Proper Disposal of Your Old Refrigerator
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.” If you are getting rid of 
your old refrigerator, please follow these instructions 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.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Unpack the Refrigerator
Remove the Packaging
■Remove tape and glue residue from surfaces before turning 
on the refrigerator. Rub a small amount of liquid dish soap 
over the adhesive with your fingers. Wipe with warm water 
and dry.
■Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, flammable 
fluids, or abrasive cleaners to remove tape or glue. These 
products can damage the surface of your refrigerator. For 
more information, see “Refrigerator Safety.”
■Dispose of/recycle all packaging materials. 
Clean Before Using
After you remove all of the packaging materials, clean the inside of 
your refrigerator before using it. See the cleaning instructions in 
“Refrigerator Care.”
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: 
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury when using your refrigerator, follow these basic precautions: 
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
■ Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
■ Do not remove ground prong.
■ Do not use an adapter.
■ Do not use an extension cord.
■ Disconnect power before servicing. 
■ Replace all parts and panels before operating.
■ Remove doors from your old refrigerator.
■ Use nonflammable cleaner.
■ Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, 
away from refrigerator. 
■ Use two or more people to move and install refrigerator.
■ Disconnect power before installing ice maker (on ice maker 
kit ready models only).
 
■ Use a sturdy glass when dispensing ice (on some models).
■ Do not hit the refrigerator glass doors (on some models).
WARNING
Suffocation Hazard
Remove doors from your old refrigerator. 
Failure to do so can result in death or brain damage.
WARNING
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install

Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
When Moving Your Refrigerator:
Your refrigerator is heavy. When moving the refrigerator for 
cleaning or service, be sure to cover the floor with 
cardboard or hardboard to avoid floor damage. Always pull 
the refrigerator straight out when moving it. Do not wiggle or 
“walk” the refrigerator when trying to move it, as floor 
damage could occur.
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
To ensure proper ventilation for your refrigerator, allow for a ¹⁄₂ 
(1.25 cm) of space on each side and at the top. Allow for a 1 
(2.54 cm) 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 a 3³⁄₄ (9.5 cm) minimum space between the refrigerator and 
wall to allow the door to swing open.
NOTE: It is recommended that you do not install the refrigerator 
near an oven, radiator, or other heat source. Do not install the 
refrigerator in a location where the temperature will fall below 55°F 
(13°C).
Electrical Requirements
Before you move your refrigerator into its final location, it is 
important to make sure you have the proper electrical connection.
Recommended Grounding Method
A 115 Volt, 60 Hz., AC only 15- or 20-amp fused, grounded 
electrical supply is required. It is recommended that a separate 
circuit serving only your refrigerator 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 Cooling OFF, and then disconnect the 
refrigerator from the electrical source. When you are finished, 
reconnect the refrigerator to the electrical source and turn Cooling 
ON. See “Using the Controls.”
WARNING

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:  
IMPORTANT:
■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 and 
120 psi (241 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 and 120 psi (241 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 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa).
If the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system is less than 
40 to 60 psi (276 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: 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 line.
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 1¹⁄₄ (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.
 
6.Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water pipe with the pipe 
clamp. Be sure the outlet end is solidly in the ¹⁄₄ drilled hole in 
the water pipe and that the washer is under the pipe clamp. 
Tighten the packing nut. Tighten the pipe clamp screws slowly 
and evenly so the washer makes a watertight seal. Do not 
overtighten. 
7.Slip the compression sleeve and compression nut on the 
copper tubing as shown. Insert the end of the tubing into the 
outlet end squarely as far as it will go. Screw compression nut 
onto outlet end with adjustable wrench. Do not overtighten or 
you may crush the copper tubing. 
8.Place the free end of the tubing in a container or sink, and turn 
ON the main water supply. Flush the tubing until water is clear. 
Turn OFF the shutoff valve on the water pipe.

Connect to Refrigerator 
1.Create a service loop (minimum diameter of 2 ft [61 cm]) with 
the copper tubing. Avoid kinks when coiling the copper 
tubing. 
2.Remove the plastic cap from water valve inlet port. Place a 
compression nut and sleeve on the copper tubing. 
3.Insert the end of the copper tubing into the water valve inlet 
port. Shape tubing slightly so that the tubing feeds straight 
into the port to avoid kinks.
4.Slide the compression nut over the sleeve and screw into the 
water valve inlet port. 
5.Using an adjustable wrench, hold the nut on the plastic water 
line to keep it from moving. Then, with a second wrench turn 
the compression nut on the copper tubing counterclockwise 
to completely tighten. Do not overtighten.
6.Check connection by pulling on copper tubing. Attach copper 
tubing to refrigerator cabinet with a “P” clamp. Turn on water 
supply to refrigerator and check for leaks. Correct any leaks.Complete the Installation

Adjust the Doors
IMPORTANT:
■Your refrigerator has two adjustable, front leveling screws – 
one on each side of the refrigerator base. If your refrigerator 
seems unsteady or you want the door to close easier, use the 
instructions below.
■Before moving the refrigerator, raise the leveling screws so the 
front rollers are touching the floor. 
1.Remove the base grille. Grasp the grille firmly and pull it 
toward you.
2.Raise or lower the cabinet. 
Using a ¹⁄₄ hex driver, turn the leveling screw on each side to 
raise or lower that side of the refrigerator.
NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the 
refrigerator takes some weight off the leveling screws. This 
makes it easier to turn the screws. It may take several turns of 
the leveling screw to adjust the tilt of the refrigerator.
■To raise, turn the leveling screw clockwise.
■To lower, turn the leveling screw counterclockwise. 
3.Open the door again to make sure that it closes as easily as 
you like. If not, tilt the refrigerator slightly more to the rear by 
turning both leveling screws clockwise. It may take several 
more turns, and you should turn both screws the same 
amount.
4.Replace the base grille.
REFRIGERATOR USE

■The ice maker should produce approximately 8 to 12 batches 
of ice in a 24-hour period. 
■To increase ice production, lower the freezer and refrigerator 
temperature. See “Using the Controls.” Wait 24 hours 
between adjustments. 
Remember
■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.
■Do not use anything sharp to break up the ice in the bin. This 
can cause damage to the ice bin and dispenser mechanism. 
■Do not store anything on top of the ice maker or in the ice 
storage bin.
Water and Ice Dispenser
IMPORTANT:
■After connecting the refrigerator to a water source, flush the 
water system. Use a sturdy container to depress and hold the 
water dispenser pad for 5 seconds, then release it for 
5 seconds. Repeat until water begins to flow. Once water 
begins to flow, continue depressing and releasing the 
dispenser pad (5 seconds on, 5 seconds off) until a total of 
4 gal. (15 L) has been dispensed. This will flush air from the 
filter and water dispensing system, and prepare the water filter 
for use. Additional flushing may be required in some 
households. As air is cleared from the system, water may 
spurt out of the dispenser.
NOTE: After 5 minutes of continuous dispensing, the 
dispenser will stop dispensing water to avoid flooding. To 
continue dispensing, remove the container and press the 
dispensing lever again. 
■The dispenser will dispense either water or cubed ice. 
■Allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to cool down and chill 
water. Dispense enough water every week to maintain a fresh 
supply.
■Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the 
first three batches of ice produced.
Dispense Ice and Water 
1.Select water or cubed ice by pressing the corresponding 
button on the dispenser control panel. A light above the 
button indicates your selection. 
2.Press a sturdy container against the dispenser lever.
