How the Water Dispenser Works

The water tank, bcated behind the drawers in the refrigerator compartment, automatbaHy 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

mechanism,

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 "O" position to turn it Off and press it to the '1" 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 buibin 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 * 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 to the water

supply or whenever the water supply isturned off,

IMPORTANT: The ice make[ isturned On at the factory so !tcan work as soon as you insta!! your refrigerator. If you

cannot connect a water supply, tum the On!Off switch to the Off ("0! _)position. Otherwise, the ice maker!s valve may be noisy whe n it attempt s to operate without Water.

If thed!spens!ng paddJe !s PUShed for more than 4 minutes, the dispenser mote[ may overload

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

o Ifa 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:

* Motor running o * ice dropping into ice container o 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,

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 awNe (during moving for example), change the filter before reinstalling the refrigerator, The dispenser system willalso operate without filtration (with filter cartridge removed and bypass installed),

To change filter:

It is not necessary to turn the water supply off to change the filter,

9, After you have run one glass of water, continue to flush the system for

approximately 3 minutes to assure that the purest water possible is stored in the water storage tank.

IMPORTANT: Resetting The EiJter Status Light (some models)

After replacing the filter cartridge, it will be necessary to press the Filter

FOOD STORAGE iDEAS

Fresh Food Storage

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

Fruits and Vegetables o Storage in the crisper drawers traps moisture to heUppreserve the fruit and vegetaMe quality for Uongertime periods,

Meat

• Raw meat and pouUtryshouUdbe wrapped secu reUyso Ueakageand contamination of other foods or surfaces does not

Occur,

Frozen Food Storage

o The freezer compartment shouUdbe kept at 0° F or Uower,

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

Tominimize dehydration and quality deterioration, use aUuminum 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),

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 no1place 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,
