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.

Important information to know about disposal of refrigerants:

Dispose of refrigerator in accordance with Federal and Local regulations. Refrigerants must be evacuated by a licensed, EPA certified refrigerant technician in accordance with established procedures.

OPERATING YOUR REFRIGERATOR

Using the Controls

For your convenience, your refrigerator controls are preset at the factory. When you first install your refrigerator, make sure that the controls are still preset. The Refrigerator Freezer controls should oth be set to the “mid-settings.”

■■ The Refrigerator Control adjusts the refrigerator compartment temperature. The Freezer Control adjusts the freezer compartment temperature. Settings to the left of the mid-setting make the temperature less cold. Settings to the right of the mid-setting make the temperature colder.

■■ Wait 24 hours before you put food into the refrigerator. If you add food before the refrigerator has cooled completely, your food may spoil.

NOTE: Adjusting the Refrigerator and Freezer controls to a higher (colder) than recommended setting will not cool the compartments any faster.

Adjusting Controls

Give the refrigerator time to cool down completely before adding food. It is best to wait 24 hours before you put food into the refrigerator. The settings indicated in the previous section should be correct for normal household refrigerator usage. The controls are set correctly when milk or juice is as cold as you like and when ice cream is firm.

Turn the control right (clockwise) to make the compartment colder.

IMPORTANT:

■■ Your product will not cool when the Refrigerator Control is set to Off.

■■ Turn the control left (counterclockwise) to make it less cold.

■■ To turn the cooling system off, turn the Refrigerator Control counterclockwise until it reaches the Off position.

If you need to adjust temperatures in the refrigerator or freezer, use the settings listed in the chart below as a guide. Wait at least 24 hours between adjustments.

Condition/Reason:	Adjustment:
Refrigerator Too Warm	Refrigerator Control One
	Setting Higher
Freezer Too Warm/ Too Little	Freezer Control One Setting
Ice	Higher
Refrigerator Too Cold	Refrigerator Control One
	Setting Lower
Freezer Too Cold	Freezer Control One Setting
	Lower

Crisper Humidity Control

(on some models)

You can control the amount of humidity in the moisture-sealed crisper. Adjust the control to any setting between Low and High.

Low (open) for best storage of fruits and vegetables with skins. High (closed) for best storage of fresh, leafy vegetables.

ICE AND WATER

Water and Ice Dispensers

NOTES:

■■ The dispensing system will not operate when either door (refrigerator or freezer) is open.

■■ Allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to cool down and chill water.

■■ Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the first three batches of ice produced. Wait 72 hours for full ice production.

Flush the Water System

Air in the water dispensing system can cause the water dispenser to drip. After connecting the refrigerator to a water source or replacing the water filter, flush the water system. Flushing the water dispensing system forces air from the water line and filter, and prepares the water filter for use.

NOTE: As air is cleared from the system, water may spurt out of the dispenser.

1.Using a sturdy container, depress and hold the water dispenser lever for 5 seconds, then release it for 5 seconds.

2.Repeat Step 1 until water begins to flow.

3.Once water begins to flow, continue depressing and releasing the dispenser lever (5 seconds on, 5 seconds off) until a total of 3 gal. (11.4 L) has been dispensed. Additional flushing may be required in some households.

The Water Dispenser

IMPORTANT:

■■ Dispense at least 1 qt (1 L) of water every week to maintain a fresh supply.

■■ If the flow of water from the dispenser decreases, it could be caused by low water pressure.

■■ With the water filter removed, dispense 1 cup (237 mL) of water. If 1 cup (237 mL) of water is dispensed in 8 seconds or less, the water pressure to the refrigerator meets the minimum requirement.

■■ If it takes longer than 8 seconds to dispense 1 cup (237 mL) of water, the water pressure to the refrigerator is lower than recommended. See the “Water Supply Requirements” section (in the User Instructions or

the Installation Instructions and Owner’s Manual) or “Troubleshooting” for suggestions.

For crushed ice, cubes are crushed before being dispensed. This may cause a slight delay when dispensing crushed ice. Noise from the ice crusher is normal, and pieces of ice may vary in size. When changing from crushed to cubed, a few ounces of crushed ice will be dispensed along with the first cubes.

To Dispense Ice:

1. Press the button to select the desired type of ice.

WARNING

Cut Hazard

Use a sturdy glass when dispensing ice.

Failure to do so can result in cuts.

2.Press a sturdy glass against the ice dispenser lever. Hold the glass close to the ice guide to ensure that the ice dispenses into the glass.

IMPORTANT: You do not need to apply a lot of pressure to the lever in order to activate the ice dispenser. Pressing hard will not make the ice dispense faster or in greater quantities.

3.Remove the glass to stop dispensing.

To Dispense Water:

1.Press a sturdy glass against the dispenser lever. Hold the glass close to the water dispenser spout to ensure that the water dispenses into the glass.

2.Remove the glass to stop dispensing.

IMPORTANT: The small tray at the bottom of the dispenser is designed to catch small spills and allow for easy cleaning. There is no drain in the tray. To empty and clean the tray, push down on the back of the removable tray lid and pull it out.

The Ice Dispenser

Ice dispenses from the ice maker storage bin in the freezer when the dispenser lever is pressed. To turn off the ice maker, see

the “Ice Maker and Storage Bin” section. Your ice maker can produce both crushed and cubed ice. Before dispensing ice, select which type of ice you prefer.

The Dispenser Light

On some models, the dispenser light will automatically turn on when you use the dispenser.

■■ If you want the light to be on continuously, press the On button on the left side of the dispenser panel. To turn the light back off, press the Off button on the left side of the dispenser panel.

The dispenser lights are LEDs that cannot be changed. If it appears that your dispenser lights are not working, see the “Troubleshooting” section for more information.

■■ Press CRUSHED for crushed ice, or CUBED for cubed ice.
