Automatic Ice Maker

Connect the ice maker to the water supply as instructed on page 8. Proper water flow and a level

refrigerator are essential for optimal ice maker performance.

Operating Instructions

• Confirm ice bin is in place and ice maker arm is

down.

• After freezer section reaches between 0° to 2° F (-18 ° to -17 ° C), ice maker fills with water and begins

operating. You will have a complete harvest of ice approximately every

three hours.

• Allow approximately 24 hours after

installation to receive first harvest of ice.

• Discard ice created within first 12 hours of operation to assure system is flushed of impurities.

• Turn off (arm up) the ice maker when the water supply is to be shut off for several hours.

To Remove the Ice Bin:

• Pull it forward, away from the ice maker. To avoid the ice maker dumping ice while the bin is removed, turn

the ice maker off by raising the ice maker arm.

To Install the Ice Bin:

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

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

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

• The first one or two batches will probably contain undersized and irregular cubes because of air in the

supply line.

• When the ice cubes are ejected it is normal 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 ice maker arm, shutting the ice maker off.

• Certain sounds may accompany the various cycles of

the ice maker. The motor may have a slight hum, the

cubes will rattle as they fall into an empty storage pan and the water valve may click or "buzz"

occasionally.

• If the ice is not used frequently, the ice cubes will become cloudy, shrink, stick together and taste stale. Empty the ice storage bin periodically and wash it in

lukewarm water. Be sure to dry the bin thoroughly before replacing it.

Water Dispenser (select mode_s)

The Water Dispenser is located on the left side wall of the fresh food "_7-_,!

section. This design is for cold water dispensing only. _L

• Beverages and foods should not be placed in the ice storage bin for quick chilling. These items can block

the ice maker arm, causing the ice maker to

malfunction.

To Dispense Water:

• Hold container under spout and press dispenser pad.

Water Filter Removal and

Installation

Replacing Water Filter

IMPORTANT: Air trapped in system may cause

water and cartridge to eject. Always dispense water for at least two minutes before removing the

filter for any reason. Use caution when removing.

1. Turn filter counterclockwise until it releases from filter head.

2. Drain water from filter into sink, and dispose in normal household trash.

3. Wipe up excess water in filter cover and continue with Initial Installation, steps 2 through 4.

The filter should be changed at least every 12 months.

IMPORTANT: Condition of water and amount used determines life span of water filter cartridge. If water use

is high, or if water is of poor quality, replacement may need to take place more often.

To purchase a replacement water filter cartridge, contact your dealer or call 1-877-232-6771 U.S.A. or

1-800-688-8408 Canada.

Initial Installation

The water filter is located in the upper

right-hand corner of the fresh food compartment.

1. Remove blue bypass cap and retain for later use.

2. Remove sealing label from end of filter and insert into filter head.

3. Rotate gently clockwise until filter stops. Snap filter cover closed.

Reduce water spurts by flushing air from system. Run water continuously for two minutes through dispenser until water runs

steady. During initial use, allow about a one- to two-minute delay in water dispersal to allow

internal water tank to fill.

• Additional flushing may be required in some

households where water is of poor quality.

The dispenser feature may be used without a water filter

cartridge. If you choose this option, replace filter with blue bypass cap.

FoodStorugeTips

Fresh Food Storage

• The fresh food compartment of a refrigerator should

be kept between 340-40 ° F (1°-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 page 10.

• 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 11).

• 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 2/4 hours. If the temperature is above 0° F (-18 ° C),

adjust the control as described on page 10.

• 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 18 and 19 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 20.

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 recurring odors.

7. Reconnect power to refrigerator and return food to refrigerator.

Energy Saving Tips

• Avoid overcrowding refrigerator shelves. Overcrowding 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 or an added layer of insulation.

• 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.

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.

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.

Preparing for Vacation

For short vacations or absences (three months or less):

1. Remove all perishables.

2. If no one will be checking in on the refrigerator during your absence, remove all frozen items also.

3. If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker:

• Shut off the water supply to the ice maker at

least one day ahead of time.

• After the last load of ice drops, raise the wire

shut off arm to the OFF position.

• Empty the ice bin.

4. If the room temperature will drop below 55° F (13° C), follow the instructions for longer absences.

For long vacations, absences (more than three months) OR if the room temperature will drop below 55 ° F (13 ° C):

1. Remove food.

during moving.

Opermin9Sounds

_Jm

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.
