er Driver

• 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.

• Beverages and foods should not be placed in the ice storage bin for quick chilling. These items can

cause the ice maker to malfunction.

• Press the switch on the ice maker front to OFF when the water supply is to be shut off for several hours.

Operating Instructions

• Confirm ice bin is in place.

• 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 hour.

• Allow approximately 3 to 6 hours after installation to receive first harvest of ice.

• Discard ice created within the first 12 hours of operation to verify system is flushed of impurities.

• Stop ice production by pressing the ON/OFF switch located on the front of the ice maker.

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 bin and the water valve may click or "buzz" occasionally.

FoodStorogeTips

Fresh Food Storage

• The fresh food compartment of a refrigerator should

be kept between 340-40 ° 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 fresh food compartment. Check after 24 hours. If the

temperature is above 40° F (4° C) adjust the controls as explained on page 10.

• Avoid overcrowding the fresh food 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 17). Sort fruits and vegetables before storage and use

bruised or soft items first. Discard those showing signs of decay.

Dairy Food

For milk and cream, store in the Temperature Controlled Beverage Chiller which is designed to maintain a lower temperature for optimum freshness

and life. 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.

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 page 10.

A freezer operates more efficiently when it is at least

two-thirds full.

• Always wrap odorous foods such as onions and cabbage so the odor does not transfer to other foods.

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

Storage in Wide-N-Fresh TM drawer helps preserve quality for longer time periods.

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.

De net try to save individual cheese slices, soft cheese, cottage cheese, cream, sour cream or yogurt when mold appears.

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

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.

Refer to the Food Storage Chart on pages 20 and 21 for approximate storage times.

Removing Odors

from Refrigerator

Remove all food and turn the refrigerator off.

Disconnect power to the refrigerator.

Clean the walls, floor, ceiling of cabinet interior, drawers, shelves and gaskets according to the instructions on page 22.

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.

Wash and dry all bottles, containers and jars. Discard spoiled or expired items.

Wrap or store odor-causing foods in tightly sealed containers to prevent recurring odors.

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.

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 according to the instructions on page 4.

Clean condenser coils as indicated in the cleaning instructions every three months. This will increase energy efficiency and cooling performance.

If Odor is Still Present:

Remove drawers and place on top shelf of refrigerator.

Pack fresh food and freezer sections - including doors - with crumpled sheets of black and white

newspaper.

Place charcoal briquettes randomly on crumpled newspaper in both freezer and fresh food

compartments.

4. Close doors and let stand 24 to 48 hours.

OperutingSounds

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.
