How the Water Dispenser Works

The water tank, Uocatedbehind the drawers in the refrigerator compartment, automatically fills as water is dispensed, For proper dispenser operation, the recommended supply water pressure should fall between 20 psi and 100 psi,

Water pressure must not exceed 100 Ibs. Excessive pressure may cause water filter to malfunction.

After the refrigerator is connected to the water supply, fill the water tank by drawing one glass of water, it may take about 11/2minutes after activating the dispenser paddle before water begins to fill this first glass, Continue flushing the system for 3 minutes to rid the tank and plumbing connections of any impurities, The water dispenser has a built in shutoff device that will stop the water flow after 3 minutes of continuous use, Simply release the dispenser paddle to reset the shutoff

How the/co Dispenser Works

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 cause the ice maker to cycle two

or three times before making a full tray of ice, Ice production is controlled by the ice

maker's On/Off power switch, Press the switch to the "0" position to turn it Off and press it

to the 'T' position to turn it On, With no usage it will take approximately 2 days to fill the ice container, The ice maker also has a built-in wire signal arm,which automatically stops ice

production when the ice bin is full, This signal arm should not be used to manually stop the ice maker,

Because of new plumbing connections, the first production of ice cubes may be discolored

or have an odd flavor, These should be discarded until the cubes made are free of discoloration and taste,

iCE DISPENSER TiPS o Ice cubes stored too long may develop an odd flavor, Empty the ice container and ensure that the ice maker's On/Off

power switch is turned On (set to the '1"position), The ice maker will then produce more ice,

* Occasionally shake the ice container to keep ice separated, * Keep the ice maker's On/Off power switch turned Off (set to the "O" position) until the refrigerator isconnected tothe water

supply or whenever the water supply isturned off.

may be noisy when it attempts to operate without water.

if the disport!!rig paddJe is PUshed for more than 4 minutes, the dispenser motor may overload

_-_ and stop.The overload protector will reset automatically after 3 or 4 minutes.

o If a large quantity of ice is needed at one time, it is best to remove cubes directly from the ice container, o The following sounds are normal when the ice maker is operating:

* Ice dropping into ice container * Running water * Water valve opening or closing

o Turn Off the ice maker when cleaning the freezer and during vacations, * If the ice maker will be turned off for a long period of time, you should also turn off the water supply valve,

Do not use the ice chute as a handle when removing or replacing the ice storage bin,

PureSourceZ M * Ice and Water Front Filter (some models)

NOTE: ff You purchased a refrigerator with a PureSource2 TM ice and Water front filter, please read the following use and care information. This ice and water filter system filters water to your ice maker and water dispenser. It is located in the upper right front corner of the fresh food compartment.

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 The Water Dispenser

Works section to properly fill the system with water,

Changing the Fi#er:

Water conditions vary throughout the world, but changing the water filter every 6 =9 months normally will ensure the highest possible water quality, The Filter Status light will turn red after approximately 400 gallons of water has flowed through the ice and water dispenser, Also, if the filter has been in a refrigerator that has not been in use for awhile (during moving for example), change the filter before reinstalling the refrigerator, The dispenser system wiiialso operate without filtration (with filter cartridge removed and bypass installed),

To change f/#er:

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

FOOD STORAGE iDEAS

Fresh Food Storage

The fresh food compartment shouUdbe kept between 34° F and 40° F with an optimum temperature of 37° R Avoid overcrowding the refrigerator sheUves,This reduces the circuUation of air around the food and resuUtsin uneven cooling,

Occur,

Frozen Food Storage

o The freezer compartment shouUdbe kept at 0° For Uower,

,, A freezer operates most efficientUy when it is at Ueast2/3 full, Packaging Foods for Freezing

Tominimize dehydration and quality deterioration, use aUuminumfoil, 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),

o Wrap fresh meats and poultry with suitable freezer wrap prior to freezing,

Do not refreeze meat that has completely thawed,

Loading the Freezer

o 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, o 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

o Locate the refrigerator in the coolest part of the room out ofdirect sunlight,

and away from heating ducts or registers, Do no1 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,

o Level the refrigerator so that the doors close tightly, ° Refer to this Use & Care Manual for the suggested temperature control

settings,

Periodic cleaning of the condenser will help the refrigerator run more efficiently, See the Care and Cleaning Charton page 19.

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

o Cover foods and wi pe 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,
