Abouttheautomaticicemaker.

A newly-installed refrigerator may take 12-24 hours to begin making ice.

Power Switch

Green PowerLight

Icemaker

Automatic Icemaker (on some models)

The icemaker will produce seven cubes per cycle--approximately 100-130 cubes

in a 24-hour period, depending on fl'eezer COlltpat'tlllent teillpei'attli'e, i'OOill temperature, number of door openings

and other use conditions.

If the refl'igerator is operated before the

water connection is made to the icemaker,

set the power switch in the O position.

When the refl'igerator has been connected

to the water supply, set the power switch to the I position.

The icemaker will fill with water when it cools to fl'eezing. A newly-installed

refl'igerator may take ] 2 to 24 hotu_ to begin making ice cubes.

You will hear a buzzing sound each time the

icemaker fills with water.

Throw away the first few batches of ice to allow the water line to clear.

Be sure nothing interferes with the sweep of the feeler arm.

It is normal for several cubes to be joined together.

If ice is not used fl'equently, old ice cubes will become cloudy; taste stale and shrink. If the

ice cubes become stuck in the icemaker, ttlrn off the icemakei; remove the cubes and turn

the icemaker back on.

There is an upper freezer shelf above flTeicemaker that can be

used for storage.

WARNING: Connect topotable water supply onl_ Installation of the icemaker must be

done by a qualified service technician.

X,_hen the bin fills to the lexel of the feeler

arm, the icemaker will stop producing ice.

Important Facts About YourDispenser

_: Do not add ice ti'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>ods should not be quick-

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

ca use tile icemaker or a user to jam.

_: Some cHlshed ice may be dispensed even

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

have been lett in the c_usher.

_: Af*er crashed ice is dispensed, some water

may drip fl'om tile chute.

iJi::Sometimes a small molmd of snow will

fiwm 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.

Normal operatingsounds.

Newer refrigerators sound different from older refrigerators.

Modem refrigerators have more features and use newer

technology.

Do you hear what I hear? These sounds are normal.

HUMMM...

--WHOOSH...

• The new high eflicienc) compressor ma) Hm faster

and hmger than wmr old refl'igerator and wm may hear a high-i)itched hum or pulsating sound while

it is operating.

• Sometimes tile refligeramr runs tot an extended period,

especially when the doo_ are opened fl'equently. This means that the Frost Guard_"feature is working to

prevent fl'eezer burn and improve tood preservation.

• You may hear a whooshing sound when the (loo_ close.

This is due to pressure equalizing within tile reli-igerato_:

CLICKS, POPS,

CRACKS and CHIRPS

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

refl'igerator is first i)lugged in. This hai)pens as tile 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 ininutes).

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

COIlll) OIleIltS.

• Expansion and contraction of cooling coils during and after deii'ost can cause 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 tile tans spinning at high speeds.

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

a large anlount of tood is added to the refrigerator or freezer compartments. The tans are helping to

maintain the correct temperatures.

• If either door is open fin" over 3 minutes, you may hear the tans come on in order to cool the light

bulbs.

• The fans 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,

• _'lteI" dropping on the defl'ost heater can cause a sizzling, I)oI)ping or buzzing sotmd dm'ing tile

defl'ost cvcle.

• A water dripping noise may occm" dm'ing tile defl'ost cycle as ice melts fl'om tile evaporator and flows into

tile drain pan.

• Closing tile door mav cause a gurgling sound due to pressure equalization.

For Australian and New Zealand installation, read these instructions completely and carefully.

Before You Begin

::_IMPORTANT" Government legislation and Codes

in most States and Territories of Australia require installation bv a licensed plmnber.

Tile installation must conflmn to Australian

Standard AS 3500.1 _._ater suppl>

};_Water hammer (water banging in tile pipes)

in house phunbing can cause danlage to tile refl'igerator parts and lead to water leakage or

flooding. Call a qualified plmnber to correct

water hammer betore installing the water supply

line to the refl'igerator

Shut Off the Main Water Supply

For models fitted with an icemake_; a water supply

kit (containing flexible tubing and fittings) is

supplied with tile refl'igerator.

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

Turn Of/the water and open a low tap to drain tile water from tile pipe.

Complying with tile plmnbing codes, install a suitable branch fitting (not supplied) to the

cold water supply:

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 supplied).

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 tile water line to tile hot water line.

i(;]f you use your refrigerator before connecting tile

water line, make sure the icemaker power switch

is set to tile 0 position.

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

tile temperatm'es fall below fl'eezing.

If wmr water supply pressure is higher than 690 kPa during tile day (if so, it may reach higher levels at

night), install a suitable Pressure limiting wflve (not supplied), alter tile shutoff wflve, making sm'e tile "flow arrows" on tile body of tile device tace tile

same direction as tile water flow.

If necessary, assemble a suitable fitting (not supplied) to the upstream end of the shutoffwflve

(or pressm'e limiting wflve) fin" attachment of the

fitting supplied with the water supply kit. NOTE: PTFE tape should be used tor a watertight

seal when assembling all the above fittings.
