HOWTHEWATER DISPENSERWORKS
The water tank, located behind the drawers in the refrigerator

compartment, automatically fills as water is dispensed. For
proper dispenser operation, the recommended supply water
pressure should fail between 30 psi and 100 psi.

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

mechanism.

HOWTHE ICE DISPENSER WORKS -SIDE MOUNTED
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 I oH

begin making ice within 24
hours. Air in new piumbing
lines may cause the ice

maker to cycle two or three
times before making a full
tray of ice. To begin ice _g,_A_m

production, lower the wire _
signal arm to the "down" or

ON position. With no usage it
will take approximately 2

days to filI the ice container.

The ice maker turns off automatically when the ice container

becomes fulL To stop the ice maker, lift the wire signal arm until

it clicks, and locks in the "up" or OFF position.

HOWTNE ICE DISPENSER WORKS -REAR MOUNTED
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

"O" position to turn it Off and press it to the "l" 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.
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.

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.
lOB ANDWATER 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 atI 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.)

lOB DISPENSER TIPS

,, Ice cubes stored too long may develop an odd flavor.

Empty the ice container and ensure that the wire signal

arm is in its "down" or ON position (side mounted) or the

ice maker's On/Off power switch is turned On-set to the "r'
position (rear mounted). The ice maker wiil then produce

more ice,

,, Occasionally shake the ice container to keep ice

separated.

,, Keep the wire signal arm in its "up" or OFF position (side

mounted) or the ice maker's On/Off power switch turned

Off-set to the "O" position (rear mounted) until the

refrigerator is connected to the water supply or whenever

the water supply is turned off.

particularly before you take a vacation or move, or if the ice
dispenser sticks.

1. Stop ice production by lifting the wire signal arm to the
"up" or OFF position (side mounted) or the ice maker's On/

Off power switch turned Off-set to the "O" position (rear

mounted) .

2. Remove ice container by lifting up and out. Empty and
carefully clean the container with rni[d detergent. Rinse

with clear water. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners.

On-set to the "F position. (rear mounted)and the ice

maker will resume production.

Remove and empty the ice storage bin if:

1. An extended power failure (one hour or longer) causes ice
cubes in the ice storage bin to melt and freeze together
and iam the dispenser mechanism.

2. 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.

FOODSTORAGEmDEAS

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 iuice on the freezer door shelves. These foods are
best stored in the freezer interior where the temperature
varies less.

UNDERSTANDmNGTHE SOUNDSYOU MAY HEAR

Your new high-efficiency refrigerator may make unfamiliar
sounds. These are alI normal sounds and soon wilI 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.

H. WaterValve

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.
