PROPER DISPOSAL OFYOUR 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.

ELECTRICAL iNFORMATiON

, The refrigerator must be plugged into its own

dedicated 115 Volt, 60 Nz., 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.

,, Do not plug the unit into an electrical outlet controlled by a wall switch or pull cord to prevent the refrigerator from

being turned off accidentally.

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.

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 1t/2 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 "1" 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.

HOW THE ICE MAKER WORKS

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.

" 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.

An extended power failure (one hour or longer) causes

ice cubes in the ice storage bin to melt and freeze

together and jam the dispenser mechanism. The ice dispenser is not used frequently. Ice cubes will freeze together in the bin and jam the dispenser

mechanism. Remove the ice storage bin and shake to loosen the cubes.

PURESOURCE TM_ _CE AND WATER FILTER (SOME moving for example), change the filter before reinstalling the MODELS} refrigerator. The dispenser system will also operate without

filtration (with filter cartridge removed).

To change filter:

It is not necessary to turn the water supply off to change the filter.

1. Open freezer door and leave open until filter change is complete.

2. Turn OFF side mounted ice maker by raising wire signal arm to the UP position. Turn OFF rear mounted ice maker

by pressing ON/OFF power switch to the "0" position.

System Startup:

Water supply does not need to be turned off, however, do not use ice and water dispenser while installing filter. The filter cartridge has already been installed in the filter housing at the factory. Refer to the How to Prime the Water Supply System section to

properly fill the system with water.

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° R

,, 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.

UNDERSTANDINGTHE SOUNDSYOU 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. Hard surfaces, such as vinyl or wood floors, walls, and kitchen cabinets may make sounds more noticeable. Listed below are descriptions of some of the most common sounds

you may hear, and what is causing them.

A. Evaporator

The flow of refrigerant through the evaporator may create a boiling or gurgling sound.

B. Evaporator Fan

You may hear air being forced through the refrigerator by the evaporator fan.

C. Defrost Heater

During defrost cycles, water dripping onto the defrost heater may cause a hissing or sizzling sound. After defrosting, a popping sound may occur.

D. Automatic Ice Maker

If your refrigerator is equipped with an automatic ice

maker, you will hear ice cubes falling into the ice bin.

E. Cold Control & Automatic Defrost Control

These parts can produce a snapping or clicking sound when turning the refrigerator on and off.

F. Condenser Fan

You may hear air being forced through the condenser by the condenser fan.

G. Compressor

Modern, high-efficiency compressors operate much

faster than older models. The compressor may have a high-pitched hum or pulsating sound.

I-I. Water Valve

If your refrigerator is equipped with an automatic ice

maker, you will hear a buzzing sound as the water valve opens to fill the ice maker during each cycle.

L Drain Pan (not removable)

You may hear water running into the drain pan during the defrost cycle.

J, Condenser

May create minimal sounds from forced air.

K. Motorized Damper

May produce a light humming during operation.

Keep your refrigerator and freezer clean to prevent odor build-up. Wipe up any spills immediately and clean both sections at least twice a year. Never use metallic scouring pads, brushes, abrasive cleaners or strong alkaline solutions on any surface. Do not

wash any removable parts in a dishwasher. Always unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet before cleaning.
