• Reverse the above procedure. Turn the ice maker oil by lowering the sensor arm.

• After freezer section reaches approximately 0° F (-18° C), ice

maker fills with water and begins operating. You will have a complete

harvest of ice approximately every three hours.

• Allow approximately 24 hoLIrS after installation to recewe hrst harvest of me.

• Dmcard ice created within first 12 hours of operation to assure system is flushed of mlpurlties.

• Stop ice production by raining ice maker arm until click is heard.

• Ice maker will remain m the off position until arm is pushed down.

• The first one or two batches wHI probably contain undersEed and HTegular cubes because of all m the supply hne.

• When the ice cubes are ejected it is nornlal for several cubes to be joined together at the ends. They can easily be broken apart. The ice maker will continue to make ice until the supply of ice cubes raises the sensor arm, shutting the ice maker off.

• Certain sounds may accompany the various cycles of the ice maker. The motor may have a shght hun], the cubes will rattle as they fall into all empty storage pan and the water valve may click or "'buzz" occasionally.

To avoid personal injury or property damage, obselve the following:

Do not place fingers or hands on the automatic _ce making mechanism while tile refngerator is plugged in. Thin will help protect you from poss=ble injunj. It will also prevent interference with moving parts of tile ejector mechamsm and the heating

element that releases tile cubes.

Under certain rare circumstances, ice cubes may be dBcolored, usually appearing with a green-

bluBh hue. The cause of this unusual dmcoloratlon can be a combmatmon of factors such as certain charactermucs of local waters, household

plumbing and the accumulation of copper salts in an reactive water supply line which feeds the ice

maker. Continued consumption of such discolored

ice cubes may be injurious to health. If such dmcoloratlon is observed, discard the racecubes

and contact your dealer to purchase and install a water hne filter.

Water damage due to Haproper water connection

may cause mold/mildew growtll. Clean up water and ice spills to avoid personal

injury and to prevent mold/mildew growth.

StorageTips

Fresh Food Storage

* The fresh food compartment of a refrigerator should

be kept between 34° and 40° F (1° and 4° C) with an optimum temperature of 37° F (3° C). To check the

temperature, place an appliance thermometer in a

glass of water and place in the center of the refrigerator. Check after 24 hours. If the temperature

is above 40° F (4° C) adjust the controls as explained on pages 10 and 11.

* 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 humidity to help

preserve the fruit and vegetable quality for longer

time periods (see page 13).

* Sort fruits and vegetables before storage and use

bruised or soft items first. Discard those showing signs of decay.

• Always wrap odorous foods such as onions and cabbage so the odor does not transfer to other foods.

Frozen Food Storage

• The freezer compartment of a refrigerator should be kept at approximately 0° F (-18 ° C). To check the

temperature, place an appliance thermometer

between the frozen packages and check after 24 hours. If the temperature is above 0° F (-18 ° C),

adjust the control as described on pages 10 and 11.

A freezer operates more efficiently when it is at least two-thirds 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 be sure they are tightly sealed. Trapped air can cause the food to dry out, change color and develop an off-flavor (freezer burn).

* Overwrap fresh meats and poultry with suitable

freezer wrap prior to freezing.

* Do not refreeze meat that has completely thawed.

Loading the Freezer

* While vegetables need a certain amount of humidity

to remain fresh, too much humidity can shorten

storage times (especially leafy vegetables). Drain

vegetables well before storing.

* Wait to wash fresh produce until right before use.

Meat and Cheese

* Raw meat and poultry should be wrapped securely

so leakage and contamination of other foods or surfaces does not occur.

Occasionally mold will develop on the surface of hard cheeses (Swiss, Cheddar, Parmesan). Cut off at

least an inch around and below the moldy area. Keep your knife or instrument out of the mold itself. Do not try to save individual cheese slices, soft cheese,

cottage cheese, cream, sour cream or yogurt when

mold appears.

Dairy Food

* Most dairy foods such as milk, yogurt, sour cream

and cottage cheese have freshness dates on their

cartons for appropriate length of storage. Store these

foods in the original carton and refrigerate

immediately after purchasing and after each use.

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 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 with door openings.

Refer to the Food Storage Chart on pages 21 and 22 for approximate storage times.

Removing Odors From

Refrigerator

1. Remove all food and turn the refrigerator OFF.

2. Disconnect power to the refrigerator.

3. Clean the walls, floor, ceiling of cabinet interior, drawers, shelves and gaskets according to the

instructions on page 23.

4. Dilute mild detergent and brush solution into crevices using a plastic bristle brush. Let stand for 5 minutes. Rinse surfaces with warm water. Dry

surfaces with a soft, clean cloth.

5. Wash and dry all bottles, containers and jars.

Discard spoiled or expired items.

6. Wrap or store odor-causing foods in tightly sealed containers to prevent reoccurring odors.

refrigerator.

8. Allow the refrigerator to cool.

9. After 24 hours, check if odor has been eliminated.

if odor is still present:

1. Remove drawers and place on top shelf of refrigerator.

Energy Saving Tips

• Avoid overcrowding refrigerator shelves. This reduces air circulation around food and causes refrigerator to run longer.

• Avoid adding too much warm food to refrigerator at one time. This overloads compartments and slows

rate of cooling.

• Do not use aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper

toweling as shelf liners. This decreases air flow and

causes refrigerator to run less efficiently.

• A freezer that is two-thirds full runs most efficiently. Locate refrigerator in coolest part of room. Avoid

areas of direct sunlight, or near heating ducts, registers or other heat producing appliances. If this is not possible, isolate exterior by using a section of

cabinet. Clean door gaskets every three months according to

cleaning instructions. This will assure that door seals properly and refrigerator runs efficiently.

Take time to organize items in refrigerator to reduce time that door is open.

Be sure your doors are closing securely by leveling refrigerator as instructed in your installation

instructions.

2. Pack refrigerator and freezer sections - including doors - with crumpled sheets of black and white

newspaper.

3. Place charcoal briquettes randomly on crumpled

newspaper in both freezer and refrigerator

compartments.

4. Close doors and let stand 24 to 48 hours.

• Clean condenser coils as indicated in the cleaning instructions every three months. This will increase

energy efficiency and cooling performance.

w Operetin9Sounds

Improvements in refrigeration design may produce sounds in your new refrigerator that are different or were not present in an older model. These improvements were made to create a refrigerator that is better at preserving food,

is more energy efficient, and is quieter overall. Because new refrigerators run quieter, sounds may be detected that were present in older refrigerators, but were masked by higher sound levels. Many of these sounds are normal. Please note that the surfaces adjacent to a refrigerator, such as hard walls, floors and cabinetry may make these sounds seem even louder. The following are some of the normal sounds that may be noticed in a new refrigerator.
