USING YOUR REFRIGERATOR ENSURING PROPER AIR CIRCULATION SETTING THE CONTROLS In order to ensure proper temperatures, air must flow between the refrigerator and freezer sections. As shown in the illustration below, cool air enters through the bottom of the freezer section and moves up. Most of the air then flows through the freezer section vents and recirculates under the freezer floor. The rest of the air enters the refrigerator section through the top vent.
USING YOUR REFRIGERATOR Identify your control type CONDITION/REASON: REFRIGERATOR section too warm Door opened often Large amount of food added Room temperature very warm Refrigerator control: position 1 to 7 (32°F to 47°F or 0°C to 8°C) The higher the number setting, the colder the refrigerator compartment will become.
USING YOUR REFRIGERATOR Packaging Successful freezing depends on correct packaging. When you close and seal the package, it must not allow air or moisture in or out. If you do, you could have food odor and taste transfer throughout the refrigerator and also dry out frozen food. FOOD STORAGE GUIDE Storing Fresh Food Wrap or store food in the refrigerator in airtight and moisture-proof material unless otherwise noted. This prevents food odor and taste transfer throughout the refrigerator.

ABOUT THE AUTOMATIC ICEMAKER ICEMAKER If the refrigerator is used before the water connection is made to the icemaker, set the power switch to O (OFF). NOTE: Automatic Ice Maker feature is included only in certain models. Please check your product specification. W A R N I N G Personal Injury Hazard Avoid contact with the moving parts of the ejector mechanism, or with the heating element that releases the cubes.
CONNECTING THE WATER LINE NOTE: Water line installation is needed when the Automatic Icemaker and/or Water Dispenser features are available on your product. To determine how much 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 (2,4 m). Be sure there is sufficient extra tubing (about 8 feet [2,4 m] coiled into 3 turns of about 10 [25 cm] diameter) to allow the refrigerator to move out from the wall after installation.
CONNECTING THE WATER LINE 6. ROUTE THE TUBING INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS (CONTINUED) 2. CHOOSE THE VALVE LOCATION Route the tubing between the cold water line and the refrigerator. 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.
CONNECTING THE WATER LINE 9. CONNECT THE TUBING TO THE REFRIGERATOR 10.TURN THE WATER ON AT THE SHUT OFF VALVE NOTES: Tighten any connections that leak. Before making the connection to the refrigerator, be sure the refrigerator power cord is not plugged into the wall outlet. If your refrigerator does not have a water filter, we recommend installing one if your water supply has sand or particles that could clog the screen of the refrigerator’s water valve.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE The defrost timer will click when the automatic defrost cycle begins and ends. The thermostat control (or refrigerator control, depending on the model) will also click when cycling on and off. UNDERSTANDING SOUNDS YOU MAY HEAR Your new refrigerator may make sounds that your old one didn’t make. Because the sounds are new to you, you might be concerned about them. Most of the new sounds are normal.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE COMPRESSOR MOTOR SEEMS TO RUN TOO MUCH Check if... Then... The refrigerator that was replaced was an older model. Modern refrigerators with more storage space require more operating time. The room temperature is hotter than normal. The motor will run longer under warm conditions. At normal room temperatures, expect your motor to run about 40% to 80% of the time. Under warmer conditions, expect it to run even more often.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE ICE HAS OFF-TASTE OR ODOR Check if... Then... The icemaker was recently installed. Discard first few batches of ice to avoid discolored or off-flavored ice. The ice has been stored for too long. Throw away old ice and make new supply. Food has not been wrapped tightly in either compartment. Rewrap foods since odors may migrate to the ice if food is not wrapped properly. The water supply contains minerals such as sulfur.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE AUTOMATIC ICEMAKER DOES NOT WORK Check if... Then... Icemaker power switch in the O (OFF) position. Move the switch to the I (ON) position. Water supply turned off or not connected. See the Connecting the Water Line Section. Freezer compartment too warm. Wait 24 hours for the freezer to reach its ideal temperature. Piled up cubes in the storage bin cause the icemaker to shut off. Level cubes by hand. TEMPERATURE IS TOO WARM OR THERE IS INTERIOR MOISTURE BUILD UP Check if...
