Automatic Ice Maker
Connect the ice maker to the water supply as
instructed on page 9. Proper water flow and a level
refrigerator are essential for optimal ice maker
performance.
Operating Instructions
• Confirm ice bin is in place and ice
maker arm is down.
• After freezer section reaches
between 0° to 2° F (-18° to -17° C),
ice maker fills with water and
begins operating. You will have a
complete harvest of ice approximately every three
hours.
• Allow approximately 24 hours after installation to
receive first harvest of ice.
• Discard ice created within first 12 hours of operation
to assure system is flushed of impurities.
• Turn off (arm up) the ice maker when the water
supply is to be shut off for several hours.
To Remove the Ice Bin:
• Pull it forward, away from the ice maker. To avoid the
ice maker dumping ice while the bin is removed, turn
the ice maker off by raising the icemaker arm.
To Install the Ice Bin:
• Reverse the above procedure. Turn the ice maker on
by lowering the ice maker arm.
WARNING
To avoid personal injury or property damage,
observe the following:
• Do not place fingers or hands on the automatic ice
making mechanism while the refrigerator is
plugged in. This will help protect you from possible
injury. It will also prevent interference with moving
parts of the ejector mechanism and the heating
element that releases the cubes.
• Stop ice production by raising ice maker arm until
click is heard.
• Ice maker will remain in the off position until arm is
pushed down.
• The first one or two batches will probably contain
undersized and irregular cubes because of air in the
supply line.
• When the ice cubes are ejected it is normal for
several cubes to be joined together at the ends. They
can easily be broken apart. The ice maker will
continue to make ice until the supply of ice cubes
raises the ice maker arm, shutting the ice maker off.
• Certain sounds may accompany the various cycles of
the ice maker. The motor may have a slight hum, the
cubes will rattle as they fall into an empty storage
pan and the water valve may click or “buzz”
occasionally.
• If the ice is not used frequently, the ice cubes will
become cloudy, shrink, stick together and taste stale.
Empty the ice storage bin periodically and wash it in
lukewarm water. Be sure to dry the bin thoroughly
before replacing it.
• Under certain rare circumstances, ice cubes may
be discolored, usually appearing with a greenbluish hue. The cause of this unusual discoloration
can be a combination of factors such as certain
characteristics of local waters, household
plumbing and the accumulation of copper salts in
an inactive water supply line which feeds the ice
maker. Continued consumption of such discolored
ice cubes may be injurious to health. If such
discoloration is observed, discard the ice cubes
and contact your dealer to purchase and install a
water line filter.
• Water damage due to improper water connection
may cause mold/mildew growth.
• Clean up water and ice spills to avoid personal
injury and to prevent mold/mildew growth.
Water Dispenser
The Water Dispenser is located on
the left side wall of the fresh food
section. This design is for cold water
dispensing only.
• Beverages and foods should not be placed in the ice
storage bin for quick chilling. These items can block
the ice maker arm, causing the ice maker to
malfunction.
To Dispense Water:
• Hold container under spout and
press dispenser pad.

Removal and Installation
WARNING
To avoid serious illness or death, do not use
refrigerator where water is unsafe or of unknown
quality without adequate disinfection before or after
use of filter.
CAUTION
After installing a new water filter, always
dispense water for two minutes before
removing the filter for any reason. Air trapped in
system may cause water and cartridge to eject.
Use caution when removing.
• The bypass cap does not filter water. Be sure to
have replacement cartridge available when filter
change is required.
• If water filtration system has been allowed to
freeze, replace filter cartridge.
• If system has not been used for several months, or
water has an unpleasant taste or odor, flush
system by dispensing two to three glasses of
water. If unpleasant taste or odor persists, change
filter cartridge. If system has not been use for
three months or more, replace water filter
cartridge.
Initial Installation
The water filter is located in the
upper right hand corner of the fresh
food compartment.
1. Remove blue bypass cap and
retain for later use.
3. Rotate gently clockwise until filter stops. Snap filter
cover closed.
4. Reduce water spurts by flushing air from system.
Run water continuously for two minutes through
dispenser until water runs steady. During initial
use, allow about a one- to two-minute delay in
water dispersal to allow internal water tank to fill.
• Additional flushing may be required in some
households where water is of poor quality.
Replacing Water Filter
IMPORTANT: Air trapped in system may cause
water and cartridge to eject. Always dispense
water for two minutes before removing the filter
for any reason. Use caution when removing.
1. Turn filter counterclockwise until it releases from
filter head.
2. Drain water from filter into sink, and dispose of
filter in normal household trash.
3. Wipe up excess water in filter cover and continue
with Initial Installation, steps 2 through 4.
The filter should be changed at least every 12 months.
Important: Condition of water and amount used
determines life span of water filter cartridge. If water
use is high, or if water is of poor quality, replacement
may need to take place more often.
To purchase a replacement water filter ca r tridge,
call 1-800-JENNAIR (1-800-536-6247) U.S.A. and
Canada.
The dispenser feature may be used without a water
filter cartridge. If you choose this option, replace filter
with blue bypass cap.
2. Remove sealing label from end of
filter and insert into filter head.

Fresh Food Storage
• The fresh food compartment of a refrigerator should
be kept between 34°-40° F (1°- 4° C) with an
optimum temperature of 37° F (3° C). To check the
temperature, place an appliance thermometer in a
glass of water and place in the center of the
refrigerator. Check after 24 hours. If the temperature
is above 40° F (4° C) adjust the controls as explained
on pages 10-12.
• 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 humidity to help
preserve the fruit and vegetable quality for longer
time periods (see page 14).
• Sort fruits and vegetables before storage and use
bruised or soft items first. Discard those showing
signs of decay.
• Always wrap odorous foods such as onions and
cabbage so the odor does not transfer to other foods.
Frozen Food Storage
• The freezer compartment of a refrigerator should be
kept at approximately 0° F (-18° C). To check the
temperature, place an appliance thermometer
between the frozen packages and check after 24
hours. If the temperature is above 0° F (-18° C),
adjust the control as described on pages 10-12.
• A freezer operates more efficiently when it is at least
two-thirds 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 be sure they are tightly sealed. Trapped
air can cause the food to dry out, change color and
develop an off-flavor (freezer burn).
• Overwrap fresh meats and poultry with suitable
freezer wrap prior to freezing.
• Do not refreeze meat that has completely thawed.
Loading the Freezer
• While vegetables need a certain amount of humidity
to remain fresh, too much humidity can shorten
storage times (especially leafy vegetables). Drain
vegetables well before storing.
• Wait to wash fresh produce until right before use.
Meat and Cheese
• Raw meat and poultry should be wrapped securely
so leakage and contamination of other foods or
surfaces does not occur.
• Occasionally mold will develop on the surface of
hard cheeses (Swiss, Cheddar, Parmesan). Cut off at
least an inch around and below the moldy area. Keep
your knife or instrument out of the mold itself. Do not
try to save individual cheese slices, soft cheese,
cottage cheese, cream, sour cream or yogurt when
mold appears.
Dairy Food
• Most dairy foods such as milk, yogurt, sour cream
and cottage cheese have freshness dates on their
cartons for appropriate length of storage. Store these
foods in the original carton and refrigerate
immediately after purchasing and after each use.
• 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 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 juice on the freezer door shelves. These
foods are best stored in the freezer interior where the
temperature varies less with door openings.
Refer to the Food Storage Chart on pages 21 and 22 for
approximate storage times.

Removing Odors From
Refrigerator
WARNING
To avoid electrical shock which can cause severe
personal injury or death, disconnect power to
refrigerator before cleaning. After cleaning,
reconnect power.
1. Remove all food and turn the refrigerator OFF.
2. Disconnect power to the refrigerator.
3. Clean the walls, floor, ceiling of cabinet interior,
drawers, shelves and gaskets according to the
instructions on page 23.
4. Dilute mild detergent and brush solution into
crevices using a plastic bristle brush. Let stand for
5 minutes. Rinse surfaces with warm water. Dry
surfaces with a soft, clean cloth.
5. Wash and dry all bottles, containers and jars.
Discard spoiled or expired items.
6. Wrap or store odor-causing foods in tightly sealed
containers to prevent recurring odors.
7. Reconnect power to refrigerator and return food to
refrigerator.
8. Allow the refrigerator to cool.
9. After 24 hours, check if odor has been eliminated.
If odor is still present:
Energy Saving Tips
• Avoid overcrowding refrigerator shelves.
Overcrowding reduces air circulation around food
and causes refrigerator to run longer.
• Avoid adding too much warm food to refrigerator at
one time. This overloads compartments and slows
rate of cooling.
• Do not use aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper
toweling as shelf liners. This decreases air flow and
causes refrigerator to run less efficiently.
• A freezer that is two-thirds full runs most efficiently.
• Locate refrigerator in coolest part of room. Avoid
areas of direct sunlight, or near heating ducts,
registers or other heat producing appliances. If this is
not possible, isolate exterior by using a section of
cabinet or an added layer of insulation.
• Clean door gaskets every three months according to
cleaning instructions. This will assure that door seals
properly and refrigerator runs efficiently.
• Take time to organize items in refrigerator to reduce
time that door is open.
• Be sure your doors are closing securely by leveling
refrigerator as instructed in your installation
instructions.
• Clean condenser coils as indicated in the cleaning
instructions every three months. This will increase
energy efficiency and cooling performance.
1. Remove drawers and place on top shelf of
refrigerator.
2. Pack refrigerator and freezer sections – including
doors – with crumpled sheets of black and white
newspaper.
3. Place charcoal briquettes randomly on crumpled
newspaper in both freezer and refrigerator
compartments.
4. Close doors and let stand 24 to 48 hours.

Preparing for Vacation
CAUTION
If your refrigerator has a dispenser and if there is
any possibility that the temperature can drop below
freezing where the refrigerator is located, the water
supply system (including the water tank and the
water valve) must be drained by a qualified servicer.
For short vacations or absences (three months or
less):
1. Remove all perishables.
2. If no one will be checking in on the refrigerator
during your absence, remove all frozen items also.
3. If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker:
• Shut off the water supply to the ice maker at least
one day ahead of time.
• After the last load of ice drops, raise the wire shut
off arm to the OFF position.
• Empty the ice bin.
Upon your return
After a short vacation or absence:
For models with automatic ice makers or dispensers:
• Reconnect the water supply and turn on supply valve
(see page 9).
• Monitor water connection for 24 hours and correct
leaks if necessary.
• Run 10-15 glasses of water from the dispenser to
flush out the system.
• Restart the ice maker by lowering the ice maker arm.
• Discard at least the first three ice harvests.
After a long vacation or absence:
• Reconnect the water supply and turn on supply valve
(see page 9).
• Plug the refrigerator back in and reset controls (see
pages 10-12).
• Monitor water connection for 24 hours and correct
leaks, if necessary.
4. If the room temperature will drop below 55° F
(13° C), follow the instructions for longer absences.
For long vacations, absences (more than three
months) OR if the room temperature will drop below
55º F (13° C):
1. Remove food.
2. If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker:
• Shut off the water supply to the ice maker at least
one day ahead of time.
• After the last load of ice drops, raise the wire shut
off arm to the OFF position.

PERATING
Improvements in refrigeration design may produce sounds in your new refrigerator that are different or were not
present in an older model. These improvements were made to create a refrigerator that is better at preserving food,
is more energy efficient, and is quieter overall. Because new refrigerators run quieter, sounds may be detected that
were present in older refrigerators, but were masked by higher sound levels. Many of these sounds are normal.
Please note that the surfaces adjacent to a refrigerator, such as hard walls, floors and cabinetry may make these
sounds seem even louder. The following are some of the normal sounds that may be noticed in a new refrigerator.
