Child

Entrapment And Suffocation:

These problems are not limited to the past. Whether

junked, abandoned or temporarily stored (even for a few hours), unattended refrigerators and freezers are

dangerous. Please take the precautions listed below.

ProperDisposalOf RefrigeratorsAnd Freezers

Before you throw away your old refrigerator/freezer:

• Remove the doors.

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

• Have refrigerant removed by a qualified service technician.

Safety

ELECTRICALINFORMATION

[] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] III [] [] []

The refrigerator must be plugged into its own dedicated 115 Volt, 60 Hz., AC-only electric 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. Do not use an extension cord or adapter plug.

If the power cord is damaged, it should be replaced by the manufacturer, service technician or a qualified person 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 outlet controlled by a wall

Connecting The Water Supply

ABOUT YOUR REFRIGE TOR'SWATER SUPPLY

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

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 Installation Instructions to connect the water supply. This information is repeated here for future reference if you need to relocate your refrigerator.

Whatyou willneed:

• Access to a cold water line with pressure of 30-100 psi.

• Copper tubing with ¼-inch (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.

Connecting The Water Supply

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 22. 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.

TurningTheIceDispenserOnAnd 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 tray out. Press the switch to the "0" position to turn it Off and press to the 'T' position to turn it On.

Automatic ice &

;r Dispenser

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.

REP CING THEWATERFILTER

In general, you should change the water filter every six to nine months to ensure highest possible water quality. The FHter Status light on the dispenser control panel (see page 20) prompts you to replace the filter after a standard amount of

water (400 gallons for pure advantage TM and 250 gallons for pure advantage _"_)

This system should not be used on water that is microbiologicatly 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 _

• Maximum Operating Temp. - 100 ° F

Changing The

Toreplaceyourpure advantageTM waterfilter:

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 23 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.

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 place.

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 23 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 Filter

Status has been reset.

Storing Food & Saving Energy

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 17 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 seat 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.

Storing Food & Saving Energy

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.

IDEASFORSAVINGENERGY

Installation

• 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

o 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.

Normal Operating Sounds & Sights

UNDERSTAND)NGTHESOUNDSYOUMAYHEAR

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

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 Ice Maker When ice has been produced, 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 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.

Care &Cleaning

P.R2T.!"G.Y?U.R!"V.ES.T.ME."T.. . . . . . . .
