AUTOMATIC ICE & WATER DISPENSER

Priming the water supply system

CAUTION: For proper dispenser operation, recommended water supply pressure should fall between 30 psi and 100 psi. Excessive pressure may cause the system to malfunction.

1. Begin filling the system by pressing and holding a drinking glass against the water dispenser paddle.
2. Keep the glass in this position until water comes out of the dispenser. It may take about 1^1⁄2 minutes.
3. Continue dispensing water for about four minutes to flush the system and plumbing connections of any impurities (stopping to empty the glass as necessary).

NOTE: The water dispenser has a built-in device that shuts off the water flow after three minutes of continuous use. To reset this shutoff device, simply release the dispenser paddle.

NOTE: Dispensed water is not chilled. For colder water, add ice to cup or container before dispensing water.

Ice maker operation & care

After the refrigerator is installed properly and has cooled for several hours, the ice maker can produce ice within 24 hours. The ice maker will fill the ice bin from the rear. You must dispense some ice to force the ice forward in the bin.
This will allow the bin to fill completely.

Ice Maker and Storage Bin Capacity

This ice maker should produce 2.0 to 2.5 pounds of ice per 24 hours. In a Standard Depth model, the ice bin will hold
about 6.5 pounds of ice. In a Counter Depth model, the ice bin will hold about 4 pounds of ice.

Turning the fresh food ice maker on and off

Ice production is controlled by the ice maker’s On/Off feature on the control panel. Pressing the On/Off feature turns the ice maker on & off.

IMPORTANT: Turning off the ice maker simply disables ice making. You will still be able to dispense existing ice, and you will still be able to dispense water.

NOTE: The ice maker also has a built-in plastic signal arm that automatically stops ice production when the ice bin is full. This signal arm should not be used to manually stop the ice maker.

Using the ice maker after installation

Before making ice for the first time, be sure to prime the water supply system. Air in new plumbing lines can result in two or three empty ice maker cycles. Furthermore, if the system is not flushed, the first ice cubes may be discolored or have an odd flavor.

IMPORTANT: Your ice maker is turned on at the factory so it can work as soon as you install your refrigerator. If you cannot connect a water supply, set the ice maker’s On/Off feature to Off; otherwise, the ice maker’s fill valve may make a loud chattering noise when it attempts to operate without water.

IMPORTANT: On occasion, unusually small ice cubes may be noticed in the bucket or in dispensed ice. This could occur in normal operation of the ice maker. If you start seeing these more frequently, it may be an indication of low water pressure or the water filter needs to be replaced. As the water filter nears the end of its useful life and becomes clogged with particles, less water is delivered to the ice maker during each cycle. Remember, if it’s been six months or longer since you last changed your water filter, replace the water filter with a new one. Poor quality household water may require the filter to be changed more frequently.

Ice maker/dispenser tips

• If your refrigerator is not connected to a water supply or the water supply is turned off, turn off the ice maker as described in the previous section.
• The following sounds are normal when the ice maker is operating:
  • Motor running
  • Ice dropping into ice bin
  • Water valve opening or closing
  • Running water
• If you need a large quantity of ice at one time, it is best to get cubes directly from the ice bin.
• Ice cubes stored too long may develop an odd flavor. Empty the ice bin as explained below.
• When dispensing cubed ice, it is normal to have a small quantity of little pieces along with the whole cubes.
• To avoid splashing, dispense ice into your container before adding liquids.
• It is normal for ice to fill to the top of the ice bin.

CAUTION! If the water supply to your refrigerator is softened, be sure the softener is properly maintained. Chemicals from a water softener can damage the ice maker.

Cleaning the ice maker

Clean the ice maker and ice bin at regular intervals, especially prior to vacation or moving.

1. Turn off the ice maker.
2. Remove the ice bin by pulling straight out.
3. Empty and carefully clean the ice bin with mild detergent. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners. Rinse with clear water.
   
4. Allow the ice bin to dry completely before replacing in the freezer.
5. Replace the ice bin. Turn the ice maker on.

Remove and empty the ice bin if:

• An extended power failure (one hour or longer) causes ice cubes in the ice bin to melt and refreeze together after power is restored, jamming the dispenser mechanism.
• You do not use the ice dispenser frequently. Ice cubes will freeze together in the bin, jamming the dispenser mechanism.

Remove the ice bin and shake to loosen the cubes or clean as explained above.

CAUTION! NEVER use an ice pick or similar sharp instrument to break up the ice. This could damage the ice bin and dispenser mechanism. To loosen stuck ice, use warm water. Before replacing the ice bin, make sure it is completely dry.

IMPORTANT: When removing or replacing the ice bin, avoid rotating the auger in the ice bin. If the auger is accidentally rotated, you must realign the auger by turning it in 45 degree turns (see below) until the ice bin fits into place with the drive mechanism. If the auger is not properly aligned when replacing the ice bin, the refrigerator will not dispense ice. The fresh food door also may not close properly causing warm air to leak into the fresh food compartment.

AUTOMATIC ICE MAKER - FREEZER (SELECT MODELS)

Operation & Care of the Freezer Ice Maker (select models)

After the refrigerator is installed properly, the ice maker can produce ice within 24 hours. When using the ice maker for the first time, and in order for it to work properly, it is necessary to clear air from the water tubing and the filter. Furthermore, if the system is not flushed, the first ice cubes may be discolored or have an odd flavor. Once the ice maker begins making ice, allow the bin to fill completely, then discard the first FULL bin of ice on a Standard Depth model, and the first TWO FULL bins of ice on a Counter Depth model.

Ice Maker and Storage Bin Capacity

This ice maker should produce between 2 and 2.5 pounds of ice per 24 hours depending on usage conditions. In a Standard Depth model, the ice bin will hold about 12 pounds of ice. In a Counter Depth model, the ice bin will hold about 7 pounds of ice.

IMPORTANT: Your ice maker is turned on at the factory so it can work as soon as you install your refrigerator. If you cannot connect a water supply, lift the ice maker’s wire signal arm to turn it off. Otherwise, the ice maker’s fill valve may make a loud chattering noise when it attempts to operate without water.

Turning the ice maker on and off

The ice maker is turned off and on by lifting/ lowering the ice maker’s wire signal arm. To gain access to the ice maker, pull the freezer drawer out. Lift the wire signal arm to turn the ice maker OFF and lower the wire signal arm to turn it ON.

Ice maker tips

• The following sounds are normal when the ice maker is operating:
  • Motor running
  • Ice dropping into ice bin
  • Water valve opening or closing
  • Running water
• Ice cubes stored too long may develop an odd flavor. Empty the ice bin as explained below.

Quick Freeze Function

Your refrigerator is equipped with a Quick Freeze Function for freezing food at a faster rate, but it can also increase ice production. This function terminates automatically after 12 hours. This function affects only the ice maker in the freezer.

CAUTION: If the water supply to your refrigerator is softened, be sure the softener is properly maintained. Chemicals from a water softener can damage the ice maker.

Cleaning the ice maker

Clean the ice maker and ice bin at regular intervals, especially prior to vacation or moving.

1. Turn off the ice maker.
2. Remove the ice bin.
3. Empty and carefully clean the ice bin with mild detergent. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners. Rinse with clean water.
4. Allow the ice bin to dry completely before replacing in the freezer.

STORING FOOD AND SAVING ENERGY

Ideas for storing foods

Fresh food storage

• Keep the fresh food compartment between 34°F and 40°F with an optimum temperature of 37°F.
• Avoid overcrowding the refrigerator shelves, which reduces air circulation and causes uneven cooling.
• Avoid placing food in front of air ports. (See Controls Section for illustration.)

Fruits and vegetables

• Store fruits and vegetables in crisper drawers, where trapped moisture helps preserve food quality for longer time periods.
• Wash items and remove excess water.
• Wrap any items that have strong odors or high moisture content.

Meat

• Wrap raw meat and poultry separately and securely to prevent leaks and contamination of other foods or surfaces.
• Use the deli drawer to store meat/poultry for short-term storage. Any meat to be kept longer than two days should be frozen.

Frozen food storage

• Keep the freezer compartment at 0°F or lower.
• A freezer operates most efficiently when it is at least 2⁄3 full.

Packaging foods for freezing

• To minimize food 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 seal them tightly. Trapped air can cause 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.

Loading the freezer

• Prior to grocery shopping, activate “quick freeze” so that on your return you can ensure your newly purchased food designated for the freezer will be preserved as quickly as possible.
• Activating “quick freeze” also will help your freezer more efficiently maintain the selected temperature after placing new purchases with pre-existing frozen foods.
• 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 a space between packages, so cold air can circulate freely, allowing food to freeze as quickly as possible.

Ideas for saving energy

Installation

• Locate the refrigerator in the coolest part of the room, out of direct sunlight, and away from heating ducts or registers.
• Do not place the refrigerator next to heat-producing appliances such as a range, oven, or dishwasher. If this is not possible, a section of cabinetry or an added layer of insulation between the two appliances will help the refrigerator operate more efficiently.
• Level the refrigerator so that the doors close tightly.

Temperature settings

• Refer to the “Controls” section for procedures on temperature settings.

Food storage

• Avoid overcrowding the refrigerator or blocking cold air vents. Doing so causes the refrigerator to run longer and use more energy.
• Cover foods and wipe containers dry before placing them in the refrigerator. This cuts down on moisture build-up inside the unit.
• Organize the refrigerator to reduce door openings. Remove as many items as needed at one time and close the door as soon as possible.
• Do not place a hot container directly on a cold shelf. Remember, such an extreme temperature change may damage the glass.

NORMAL OPERATING SOUNDS AND SIGHTS

Understanding the sounds you may hear

Your new, high-efficiency refrigerator may introduce unfamiliar sounds. These sounds normally indicate your refrigerator is operating correctly. Some surfaces on floors, walls, and kitchen cabinets may make these sounds more
noticeable.
The following is a list of major components in your refrigerator and the sounds they can cause:

A. Evaporator Refrigerant through the evaporator may create a boiling or gurgling sound.

B. Evaporator fan You may hear air being forced through the refrigerator by the evaporator fan.

C. Defrost heater During defrost cycles, water dripping onto the defrost heater may cause a hissing or sizzling sound. After defrosting, a popping sound may occur.

D. Automatic ice maker When ice has been produced, you will hear ice cubes falling into the ice bin. Ice maker fan, water valve activation, and refrigerant gas fluid may create sounds from its operation.

E . Electronic control & automatic defrost control These parts can produce a snapping or clicking sound when turning the cooling system on and off.

F. Condenser fan You may hear air being forced through the condenser.

G. Compressor Modern, high-efficiency compressors run much faster than older models. The compressor may have a high-pitched hum or pulsating sound.

H. Water valve Makes a buzzing sound each time it opens to fill the ice maker.

I. Drain pan (not removable) You may hear water dripping into the drain pan during the defrost cycle.

J. Condenser May create minimal sounds from forced air.

K. Motorized damper May produce a light humming during operation.

L. Ice dispensing paddle When dispensing ice, you will hear a snapping, clicking, or popping sound.

NOTE: Energy efficient foam in your refrigerator is not a sound insulator.

NOTE: During automatic defrost cycle, a red glow in the back wall vents of your freezer compartment is normal.

Water Filter

The water filter is located at the top right side of the fresh food compartment.

Replacing the Water Filter

In general, you should change the water filter every six months to ensure the highest possible water quality. Water Filter Status on the user interface prompts you to replace the filter after a standard amount of water (125 gallons/473 liters for PureSource Ultra IITM) has flowed through the system. If your refrigerator has not been used for a period
of time (during moving for example), change the filter before reinstalling the refrigerator.

NOTE: When ordering your replacement filter, please reorder the same filter type that is currently in your refrigerator.

More about your Advanced Water Filter

The PureSource Ultra IITM ice and water filter system is tested and certified to NSF/ANSI Standards 43, 53 and 401 for the reduction of claims specified on the performance data sheet.

Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system. Systems certified for cyst reduction may be used on disinfected waters that may contain filterable cysts.

Test & certification results:

• Rated Capacity - 125 gallons/473 liters for PureSource Ultra IITM ice and water filter
• Rated service flow - .65 gallons per minute
• Operating Temp: Min. 33°F, Max. 100°F
• Maximum Rated Pressure - 100 pounds per square inch
• Recommended Minimum Operating Pressure: 30 pounds per square inch

To replace your PureSource Ultra IITM water filter:

It is not necessary to turn the water supply off to change the filter. Be ready to wipe up any small amounts of water released during the filter replacement.

1. Turn Off the ice maker power switch.
2. Remove the old filter by rotating it counter-clockwise (to the left) 90 degrees to release it.
3. Slide the old filter cartridge straight out of the housing and discard it.
4. Unpackage the new filter cartridge. Slide it into the filter housing as far as it will go with the grip end horizontal.
5. Push lightly inward on the filter while rotating it clockwise (to the right). The filter will then pull itself inward as it is rotated. Rotate the filter 90 degrees until it stops and the grip end is vertical. You may be able to feel a very light click as the filter locks into place.
6. Press a drinking glass against the water dispenser while checking for any leaks at the filter housing. Any spurts and sputters that occur as the system purges air out of the dispenser system are normal.
7. Continue dispensing water for 3-4 minutes or until 1.5 gallons of water has flowed through the system. You will likely need to empty and refill your glass several times.
8. Turn On the ice maker.
9. Press and hold the Water Filter reset button on the control panel for three seconds. When the display changes from Red to Green, the status has been reset.

CARE & CLEANING

Protecting your investment

Keeping your refrigerator clean maintains its appearance and prevents odor build-up. Wipe up any spills immediately and clean the freezer and fresh food compartments at least twice a year.

NOTE: Do not use abrasive cleaners such as window sprays, scouring cleansers, flammable fluids, cleaning waxes, concentrated detergents, bleaches, or cleansers containing petroleum products on plastic parts, interior doors, gaskets, or cabinet liners. Do not use paper towels, scouring pads, or other abrasive cleaning materials.

• Never use metallic scouring pads, brushes, abrasive cleaners, or strong alkaline solutions on any surface.
• Never use CHLORIDE or cleaners with bleach to clean stainless steel.
• Do not wash any removable parts in a dishwasher.
• Always unplug the electrical power cord from the wall outlet before cleaning.

NOTE: If you set your temperature controls to turn off cooling, power to lights and other electrical components will continue until you unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.

• Remove adhesive labels by hand. Do not use razor blades or other sharp instruments which can scratch the appliance surface.
• Do not remove the serial plate. Removal of your serial plate voids your warranty.
• Before moving your refrigerator, raise the anti-tip brackets so the rollers will work correctly. This will prevent the floor from being damaged.

Refer to the guide on the next page for details on caring and cleaning specific areas of your refrigerator.

CAUTION!

• Pull the refrigerator straight out to move it. Shifting it from side to side may damage flooring. Be careful not to move the refrigerator beyond the plumbing connections.
• Damp objects stick to cold metal surfaces. Do not touch refrigerated surfaces with wet or damp hands.

IMPORTANT: If you store or move your refrigerator in freezing temperatures, be sure to completely drain the water supply system. Failure to do so could result in water leaks when the refrigerator is put back into service. Contact a service representative to perform this operation.
