IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING WARNING

WARNING

WARNING WARNING

Please Read All Instructions Before Using This Refrigerator.

FOR YOUR SAFETY

• Do not store or use gasoline, or other flammable liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. Read product labels for warnings regarding flammability and other hazards.

• Do not operate the refrigerator in the presence of explosive fumes.

• Avoid contact with any moving parts of automatic ice maker.

• Remove all staples from the carton. Staples can cause severe cuts, and also destroy finishes if they come in contact with other appliances or furniture.

CHILD SAFETY

Destroy or recycle the carton, plastic bags, and any exterior wrapping material immediately after the refrigerator is unpacked. Children should NEVER use these items to play. Cartons covered with rugs, bedspreads, plastic sheets or stretch wrap may become airtight chambers, and can quickly cause suffocation.

PROPER DISPOSAL OF YOUR REFRIGERATOR OR FREEZER

Risk of child entrapment

Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators or freezers are still dangerous – even if they will sit for “just a few days.” If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator or freezer, please follow the instructions below to help prevent accidents.

Before you throw away your old refrigerator/ freezer:

• Remove doors.

• Leave shelves in place so children may not easily climb inside.

• Have refrigerant removed by a qualified service technician.

WARNING WARNING

WARNING

WARNING WARNING

These Guidelines Must Be Followed To Ensure That Safety Mechanisms In This Refrigerator Will Operate Properly.

ELECTRICAL INFORMATION

• The refrigerator must be plugged into its own dedicated 115 Volt, 60 Hz., 15 Amp, AC only electrical outlet. The power cord of the appliance is equipped with a

three-prong grounding plug for your protection against electrical shock hazards. It must be plugged directly into a properly grounded three prong receptacle. The receptacle must be installed in accordance with local codes and ordinances. Consult a qualified electrician. Avoid connecting refrigerator to a Ground Fault Interruptor (GFI) circuit. Do not use an extension cord or adapter plug.

• If the power cord is damaged, it should be replaced by an authorized service technician to prevent any risk.

• Never unplug the refrigerator by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly, and pull straight out from the receptacle to prevent damaging the power cord.

• Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning and before replacing a light bulb to avoid electrical shock.

• Performance may be affected if the voltage varies by 10% or more. Operating the refrigerator with insufficient power can damage the compressor. Such damage is not covered under your warranty.

HOW TO PRIME THE WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM

Your refrigerator’s water supply system includes several tubing lines, a water filter, a water valve and a water tank. To

ensure that your water dispenser works properly, this system must be completely filled with water when your refrigerator is first connected to the household water supply line and whenever you replace the water filter.

CA CA

UTIONUTION

UTION

CA CA

UTIONUTION

For proper dispenser operation, recommended water supply pressure should fall between 30 psi and 100 psi. Excessive pressure may cause water filter to malfunction.

TO PRIME THE WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM:

• Begin filling the tank by pressing and holding a drinking

glass against the water dispenser paddle.

• Keep the glass in this position until water comes out of

the dispenser. There will be noticeable spurts and sputters as the system pushes air out through the system and dispenser nozzle. This is normal. This may

take about 1½ minutes.

• Continue dispensing water for about 3 minutes to flush

the system of any air and impurities. Empty glass as needed.

cause the ice maker to cycle two or three times before making a full tray of ice. With no usage, it will take approximately two days to fill the ice container.

Because of new plumbing connections, the first production of ice cubes may be discolored or have an odd flavor. Discard ice made during the first 24 hours.

TURNING YOUR SIDE MOUNTED ICE MAKER ON/OFF

To begin ice production, lower the wire signal arm to the DOWN or ON position. The ice maker turns off automatically when the ice container becomes full. To stop the ice maker, raise the wire signal arm until it clicks and locks in the UP or OFF position (see Figure 1).

TURNING YOUR REAR MOUNTED ICE MAKER ON/OFF

Ice production is controlled by the ice maker’s ON/OFF power switch. To gain access to the ice maker, pull the ice cream shelf out. Press the switch to the “O” position to turn it Off and press it to the “I” position to turn it On (see Figure 2). The ice maker also has a built-in wire signal arm, which automatically stops ice production when the ice bin is full. DO NOT use this signal arm to manually stop the ice maker.

OFF

The water dispenser has a built-in device that shuts off the water flow after 3 minutes of continuous use. To reset this shutoff device, simply release the dispenser paddle.

Your ice maker is shipped from the factory with the wire signal arm in the ON position (side mounted) or with the switch turned ON (rear mounted). To ensure proper function of your ice maker, hook up water supply immediately or turn ice maker OFF by lifting the wire signal arm until it clicks and locks in the UP position (side mounted) or turn the On/Off switch to the Off (O) position. If the ice maker is

not turned off and the water supply is not connected, the water valve will make a loud chattering noise.

The ice maker and container are located in the top of the freezer compartment. After the refrigerator is installed properly and has cooled for several hours, the ice maker can begin making ice within 24 hours. Air in new plumbing lines may

Small Ice cubes or ice chips jamming in the ice maker may be a sign that your water filter needs changing. If you have a side mounted ice maker you may also experience hollow cubes — partially frozen cubes with water inside. When these cubes are harvested they break open and spill water over the other ice cubes in the ice container, forming a solid mass of ice. As the water filter nears the end of its useful life and becomes clogged with particles, less water is delivered to the ice maker during each cycle. The ice maker can’t fill every cube in the ice maker mold, leading to small cubes or chips that can get caught between the ice ejector blades and the stripper. Remember, if your ice maker is

jamming with small ice cubes or it’s been six months or longer since you last changed your water filter – replace the water filter with a new one. Poor quality household water may require the filter to be changed more frequently.

ICE PRODUCTION: WHAT TO EXPECT How Much Ice Will a Side Mounted Ice Maker

Produce in 24 Hours?

A side mounted ice maker will produce 4 to 4.5 pounds of ice every 24 hours, depending on usage conditions. Ice is produced at a rate of 8 cubes every 75 to 90 minutes.

How Much Ice Will a Rear Mounted Ice Maker Produce in 24 Hours?

A rear mounted ice maker will produce 3 to 4 pounds of ice every 24 hours, depending on usage conditions. Ice is produced at a rate of 8 cubes every 75 to 90 minutes.

ICE AND WATER DISPENSER FEATURES

The ice and water dispenser conveniently dispenses chilled water, and ice cubes or crushed ice, depending on the model.

To operate the ice dispenser, select the ice option desired using the touchpad. Press a glass against the dispensing paddle as far up as possible to catch all ice. To stop dispensing ice, pull glass away from dispensing paddle. Do not remove the glass until the ice has completely dispensed. Complete instructions for the dispenser operation are attached to the inside of the freezer door (some models).

ICE DISPENSER TIPS

• Remove ice chips and clean the shelf and chute that supports the ice container.

• Replace the ice container. Resume ice production on side-mounted ice makers by lowering the wire signal arm to the DOWN position. Resume ice production on rear-mounted ice makers by pressing the ice maker’s On/Off power switch to the On (I) position.

If the dispensing paddle is pushed for more than four minutes, the dispenser motor may overload and stop. The overload protector will reset automatically after three or four minutes.

• Ice cubes stored too long may develop an odd flavor.

Empty the ice container and ensure that the ice maker is on (see previous page). The ice maker will then produce more ice.

• Occasionally shake the ice container to keep ice

separated.

• If a large quantity of ice is needed at one time, it is best

to remove cubes directly from the ice container.

• Stop the ice maker when cleaning the freezer and during

vacations.

• If the ice maker will be turned off for a long period of

time, turn the water supply valve to a closed position.

CLEANING THE ICE DISPENSER

Clean the ice dispenser and ice container at regular intervals, particularly before you take a vacation or move, or if the ice dispenser sticks.

• Stop ice production on side-mounted ice maker by raising wire signal arm to the UP position. Stop ice production on rear-mounted ice makers by pressing the ice maker’s On/Off power switch to the Off (O) position.

• Remove ice container by lifting up and out. Empty and carefully clean the container with mild detergent. Rinse with clear water. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners. Allow ice container to dry completely before replacing in the freezer.

FOOD STORAGE & ENERGY SAVING IDEAS

FOOD STORAGE IDEAS

Fresh Food Storage

• The fresh food compartment should be kept between 34° F and 40° F with an optimum temperature of 37° F.

• 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 moisture to help preserve the fruit and vegetable quality for longer time periods.

Meat

• Raw meat and poultry should be wrapped securely so leakage and contamination of other foods or surfaces does not occur.

Frozen Food Storage

• The freezer compartment should be kept at 0° F or lower.

• A freezer operates most efficiently when it is at least 2/3 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 seal them tightly. Trapped air can cause food to dry out, change color, and develop an off-flavor (freezer burn).

• Wrap fresh meats and poultry with suitable freezer wrap prior to freezing.

• Do not refreeze meat that has completely thawed.

Loading the Freezer

• 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 a 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.

ENERGY SAVING IDEAS

• Locate the refrigerator in the coolest part of the room, out of direct sunlight, and away from heating ducts or registers. Do not place the refrigerator next to heat-producing appliances such as a range, oven, or dishwasher. If this

is not possible, a section of cabinetry or an added layer of insulation between the two appliances will help the refrigerator operate more efficiently.

• Level the refrigerator so that the doors close tightly.

• Refer to this Use & Care Manual for the suggested temperature control settings.

• Do not overcrowd the refrigerator or block cold air vents. Doing so causes the refrigerator to run longer and use more energy.

• Cover foods and wipe containers dry before placing them in the refrigerator. This cuts down on moisture build-up inside the unit.

• Organize the refrigerator to reduce door openings. Remove as many items as needed at one time and close the door as soon as possible.

NORMAL OPERATING SOUNDS & SIGHTS

UNDERSTANDING THE SOUNDS YOU MAY HEAR

Your new high-efficiency refrigerator may make unfamiliar sounds. These are all normal sounds and soon will become familiar to you. They also indicate your refrigerator is operating as designed.
