Important Safety Instructions  
Please Read All Instructions Before Using This Refrigerator.  
FORYOUR SAFETY  
PROPER DISPOSAL OFYOUR REFRIGERATOR OR  
FREEZER  
Risk of child entrapment  
Do not store or use gasoline, or other flammable liquids  
in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. Read pro-  
duct labels for warnings regarding flammability and  
other hazards.  
Child  
entrapment  
and  
suffocation are not problems of  
the past. Junked or abandoned  
refrigerators or freezers are still  
dangerous – even if they will sit  
for “just a few days.” If you are  
getting rid of your old  
refrigerator or freezer, please  
follow the instructions below to  
help prevent accidents.  
Do not operate the refrigerator in the presence of  
explosive fumes.  
Avoid contact with any moving parts of automatic ice  
maker.  
Remove all staples from the carton. Staples can cause  
severe cuts, and also destroy finishes if they come in  
contact with other appliances or furniture.  
CHILD SAFETY  
Destroy or recycle the carton, plastic bags, and any exterior  
wrapping material immediately after the refrigerator is  
unpacked.Children should NEVER use these items to play.  
Cartons covered with rugs, bedspreads, plastic sheets or  
stretch wrap may become airtight chambers, and can  
quickly cause suffocation.  
Before you throw away your old refrigerator/ freezer:  
Remove doors.  
Leave shelves in place so children may not easily climb  
inside.  
Have refrigerant removed by a qualified service  
technician.  
These Guidelines Must Be Followed To Ensure That Safety Mechanisms In This Refrigerator  
Will Operate Properly.  
ELECTRICAL INFORMATION  
IMPORTANT: Turning the refrigerator temperature  
control to “0” turns off the compressor and prevents  
your refrigerator from cooling, but does not disconnect  
the power to the light bulbs and other electrical  
components. To turn off power to your refrigerator  
you must unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.  
The refrigerator must be plugged into its own  
dedicated 115 Volt, 60 Hz., AC only electric outlet.  
The power cord of the appliance is equipped with a  
three-prong grounding plug for your protection against  
electrical shock hazards. It must be plugged directly  
into a properly grounded three-prong receptacle. The  
receptacle must be installed in accordance with local  
codes and ordinances. Consult a qualified electrician.  
Do not use an extension cord or adapter plug.  
If the power cord is damaged, it should be replaced by  
the manufacturer, service technician or a qualified person  
to prevent any risk.  
Never unplug the refrigerator by pulling on the power  
cord. Always grip the plug firmly, and pull straight out  
from the receptacle to prevent damaging power cord.  
Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning and before  
replacing a light bulb to avoid electrical shock.  
Performance may be affected if the voltage varies by  
10% or more.Operating the refrigerator with insufficient  
power can damage the compressor. Such damage is  
not covered under your warranty.  
Do not plug the unit into an outlet controlled by a wall  
switch or pull cord to prevent the refrigerator from being  
turned off accidentally.  
Avoid connecting refrigerator to a Ground Fault Interruptor  
(GFI) circuit.

Installation - Connecting To Water Supply  
To avoid electric shock, which can cause death or severe personal injury, disconnect the  
refrigerator from electrical power before connecting a water supply line to the refrigerator.  
To Avoid Property Damage:  
Copper tubing is recommended for the water supply line. Water supply tubing made of ¼” plastic is not  
recommended since it greatly increases the potential for water leaks. Manufacturer will not be  
responsible for any damage if plastic tubing is used for supply line.  
DO NOT install water supply tubing in areas where temperatures fall below freezing.  
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.  
IMPORTANT: Ensure that your water supply line connections comply with all local plumbing codes.  
Before Installing The Water Supply Line,You Will Need  
Basic Tools: adjustable wrench, flat-blade screwdriver, and PhillipsTM screwdriver  
Access to a household cold water line with water pressure between 20 and 100 psi.  
A water supply line made of ¼ inch (6.4 mm) OD, copper tubing. To determine the length of copper tubing needed,  
you will need to measure the distance from the ice maker inlet valve at the back of the refrigerator to your cold water  
pipe. Then add approximately 7 feet (2.1 meters), so the refrigerator can be moved out for cleaning (as shown).  
A shutoff valve to connect the water supply line to your household water system. DO NOT use a self-piercing type  
shutoff valve.  
A compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) for connecting the water supply line to the ice maker inlet valve.  
NOTE: Water line kit number 5303917950, available from your appliance dealer at additional cost, contains 25 feet  
(7.6 meters) of ¼ inch OD copper tubing, a saddle type shutoff valve (nonpiercing), (2) ¼ inch brass compression  
nuts, (2) ferrules/sleeves, and instructions for installing a water supply line.  
To Connect Water Supply Line To Inlet Valve  
1. Disconnect refrigerator from electric power source.  
2. Place end of water supply line into sink or bucket. Turn ON water supply  
and flush supply line until water is clear. Turn OFF water supply at shut  
off valve.  
3. Unscrew plastic cap from water valve inlet and discard cap.  
4. Slide brass compression nut, then ferrule (sleeve) onto water supply line,  
as shown.  
5. Push water supply line into water valve inlet as far as it will go (¼ inch).  
Slide ferrule(sleeve) into valve inlet and finger tighten compression nut  
onto valve. Tighten another half turn with a wrench; DO NOT over tighten.  
6. With steel clamp and screw, secure water supply line to rear panel of  
refrigerator as shown.  
7. Coil excess water supply line (about 2½ turns) behind refrigerator as shown  
andarrange coils so they do not vibrate or wear against any other surface.  
8. Turn ON water supply at shutoff valve and tighten any connections that  
leak.  
9. Reconnect refrigerator to electrical power source.  
10. To turn ice maker on, lower wire signal arm (see ice maker front cover for ON/  
OFF position of arm).  
IMPORTANT: It takes approximately 24 hours for the ice maker to begin producing ice. Air in new plumbing lines may  
cause ice maker to cycle two or three times before making a full tray of ice.New plumbing may cause ice to be discolored  
or have poor flavor. Discard ice made during the first 24 hours.

How the Water Dispenser Works  
The water tank, located inside the refrigerator door,  
automatically fills as water is dispensed. For proper  
dispenser operation, the recommended supply water  
pressure should fall between 20 psi and 100 psi.  
Dispensing Water  
To operate the water dispenser, press a drinking glass  
against the dispensing button. Hold the glass as far up as  
possible, ensuring that the water dispensing spout is inside  
the lip of the glass.  
Water pressure must not exceed  
100 lbs. Excessive pressure may  
cause water filter to malfunction.  
To stop dispensing water, pull the glass away from the  
dispensing button. For colder water, first add ice to your  
drinking glass.  
After the refrigerator is connected to the water supply, fill  
the water tank by drawing one glass of water. It may take  
about 1½ minutes after activating the dispenser button  
before water begins to fill this first glass. Continue flushing  
the system for 3 minutes to rid the tank and plumbing  
connections of any impurities.  
DripTray  
The drip tray located at the base of the dispenser catches  
small spills and allows them to evaporate. This tray is  
removable for easy cleaning.  
NOTE: Please do not pour excess water or ice into the  
drip tray. It does not have a drain.

Water Dispenser & Ice Service (continued)  
ICE MAKER  
If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker, it will provide a sufficient  
supply of ice for normal use. During the initial startup of your refrigerator,  
however, no ice will be produced during the first 24 hours of operation.  
Automatic ice makers are also optional accessories that may be installed in  
most models at any time. Call your local dealer for information.  
The ice maker produces 2 to 5 pounds of ice every 24 hours depending on usage  
conditions. Ice is produced at a rate of 8 cubes every 80 to 160 minutes.  
TurningYour Ice Maker On  
After the plumbing connections have been completed, the water supply valve  
must be opened. Place the ice container under the ice maker, pushing it as  
far back as possible. Lower the wire signal arm to its “down” or ON position.  
New plumbing connections may cause the first production of ice cubes to  
be discolored or have an odd flavor. These first cubes should be discarded  
until the cubes produced are free of discoloration and taste.  
Ice Maker  
TurningYour Ice Maker Off  
To stop the ice maker, lift the wire signal arm until it clicks and locks in the  
“up” or OFF position.The ice maker also turns off automatically when the ice  
container is full. If your model has an adjustable freezer shelf, place the  
shelf in the lower position, so that the wire signal arm will hit the ice when  
the container is full.  
IMPORTANT: Your ice maker is shipped with the wire signal arm in the ON position.To ensure proper function of  
your ice maker, hook up water supply immediately or turn ice maker OFF by lifting the wire signal arm until it  
clicks and locks in the UP position.  
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.  
Ice Maker Tips  
Ice cubes stored too long may develop an odd flavor. Empty the ice container and ensure that the wire signal  
arm is in its “down” or ON position. The ice maker will then produce more ice.  
Occasionally shake the ice container to keep ice separated.  
Keep the wire signal arm in its “up” or OFF position until the refrigerator is connected to the water supply or  
whenever the water supply is turned off.  
The following sounds are normal when the ice maker is operating:  
Motor running  
Ice loosening from tray  
Ice dropping into ice container  
Running water  
Water valve opening or closing  
NOTE: For more information on these operations, see the Normal Operating Sounds and Sights section.  
Do Not place the ice container in your dishwasher.  
Wash the ice container in warm water with mild detergent. Rinse well and dry.  
Stop the ice maker when cleaning the freezer and during vacations.  
If the ice maker will be turned off for a long period of time, turn the water supply valve to the closed position.

Water Dispenser & Ice Service (continued)  
PureSource TM * ICE AND WATER FILTER (some models)  
NOTE: If you purchased a refrigerator with a PureSource TM * Ice and Water filter, please read the following use  
and care information. This ice and water filter system filters water to your ice maker and water dispenser. It is  
located in the upper right back corner of the fresh food compartment.  
System Startup:  
Water supply does not need to be turned off, however, do not use ice and water dispenser while installing filter. The filter  
cartridge has already been installed in the filter housing at the factory. Refer to the How The Water Dispenser Works section to  
properly fill the system with water.  
Changing the Filter:  
Water conditions vary throughout the world, but changing the water filter every  
6 - 9 months normally will ensure the highest possible water quality. If the filter  
has been in a refrigerator that has not been in use for awhile (during moving for  
example), change the filter before reinstalling the refrigerator. The dispenser  
system will also operate without filtration (with filter cartridge removed).  
To change filter:  
It is not necessary to turn the water supply off to change the filter.  
1. Set ice maker wire signal arm to the OFF (up) position (See illustration  
on page 13). Turn dispenser lock to the locked position.  
2. Hold filter cup firmly, and unscrew towards left (Some water could  
leak out as you remove cup. This is normal.). Filter cartridge should come  
down with cup. If cartridge remains in housing, pull down gently, while  
twisting filter back and forth.  
3. Rinse out cup under running water.  
4. The large o-ring that seals the filter system sets in the o-ring groove  
down inside the cup. Should the o-ring fall out during filter cartridge  
replacement, simply place it back in the groove prior to screwing the cup  
back in place. If the o-ring becomes damaged, you will need to order one  
from the Consumer Assistance Center.  
5. Discard old filter cartridge.  
Order new filter cartridges through the  
dealer where you bought the refrigerator,  
contact the Customer Care Center at  
1-800-944-9044, or go to our web site at  
order some filter cartridges when you first  
install your refrigerator. Be sure to ask for  
the RG-100 PureSource™* replacement  
cartridge.  
6. Remove new filter cartridge from packaging and place in cup. The end  
with the small o-ring should be up, out of the cup.  
7. Screw cup, with filter, back onto housing. Do Not Use WrenchTo Reinstall  
Cup. Filter cartridge will self-align as cup is tightened. Be sure cup is  
completely tightened with PureSource™ logo facing outward. Do Not  
Tighten Past Stop.  
8. Set ice maker wire signal arm to the ON (down) position.  
9. Check for leaks. Open refrigerator door. Wipe any water droplets from the  
filter cup. Fill a glass with water. If there is a leak, unscrew filter cup, and  
reinsert the filter cartridge. Check placement of large O-ring. Reinstall  
filter cup, making certain it is tightened completely.  
10. To condition filter system and purge air from water line, fill a glass with  
water. Continue flushing the system for approximately 3 minutes to assure  
that the purest water possible is stored in the water tank.  
The PureSource™ * NGRG-  
2000 Ice and Water Filter  
System with the RG-100  
cartridge is tested and certified  
by NSF International, the  
nationally recognized and respected, not for  
profit, certification organization for public  
health safety.The PureSource™* system is  
tested and certified to ANSI/NSF Standard  
42. See performance data sheet for  
specifications. This system should not be  
used on water that is microbiologically  
unsafe or with water of unknown quality  
unless the water has been adequately  
disinfected before or after traveling through  
the filtration system.  
Filter Replacement Reminder Stickers  
There is a set of Reminder Stickers included in the envelope that the Use &  
Care Guide came in. Choose a dated sticker that indicates 6 - 9 months  
(depending on your water quality and usage) from the date of installation.  
Place the sticker on the front of the filter cup to remind you when it is time to  
change the filter.

Food Storage & Energy Saving Ideas  
FOOD STORAGE IDEAS  
Fresh Food Storage  
The fresh food compartment should be kept between 34° F and 40° F with an optimum temperature of 37° F.  
Avoid overcrowding the refrigerator shelves.This reduces the circulation of air around the food and results in uneven  
cooling.  
Fruits and Vegetables  
Storage in the crisper drawers traps moisture to help preserve the fruit and vegetable quality for longer time periods.  
Meat  
Raw meat and poultry should be wrapped securely so leakage and contamination of other foods or surfaces does  
not occur.  
Frozen Food Storage  
The freezer compartment should be kept at 0° F or lower.  
A freezer operates most efficiently when it is at least 2/3 full.  
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 seal them tightly. Trapped air can cause food to dry out,  
change color, and develop an off-flavor (freezer burn).  
Wrap fresh meats and poultry with suitable freezer wrap prior to freezing.  
Do not refreeze meat that has completely thawed.  
Loading the Freezer  
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.  
Leave a space between the packages, so cold air can circulate freely, allowing food to freeze as quickly as possible.  
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.  
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 heat-producing 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 that the doors close tightly.  
Refer to this Use & Care Manual for the suggested temperature control  
settings.  
Do not overcrowd the refrigerator or block cold air vents.Doing so causes  
the refrigerator to run longer and use more energy.  
Cover foods and wipe containers dry before placing them in the  
refrigerator. This cuts down on moisture build-up inside the unit.  
Organize the refrigerator to reduce door openings. Remove as many  
items as needed at one time and close the door as soon as possible.

C. Defrost Heater  
During defrost cycles, water dripping onto the defrost  
heater may cause a hissing or sizzling sound. After  
defrosting, a popping sound may occur.  
NOTE: Rigid foam insulation is very energy efficient,  
but is not a sound insulator.  
IMPORTANT: During the automatic defrost cycle, you  
may notice a red glow in the vents on the back wall of  
your freezer compartment. This is normal during the  
defrost cycle.  
D. Automatic Ice Maker  
If your refrigerator is equipped with an automatic ice  
maker, you will hear ice cubes falling into the ice bin.  
E. Cold Control & Defrost Timer or Automatic  
Defrost Control

when turning the refrigerator on and off.The timer also  
produces sounds similar to an electric clock.

refrigerator as shown in the drawing at the left, you  
have a condenser fan.You may hear air being forced  
through the condenser by the condenser fan.

Modern, high-efficiency compressors operate much  
faster than older models. The compressor may have a  
high-pitched hum or pulsating sound.  
H. Water Valve  
If your refrigerator is equipped with an automatic ice  
maker, you will hear a buzzing sound as the water valve  
opens to fill the ice maker during each cycle.  
I. Drain Pan (Nonremovable)  
You may hear water running into the drain pan during  
the defrost cycle.  
J. Condenser  
May create minimal sounds from forced air.

Care & 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 any type of 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 electrical  
power cord from the wall outlet before cleaning.  
When moving the refrigerator, pull straight out. Do not shift the refrigerator from side to side as this  
may tear or gouge the floor covering. If the refrigerator has an automatic ice maker, be careful not to  
move the refrigerator beyond the plumbing connections.  
Damp objects stick to cold metal surfaces. Do not touch refrigerated surfaces with wet or damp hands.  
Never use CHLORIDE to clean stainless steel.  
NOTES:  
Turning the refrigerator temperature control to “0” turns off the compressor, but does not disconnect electrical  
power to the light bulb or other electrical components. To turn off power to your refrigerator, you must unplug  
the power cord from the wall outlet.  
Do not use razor blades or other sharp instruments which can scratch the appliance surface when removing  
adhesive labels. Any glue left from tape or labels can be removed with a mixture of warm water and mild  
detergent, or, touch the glue residue with the sticky side of tape you have already removed. Do not remove the  
serial plate.
