About ClimateKeeper2. TM (onsomemodds)
How it Works
The ClimateKeeper2 TMis the industry's most advanced refrigeration system, delivering
optimum temperature and humidity performance to keep food garden fresh longer
and reduce freezer burn, The ClimateKeeper2 _ system features two
evoporotors--one for the refrigerotor ond one for the freezer,
This provides two separate cooling systems, and separates the airflow between the fresh
food and freezer compartments during normal cooling operations,*
This ensures that the humidity levels in the fresh food compartment are significantly higher
than in a conventional system,** allowing fresh produce and other unsealed foods to retain
their moisture content and freshness longer, Moisture sensitive foods such as fresh fruit,
salads, rice, etc,, can now be stored on open shelves without excessive moisture loss,
Due to the higher humidity in the refrigerator,
you may on occasion experience fog or
small amounts of moisture in the refrigerator compartment, This is normal and may
come and go as different food loads and environmental conditions change, Wipe dry
with a paper towel if desired, The separate airflow system minimizes the
mixing of air between the two compartments,
which reduces fresh food odor transfer to
improve the taste of ice,
The ClimateKeeper2 _system also reduces the number of defrosting cycles in the freezer
evaporator, thereby reducing freezer burn,
*Freezer air is used in the CustomCool feature, **Testing shows a higher level of humidity in
the Fresh Food section in ClimateKeeper2 _ refrigerators versus conventional units,

About the automatic ice maker.
A newly installed refrigerator may take 72 to 24 hours to begin making ice.
Automatic Ice maker
The ice maker will produce seven cubes per cycle- approximately 100-130 cubes in a 24-hour period, depending
on freezer compartment temperature, room temperature, number of door openings and other use conditions.
If the refrigerator is operated before the water connection is made to the ice maker, set the power switch in the OFFposition.
When the refrigerator has been connected to the water supply, set the power switch to the ONposition.
The ice maker will fill with water when it cools to 15°F (-10°C). A newly installed refrigerator may take 12 to 24 hours to begin
making ice cubes. You will hear a buzzing sound each time the ice maker 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.
When the bin fills to the level of the feeler arm, the ice maker will stop producing ice. It is normal for several cubes to bejoined
together. If ice is not used frequently, old ice cubes will become cloudy,
taste stale and shrv
Avoid contact with the moving parts of
the ejector mechanism, or with the heating element (located on the bottom of the ice maker) that releases the cubes.
Do not place fingers or hands on the automatic ice making mechanism while the refrigerator is plugged in.
Special note about dispenser models:
....Some models have a tilt-out ice bin. The bin can be tilted out
as shown in the illustrations, and it will hold itself up while you
take ice out or turn the ice maker power switch on and off. Be
sure to put the bin back in place before closing the door.
....To restore your ice level from an empty bucket stage, the
following steps are recommended:
O 12 hours afiLerthe first batch of ice has fallen into the bin,
dispense 3 to 4 cubes.
O After an additional 6 hours, dispense 3 to 4 cubes again. These steps will restore your ice level in the shortest amount of

Important Facts About Your Dispenser
Do not add ice from trays or bags to the storage drawer, It may not crush or dispense well,
Avoid overfilling glass with ice and use of narrow glasses, Backed-up ice can jam
the chute or cause the door in the chute to freeze shut, If ice is blocking the chute,
poke it through with a wooden spoon, Beverages and foods should not be
quick-chilled in the ice storage drawer, Cans, bottles or food packages in the storage drawer may cause the ice maker or auger to jam,
To keep dispensed ice from missing the glass, put the glass close to, but not touching, the dispenser opening,
Some crushed ice may be dispensed even though you selected CUBED, This happens occasionally when a few cubes accidentally get directed to the crusher,
After crushed ice is dispensed, some water may drip from the chute,
Sometimes a small mound of snow will
form on the door in the ice chute, This
condition is normal and usually occurs
when you have dispensed crushed ice
repeatedly, The snow will eventually eva porate,
