Before Use

Remove the Packaging

Remove tape and glue residue from surfaces before turning on  the refrigerator. Rub a small amount of liquid dish soap over the adhesive with your fingers. Wipe with warm water and dry.

Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, flammable  fluids or abrasive cleaners to remove tape or glue. These products can damage the surface of your refrigerator. Dispose of/recycle all packaging materials.

Model Number

Serial Number

Date of Purchase In our continuing effort to improve the quality and performance

of our products, it may be necessary to make changes to the appliance without revising this guide.

IMPORTANT: If you receive a damaged product, immediately contact your dealer or builder. Do not install or use a damaged appliance.

Clean Before Using

After you remove all of the packaging materials, clean the inside of your refrigerator before using it. See the cleaning instructions in the Care and Cleaning section.

Important information to know about glass shelves and covers:

Do not clean glass shelves or covers with warm water when they are cold. Shelves and covers may break if exposed to sudden temperature changes or impact, such as bumping. Tempered glass is designed to shatter into many small, pebblesize pieces. This is normal. Glass shelves and covers are heavy. Use both hands when removing them to avoid dropping.

Refrigerator Operation

Plug the refrigerator into a grounded 3-prong electrical outlet. A 115 Volt, 60 Hz., AC only 15 or 20 Amp. fused, grounded

electrical supply is required. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only your refrigerator be provided. Use an outlet that cannot be turned off by a switch. Do not use an extension cord.

Setting the Controls

The control panel is located on the front of the ice and water dispenser.

To access the main control menu, press any of the four touch pads located on either side of the display. Then, touch the pad next to the desired option or user setting to access the various features.

IMPORTANT:

Press only the touch pads next to your selection on the display  screen, not the selection itself.

Wait 24 hours for your refrigerator to cool completely before  adding food. If you add food before the refrigerator has cooled completely, your food may spoil.

Adjusting the refrigerator and freezer temperature controls to  a colder than recommended setting will not cool the compartments any faster.

The recommended settings should be correct for normal  household refrigerator use. The controls are set correctly when milk or juice is as cold as you like and when ice cream is firm.

If the temperature is too warm or too cold in the refrigerator  or freezer, first check the air vents to be sure they are not blocked before adjusting the controls.

Turning Cooling On or Off

COOLING OFF controls all cooling functions, the control panel and the dispenser. It does not disconnect power to the refrigerator.

Press and hold the  COOLING OFF touch pad for three seconds. The LED will light up to indicate that cooling is off. Neither compartment will cool.

Press the  COOLING OFF touch pad again to turn on the cooling. The LED will turn off.

NOTE: At times, the front of the refrigerator cabinet may be warm to the touch. This condition is normal and helps prevent moisture from condensing on the cabinet. This condition will be more noticeable when the refrigerator is first started, during hot weather and after excessive or lengthy door openings.

Temperature Controls

For your convenience, your temperature controls are preset at the factory. When you first install your refrigerator, make sure the controls are still set to the recommended set points.

To Adjust Set Point Temperatures:

If you need to adjust the temperature in either the refrigerator or freezer compartment, use the settings listed in the chart as a guide. The display will show the set point for approximately 3 seconds.

Press the touch pad next to “WARMER” or “COLDER” to  adjust the set point to the desired temperature. Then, press the touch pad next to “Done” to lock in the new set point temperature.

NOTE: Except when first turning on the refrigerator, do not adjust either temperature control more than one setting at a time. Wait 24 hours for the temperature to stabilize between adjustments.

Freezer Compartment

The freezer compartment is located in the bottom drawer. It is equipped with modular storage bins for storing frozen foods.

NOTE: The ice maker is located in the refrigerator compartment. See the Ice and Water section below for more information.

Ice and Water

Connect the ice maker to the water supply as instructed in the installation instructions. Proper water flow and a level refrig-

erator are essential for optimal ice maker performance.

Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system. Systems certified for cyst reduction may be used on disinfected waters that may contain filterable cysts.

Ice Maker and Ice Storage Bin

The ice maker and storage bin are located in the upper left-hand side of the refrigerator compartment.

Turning the Ice Maker On/Off

The On/Off switch is located on the ice maker.

To turn on the ice maker, press the switch to the ON position.  To manually turn off the ice maker, press the switch to the 

OFF position.

IMPORTANT:

If you turn the refrigerator on before the water line is  connected, turn the ice maker OFF.

Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the  first three batches of ice produced.

The ice maker should produce approximately 8 to 12 batches  of ice in a 24-hour period.

To increase ice production, lower the freezer and refrigerator  temperature. See Setting the Controls on page 3. Wait 24 hours between adjustments.

The quality of your ice will be only as good as the quality of  the water supplied to your ice maker. Avoid connecting the ice maker to a softened water supply. Water softener chemicals (such as salt) can damage parts of the ice maker and lead to poor quality ice. If a softened water supply cannot be avoided, make sure the water softener is operating properly and is well maintained.

Do not use anything sharp to break up the ice in the bin. This  can cause damage to the ice bin and dispenser mechanism.

Do not store anything on top of the ice maker or in the ice  storage bin.

Water Filtration System

The water filter is located in the upper right-hand corner of the refrigerator compartment.

Water Filter Status

The control panel will remind you when it is time to order and replace your water filter by displaying a message when you dispense water. “Order Water Filter” means it is almost time to change the water filter and “Replace Water Filter” means a new water filter should be installed. It is recommended that you replace the water filter when you see the “Replace Water Filter” message OR earlier if the flow of water to your water dispenser or ice maker decreases noticeably

Press the touch pad next to “YES” to reset the water filter 3. status. Press the touch pad next to “NO” if you do not wish to reset the water filter status.

Replacing the Water Filter

IMPORTANT: Air trapped in the system may cause water and the cartridge to eject. Always dispense water for two minutes before removing the filter for any reason. Use caution when removing.

The water filter is located in the upper right hand corner of the fresh food compartment.

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

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

Turn the filter clockwise until it stops. Snap the filter cover 3. closed.

NOTICE: Flush four (4) gallons of water through the water filter cartridge before use.

IMPORTANT: The condition of the water and the amount used determines the life span of the water filter cartridge. If water use is high, or if water is of poor quality, replacement may need to take place more often.

To order visit www.everythingdacor.com or call Dacor Customer Service at (800) 793-0093. Use replacement cartridge AFF3.

The dispenser feature may be used without a water filter cartridge. If you choose this option, replace the filter with the blue bypass cap.
