Proper Disposal of Your Old Refrigerator
WARNING
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.” 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

Location Requirements
IMPORTANT: This refrigerator is designed for indoor, household
use only.
This appliance is intended to be used in household and similar
applications such as:
Staff kitchen areas in shops, ofces and other working
environments.
Farm houses and by clients in hotels, motels and other
residential type environments.
Bed and breakfast type environments.
Catering and similar non-retail applications.
To ensure proper ventilation for your refrigerator, allow for ¹⁄ " 2
(1.25 cm) of space on each side and at the top. Allow for 1"
(2.54 cm) of 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 xed wall,
leave 2 ¹⁄ " (6.3 cm) minimum on the hinge side (some models 2
require more) to allow for 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.
2 " (6.3 cm)¹⁄2
¹⁄2 " (1.25 cm)
Electrical Requirements
Before you move your refrigerator into its nal 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 qualied 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 Volt, 60 Hz, AC only 15 or 20 A 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 the refrigerator to OFF. Depending
on your model, either turn the freezer control to the word OFF,
or press the Minus sign touch pads repeatedly until a dash (–)
appears in both the Freezer and Refrigerator displays as shown.
Disconnect the refrigerator from the electrical source. When you
are nished, reconnect the refrigerator to the electrical source
and reset the temperature controls to the desired setting. See
“Using the Controls.”
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 ¹⁄ " Nut driver4
7⁄ " and ¹⁄ " Open-end or two 16
adjustable wrenches
¹⁄ " Drill bit4
Cordless drill
IMPORTANT:
Connect to a potable water supply only.
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.
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.
WARNING
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.
5
All installations must meet local plumbing code requirements.
Do not use a piercing-type or ³⁄ " (4.76 mm) saddle valve 16
which reduces water ow 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 lters, the disposable water lter
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, qualied 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 ltration 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 lter in the reverse
osmosis system is blocked. Replace the lter if necessary.
Allow the storage tank on the reverse osmosis system to rell
after heavy usage.
If your refrigerator has a water lter, it may further reduce
the water pressure when used in conjunction with a reverse
osmosis system. Remove the water lter. See “Water
Filtration System.”
If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed,
qualied plumber.
Connect the Water Supply
Read all directions before you begin.
IMPORTANT:
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
(cross-linked 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.
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 valve.
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⁄ " to 1¹⁄ " (12.7 mm to 31.8 mm) vertical cold water 2 4
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 lower right rear of the refrigerator
to the water pipe. Add 7 ft (2.1 m) to allow for cleaning. Use
¹⁄ " (6.35 mm) O.D. (outside diameter) copper tubing. Be sure 4
both ends of copper tubing are cut square.
5. Using a cordless drill, drill a ¹⁄ " hole in the cold water pipe 4
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⁄ " drilled hole 4
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.

To manually turn the ice maker OFF, lift the wire shutoff arm to
the OFF (arm up) position and listen for the click.
NOTE: Your ice maker has an automatic shutoff. As ice is made,
the ice cubes will ll the ice storage bin and the ice cubes will
raise the wire shutoff arm to the OFF (arm up) position. Do not
force the wire shutoff arm up or down.
NOTE: Turn off the ice maker before removing the ice storage
bin to serve ice or to clean the bin. This will keep the ice
cubes from dropping out of the ice maker and into the freezer
compartment. After replacing the ice storage bin, turn on the ice
maker.
Ice Production Rate
The ice maker should produce a complete batch of ice
approximately every 3 hours.
To increase ice production, lower the freezer and refrigerator
temperature. See “Using the Controls.” Wait 24 hours
between adjustments.
Remember
Allow 24 hours to produce the rst batch of ice. Allow 3 days
to completely ll the ice storage bin. Discard the rst 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.
15
Do not store anything on top of the ice maker or in the ice
storage bin.
Water Dispenser
IMPORTANT:
After connecting the refrigerator to a water source or
replacing the water lter, ush the water system. Use a
sturdy container to depress and hold the water dispenser
lever for 5 seconds, then release it for 5 seconds. Repeat
until water begins to ow. Once water begins to ow,
continue depressing and releasing the dispenser lever (5
seconds on, 5 seconds off) until a total of 4 gal. (15 L) has
been dispensed. This will ush air from the lter and water
dispensing system, and prepare the water lter for use.
Additional ushing 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 ooding. To
continue dispensing, press the dispenser button again.
Allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to cool down and chill
water. Dispense enough water every week to maintain a fresh
supply.
Dispensing Water
1. Hold a container under the dispenser while pressing the
button.
2. Release the button to stop dispensing.
Water Filtration System
The water lter is located in the upper right-hand corner of the
refrigerator compartment.
IMPORTANT: The disposable water lter should be replaced at
least every 6 months. If the water ow to the water dispenser or
ice maker decreases noticeably before 6 months have passed,
replace the water lter more often.
Replacing the Water Filter
To purchase replacement water lters, model UKF8001AXX-750
or model UKF8001AXX-200, contact your dealer or call
1-800-253-1301 1-800-807-6777 U.S.A. or Canada.
IMPORTANT: Air trapped in the water system may cause water
and lter to eject. Always dispense water for at least 2 minutes
before removing the lter or blue bypass cap.
1. Turn lter counterclockwise to remove.
2. Remove sealing label from replacement lter and insert the
lter end into the lter head.

installed. Your water will not be ltered. If this option is chosen,
replace the lter with the blue bypass cap.
REFRIGERATOR CARE
Cleaning
Both the refrigerator and freezer sections defrost automatically.
However, clean both sections about once a month to avoid
buildup of odors. Wipe up spills immediately.
IMPORTANT:
Because air circulates between both sections, any odors
formed in one section will transfer to the other. You must
thoroughly clean both sections to eliminate odors. To avoid
odor transfer and drying out of food, wrap or cover foods
tightly.
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.
To Clean Your Refrigerator:
NOTE: Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners such as window
sprays, scouring cleansers, ammable uids, muriatic acid,
cleaning waxes, concentrated detergents, bleaches or cleansers
containing petroleum products on exterior surfaces (doors and
cabinet), plastic parts, interior and door liners or gaskets. Do not
use paper towels, scouring pads, or other harsh cleaning tools.
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.
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.
WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Use non-ammable cleaner.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or re.
16
3. Clean the exterior surfaces.
Painted metal: Wash painted metal exteriors with a clean,
soft cloth or sponge and a mild detergent in warm water.
Rinse surfaces with clean, warm water and dry immediately
to avoid water spots.
Stainless steel: Wash stainless steel surfaces with a clean,
soft cloth or sponge and a mild detergent in warm water.
Rinse surfaces with clean, warm water and dry immediately
to avoid water spots.
NOTE: When cleaning stainless steel, always wipe in the
direction of the grain to avoid cross-grain scratching.
4. There is no need for routine condenser cleaning in normal
home operating environments. If the environment is
particularly greasy or dusty, or there is signicant pet trafc
in the home, the condenser should be cleaned every 2 to 3
months to ensure maximum efciency.
If you need to clean the condenser:
Remove the base grille.

28
Spécications de l’alimentation en eau
Rassembler les outils et pièces nécessaires avant d’entreprendre
l’installation. Lire et observer les instructions fournies avec
chacun des outils de la liste ci-dessous.
OUTILS REQUIS:
Tournevis à lame plate Tourne-écrou de ¹⁄ po4
Clés plates de 7⁄ po et ½po 16
ou deux clés à molette
Foret de ¹⁄ po4
Perceuse sans l
IMPORTANT:
Raccorder à la canalisation d’arrivée d’eau potable
uniquement.
Toutes les installations doivent être conformes aux exigences
des codes locaux de plomberie.
Ne pas employer de robinet d’arrêt à étrier de ³⁄ po (4,76mm) 16
ou de type à percer – ils réduisent le débit d’eau ets’obstruent
plus facilement.
Utiliser un tube en cuivre et vérier qu’il n’y a pas de
fuites. Installer seulement des tuyaux en cuivre là où les
températures resteront au-dessus du point de congélation.
Pour les modèles avec ltre à eau, le ltre à eau jetable doit
être remplacé au moins tous les 6 mois.
Pression d’eau
Une alimentation en eau froide avec une pression entre 35 et
120lb/po² (241 à 827kPa) est nécessaire pour faire fonctionner
le distributeur d’eau et la machine à glaçons. Si vous avez des
questions au sujet de la pression de votre eau, faire appel à un
plombier qualié agréé.
Alimentation en eau par osmose inverse
IMPORTANT: La pression de l’alimentation en eau entre
le système d’osmose inverse et la valve d’arrivée d’eau du
réfrigérateur doit être entre 30 et 120lb/po² (207-827kPa).
Si un système de ltration de l’eau par osmose inverse est
raccordé à votre alimentation en eau froide, la pression de l’eau au
système doit être d’un minimum de 40 à 60lb/po² (276 à 414kPa).
Si la pression d’eau au système de ltration par osmose inverse
est inférieure à 40 - 60lb/po² (276 - 414kPa):
Vérier que le ltre à sédiment dans le système à osmose
inverse n’est pas obstrué. Remplacer le ltre si nécessaire.
Laisser le réservoir du système d’osmose inverse se remplir
après une utilisation intense.
Si votre réfrigérateur comporte un ltre à eau, celui-ci peut
réduire la pression de l’eau lorsqu’il est utilisé avec un
système d’osmose inverse. Enlever le ltre à eau. Voir la
section “Système de ltration de l’eau”.
Si vous avez des questions au sujet de la pression de votre eau,
faire appel à un plombier qualié agréé.
Raccordement à la canalisation d’eau
Lire toutes les instructions avant de commencer.
IMPORTANT:
Réaliser l’installation de plomberie conformément aux
prescriptions du International Plumbing Code et des normes
et codes locaux en vigueur.
Le tuyau d’eau gris situé à l’arrière du réfrigérateur (et utilisé
pour raccorder l’appareil à la canalisation d’eau du domicile)
est un tuyau en polyéthylène réticulé. Il est possible d’utiliser
des raccords en cuivre ou en polyéthylène réticulé pour
le raccordement de la canalisation d’eau du domicile au
réfrigérateur – ils contribuent à éviter que l’eau ait un goût
ouune odeur désagréable. Vérier qu’il n’y a pas de fuites.
Si l’on utilise un tuyau en polyéthylène réticulé au lieu d’un
tuyau de cuivre, nous recommandons les numéros de pièce
suivants:
W10505928RP (PEX chemisé de 7pi [2,14m]),
8212547RP (PEX de 5pi [1,52m]) ou
W10267701RP (PEX de 25pi [7,62m]).
Installer des tuyaux seulement là où les températures
resteront au-dessus du point de congélation.
Si l’on met en marche le réfrigérateur avant que la
canalisation d’eau ne soit raccordée, éteindre la machine
à glaçons pour éviter tout bruit excessif ou éviter
d’endommager le robinet d’eau.
Raccordement à la canalisation d’eau
1. Débrancher le réfrigérateur ou déconnecter la source de
courant électrique.
2. FERMER le robinet principal d’alimentation en eau.
OUVRIRle robinet le plus proche pendant une période
sufsante pour purger toute l’eau de la canalisation.
3. Identier une canalisation d’eau froide verticale de ¹⁄ po à 2
1¹⁄ po (12,7cm à 31,8cm) à proximité du réfrigérateur. 4
IMPORTANT:
Vérier qu’il s’agit d’une canalisation d’eau froide.
Un conduit horizontal fonctionnera, mais on doit
observer le procédé suivant: Percer par le dessus de
la canalisation et non pas par le dessous. Ainsi, l’eau
ne risquera pas d’arroser la perceuse. Ceci empêche
également les sédiments qu’on trouve normalement dans
l’eau de s’accumuler dans le robinet d’arrêt.
4. Déterminer la longueur de tube de cuivre à utiliser.
Mesurerdepuis le point de connexion (angle inférieur arrière
droit du réfrigérateur) et la canalisation d’eau. Ajouter7pi
(2,1m) pour permettre les opérations de nettoyage.
Utiliserunconduit de cuivre exible de ¹⁄ po (6,35mm) 4
de diamètre extérieur. Veiller à ce que le tube soit coupé
