Important information to know about glass shelves and covers:
Do not clean glass shelves or covers with warm water when they are cold. Shelves and covers may break if exposed to sudden temperature changes or impact, such as bumping.
Tempered glass is designed to shatter into many small, pebble-size pieces. This is normal. Glass shelves and covers are heavy. Use both hands when removing them to avoid dropping.

Location Requirements

WARNING

Explosion Hazard
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as
gasoline, away from refrigerator.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

IMPORTANT: This appliances is intended to be used in household and similar applications such as:

• Staff kitchen areas in shops, office and other working environments,
• Farm houses and by clients in hotels, motels and other residential type environments,
• Bed and breakfast type environments,
• Catering and similar non-retail applications.

To ensure proper ventilation for your refrigerator, allow for 1/2″ (1.25 cm) of space on each side and at the top. Allow for 1″ (2.54 cm) of space behind the refrigerator. If your refrigerator has an ice maker, allow extra space at the back for the water line connections. When installing your refrigerator next to a fixed wall, leave 2½” (6.3 cm) minimum on the hinge side (some models require more) to allow for the door to swing open.

NOTE: This refrigerator is intended for use in a location where the temperature ranges from a minimum of 55°F (13°C) to a maximum of 110°F (43°C). The preferred room temperature range for optimum performance, which reduces electricity usage and provides superior cooling, is between 60°F (15°C) and 90°F (32°C). It is recommended that you do not install the refrigerator near a heat source, such as an oven or radiator.

Electrical Requirements

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

Before you move your refrigerator into its final location, it is important to make sure you have the proper electrical connection.
If the electrical supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified person. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either the plug or connector end.

Recommended Grounding Method
A 115 V, 60 Hz, AC only 15 A or 20 A fused, grounded electrical supply is required. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only your refrigerator and approved accessories be provided. Use an outlet that cannot be turned off by a switch. Do not use an extension cord.
NOTE: Before performing any type of installation, cleaning, or removing a light bulb, turn OFF Cooling, and then disconnect the refrigerator from the electrical source. When you have finished, reconnect the refrigerator to the electrical source and turn ON Cooling. See “Using the Controls.”

Water Supply Requirements

Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation.
Read and follow the instructions provided with any tools listed here.

TOOLS NEEDED:

• Flat-blade screwdriver
• 7/16″ and 1/2″ Open-end or two adjustable wrenches
• Cordless drill
• 1/4″ Nut driver
• 1/4″ Drill bit

IMPORTANT:

• Connect to potable water supply only.
  Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or  of unknown quality without adequate disinfection beforeor after the system. Systems certified for cyst reduction may be used on disinfected waters that may contain filterable cysts.

• All installations must meet local plumbing code requirements.

• Do not use a piercing-type or 3/16″ (4.76 mm) saddle valve which reduces water flow and clogs more easily.

• Use copper tubing and check for leaks. Install copper tubing only in areas where the household temperatures will remain above freezing.

• For models with water filters, the disposable water filter should be replaced at least every 6 months.

Water Pressure

A cold water supply with water pressure of between 35 psi and 120 psi (241 kPa and 827 kPa) is required to operate the water dispenser and ice maker. If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, qualified plumber.
Reverse Osmosis Water Supply
IMPORTANT: The pressure of the water supply coming out of a reverse osmosis system going to the water inlet valve of the refrigerator needs to be between 35 psi and 120 psi (241 kPa and 827 kPa).

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 psi to 60 psi (276 kPa to 414 kPa).

If the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system is less than 40 psi to 60 psi (276 kPa to 414 kPa):

• Check to see whether 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 your refrigerator has a water filter, it may further reduce the water pressure when used in conjunction with a reverse osmosis system. Remove the water filter. See “Water Filtration System.

If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, qualified plumber.

Connect the Water Supply

Read all directions before you begin.

IMPORTANT:

• Plumbing shall be installed in accordance with the International Plumbing Code and any local codes and ordinances.
• The water tubing on the back of the refrigerator (which is used to connect to the household water line) is a PEX (cross-linked polyethylene) tube. Copper and PEX tubing co nnections from the household water line to the refrigerator are acceptable and will help avoid off-taste or odor in your ice or water. Check for leaks. We recommend contacting service to obtain current part numbers.
• Install tubing only in areas where temperatures will remain above freezing.
• If you turn on the refrigerator before the water line is connected, turn off the ice maker to avoid excessive noise or damage to the water valve.

Connect to Water Line

1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

2. Turn OFF main water supply. Turn ON nearest faucet long enough to clear line of water.

3. Find a 1/2″ to 1¼” (12.7 mm to 31.8 mm) vertical cold water pipe near the refrigerator.
   IMPORTANT:
   

   • Make sure it is a cold water pipe.
   • Horizontal pipe will work, but the following procedure must be followed: Drill on the top side of the pipe, not the bottom.
     This will help keep water away from the drill. This also keeps normal sediment from collecting in the valve.

4. Determine the length of copper tubing you need. Measure from the connection on the rear of the refrigerator to the water pipe. Add 7 ft (2.1 m) to allow for cleaning. Use 1/4″ (6.35 mm) O.D. (outside diameter) copper tubing. Be sure both ends of copper tubing are cut square.

5. Using a cordless drill, drill a 1/4″ hole in the cold water pipe you have selected.

Refrigerator Operation

The refrigerator will not operate

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

• Power cord unplugged? Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
• Is outlet working? Plug in a lamp to see if the outlet is working.
• Household fuse blown or circuit breaker tripped? Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. If the problem continues, call an electrician.
• Are controls on? Make sure the refrigerator controls are on. See “Using the Controls.”
• New installation? Allow 24 hours following installation for the refrigerator to cool completely.
  NOTE: Adjusting the temperature controls to coldest setting will not cool either compartment more quickly

The motor seems to run too much

Your new refrigerator may run longer than your old one due to its high- efficiency compressor and fans. The unit may run even longer if the room is warm, a large food load is added, doors are opened often, or if the doors have been left open.

The refrigerator seems noisy

Refrigerator noise has been reduced over the years. Due to this reduction, you may hear intermittent noises from your new refrigerator that you did not notice from your old model. Below are listed some normal sounds with explanations.

• Buzzing – heard when the water valve opens to fill the ice maker
• Pulsating – fans/compressor adjusting to optimize performance
• Hissing/Rattling – flow of refrigerant, movement of water lines, or from items placed on top of the refrigerator
• Sizzling/Gurgling – water dripping on the heater during defrost cycle
• Popping – contraction /expansion of inside walls, especially during initial cool-down
• Water running – may be heard when ice melts during the defrost cycle and water runs into the drain pan
• Creaking/Cracking – occurs as ice is being ejected from the ice maker mold.

The doors will not close completely

• Door blocked open? Move food packages away from door.
• Bin or shelf in the way? Push bin or shelf back in the correct position.

The doors are difficult to open

WARNING

Explosion Hazard
Use nonflammable cleaner.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

• Gaskets dirty or sticky? Clean gaskets and contact surfaces with mild soap and warm water. Rinse and dry with soft cloth.

Temperature and Moisture

Temperature is too warm

• New installation? Allow 24 hours following installation for the refrigerator to cool completely.
• Door(s) opened often or left open? Allows warm air to enter refrigerator. Minimize door openings and keep doors fully closed.
• Large load of food added? Allow several hours for refrigerator to return to normal temperature.
• Controls set correctly for the surrounding conditions?
  Adjust the controls a setting colder. Check temperature in 24 hours. See “Using the Controls.”

There is interior moisture buildup

WARNING

Explosion Hazard
Risk of fire or explosion. Flammable refrigerant used.
Do not use mechanical devices to defrost refrigerator.
Do not puncture refrigerant tubing.

NOTE: Some moisture buildup is normal.

• Humid room? Contributes to moisture buildup.
• Door(s) opened often or left open? Allows humid air to enter refrigerator. Minimize door openings and keep doors fully closed.

Ice and Water

The ice maker is not producing ice or not enough ice

• Refrigerator connected to a water supply and the supply shutoff valve turned on? Connect refrigerator to water supply and turn water shutoff valve fully open.
• Kink in the water source line? A kink in the line can reduce water flow. Straighten the water source line.
• Ice maker turned on? Make sure wire shutoff arm or switch (depending on model) is in the ON position.
• New installation? Wait 24 hours after ice maker installation for ice production to begin. Wait 72 hours for full ice production.
• Freezer door closed completely? Firmly close the freezer compartment door. If the freezer compartment door will not close all the way, see “The doors will not close completely,” earlier in this section.
• Large amount of ice recently removed? Allow 24 hours for ice maker to produce more ice.
• Ice cube jammed in the ice maker ejector arm? Remove ice from the ejector arm with a plastic utensil.
• Water filter installed on the refrigerator? Remove filter and operate ice maker. If ice volume improves, then the filter may be clogged or incorrectly installed. Replace filter or reinstall it correctly.
• Reverse osmosis water filtration system connected to your cold water supply? This can decrease water pressure. See “Water Supply Requirements.”

The ice cubes are hollow or small

NOTE: This is an indication of low water pressure.

• Water shutoff valve not fully open? Turn the water shutoff valve fully open.
• Kink in the water source line? A kink in the line can reduce water flow. Straighten the water source line.
• Water filter installed on the refrigerator? Remove filter and operate ice maker. If ice quality improves, then the filter may be clogged or incorrectly installed. Replace filter or reinstall it correctly.
• Reverse osmosis water filtration system connected to your cold water supply? This can decrease water pressure. See “Water Supply Requirements.”
• Questions remain regarding water pressure? Call a licensed, qualified plumber.

Off-taste, odor or gray color in the ice

• New plumbing connections? New plumbing connections can cause discolored or off-flavored ice.
• Ice stored too long? Discard ice. Wash ice bin. Allow 24 hours for ice maker to make new ice.
• Odor transfer from food? Use airtight, moisture proof packaging to store food.
• Are there minerals (such as sulfur) in the water? A water filter may need to be installed to remove the minerals.
• Water filter installed on the refrigerator? Gray or dark discoloration in ice indicates that the water filtration system needs additional flushing. Flush the water system before using a new water filter. Replace water filter when indicated. See “Water Filtration System.”

The water dispenser will not operate properly

• Refrigerator connected to a water supply and the supply shutoff valve turned on? Connect refrigerator to water supply and turn water shutoff valve fully open.
• Kink in the water source line? Straighten the water source line.
• New installation? Flush and fill the water system. See “Water Dispenser.”
• Is the water pressure at least 35 psi (241 kPa)? The water pressure to the home determines the flow from the dispenser. See “Water Supply Requirements.”
• Water filter installed on the refrigerator? Remove filter and operate dispenser. If water flow increases, the filter may be clogged or incorrectly installed. Replace filter or reinstall it correctly.
• Refrigerator door closed completely? Close the door firmly. If it does not close completely, see “The doors will not close completely,” earlier in this section.
• Recently removed the doors? Make sure the water dispenser wire/tube assembly has been properly reconnected. See “Refrigerator Door(s) and Drawer.”
• Reverse osmosis water filtration system connected to your cold water supply? This can decrease water pressure. See “Water Supply Requirements.”

Water is leaking from the dispenser system

NOTE: One or two drops of water after dispensing is normal.

• Glass not being held under the dispenser long enough? Hold the glass under the dispenser 2 to 3 seconds after releasing the dispenser lever.
• New installation? Flush the water system. See “Water Dispenser.”
• Recently changed water filter? Flush the water system. See “Water Dispenser.”
• Water on the floor near the base grille? Make sure the water dispenser tube connections are fully tightened. See “Refrigerator Door(s) and Drawer

Water from the dispenser is warm

NOTE: Water from the dispenser is only chilled to 50°F (10°C).

• New installation? Allow 24 hours after installation for the water supply to cool completely.
• Recently dispensed large amount of water? Allow 24 hours for water supply to cool completely.
• Water not been recently dispensed? The first glass of water may not be cool. Discard the first glass of water.
• Refrigerator connected to a cold water pipe? Make sure the refrigerator is connected to a cold water pipe. See “Water Supply Requirements.”
