Proper Disposal of Your Old Refrigerator WARNING 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. Suffocation Hazard Remove doors from your old refrigerator. Failure to do so can result in death or brain damage. IMPORTANT: 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.
Location Requirements Electrical Requirements WARNING 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. To ensure proper ventilation for your refrigerator, allow for ¹⁄₂" (1.25 cm) space on each side and at the top. When installing your refrigerator next to a fixed wall, leave 2" (5.08 cm) minimum on each side (depending on your model) to allow for the door to swing open.
Refrigerator Doors Gather the required tools and parts and read all instructions before starting installation. TOOLS NEEDED: ¹⁄₄", ¹⁄₂", and ⁵⁄₁₆" hex-head socket wrenches. IMPORTANT: Before you begin, turn the refrigerator control OFF. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power. Remove food, the ice storage bin, and any adjustable door or utility bins from doors. NOTE: To get your product through the doorway of your home, measure the doorway to see if you need to remove the whole doors.
IMPORTANT: Do not remove screw A, present on some models. Remove the Doors Models without Water and Ice Dispensers WARNING Electrical Shock Hazard Disconnect power before removing doors. Failure to do so can result in death or electrical shock. Models with Water and Ice Dispensers 1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power. 2. Open both refrigerator doors. Remove the base grille by pulling up on the bottom outside corners. See Graphic 1. 3.
■ Adjust the Doors Your refrigerator has two front adjustable rollers — one on the right and one on the left. If your refrigerator seems unsteady or if you want the doors to close more easily, adjust the refrigerator's tilt using the instructions below: 1. Move the refrigerator into its final location. 2. The two leveling screws are part of the front roller assemblies which are at the base of the refrigerator on either side. See Graphic 7. 3. Use a ¹⁄₂" hex-head wrench to adjust the leveling screws.
NOTE: Tighten the nut by hand. Then tighten it with a wrench two more turns. Do not overtighten. Connect to Refrigerator Style 1 1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power. 2. Attach the copper tube to the valve inlet using a compression nut and sleeve as shown. Tighten the compression nut. Do not overtighten. 3. Use the tube clamp on the back of the refrigerator to secure the tubing to the refrigerator as shown.
IMPORTANT: ■ Your product will not cool when the REFRIGERATOR Control is set to OFF. ■ The Refrigerator Control adjusts the refrigerator compartment temperature. The Freezer Control adjusts the freezer compartment temperature. ■ Settings to the left of the mid-setting make the temperature less cold. Settings to the right of the mid-setting make the temperature colder. ■ Wait 24 hours before you put food into the refrigerator.
Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the first three batches of ice produced. ■ The display screen on the dispenser control panel has a backlight, which will turn off automatically when the control buttons have not been used for 30 seconds or more. When the backlight is off, the first press of a control button will only reactivate the backlight, without changing any settings.
REMEMBER: ■ Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the first three batches of ice produced. ■ The quality of your ice will be only as good as the quality of the water supplied to your ice maker. Avoid connecting the ice maker to a softened water supply. Water softener chemicals (such as salt) can damage parts of the ice maker and lead to poor quality ice. If a softened water supply cannot be avoided, make sure the water softener is operating properly and is well maintained.
2. Hand wash, rinse, and dry removable parts and interior surfaces thoroughly. Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water. 3. Wash stainless steel and painted metal exteriors with a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water. 4. There is no need for routine condenser cleaning in normal home operating environments.
The doors are difficult to open Ice and Water The ice maker is not producing ice or not enough ice WARNING ■ 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.
■ Has the ice melted around the auger (metal spiral) in the ice bin? Empty the ice container. Use warm water to melt the ice if necessary. WARNING ■ 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.
