First Steps This Owner’s Guide provides specific operating instructions for your model. Use refrigerator only as instructed in this Owner’s Guide. Before starting refrigerator, follow these important first steps: Location Install refrigerator: • near a grounded electrical outlet. DO NOT use an extension cord or an adapter plug. • out of direct sunlight and away from range, dishwasher, or other heat sources, if possible. • on a floor that is level and strong enough to support a fully loaded refrigerator.
First Steps Connecting Ice Maker to Water Supply (continued) Do Not Install Ice Maker Tubing Where Temperature May Fall Below Freezing. Check to be sure your water connection will comply with local plumbing codes. Water quality determines your ice quality. It is best to connect the ice maker to water that is not softened. 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.
Energy Saving Ideas • Locate the refrigerator in the coolest part of the room, out of direct sunlight and away from heating ducts or registers. Do not place the refrigerator next to heatproducing appliances such as a range, oven or dishwasher. If this is not possible, a section of cabinetry or an added layer of insulation between the two appliances will help the refrigerator operate more efficiently. • Level the refrigerator so the doors close tightly.
Fresh Food Storage Shelf Adjustment Refrigerator shelves are easily adjusted to suit individual needs. Before adjusting shelves, remove all food. The shipping clips which stabilize the shelves for shipping may be removed and discarded. To adjust the cantilever shelves (shelves supported at the rear of the refrigerator), lift the back of the shelf up and out. Replace shelf by inserting hooks at rear into slots. Lower and lock into position.
Automatic Ice and Water Dispenser The ice and water dispenser on the freezer door conveniently dispenses chilled water and ice cubes. To operate the dispenser, slide the knob to the selection of your choice and press a glass against the dispensing arm, as shown. Be sure to hold the glass as far up as possible to catch all cubes. To stop dispensing, pull glass away from dispensing arm. Release dispensing arm before the glass is full, but do not remove the glass until the ice has completely dispensed.
Automatic Ice and Water Dispenser (continued) Do not use the ice chute as a handle when removing or replacing the ice storage bin. Surfaces there may be sharp. WARNING DO NOT PUT FINGERS UP ICE CHUTE. SURFACES THERE MAY BE SHARP. Ice Dispenser Tips 1. Ice cubes stored too long may develop an odd flavor. Empty the container and return it to the proper position. The ice maker will then produce more ice. 2. Occasionally shake the container to keep ice separated. 3.
Care and Cleaning Keep your refrigerator and freezer clean to prevent odor build-up. Wipe up any spills immediately and clean both sections at least twice a year. Never use metallic scouring pads, brushes, abrasive cleaners or strong alkaline solutions on any surface. Do not wash any removable parts in a dishwasher. Always unplug the power cord from the wall outlet before cleaning. NOTE: Turning the control to OFF does not disconnect power to the controls, light bulb, or other electrical components.
Care and Cleaning Long vacations: • Remove all food and ice if you will be gone 1 month or more. • Turn controls to OFF and disconnect power. • Turn off automatic ice maker and turn water supply valve to the closed position. • Clean interior thoroughly. Leave both doors open to prevent odor and mold build-up. Block open if necessary. Moving: When moving refrigerator, follow these guidelines to prevent damage: • Remove all food and other items from both the refrigerator and freezer compartments.

To disconnect water line, grip tube firmly in left hand and use tool (located in bag under toe grille) to push in on gray collar to release water connector (Figure 1). 3. Remove screw to detach lower hinge cover (Figure 2). 4. To disconnect wiring harness plug connector, place your thumbs on the flat sides of each connector piece. Bend both parts back and forth.
