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.
• Under certain rare circumstances, ice cubes may be discolored, usually appearing with a green-bluish 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.

• 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 icemaker operation to assure system is flushed of impurities.
• 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.
• 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 an extended period of time.

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.
RReemmoovvaall aanndd IInnssttaallllaattiioonn
IInniittiiaall IInnssttaallllaattiioonn The water filter is located in the upper right hand corner of the fresh food compartment.
• Remove blue bypass cap and retain for later use.
• Remove sealing label from end of filter and insert into filter head.
• Rotate gently clockwise until filter stops. Snap filter cover closed.
• 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 two­minute delay in water dispensing to allow internal water tank to fill.
• Additional flushing may be required in some households where water is of poor quality.

• The refrigerator should be kept between 34°-40° F (1°-4° C) with an optimum temperature of 38° F (3.3° 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 control as explained on page 5.
• Avoid overcrowding the refrigerator shelves. This reduces the circulation of air around the food and results in uneven cooling.

• Storage in the produce drawers traps humidity to help preserve the fruit and vegetable quality for longer time periods (see page 11).
• 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.
• 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.
MMeeaatt aanndd CChheeeessee
• 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.
DDaaiirryy FFoooodd
• 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.

• 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 5.

• 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).
• Wrap fresh meats and poultry with suitable freezer wrap prior to
freezing.
• Do not refreeze meat that has completely thawed.
LLooaaddiinngg tthhee FFrreeeezzeerr
• 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 27 and 28 for approximate storage times.

• 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.
• Clean door gaskets every three months according to cleaning instructions. This will assure that door seals properly and refrigerator runs efficiently.

• Monitor water connection for 24 hours and correct leaks, if necessary.
For dispenser models, run water through the dispenser for at least three minutes with the filter bypass in place, then install water filter (see page
20).
• After installing the water filter, run water through the dispenser continuously for at least two minutes, or until water runs steady. Initially you may notice a one to two minute delay in water dispersal as the internal tanks fills.
• Restart the ice maker by lowering the ice maker arm.
• Discard ice produced within the first 12 hours (at least the first three harvests).

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.
