TDM System (Time-Divided-Multi-Evaporator system)
• Each compartment has an evaporator, microprocessors and a refriger-
ant-control-valve to control the refrigeration cycle. The 4 evaporators
enable improved efficiency and humidity in the fridge. Food odor from
the refrigerator does not affect food in other compartments because
the cooler and air flow systems are separate.
Multi-Flow System
• Cool air circulates through multiple vents on every shelf level.This pro-
vides even distribution of cooling inside cabinets to keep your food
fresh longer.
Door Alarm
• Beeper reminds you that the door is open.
Xtra FreshTM
• Optimized humidity control keeps vegetables & fruits fresh.
Arctic Select ZoneTM Drawer
• Arctic Select Zone Drawer can be changed from a freezer to

clear air from the lines.
3) Additional flushing may be required in some households.
4) Open the fridge door and check if water leaks around the
water filter.
NOTE
• A newlyqnstalled water filtercartridge may Causewater to briefly spurt from the dispenserl
Check the amount of water supplied to the ice tray.
1) To remove : Set the type of ice to the "Ice Off" position. Lift up
(L#)and pull out (@)the ice bucket in the freezer.
To replace :When replacing the drawer, be sure to press it firm-
ly into place. If it does not go all the way back, remove it and

Be sure nothing interferes with the sweep of the feeler arm.
When the bin fills to the level of the feeler arm, the icemaker will
stop producing ice.
It is normal for several cubes to be joined
together.
If ice is not used frequently, old ice cubes will
become cloudy, taste stale and shrink.

3) Important Facts About Your Dispenser :
Do not add ice from trays or bags to the storage bin. It may not crush or dispense well.
Avoid overfilling glass with ice and use of narrow or extra-tall glasses. Backed-up ice can jam the
chute or cause the door inthe 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 bin.
To keep dispensed ice from missing the glass, put the glass close to, but not touching, the dis-
penser opening.
Some crushed ice may be dispensed even though you selected CUBES. 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.
4) Water Supply to the Icemaker :
The icemaker must be connected to a cold water line.
Start the Icemaker :
5)
Set the type of ice to the "Cubed Ice" or "Crushed Ice" position. The icemaker will not begin to oper-
ate until it reachs its operating of 10.4°F(-12°C) or below. It will then begin operation automatically if
the type of ice is in the "Cubed Ice" or "Crushed Ice" position.
• !f there is nowater supplyl turnoff the icemaker to save energy:
• Inlower water pressure conditions, the water valve may turn on upto 3 times to make sure enough
water reaches the icemaker.
•Allow the appliance to stand for 2hours after installation.
WARNING
Use only the ice maker provided with the refrigerator.
