Before you plug it in
Important
Before using your refrigerator, you are personally re-
sponsible for making sure that it...
• is installed and levelled on a floor that will hold
the weight, and in an area suitable for its size
and use.
• is connected only to the right kind of outlet, with
the right electrical supply and grounding. (Refer
to your "Electrical Requirements and Ground-
ing Instructions.")
• is used only for jobs expected of home refrig-
erators.
• is not near an oven, radiator or other heat
source.
• is properly maintained.
• is out of the weather.
• is used in an area where the room tempera-
ture will not fall below 55°C (13°C).
• is not used by those who may not under-
stand how it should be used.
• is not loaded with food before it has time to
get properly cold.
Install properly...
1. Allow 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) space on each side and at
the top of the refrigerator for ease of installation.
2. If the refrigerator is to be against a wall, you might
want to leave extra space so the door can be
opened wider.
3. The refrigerator back can be flush against the wall.

Power Saver Control...
The Power Saver Control on the Control Console
operates electric heaters around the door openings.
These heaters help keep moisture from forming on
the outside of the refrigerator.
1. Use the "CONSUMES LESS ENERGY" setting
when humidity is low.
2. Use the "REDUCES EXTERIOR MOISTURE"
setting if moisture forms on the outside of the re-
frigerator. The indicator light will glow when the
switch is in the "REDUCES EXTERIOR MOISTURE"
position.
Adjusting meat drawer temperature...
! USE CONTROL TO ADJUST

Cold water and ice dispenser...
FOR ICE:
Press a sturdy glass
against the ice dispenser bar.
(Pressure and tumbling ice
can break a fragile glass.)

dispensing.
The first few batches of ice
from the ice maker may have
a bad taste from new plumb-
ing and parts. Throw them
Press against Ice Dispenser Bar
FOR CHILLED WATER:
Press a sturdy glass
against the water dispenser
bar. (Pressure can break a
fragile glass.) Remove the
glass to stop dispensing.
Dispense enough water
every week to maintain a
fresh supply.
away.
The small tray beneath the dispenser is designed to evaporate small
spills. There is no drain in this tray. Do not pour water into it.
Ice is dispensed from the ice maker storage bin in
the freezer. When the dispenser bar is pressed, a
trapdoor opens in a chute between the dispenser and
the ice bin. Ice is moved from the bin and falls through
the chute. When the dispenser bar is released, a faint
buzzing sound may be heard for a few seconds.
Chilled water comes from a tank behind the meat
drawer. It holds about 50 ounces (1.5L).
When the refrigerator isfirst hooked up press the
water dispenser with a glass or jar until you have
drawn and discarded 2 or 3 quarts (1.9 to 2.8L).
The water you draw and discard will rinse the tank
and pipes.
Allow several hours to chill the first tankful.
NOTE: Large amounts of ice should be taken from the bin, not through the dispenser.
Common Problems
PROBLEM
Dispenser won't work.
Ice dispenser won't
work.
Ice dispenser stops
working.
Off-taste or
odour in ice.
CAUSE
Freezer door open.
Ice bin not properly installed.
Wrong ice in bin.
Ice dispenser bar held
in too long.
Ice attracts airborne odours.
Old ice.
Water quality.
Foods not properly wrapped.
Ice bin and freezer may need
cleaning.
Plumbing to ice maker.
New ice maker.
SOLUTION
• Close the freezer door.
• Make sure bin is pushed all the way in.
• Use only ice crescents from ice maker.
Other shapes won't dispense properly.
• Wait about 3 minutes for the dispenser
motor to reset.
• Large amounts of ice should be taken
from the bin, not through the dispenser.
• Use rapidly or store in covered container.
• Dump old ice and make new supply.
• Water containing minerals (such as sulfur)
may require a filter to remove.
• Wrap properly. See pages 13 and 14.
• Clean freezer and ice bin. See Cleaning
Chart on page 11.
• Follow installation instructions for proper
ice maker water supply hook-up.
• The first few loads of ice from a new ice maker
may have an off-taste. Dump ice and make
new supply.
TIPS
• The dispensers will work only with the freezer
door closed.
• The ice dispenser will work only if the bin is
pushed all the way in.
• Use only ice crescents from the ice maker.
Other shapes won't dispense properly.
• When you need more ice than a glass or two,
scoop it from the bin or remove the bin. The dis-
penser motor may stop if the dispenser bar is
held in too long. It will be ready to run again in
about 3 minutes.
• Ice stored too long can go stale...like water.
Throw it away.
Plan to remove and empty the storage bin:
• If the ice dispenser has not, or will not be used for a
week or more;
• If a power failure causes ice in the bin to melt and
freeze together;
• If the ice dispenser is not used regularly.
• Ice can shrink. Cold moving air slowly evapo-
rates them. If you use ice often, you may never
notice the change.
• Good water quality is important for good ice
quality. It is not recommended that the ice
maker be connected to a softened water supply.
Water softener chemicals such as salt from a
malfunctioning softener can damage the ice
maker mold ano lead to poor quality ice. If a
softened water supply cannot be avoided, then
it is important that the water softener be well
maintained and operating properly.
I
1. Pull the covering panel out from the bottom and
slide it to the rear.
2. Lift the signal arm so it clicks into the OFF posi-
tion. Ice can still be dispensed, but no more will be
made.
3. Lift the front of the storage bin. Pull it out.
4. Empty the bin. Use hot or warm water to melt the
ice if necessary. Never use anything sharp to
break up ice in the bin. This can damage the bin
and dispenser mechanism.
5. Wash with mild detergent. Rinse well. Do not use
harsh or abrasive cleansers or solvents.
6. When replacing the bin, make sure itis pushed
in all the way. Push the signal arm down to the
ON position to restart ice production.
Night Light Switch
The night light uses a heavy-duty 10-watt bulb. When
it burns out, purchase another from your dealer.
Sounds you may hear...
Your new refrigerator may make sounds that your old one didn't. Because
the sounds are new to you, you might be concerned about them. Don't be. Most
of the new sounds are normal. Hard surfaces like the floor, walls and cabinets
can make the sounds seem louder.
The following chart describes the kinds of sounds that might be new to you,
and what may be making them.
Possible Sounds: Probable Causes:
• Slight Hum, Soft Hiss: You may hear the refrigerator's fan motor and moving air.
• Clicking or Snapping The thermostat makes a definite clickwhen the refrigerator stops running.
Sounds: It also makes a sound when the refrigerator starts. The defrost timer will click
when the defrost cycle starts and stops.
•Water Sounds: When the refrigerator stops running, you may hear gurgling in the tubing for a
few minutes after it stops. You may also hear defrost water running into the
defrost water pan.
• Ice Maker Sounds: When the ice maker is running you may hear buzzing (from the water valve),
- trickling water trickling water and the clatter of ice dumped into the bin.
- thud (clatter of ice)
• Running Sounds: Your refrigerator has a high-efficiency compressor and motor. It will run longer
than older designs. It may even seem to run most of the time.
Energy saving tips...
You can help your refrigerator use less electricity.
=Check door gaskets for a tight seal. Level the
cabinet to be sure of a good seal.
• Clean the condenser coil regularly.
• Open the door as few times as possible. Think about
what you need before you open the door. Get
everything out at one time. Keep foods organized so
you won't have to search for what you want. Close
door as soon as food is removed.
"Go ahead and fill up the refrigerator, but don't over
crowd it so air movement is blocked.
• It is a waste of electricity to set the refrigerator and
freezer to temperatures colder than they need to be.
If ice cream is firm in the freezer and drinks are as
cold as your family likes them, that's cold enough.
• Keep the Power Saving Control on CONSUMES
LESS ENERGY unless moisture forms on refrigera-
tor exterior.
• Make sure your refrigerator is not next to a heat
source such as a range, water heater, furnace,
radiator or in direct sunlight.
Cleaning your
refrigerator
Both the refrigerator and freezer sections defrost
automatically. But both should be cleaned about once
a month to help prevent odours from building up. Of
course, spills should be wiped up right away.
To clean your refrigerator turn the Refrigerator
Control to OFF, unplug it, take out all removable parts
and clean it according to the following directions.
