours to begin making ice cubes.

Throw away the first few batches of ice to

allow the water line to clear.

Be sure nothing interferes with the sweep

of the feeler arm.

When the bin fills to the level of the feeler

arm, the icemaker will stop producing ice.

It is normal for several cubes to be joined

together.

If ice is not used frequently, old ice cubes

will become cloudy, taste stale and shrink.

On power switch models, the green power

light will blink if ice cubes get stuck in the

icemaker. To correct this, set the power

switch to O (off) and remove the cubes. Set

the power switch to I (on) to restart the

icemaker. After the icemaker has been

turned on again, there will be a delay of

about 45 minutes before the icemaker

resumes operation.

NOTE: In homes with lower-than-average water

pressure, you may hear the icemaker cycle multiple

times when making one batch of ice.
