Important Facts About Your Dispenser

_: Do not add ice fi'om trays or bags to

tile storage bin. It may not crush or dispense well.

_: A\'oid overfilling glass with ice and use

of narrow glasses. Backed-up ice can jam the chute or cause the door in the chute

to fl'eeze shut. If ice is blocking the chute, poke it through with a wooden spoon.

iJi::Beverages and ti)o(ls should not be quick-

chilled in the ice storage bin. Cans, bottles or food packages in tile storage bin may

ca use tile icemaker or auger to jam.

_: Some cHlshed ice may be dispensed even

though you selected CUBED ICE.This happens occasionally when a few cubes

have been lett in the c_usher.

_: Atter crashed ice is dispensed, some water

may drip fl'om tile chute.

iJi::Sometimes a small molmd of snow will

ti)rm on tile door in tile ice chute. This condition is normal and usually occm's

when you have dispensed crushed ice repeatedly. Tile snow will eventually

evaporate.

CAUTION: Someproducts such as water ices should

not be consumed too co/cL

Keep the outside clean. Wipe with a clean cloth lightly dampened with kitchen

al)l)liance wax or mild liquid dish detergent. Dry and polish with a clean, soft cloth.

Do not w/_)ethe refngeretor with a soiled dish cloth or wet towel Thesemay leave aresidue that can

erode thepaint. Do not use scouring pads, powdered cleaners, bleach or cleaners contaimbg bleach because these products can scratch and weaken

the paint finish.

Tohelp prevent odors, leave an open box of

baking soda in the refl'igerator and ti'eezer

COIIll)_l I'tIIl e nts.

Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning If this

is not practical, wring excess illoisttlre ()tit of sponge or cloth when cleaning around

switches, lights or controls. Use warm water and baking soda solution--

about a tablespoon (l 5 ml) of baking soda to a quart (1 liter) of water. This both cleans

and neutralizes odors. Rinse and wipe dry.

AfiLer cleaning the door gaskets, apply a thin

laver of petrolemn.jelly to the door gaskets at the hinge side. This helps kee I) the gaskets

from sticking and bending out of shape.

Behind the Refrigerator

Be carehfl when moving the refrigerator away fl'om the wall. All tvl)es of floor

coverings can be damaged, particularly cushioned coverings and those with

eIl/bossed StlI'J[_l ces.

Pull the refrigerator straioht out and return it to position by, l)ushing, it ,straioht_ in.

Drain opening in freezer compartment. During yearly cleaning, remove bottom fl'eezer

basket and flush a solution of baking soda--

1 teaspoon (5 ml) and 2 cups (500 ml) of hot (not boiling) wate_ through the drain

line with the hel I) of a meat baster. This will hel I) eliminate odor and reduce the

likelihood of a clogged drain line. If drain becomes clogged, use a meat baster and

baking soda solution to force the clog through the drain line.

Avoid cleaning cold glass shelves with hot water because the extreme temperature difference may

cause them to break. Handle glass shelves carefuflg

Bumping tempered g/ass can cause it to shatter

Do not wash anyplastic refrigerator parts in

the dishwasher

Moving the refl'igerator in a side direction may result in damage to the floor covering

or refl'igerator.

When pushing the refngeretor back, make sure you

don't roll over the power cord or icemaker supply line (on somemodels).

Preparing for Vacation

For long vacations or absences, relllOVe food

and unl)lug the reli'igerator Move the freezer control to the 0 position, and clean the

interior with a baking soda soludon of one tablespoon (l 5 ml) of baking soda to one

qt:mrt (l liter) of water: I,eave the doors open.

Set the icemaker power switch to the 0position and shut off the water SUl)ply

to the refrigerator. If the temperature can drop below freezing,

have a qualified servicer drain the water SUl)ply system (on some models) to prevent

serious property damage due to flooding.

Preparing to Move

Secure all loose items such as grille, shelves and drawers by taping then_ securely in

[] CONNECT THE TUBING TO THE

REFRIGERATOR

NOTES:

• Befl}re making the connection to the refrigerator, be sure the refl-igerator power cord is not plugged into the wall outlet.

• We recommend installing a water filter if your

water sui)ply has sand or particles that could clog

the screen of the refl-igerator's water wdve. Install it in the water line near the refligerator.

Some models ha\e the refl'igerator comlection at the end of tubing located outside the compressor compartment access cover. On other models, the compressor compartment access cover must be removed in order to access file refl'ig_rator com_ection

at file water valve.

On models using the refl'igeratkm connection at the water valve, remove the plastic flexible cap.

HUMMM...

--WHOOSH...

• The new high efficiency compressor may Hm faster

and hmger than your old refl'igerator and you may hear a high-pitched hum or pulsating sound while

it is operating,

• Sometimes the reflJgerator runs fin" an extended period, especially when the doo_s are opened fl'equently: This

n]eans that the FrostGuard"feature is working to prevent fl'eezer bm'n and improve t0od preservation.

• 54m may hear a whooshing sound when the (loo_ close. This is due to pressure equalizing within the reli_igerato_:

CLICKS, POPS,

CRACKS and CHIRPS

• You may hear cracking or i)oi)ping sotmds when the

refl'igerator is first i)lugged in. This hal)pens as the

refrigerator cools to the correct tei/ll)erattlre.

• Electronic dampers click open and closed to provide optimal cooling and energy savings,

• The compressor may cause a clicking or chirping sotmd when attempting to restart (this could take

up to 5 minutes).

• The electronic control board may Catlse a clicking sound when relays activate to control refrigerator

coIIll) OI]eIltS,

• Expansion and contraction of cooling coils dm'ing and after deti'ost can Catlse a cracking or i_oi_ping

SOtlnd.

• On models with an icemake_; after an icemaking cycle, you may hear the ice cubes dropping into

the ice bucket.

WHIR./

• You may hear the rims spinning at high speeds.

This hal)pens when the refrigerator is first i)lugged in, when the doors are opened fl'equently or when

a large _llllOtlll[ of food is added to the refl'igerator or freezer comI)amnents. The rims are helping to

maintain the correct temperatures.

• If either door is open fin" over 3 minutes, you may

hear the rims come on in order to cool the light

bulbs.

• The £ms change speeds in order to provide optimal cooling and energy savings.

WATERSOUNDS

• The flow of refl'igerant through the fl'eezer cooling coils may make a gm'gling noise like boiling water.

• Water dropping on the defrost heater can cause a sizzling, i_oi_ping or buzzing sotmd dm'ing the

defl'ost cycle.

• A water dripping noise may occm" dm'ing the defrost cycle as ice melts from the evaporator and flows into

the drain pan.

• Ch)sing the door mav cause a gmgling sound due to pressure equalization.

line to the refl'igerator.

Shut Off the Main Water Supply

For models fitted with an icemake_, a water supplF

kit (containing flexible tubing and fittings) is

SUl)plied with the refl'igerator.

The water pressure must be between ] 38 and 827 kPa on models without a water filter ftted, and between 275 and 827 kPa on models with a water filter fitted.

Turn Offthe water and open a low tap to drain the water from the pipe.

Complying with the plmnbing codes, install a suitable branch fitting (not supl)lied ) to the

cold water SUl)ply:

Extend the branch to a suitable location a(!jacent to the refl'igerator when it is located in its operating

position. Terminate the branch with a shutoffwflve

(not sui)plied ) .

IMPORTANT"The shutoff wflve should be accessible

(such as in an ac!jacent cupboard, as close to the

wall as possible) when the refl'igerator is in its

normal operating position.

i_' To prevent bm'ns and refl'igerator damage, do

not hook up the water line to the hot water line.

i(;]f you rise Votlr refl'igerator before connecting the

water line, make sure the icemaker power switch

is set to the 0 position.

_:; Do not install the icemaker tubing in areas where

the temperatm'es fall below fl'eezing.
