Warranty Information
Offers a one-year full warranty, a second through fifth-year full warranty on the liner, and a sixth through tenth-year limited warranty on the sealed system.
Setting the Controls
Initially set both Refrigerator and Freezer controls to a setting between 2 and 3. Allow several hours for the unit to cool before adding food. Adjust controls as needed, waiting 24 hours between adjustments for the temperature to stabilize.
Dispenser/Ice Maker Tips
For ice dispensers, ensure the ice bin is properly installed and the freezer door is closed. For water dispensers, flush the system with 3-4 quarts of water initially and weekly if not used regularly. Replace the water filter cartridge every 6-12 months or when off-tastes return.
Cleaning
Clean the interior and exterior surfaces monthly with mild detergent and warm water. Wax painted surfaces twice a year. Clean condenser coils when dusty or dirty.
Power Interruptions
If power is out for less than 24 hours, keep doors closed. For longer outages, consider a frozen food locker, dry ice, or using perishable food.
Troubleshooting and error codes
| PROBLEM | CAUSE | SOLUTION |
|---|---|---|

| Water in the defrost pan | This is normal in hot, muggy weather. | Make sure the pan is level so it does not overflow. |
| Dispensers will not operate | Refer to "Dispenser/ice maker operating tips" on page 17. | Follow tips on page 17. |
| Ice maker will not operate | Is the freezer cold enough to make ice? It could take overnight for the freezer to reach the proper temperature. Is the signal arm in the ON (down) position? Is the water valve turned on? Is water getting to the water valve? Check water line for leaks. Is water filter valve in the ON (up) position? Does filter cartridge need to be replaced? | Wait for proper temperature. Check signal arm, water valve, water line, filter valve, and cartridge. See pages 14 & 19. |
