Recommended Tools

• Level
• Appliance Slider

This unit does not have rollers. Use an appliance slider or protective floor covering while moving the unit into place. Do not slide the unit with leveling legs fully extended.

Leveling

Rest all bottom feet firmly on a solid floor.
It is VERY IMPORTANT for your unit to be level in order to function properly. If you do not level the appliance during installation, the door may be misaligned and not close or seal properly, causing cooling, frost or moisture problems.

The cabinet is heavy. We recommend two people to level the cabinet.

INSTALLATION

To Level the Appliance

Insert the appliance slider under the unit. Place the unit into its location. Use the carpenter's level to make sure the unit is level from front to back and side to side. First adjust the front leveling legs, and then the rear if necessary. If you cannot access the rear leveling legs, slide the unit back out and adjust it. Slide the unit back into place and recheck with the level.
Repeat if necessary.

Setting the anti-tip bracket

Units are equipped with an anti-tip bracket. The anti-tip bracket is located on the lower front corner of the cabinet, on the lower hinge bracket. After fully leveling the unit, lower the anti-tip foot by turning it clockwise until is securely contacts the floor. Do not raise the cabinet.

Anti-tip Bracket

Install the anti-tip device according to the instructions in your Use & Care Manual. Failure to do so may result in injury.

Lower Hinge Adjustment for Leveling the Doors of the Matching Refrigerator / Freezer Pair

DOOR HANDLE INSTALLATION

Wear gloves and use extreme CAUTION when installing these handles. The rounded end of the handles may be sharp.

Door Handle Mounting Instructions

1. Remove the handle and any protective packaging from inside the appliance.
2. Position the handle end caps over the upper and lower pre-installed shoulder bolts (A) fastened into the door, ensuring the holes for the set screws are facing away from the hinge.
3. While holding the handle firmly against the door, fasten the upper and lower Allen set screws (B) with the supplied Allen wrench.

NOTE: Tighten and sub flush all set screws (Allen set screw should be seated just below the surface of the end cap) of the handle end cap. Tightly draw the end caps to the door with no gaps.

WATER SUPPLY CONNECTION (SOME MODELS)

To avoid electric shock, which can cause death or severe personal injury, disconnect the unit from electrical power source before connecting a water supply line to the appliance.

To Avoid Property Damage:

• Use Copper or Stainless Steel braided tubing for the water supply line. We do not recommend water supply tubing made of ¼" plastic. Plastic tubing greatly increases the potential for water leaks, and the manufacturer will not be responsible for any damage if plastic tubing is used for the supply line.
• DO NOT install water supply tubing in areas where temperatures fall below freezing.

NOTE: Ensure 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 Phillips^TM screwdriver
• Access to a household cold water line with water pressure between 30 and 100 psi.
• A braided stainless steel water supply line with integral fittings such as Smart Choice® 5304437642 or ¼" copper line with compression fittings. The line must be 6' or longer to allow appliance to be moved out for cleaning.
• A shutoff valve to connect the water supply line to your household water system. DO NOT use a self-piercing type shutoff valve.
• Do not reuse compression fitting or use thread seal tape.
• A compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) for connecting a copper water supply line to the water valve.

To Connect Water Supply Line To Water Inlet Valve

1. Disconnect the refrigerator from the electrical power source.
2. Place the end of the water supply line into a sink or bucket. Turn ON the water supply and flush the supply line until the water is clear. Turn OFF the water supply at the shutoff valve.
3. Remove the plastic cap from the water valve inlet and discard the cap.
4. If you use copper tubing - Slide the brass compression nut and then the ferrule (sleeve) onto the water supply line. Push the water supply line into the water valve inlet as far as it will go (¼"/6.4 mm). Slide the ferrule (sleeve) into the valve inlet and finger tighten the compression nut onto the valve. Tighten another half turn with a wrench; DO NOT overtighten. See Figure 1.
   
   
   If you use braided flexible stainless steel tubing - The nut is already assembled on the tubing. Slide the nut onto the valve inlet and finger tighten the nut onto valve. Tighten another half turn with a wrench; DO NOT overtighten. See Figure 2.

CONCERN	CAUSE	SOLUTION
APPLIANCE OPERATION
Appliance does not run.	Appliance is plugged into a tripped Ground Fault Interrupt (GFI). Appliance may not be plugged in or plug is loose. House fuse blown or tripped circuit breaker. Power outage.	Appliance must be plugged into a dedicated circuit with standard outlet. Contact a certified electrician to check. Ensure plug is tightly pushed into outlet. Check/replace fuse with a 15-amp time-delay fuse. Reset circuit breaker. Check house lights. Call the local electric company.
Appliance temperature is warmer than preferred.	The appliance temperature is set too high. Items are blocking the multi-port air flow system, which may affect cooling performance.	Set control to a colder setting until appliance temperature is satisfactory. Allow 24 hours for the temperature to stabilize. Make sure the items are not placed directly in front of the cold air exhaust ports.
Appliance is noisy or vibrates.	The cabinet is not level. Floor is weak.	Adjust the leveling feet. See Leveling in the INSTALLATION section.
Appliance runs too much or too long.	Room or outside weather is hot. Appliance has recently been disconnected for a period of time. Large amounts of warm or hot food have been stored recently. Door is opened too frequently or too long. Door may be slightly open. Temperature control is set too low. Gaskets are dirty, worn, cracked, or poorly fitted.	It's normal for the appliance to work longer under these conditions. It takes 24 hours for the appliance to cool down completely. Warm food will cause appliance to run more until the desired temperature is reached. Warm air entering the appliance causes it to run more. Open door less often. See DOOR PROBLEMS in TROUBLESHOOTING section. Turn control knob to a warmer setting. Allow several hours for the temperature to stabilize. Clean or change gasket. (See Care and Cleaning Tips in the CARE AND CLEANING section). Worn, cracked or poorly fitting gaskets should be replaced.

SOUND AND NOISE
Louder sound levels whenever appliance is on.	Modern appliances have increased storage capacity and more stable temperatures. They require heavy-duty compressors.	This is normal. When the surrounding noise level is low, you might hear the compressor running while it cools the interior.
Popping or cracking sound when compressor comes on. Bubbling or gurgling sound.	Metal parts undergo expansion and contraction, as in hot water pipes. Refrigerant (used to cool refrigerator) is circulating throughout the system.	This is normal. Sound will level off or disappear as appliance continues to run. This is normal.
Vibrating or rattling noise.	Appliance is not level. It rocks on the floor when it is moved slightly. Floor is uneven or weak. Appliance is touching the wall.	Level the appliance. Refer to Leveling in the INSTALLATION section. Ensure floor can adequately support the appliance. Level the appliance by putting wood or metal shims under part of the appliance. Re-level appliance or move appliance slightly. Refer to Leveling in the INSTALLATION section.
WATER / MOISTURE / FROST INSIDE APPLIANCE
Moisture forms on inside appliance walls.	Weather is hot and humid, which increases internal rate of frost buildup. Door is slightly open. Door is kept open too long.	This is normal. Look for food items on the shelves or in the door bins keeping the door from closing completely. Open the door less often.
ODOR IN APPLIANCE

Proper Disposal of your Appliance

Risk of child entrapment

Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned appliances are still dangerous – even if they will sit for "just a few days". If you are getting rid of your old appliance, please follow the instructions below to help prevent accidents.
We strongly encourage responsible appliance recycling/disposal methods. Check with your utility company or visit energystar.gov/products/recycle for more information on recycling your old appliance.

Before you throw away your old appliance

• Remove door.
• Leave shelves in place so children may not easily climb inside.
• Have refrigerant removed by a qualified service technician.

CFC/HCFC Disposal
Your old appliance may have a cooling system that used CFCs or HCFCs (chlorofluorocarbons or hydrochlorofluorocarbons). CFCs and HCFCs are believed to harm stratospheric ozone if released to the atmosphere. Other refrigerants may also cause harm to the environment if released to the atmosphere. If you are throwing away your old appliance, make sure the refrigerant is removed for proper disposal by a qualified technician. If you intentionally release refrigerant, you may be subject to fines and imprisonment under provisions of environmental legislation.

Follow these guidelines to ensure safety mechanisms in this appliance will operate properly.
