USE
• Before carrying out any maintenance or cleaning
operation, unplug the appliance or disconnect it
from the power supply.
• All appliances equipped with an ice-maker and
water dispenser must be connected to a water
supply that delivers drinking water with a mains
water pressure of between 0.24 and 0.83MPa
(2.4 and 8.3 bar / 35 and 120 PSI). Ice-makers
and/or water dispensers not directly connected
to the water supply must be filled with drinking
water only.

The controls are located at the top front of the refrigerator compartment.
Control
Initial Control Settings
After plugging the refrigerator in, set the controls.
• Pressing the or pads adjusts the controls to the desired setting.
• The temperature control range for both compartments is 1 through 7 (coldest).
• Set the Freezer control on 4.
• Set the Refrigerator control on 4.
• Let the refrigerator run at least 8 to 12 hours before adding food.
Warm Cabinet Surfaces
At times, the front of the refrigerator cabinet may be warm to the touch. This is a normal occurrence that
helps prevent moisture from condensing on the cabinet. This condition will be more noticeable when you
first start the refrigerator, during hot weather and after excessive or lengthy door openings.
Adjusting the Controls
• 24 hours after adding food, you may decide that one or both compartments should be colder or
warmer. If so, adjust the control(s) as indicated in the Temperature Control Guide table below.
• Except when starting the refrigerator, do not change either control more than one number at a time.
• Allow 24 hours for temperatures to stabilize.
Temperature Control Guide
Touch Temperature Controls (select models)
Refrigerator too warm Set the Refrigerator control to next higher number by
pressing the pad.
Refrigerator too cold Set the Refrigerator control to next lower number by
pressing the pad.
Freezer too warm Set the Freezer control to next higher number by pressing
the pad.
Freezer too cold Set the Freezer control to next lower number by pressing
the pad.
Turn control OFF Press the Refrigerator or freezer pad until a dash (—)
appears in the display.
Water Dispenser
If you did not flush the water system when the refrigerator was first installed,
dispense water into a container until you draw 8 to 12 L (2 to 3 gal.) or for
approximately 6 to 7 minutes after the water begins dispensing and discard.
The water you draw and discard will rinse out the pipes. Allow several hours
for the refrigerator to cool down and chill the water.
Dispensing Water
1. Hold a container under the dispenser while pressing the button.
2. Release the button to stop dispensing.
NOTE: Dispense enough water every week to maintain a fresh supply.
User preferences
The control centre allows you to set user preferences, if desired.

Automatic Ice Maker
Connect the ice maker to the water supply as
instructed. Proper water flow and a level
refrigerator are essential for optimal ice
maker performance.
Ice Maker Operation
• To turn on the ice maker,
push the metal arm down
from locked position.
• Lift the arm up and lock
into position to turn off
the ice maker.
Operating Instructions
• Confirm the ice bin is in place and that the ice
maker arm is in the down position.
• After freezer section reaches between -17° to 18°C (2° to 0°F), ice maker fills with water and
begins operating. You will have a complete
batch of ice approximately every three hours.
• Allow approximately 24 hours after installation
to receive the first batch of ice.
• Discard any ice created within the first 12 hours
of operation to ensure the ice is free of any
impurities.
• Ice production can be stopped by raising the ice
maker arm until a gentle click is heard.
• The ice maker will remain in the off position
until the arm is pushed down.
• The first one or two batches of ice may contain
undersized and irregular cubes. This is due to
air being in the supply line. This will disappear.
• When the ice cubes are ejected it is usual for
several cubes to be joined together at the ends.
These are easily broken apart. The ice maker
will continue to make ice until the supply of ice
cubes in the ice storage bin raises the ice maker
arm, shutting the ice maker off.
• Certain sounds may accompany the various ice
maker cycles. The motor may hum, ice cubes
will rattle as they fall into an empty storage pan
and the water valve may click or “buzz”
occasionally. This is entirely normal.
• If the supply of ice cubes is not used frequently,
the ice will become cloudy, shrink, stick
together and taste ‘stale’. If this happens discard
the entire contents of the ice storage bin and
wash the bin in lukewarm water. Be sure to dry
the bin thoroughly before replacing it. The ice
storage bin should be emptied periodically to
ensure the ice is fresh.
• 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.
• 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
storage bin is removed, turn the ice maker off
by raising the ice maker arm.
To Install the Ice Storage Bin:
• Reverse the above procedure. Then turn on the
ice maker by lowering the ice maker arm.
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.
To Dispense Water:
• Hold a container under the
spout and press the
dispenser pad.
