The automatic ice & water dispenser on your refrigerator requires a permanent
water supply to function correctly. During installation, you (or a service
professional) establish this water supply by connecting a copper tube from your
household water system to a valve at the rear of the refrigerator.

You may have already followed the directions in the tnstaflation Instructions to
connect the water supply. This information is repeated here for future reference if
you need to relocate your refrigerator.

Whatyou wifl need:

* Access to a cold water line with pressure of 30-100 psi.
, Copper tubing with ¼dnch (6.4mm) OD. Length for this tubing is the distance

from the rear of the refrigerator to your household water supply line plus 7
feet (2.1 meters).

, A shut-off valve for the connection between your household water line and

the refrigerator supply line.
Do not use a self-piercing shut-off valve.

A compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) for the water supply connection at the
rear of your refrigerator.

Toconnectthewatersupplyto therearof your refrigerator:

1

Ensure that the refrigerator is not plugged in.

ICEDISPENSEROPE_TION & CARE

[] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] []

The ice maker, ice bin, and dispenser feeding mechanism 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 produce ice within 24 hours. It can completely
fill an ice bin in about two days.

The ice maker produces 4 to 6 pounds of ice every 24 hours depending on usage

conditions. Ice is produced at a rate of 8 cubes every 75 to 90 minutes.

UsingTheiceDispenserAfterInstallation

Before making ice for the first time, be sure to prime the water supply system as

described on page 23. Air in new plumbing lines can result in two or three empty

ice maker cycles. Furthermore, if the system is not flushed, the first ice cubes may

be discolored or have an odd flavor.

TurningTheiceDispenserOnAndOff

Ice production is controlled by the ice maker's OnlOff power
switch. To gain access to the ice maker, pull the ice cream tray
out. Press the switch to the "O" position to turn it Off and press
to the "l" position to turn it On.

IceDispenserTips

• Ice cubes stored too long may develop an odd flavor, Empty the ice container
as explained on the next page.

Occasionally shake the ice container to keep ice separated.

If your refrigerator is not connected to a water supply or the water supply is

turned off, turn off the ice maker by pressing the On/Off switch.

• If you need a large quantity of ice at one time, it is best to get cubes directly
from the ice container.

• The following sounds are normal when the ice maker is operating:

Motor running

Ice dropping into ice container

• Water valve opening or closing
Ice loosening from tray

Running water

Turn off the ice maker when cleaning the freezer and during vacations.

If you turn off the ice maker for a long period of time, you should also turn off

the water supply valve.

CleaningTheIceDispenser

Clean the ice maker and ice bin at regular intervals, particularly
before you take a vacation or move.

&

;r ;r

Tocleanthe icedispenser:

1 Turn off ice production by pressing the ice maker's Off/On switch,

2 Remove the ice bin by lifting up and out.

3 Empty and carefully clean the ice bin with mild detergent. Rinse with clear

water. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners.

4 Allow the ice bin to dry completely before replacing in the freezer.

5 Remove ice chips and clean the ice bin shelf and the freezer door chute (for

more tips on care and cleaning, see page 35).

6 Replace the ice bin. Press the ice maker's Off/On switch to resume ice

production.

Removeandemptytheicestoragebinif:

An extended power failure (one hour or longer) causes ice cubes in the tce

storage bin to melt and freeze together, jamming the dispenser mechanism.
You do not use the ice dispenser frequently. Ice cubes will freeze together

in the bin, jamming the dispenser mechanism.

Remove the ice storage bin and shake to loosen the cubes or clean as explained
above.

Never use an ice pick or similar sharp instrument to break up the ice. This could

panel (see page 22) prompts you to replace the filter after a standard amount of
water (400 gallons for pure advantageTMand 250 gallons for pure advantage _/u_)

has flowed through the system.

If your refrigerator has not been used for a period of time (during moving for
example), change the filter before reinstalling the refrigerator.

MoreAboutYourAdvancedWaterFilter

The pure advantage TM and pure advantage _"s ice and water filter

systems are tested and certified by NSF International, the nationally
respected, not-for-profit certification organization for public health
safety. The pure advantage TM and pure advantage_usfilter systems

i are tested and certified to ANSIiNSF Standards 42 and 53 for thereduction of claims specified on the performance data sheet.

This system should not be used on water that is microbiologically unsafe or with
water of unknown quality unless the water has been adequately disinfected before
or after traveling through the filtration system.

NSF Test & Certification Results:

• Rated Capacity =400 gallons for pure advantageTMand 250 gallons for pure

advantage plu_

• Rated service flow = .5 gallons per minute

• Maximum Rated Pressure = 100 pounds per square inch
Maximum Operating Temp. = 100 ° F

It is not necessary to turn the water supply off to change the filter. Be ready to wipe
up any small amounts of water released during the filter replacement. The bottom
of the filter housing includes two small water drainage holes, so be sure to remove

any stored food from the top shelf.

1 Turn Off the ice maker power switch (see page 24 for

more about turning off the ice maker).

2 Push the filter release button to the right of the

cartridge to disconnect it.

3 Slide the old filter cartridge straight out of the housing

and discard it.

4

Unpackage the new filter cartridge and slide it gently
into the filter housing until it stops against the snap-in

connector at the back of the housing.
Push firmly until the cartridge snaps into p_ace.

When fully engaged, the front of the filter cartridge
should be flush with the filter release button.

6 Turn On the ice maker power switch (see page 24 for

more about turning on the ice maker).

7 Press a drinking glass against the water dispenser

while checking for any leaks at the filter housing. Any

spurts and sputters that occur as the system purges air
out of the dispenser system are normal.

8 After filling one glass of water, continue flushing the

system for about three minutes.

9 Press and hold the Filter Status button on the Ice &

Water Dispenser control panel for 3 seconds. The light

flashes red, amber, and green to indicate the FHter

Status has been reset.

IDEASFORSTORINGFOODS

[] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] []

FreshFoodStorage

Keep the fresh food compartment between 34 ° F and 40 ° F with an optimum
temperature of 37 ° F (see page 13 for more about temperature settings).

• Avoid overcrowding the refrigerator shelves, which reduces air circulation and
causes uneven cooling.

FruitsandVegetables

• Store fruits and vegetables in crisper drawers, where trapped moisture helps
preserve food quality for longer time periods.

Meat

Wrap raw meat and poultry securely so leakage and contamination of other
foods or surfaces does not occur.

* Use the meat keeper drawer for short term storage. Any meat to be kept

longer than two days should be frozen.
See page 18 for more about the meat keeper drawer.

FrozenFoodStorage

• Keep the freezer compartment at 0° F or lower (see page 13 for more about
temperature settings).

• A freezer operates most efficiently when it is at least 2/3 full.

PackagingFoodsfor Freezing

To minimize food 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.

LoadingtheFreezer

, 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 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.

hstaJlation

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.

TemperatureSettings

, Refer to earlier sections in this Use & Care Manual (beginning on page 12)

for recommendations on temperature control settings.

FoodStorage

, Avoid overcrowding the refrigerator or blocking 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.

UNDERSTANDINGTHESOUNDSYOUMAYHEAR

[] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] []

Your new high-efficiency refrigerator may introduce unfamiliar sounds. These
sounds normally indicate your refrigerator is operating correctly. Some surfaces on
floors, walls, and kitchen cabinets may make these sounds more noticeable

Following is a list of major components in your refrigerator and
the sounds they can cause:

A Evaporator 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.

Automatic Rce Maker When ice has been produced, you
will hear ice cubes falling into the ice bin.

Co_d Contro_ & Automatic Defrost ControR These parts can produce a
snapping or clicking sound when turning the cooling system on and off.

F

Condenser Fan You may hear air being forced through the condenser.

G

Compressor Modern, high-efficiency compressors run much faster than in
the past. The compressor may have a high-pitched hum or pulsating sound.

H

Water Valve Makes a buzzing sound each time it opens to fill the ice maker.

I

Drain Pan (not removable' You may hear water dripping 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.
