REFRIGERATOR CARE

Cleaning

Explosion Hazard
Risk of Fire or Explosion. Flammable Refrigerant Used. Do Not Use Mechanical Devices to Defrost Refrigerator. Do Not Puncture Refrigerant Tubing.

Both the refrigerator and freezer sections defrost automatically.
However, clean both sections about once a month to avoid odor buildup. Wipe up spills immediately.

• Because air circulates between all sections, any odors formed in one section will transfer to the other. You must thoroughly clean all sections to eliminate odors. To avoid odor transfer and drying out of food, wrap or cover foods tightly.
• Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners such as window sprays, scouring cleansers, flammable fluids, muriatic acid, cleaning waxes, concentrated detergents, bleaches or cleansers containing petroleum products on doors and cabinet, plastic parts, interior and door liners or gaskets. Do not use paper towels, scouring pads, or other harsh cleaning tools.
• For stainless steel models, stainless steel is corrosion resistant and not corrosion-proof. To help avoid corrosion of your stainless steel, keep your surfaces clean by using the following cleaning instructions.

Cleaning the Touch Screen Display on the Dispenser Panel (on some models):

1. Make sure the refrigerator is unplugged or the power is disconnected before wiping the screen to avoid unintentionally changing the settings.
2. Mix a solution of mild detergent in warm water. Dampen a soft, lint-free cloth with the solution and gently wipe the screen.
   NOTE: Do not spray or wipe liquids directly onto the screen or over-saturate the cloth.
3. Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.

Cleaning the Interior:

Refrigerator shelves with under-shelf, LED lighting are not dishwasher safe.

1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
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. Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.

Cleaning the Exterior:

Damage to smooth finish due to improper use of cleaning products or using non-recommended cleaning products is not covered under the warranty. Sharp or blunt instruments will mar the finish.

1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Using a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water, wash, rinse, and thoroughly dry stainless steel and painted metal exteriors.
   To keep your stainless steel refrigerator looking like new and to remove minor scuffs or marks, it is suggested that you use the manufacturer's approved stainless steel cleaner and polish. This cleaner is for stainless steel parts only. Refer to the Quick Start Guide for ordering information.
   NOTE: When cleaning stainless steel, always wipe in the direction of the grain to avoid cross-grain scratching.
   Do not allow the stainless steel cleaner and polish to come into contact with any plastic parts such as the trim pieces, dispenser covers, or door gaskets. If unintentional contact does occur, clean plastic part with a sponge and mild detergent in warm water. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
3. Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.

Style 1: Smooth Door/Painted Metal

DO USE	DO NOT USE
Soft, clean cloth	Abrasive cloths Paper towels or newsprint Steel-wool pads
Warm, soapy water with a mild detergent	Abrasive powders or liquids Window sprays Ammonia Acidic or vinegar-based cleaners Oven cleaners Flammable fluids

NOTE: Paper towels scratch and may dull the clear coat of the painted door. To avoid possible damage, use only soft, clean cloths to polish and wipe the door.

Style 2: Stainless Steel

DO USE	DO NOT USE
Soft, clean cloth	Abrasive cloths Paper towels or newsprint Steel-wool pads
Warm, soapy water with a mild detergent	Abrasive powders or liquids Ammonia Citrus-based cleaners Acidic or vinegar-based cleaners Oven cleaners
For heavy soil, use only a manufacturer's approved stainless steel cleaner and polish	Abrasive powders or liquids Ammonia Citrus-based cleaners Acidic or vinegar-based cleaners Oven cleaners Abrasive cloths Paper towels or newsprint Steel-wool pads

NOTES:

• If unintentional contact does occur, clean plastic part with a sponge and mild detergent in warm water. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
• Avoid exposing stainless steel appliances to caustic or corrosive elements such as high-salt, high-moisture, or highhumidity environments. Damage due to exposure to these elements is not covered under the warranty.
• Just because a cleaner is a liquid does not mean it is nonabrasive. Many liquid cleansers formulated to be gentle on tile and smooth surfaces still damage stainless steel.
• When cleaning stainless steel, always wipe in the direction of the grain to avoid cross-grain scratching.
• Citric acid permanently discolors stainless steel. To avoid damaging the finish of your stainless steel refrigerator:

Do not allow these substances to remain on the finish:

• Mustard
• Tomato juice
• Marinara sauce

Condenser Cleaning


Explosion Hazard
Risk of Fire or Explosion due to Puncture of Refrigerant Tubing; Follow Handling Instructions Carefully. Flammable Refrigerant Used.

Refrigerator Shelves

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.
The shelves in your refrigerator are adjustable to match your individual storage needs.
Storing similar food items together in your refrigerator and adjusting the shelves to fit different heights of items will make finding the exact item you want easier. It will also reduce the amount of time the refrigerator door is open, and save energy

Glass Shelves
To remove a shelf:

1. Remove items from the shelf.
2. Slide the shelf straight out to the stop.
3. Depending on your model, lift the back or front of the shelf past the stop. Pull the shelf out the rest of the way.

To replace a shelf:

1. Slide the back of the shelf into the track in the wall of the cabinet.
2. Guide the front of the shelf into the shelf track. Be sure to slide the shelf in all the way.
   

Shelves with Shelf Frames
To remove and replace a shelf/shelf frame:

1. Remove the shelf/frame by tilting it up at the front and lifting it out of the shelf supports.
2. Replace the shelf/frame by guiding the rear shelf hooks into the shelf supports. Tilt the front of the shelf up until rear shelf hooks drop into the shelf supports.
3. Lower the front of the shelf and make sure that the shelf is in position.
   

Shelves with Under-Shelf Lighting (on some models)
By moving LED lighting to a new spot under the shelves, this leading-edge technology improves interior refrigerator lighting and aids in locating storage items.

• For models with the shelf frames, the hooks on the rear of the shelf must be fully engaged in the shelf supports to maintain proper electrical flow.
• No more than two shelves with under-shelf lighting may be used in the refrigerator at one time.

Shelves with Shelf Mounts

NOTE: If the manufacturer wants to limit the use of the appliance to less than the above, this has to be clearly stated in the instructions.
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: This refrigerator is intended for use in a location where the temperature ranges from a minimum of 55°F (13°C) to a maximum of 110°F (43°C). The preferred room temperature range for optimum performance, which reduces electricity usage and provides superior cooling, is between 60°F (15°C) and 90°F (32°C). It is recommended that you do not install the refrigerator near a heat source, such as an oven or radiator.

Electrical Requirements

Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet. Do not remove ground prong. Do not use an adapter. Do not use an extension cord. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

Before you move your refrigerator into its final location, it is important to make sure you have the proper electrical connection.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified person. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either the plug or connector end.

Recommended Grounding Method
A 115 V, 60 Hz, AC-only 15 A or 20 A fused, grounded electrical supply is required. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only your refrigerator and approved accessories be provided. Use an outlet that cannot be turned off by a switch. Do not use an extension cord.

If this product is connected to a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) protected outlet, nuisance tripping of the power supply may occur, resulting in loss of cooling. Food quality and flavor may be affected. If nuisance tripping has occurred, and if the condition of the food appears poor, dispose of the food.
NOTE: Before performing any type of installation or cleaning, or removing a light bulb, turn cooling off or turn the control (Thermostat, Refrigerator or Freezer Control depending on the model) to Off. On models with a digital temperature control, press the minus sign touch pads repeatedly until a dash (-) appears in both the freezer and refrigerator displays. Disconnect the refrigerator from the electrical source. When you are finished, reconnect the refrigerator to the electrical source and turn cooling on or reset the control (Thermostat, Refrigerator or Freezer Control depending on the model) to the desired setting. See the "Quick Start Guide".

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:

• Flat-blade screwdriver
• 7/16" and 1/2" Open-end or two adjustable wrenches
• 1/4" Nut driver
• 1/4" Drill bit
• Cordless drill

• Connect to potable water supply only Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system. Systems certified for cyst reduction may be used on disinfected waters that may contain filterable cysts.
• 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 or PEX tubing and check for leaks. Install copper or PEX 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.
NOTE: If the water pressure is less than what is required, the flow of water from the water dispenser could decrease or ice cubes could be hollow or irregular shaped.

Reverse Osmosis Water Supply

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. The tank capacity could be too small to keep up with the requirements of the refrigerator.
  NOTE: Faucet-mounted reverse osmosis systems are not recommended.
• 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.

• Plumbing shall be installed in accordance with the International Plumbing Code and any local codes and ordinances.
• The gray water tubing on the back of the refrigerator (which is used to connect to the household water line) is a PEX (crosslinked polyethylene) tube. Copper and PEX tubing connections from the household water line to the refrigerator are acceptable, and will help avoid off-taste or odor in your ice or water. Check for leaks. If PEX tubing is used instead of copper, we recommend the following part numbers: W10505928RP (7 ft [2.14 m] jacketed PEX), 8212547RP (5 ft [1.52 m] PEX), or W10267701RP (25 ft [7.62 m] PEX).
• Install tubing only in areas where temperatures will remain above freezing.
• Connect to a potable water supply only.
  Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system. Systems certified for cyst reduction may be used on disinfected waters that may contain filterable cysts.

Tools Needed:
Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation.

• Flat-blade screwdriver

Your refrigerator's accessory packet includes a Produce Preserver, which should be installed prior to use. On some models, the Produce Preserver is already installed at the factory. To order a replacement produce preserver, use part number W10346771.
The Produce Preserver absorbs ethylene, allowing the ripening process of many produce items to slow down. As a result, certain produce items will stay fresh longer.
Ethylene production and sensitivity varies depending on the type of fruit or vegetable. To preserve freshness, it is best to separate produce with sensitivity to ethylene from fruits that produce moderate to high amounts of ethylene.

	Sensitivity to Ethylene	Ethylene Production
Apples	High	Very High
Asparagus	Medium	Very Low
Berries	Low	Low
Broccoli	High	Very Low
Cantaloupe	Medium	High
Carrots	Low	Very Low
Citrus Fruit	Medium	Very Low
Grapes	Low	Very Low
Lettuce	High	Very Low
Pears	High	Very High
Spinach	High	Very Low

REFRIGERATOR FEATURES

Crisper Humidity Control (on some models)

You can control the amount of humidity in the moisture-sealed crisper. Depending on your model, adjust the control to any setting between Fruit and Vegetables or Low and High.

Fruit/Low (open):
Move control to allow moist air out of the crisper for best storage of fruits and vegetables with skins.

• Fruit: Wash, let dry and store in refrigerator in plastic bag or crisper. Do not wash or hull berries until they are ready to use. Sort and keep berries in original container in crisper, or store in a loosely closed paper bag on a refrigerator shelf.
• Vegetables with skins: Place in plastic bags or plastic container and store in crisper.

Vegetables/High (closed):
Move control to keep moist air in the crisper for best storage of fresh, leafy vegetables.

• Leafy vegetables: Wash in cold water, drain and trim or tear off bruised and discolored areas. Place in plastic bag or plastic container and store in crisper.

Water and Ice Dispensers (on some models)

For additional information on how to use your water and ice dispensers, see the online "Dispensing Guide."

• After connecting the refrigerator to a water source or replacing the water filter, 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 gallon (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. 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.
• The dispenser will dispense either water or ice.
• The dispensing system will not operate when the refrigerator door is open.
• On some models, the display screen on the dispenser control panel will turn off automatically and enter "sleep" mode when the control buttons and dispenser levers have not been used for 2 minutes or more. While in "sleep" mode, the first press of a control button will only reactivate the display screen without changing any settings. After reactivation, changes to any settings can then be made. If no changes are made within 2 minutes, the display will re-enter "sleep" mode.

Flush the Water System
Air in the water dispensing system can cause the water dispenser to drip. After connecting the refrigerator to a water source or replacing the water filter, flush the water system.
Flushing the water dispensing system forces air from the water line and filter and prepares the water filter for use. Additional flushing may be required in some households.
NOTE: As air is cleared from the system, water may spurt out of the dispenser.

1. Using a sturdy container, depress and hold the water dispenser paddle for 5 seconds.
2. Release the dispenser paddle for 5 seconds. Repeat steps 1 and 2 until water begins to flow.
3. Once water begins to flow, continue depressing and releasing the dispenser pad (5 seconds on, 5 seconds off) until a total of 3 gallon (12 L) has been dispensed.

The Water Dispenser

Dispense at least 1 quart (1 L) of water every week to maintain a fresh supply.
If the flow of water from the dispenser decreases, it could be caused by low water pressure.

• With the water filter removed, dispense 1 cup (237 mL) of water. If 1 cup of water is dispensed in 8 seconds or less, the water pressure to the refrigerator meets the minimum requirement.
• If it takes longer than 8 seconds to dispense 1 cup (237 mL) of water, the water pressure to the refrigerator is lower than recommended. See "Water Supply Requirements" and online "Troubleshooting" for more information.

Cleaning the Ice Dispenser Chute
Humidity causes ice to naturally clump together. Ice particles can build up until the ice dispenser chute becomes blocked.
If ice is not dispensed regularly, it may be necessary to empty the ice storage bin and clean the ice delivery chute, the ice storage bin and the area beneath the storage bin every 2 weeks.

• If necessary, remove the ice clogging the storage bin and delivery chute, using a plastic utensil.
• Clean the ice delivery chute and the bottom of the ice storage bin using a warm, damp cloth and dry thoroughly.

Ice Maker and Storage Bin

To avoid low ice production and poor quality ice, flush the water system before turning on the ice maker. See "Water and Ice Dispenser" for details.

• Following installation, allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Allow 2 to 3 days to fill the ice storage bin.
• For models with a water filter, after connecting the refrigerator to a water source or replacing the water filter, fill and discard three full containers of ice to prepare the water filter for use. 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.
• If the ice in the storage bin clumps together, break up ice using a plastic utensil and discard ice. Do not use anything sharp to break up the ice. This can cause damage to the ice bin and the dispenser mechanism.
• Do not store anything on top of the ice maker or in the ice storage bin.

Ice Production Rate
Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the first three batches of ice produced.
Allow 3 days to completely fill the ice storage bin. The ice maker should produce approximately 3 lbs (1.4 kg) (8 to 12 batches) of ice in a 24-hour period.
To increase ice production, lower the freezer and refrigerator temperature, or see "Control Panel Descriptions" in the Quick Start Guide for details. Wait 24 hours between adjustments.
