Unpacking and Door Handle Removal
Remove all tape and packing material.
To remove tape residue, touch a portion
of the tape to the residue and lift it off. If
adhesive residue still remains, try clean-
ing the sticky area with a clean cloth
soaked in mild dish washing soap. Wipe
area clean. If the wood base is still
attached, have someone help you tilt
the unit onto its back, placing asturdy
support underneath. Remove the
mounting bolts from the base and dis-
card bolts and wood base.
IMPORTANT! Do not leave the cabinet
on its back longer than it takes to re-
move the wooden base and do not con-
nect the power cord until all the inside
packing has been removed andthe
cabinet has been leveled for proper
operation.
With the unit upright, pull the grille from
the bottom front and make sure the
defrost drain pan is located underneath
the defrost water drain tube. Twodrain
pan side supports (attached to the cabi-
net bottom) keep the pan in the proper
location, to make the automatic defrost
drain water drop on the sound reducing
cone. The drain pan locating stops pre-
vent the pan from being installed
backwards.

Replacement
Shouldthe night-lightbulb ever need to
be replaced,it islocated just above the
water dispenser bar.Replace with a 120
volt, 6 watt bulb. Sylvania 6S6 bulb or
order from your Amana Service Dept.,
part number M0360001.
Do not add ice to ice bin.

The unithas been "matched" to the
automatic ice maker and willnot oper-
ate pmporlywith different shaped or
sized cubes.
Water Dispenser
To operate, press glass against the
water dispenser bar. Releasing pres-
sure shuts the water off.
Some slight dripping may occur follow-
ing dispensing of iceor water. If exces-
sive, the spill should be wiped dry
immediately See Figure 33.
Do not pour water in spill shelf because
it is not self-draining -- pour it in the
k'rtchensink. The shelf and itsgrille
should be cleaned regularly according
to instructions on page 36.

FIGURE 33
After the unit isconnected to an active
household cold water line, fill and throw
out the first 10-14 eight-ounce glasses
of water. This will cleanse the lines of
impurities.
Water taste and odor,
There are many variableswhichcan
affect the taste and odor properties of
the water that is being dispensedfrom
your Amana Ice 'N Water model
such as:
1. Iron and other mineral deposits nor-
mally found in water.
2. Type of tubing (copper, galvanized,
plastic, etc.) used in the household
water supply system as well as the
type of tubing used to connect your
unit to your household water supply
3. Water has been left standing unused
in the storage reservoir and/or water
supply line for a long length of time.
Tominimize taste and odor problems,it
isrecommended that the following
steps be taken:
1. ThorOughly rinse out the system
after it has been connected to the
household water supply.This can be
accomplished by throwing away the
first 10-14 eight-ounce glasses of
water that are obtained from the unit.
2. If the water dispensing system has
not been used for an extended time,
the entire water reservoir and system
should be flushed, as instructed
above. This will ensure a fresh sup-
ply of water at all times.
If the above suggestions do not entirely
eliminate an undesirable taste or odor
condition inyour water, your problem is
most likely a water problem. It isrecom-
mended that you contact your local
water treatment company for its spe-
cialized kind of help in solving your
problem.
How The Water Dispenser Works
The water reservoir is located in the
refrigerator behind the hi-humidity com-
partment or crisper pan, depending on
the model you have. important Note:
DO NOT REMOVE THE STYROFOAM
OR PLASTIC COVER. The water line to
the dispenser bar is routed in a special
way to prevent freeze-ups. The water
dispensing lever energizes the water
line solenoid to add water to the water
reservoir. See Figure 34.

best overall operation of the unit, be
sure to return the freezer control to
its previous position as soon as
possible.
Ifyou use very little ice over a pedod of
a week or so -- or ifyou use none at all
for that period -- the ice cubes may
freeze into a solid mass and the unit will
not dispense ice. You must then remove
the icebin (follow instructions on page
13) thaw the ice and throw it away.
Overload. If you hold the dispenser bar
in the ON position for approximately 4-5
minutes, the dispenser motor may trip
out on overload. This could occur ifyou
were trying to fill a large ccntalner with
ice. The ovedoad will reset automatically
in approximately 3 minutes,after which
ice can again be dispensed.

WARNING:
ToAvoidPersonalInjury NEVER
put fingers or other objectsinto
the ice dispenser opening.
How the Ice Dispenser Works
Safety. All of the ice making and dis-
pensingmechanisms are enclosed
withintheirown compartment for safety
and for maximum storage space inthe
freezer sections.
Whenever the freezer door isopened,
the ice dispenser mechanism is inter-
rupted.This preventsthe dispensing of
ice and also insuresthat you can safely
service the ice bucket.
WARNING:
ToAvoid Personalor Property
Damage NEVER attempt to oper-
ate the dispensing system with
the dooropen.
11
Water is automatically measured into
the ice maker, When the water freezes,
a sensor initiates the ejector blades that
dump the cubes into the U-shaped Har-
vester Bin, where they are held in stor-
age for delivery. When you push the
Dispenser Bar,a largeauger gently, but
firmly, moves cubes from the bin. See
Figure36.

CAUTION:
ToAvoid Property Damage Do
NOT Dispense Ice Directly Into
Thin Glass, Fine China or Delicate
Crystal.
Ice should not be dispensed directly
into thin glasses, fine china or delicate
crystal -- they can crack or chip from
the combined pressure of your hand
pressing them against the cradle and
ice dropping into the container.
Cubed/Crushed Ice 'N Water TM
Models Only.
In the cube mode the auger turns the
ice wheel in a counter clockwisedirec-
tion bypassing the crusher blades and
moving the cubes directly into the glass.
When the dispenseris in the crushed
ice mode the auger turns inthe clock-
wise direction forcing cubes into the
crusher blades, dispensing crushed ice
directly into the glass. See Figure 36A.
Tohelp keep bits of ice from being
sprayed beyond the glass; place the
glass close to the ice chute.
In the case of a stall or jam, either in the
cube or crushed mode, try dispensing
in the opposite mode, severaltimes if
necessary. In most cases this will clear
the dispenser. Do not manually attempt
to clear the ice dispenser with the
freezer door closed, with the harvest bin
in place or with the unit plugged in. TO
DO SO COULD CAUSE SERIOUS
PERSONAL INJURY.
There may be a delay when switching
between cube and crushed ice modes.
THIS IS NORMAL. Ittakes a few sec-
ondsfor cubesto be moved fromthe
Harvest bin. Crushed ice pieces will
vary in size and shape.
Sometimes a mound ofsnow willform
on the door and/or ice chute. This con-
dition is normal and usually occurs
when you have dispensed crushed ice
repeatedly The snow will eventually
evaporate.
CAUTION:
To guard against possible
water damage. Ifthe refrigerator
willbe unattended,raise the ice
maker wireshut off arm and tam
the water shut offvalve forthe
refrigerator to OFF.
