If the ice is not used frequently, the ice cubes will
become cloudy, shrink, stink together and taste stale.
Empty the ice storage bm periodically and wash it m
lukewarm wateE Be sure to dry the bin thoroughly
before replacing tt.
Beverages and foods should not be placed in the ice
storage bin for quick chllhng. These items can block
the sensor arm, causing the ice maker to
nlalfunctlon.
• Turn off (armup)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

To avoid personal injury or property damage,
observe the following:
• Do not place fingers or hands on tile automatic ice
making mechanmm while the refrigerator is
plugged m. Thin will help protect you from possible
injury. It will also prevent interference with mowng
parts of the ejector mechanmm and the heating
element that releases the cubes.
• Stop ice production by raising ice maker arm until
click is heard.
, Ice maker wHI remain m the OFF position until arm is
pushed down.
• The first one or two batches will probably contain
undersized and irregular cubes because of air Illthe
supply hne.
• 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
rames the sensor arm, shutting the me maker off.
• Certain sounds may accompany the various cycles of
the ice nlaker. The motor may have a shght hunl, the

• Under certain rare circumstances, ice cubes may
be discolored, usually appeanng with a green-
blumh hue. The cause of thin unusual dmcolorat_on
can be a combination of factors such as certain
charactenstlcs of local waters, household
plumbing and the accumulation of copper salts m
an mactwe water supply ime whmh feeds the Ice
maker. Continued consumption of such discolored
ice cubes may be injurious to heaitll. If such
dmcoloratlon is observed, discard the ice cubes
and contact your dealer to purchase and install a
water line filter.
• Water damage due to H_proper water connection
may cause mold/mildew growth.
• Clean up water and me spills to avoid personal
injury and to prevent mold/mildew growth.

StoregeTips
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 8 and 9.
* 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 12}.
• 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 8 and 9.
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 22 and 23
for approximate storage times.

Energy Saving Tips
• Avoid overcrowding refrigerator shelves. This 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.

Operuti, Sounds
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 units run quieter, sounds may be detected that were
present in older units, 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.
Clicking * Freezer control CADclicks when starting or * Normal operation
