• When working directly on the doors, protect the
door corners and sides by placing doors on a
nonabrasive surface protected by towels or rugs.
Subflooring or floor coverings (i.e. carpet, tile, wood
floors, rugs) may make your opening smaller than
anticipated.
• Protect the glass panel sides when securing the
unit to a dolly. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN! Over
tightening the restraints may shatter the glass
which could cause personal injury.
Some clearance may be gained by using the leveling
procedure under Leveling.
• DO NOT carry or transport removed doors by the
handles.
IMPORTANT: If refrigerator is to be installed into a
recess where the top of the refrigerator is completely
covered, use dimensions from floor to top of hinge cap
to verify proper clearance.
• Fully tighten handle set screws when installing the
door handles.

ICE AND WATER
Automatic Ice Maker
(select models)
• Certain sounds may accompany the various cycles of
the ice maker. The motor may have a slight hum, the
cubes will rattle as they fall into an empty storage
pan and the water valve may click or “buzz”
occasionally.
Note
• Energy rating guides that are posted on the
refrigerator at the time of purchase do not include
optional ice maker energy usage.
• If the ice is not used frequently, the ice cubes will
become cloudy, shrink, stick together and taste stale.
Empty the ice storage bin periodically and wash it in
lukewarm water. Be sure to dry the bin thoroughly
before replacing it.
Some models are automatic ice maker ready. The
number of the appropriate ice maker kit is IC10S. The
kit contains installation instructions and water
connection instructions.
• Beverages and foods should not be placed in the ice
storage bin for quick chilling. These items can block
the ice maker arm, causing the ice maker to
malfunction.
Other models have a factory installed ice maker.
Connect the ice maker to the water supply as
instructed on page 5. Proper water flow and a level
refrigerator are essential for optimal ice maker
performance.
• Turn off the ice maker by raising the ice maker arm
when the water supply is to be shut off for several
hours.
To Remove the Ice Bin:
Operating Instructions
• Pull it forward, away from the ice maker. To avoid the
ice maker dumping ice while the bin is removed, turn
the ice maker off by raising the sensor arm.
• Confirm ice bin is in place and ice maker arm is
down.
• To check the ice level or gain
access to the ice bin, lift open the
door on the ice bin.
To Install the Ice Bin:
• Reverse the above procedure. Turn the ice maker on
by lowering the ice maker arm.
• After freezer section reaches
between 0° to 2° F (-18° to -17° C),
ice maker fills with water and
begins operating. You will have a complete harvest of
ice approximately every three hours.
WARNING
To avoid personal injury or property damage, observe
the following:
• Do not place fingers or hands on the automatic ice
making mechanism while the refrigerator is plugged
in. This will help protect you from possible injury. It
will also prevent interference with moving parts of
the ejector mechanism and the heating element that
releases the cubes.
• Allow approximately 24 hours after installation to
receive first harvest of ice.
• Discard ice created within first 12 hours of operation
to verify system is flushed of impurities.
• Stop ice production by raising ice maker arm until
click is heard.
• Under certain rare circumstances, ice cubes may be
discolored, usually appearing with a green-bluish
hue. The cause of this unusual discoloration can be
a combination of factors such as certain
characteristics of local waters, household plumbing
and the accumulation of copper salts in an inactive
water supply line which feeds the ice maker.
Continued consumption of such discolored ice cubes
may be injurious to health. If such discoloration is
observed, discard the ice cubes and contact your
dealer to purchase and install a water line filter.
• Ice maker will remain in the OFF position until arm is
pushed down.
• The first one or two batches will probably contain
undersized and irregular cubes because of air in the
supply line.
• When the ice cubes are ejected it is normal for
several cubes to be joined together at the ends. They
can easily be broken apart. The ice maker will
continue to make ice until the supply of ice cubes
raises the ice maker arm, shutting the ice maker off.
• Water damage due to improper water connection
may cause mold/mildew growth.
• Clean up water and ice spills to avoid personal injury
and to prevent mold/mildew growth.

FOOD STORAGE TIPS
Fresh Food Storage
Frozen Food Storage
• The fresh food compartment of a refrigerator should
be kept between 34°-40° F (1°-4° C) with an
optimum temperature of 37° F (3° C). To check the
temperature, place an appliance thermometer in a
glass of water and place in the center of the
refrigerator. Check after 24 hours. If the temperature
is above 40° F (4° C) adjust the control as explained
on pages 10, 11 and 12.
• The freezer compartment of a refrigerator should be
kept at approximately 0° F (-18° C). To check the
temperature, place an appliance thermometer
between the frozen packages and check after 24
hours. If the temperature is above 0° F (-18° C), adjust
the control as described on page 10, 11 and 12.
• A freezer operates more efficiently when it is at least
two-thirds full.
• Avoid overcrowding the refrigerator shelves. This
reduces the circulation of air around the food and
results in uneven cooling.
Packaging Foods for Freezing
• To minimize dehydration and quality deterioration use
aluminum foil, freezer wrap, freezer bags or airtight
containers. Force as much air out of the packages as
possible and be sure they are tightly sealed. Trapped
air can cause the food to dry out, change color and
develop an off-flavor (freezer burn).
Fruits and Vegetables
• Storage in the crisper drawers traps humidity to help
preserve the fruit and vegetable quality for longer
time periods (see page 15).
• Sort fruits and vegetables before storage and use
bruised or soft items first. Discard those showing
signs of decay.
• Overwrap fresh meats and poultry with suitable
freezer wrap prior to freezing.
• Do not refreeze meat that has completely thawed.
• Always wrap odorous foods such as onions and
cabbage so the odor does not transfer to other foods.
Loading the Freezer
• While vegetables need a certain amount of humidity
to remain fresh, too much humidity can shorten
storage times (especially leafy vegetables). Drain
vegetables well before storing.
• Avoid adding too much warm food to the freezer at
one time. This overloads the freezer, slows the rate of
freezing and can raise the temperature of frozen
foods.
• Wait to wash fresh produce until right before use.
• Leave space between the packages so cold air can
circulate freely, allowing food to freeze as quickly as
possible.
Meat and Cheese
• Raw meat and poultry should be wrapped securely
so leakage and contamination of other foods or
surfaces does not occur.
• Avoid storing hard-to-freeze foods such as ice cream
and orange juice on the freezer door shelves. These
foods are best stored in the freezer interior where the
temperature varies less with door openings.
• Occasionally mold will develop on the surface of
hard cheeses (Swiss, Cheddar, Parmesan). Cut off at
least an inch around and below the moldy area. Keep
your knife or instrument out of the mold itself. Do not
try to save individual cheese slices, soft cheese,
cottage cheese, cream, sour cream or yogurt when
mold appears.
Refer to the Food Storage Chart on pages 24, 25 and 26
for approximate storage times.
Dairy Food
• Most dairy foods such as milk, yogurt, sour cream
and cottage cheese have freshness dates on their
cartons for appropriate length of storage. Store these
foods in the original carton and refrigerate
immediately after purchasing and after each use.

CARE AND CLEANING
Removing Odors From
Energy Saving Tips
• Avoid overcrowding refrigerator shelves. This reduces
air circulation around food and causes refrigerator to
run longer.
Refrigerator
WARNING
To avoid electrical shock which can cause severe
personal injury or death, disconnect power to
refrigerator before cleaning. After cleaning,
reconnect power.
• Avoid adding too much warm food to refrigerator at
one time. This overloads compartments and slows
rate of cooling.
• Do not use aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper
toweling as shelf liners. This decreases air flow and
causes refrigerator to run less efficiently.
1. Remove all food and turn the refrigerator OFF.
2. Disconnect power to the refrigerator.
• A freezer that is two-thirds full runs most efficiently.
3. Clean the walls, floor, ceiling of cabinet interior,
drawers, shelves and gaskets according to the
instructions (see page 26).
• Locate refrigerator in coolest part of room. Avoid
areas of direct sunlight, or near heating ducts,
registers or other heat producing appliances. If this is
not possible, isolate exterior by using a section of
cabinet or an added layer of insulation.
4. Dilute mild detergent and brush solution into
crevices using a plastic bristle brush. Let stand for
five minutes. Rinse surfaces with warm water. Dry
surfaces with a soft, clean cloth.
• Clean door gaskets every three months according to
cleaning instructions. This will assure that door seals
properly and refrigerator runs efficiently.
5. Wash and dry all bottles, containers and jars.
Discard spoiled or expired items.
• Take time to organize items in refrigerator to reduce
time that door is open.
6. Wrap or store odor-causing foods in tightly sealed
containers to prevent recurring odors.
• Be sure your doors are closing securely by leveling
refrigerator as instructed in your installation
instructions.
7. Reconnect power to refrigerator and return food to
refrigerator.
8. Allow the refrigerator to cool.
• Clean condenser coils as indicated in the cleaning
instructions every three months. This will increase
energy efficiency and cooling performance.
9. After 24 hours, check if odor has been eliminated.
If odor is still present:
1. Remove drawers and place on top shelf of
refrigerator.
2. Pack refrigerator and freezer sections – including
doors – with crumpled sheets of black and white
newspaper.
3. Place charcoal briquettes randomly on crumpled
newspaper in both freezer and refrigerator
compartments.
4. Close doors and let stand 24 to 48 hours.

OPERATING SOUNDS
Improvements in refrigeration design may produce sounds in your new refrigerator that are different or were not
present in an older model. These improvements were made to create a refrigerator that is better at preserving food,
is more energy efficient, and is quieter overall. Because new units run quieter, sounds may be detected that were
present in older units, but were masked by higher sound levels. Many of these sounds are normal. Please note that
the surfaces adjacent to a refrigerator, such as hard walls, floors and cabinetry may make these sounds seem even
louder. The following are some of the normal sounds that may be noticed in a new refrigerator.
