Important Facts About Your Dispenser

• Do not add ice from trays or bags to the door ice maker bucket. It may not crush or dispense.
• Avoid overfilling glass with ice and use of narrow glasses. Backed-up ice can jam the chute or cause the door in the chute to freeze shut. If ice is blocking the chute remove the ice bucket. poke it through with a wooden spoon.
• Beverages and foods should not be quick-chilled in the door ice maker bin. Cans. bottles or food packages in the storage drawer may cause the ice maker or auger to jam.
• To keep dispensed ice from missing the glass. put the glass close to. but not touching. the dispenser opening.
• Some crushed ice may be dispensed even though you selected CUBED ICE. 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.
• Sometimes a small mound of snow will form on the door in the ice chute. This condition is normal and usually occurs when you have dispensed crushed ice repeatedly. The snow will eventually evaporate.

CARE AND CLEANING

Cleaning the Outside

The stainless steel panels. door handles and trim.
The stainless steel doors and door handles (on some models) can be cleaned with a commercially available stainless steel cleaner. Cleaners with oxalic acid such as
Bar Keepers Friend Soft Cleanser will remove surface rust. tarnish and small blemishes. Use only a liquid cleanser free of grit and rub in the direction of the brush lines with a damp soft sponge. Do not use appliance wax or polish on the stainless steel.

Silver-accented plastic parts.

Wash parts with soap or other mild detergents. Wipe clean with a sponge. damp cloth or paper towel. Do not use scouring pads. powdered cleaners. bleach or cleaners containing bleach because these products can scratch and weaken the paint finish.

Should spill tray need cleaning use lime remover.

Cleaning the Inside

To help prevent odors. leave an open box of baking soda in the refrigerator and freezer compartments.

Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning.

If this is not practical. wring excess moisture out of sponge or cloth when cleaning around switches. lights or controls.

Use an appliance wax polish on the inside surface between the doors.

Use warm water and baking soda solution—about a tablespoon (15 ml) of baking soda to a quart (1 liter) of water. This both cleans and neutralizes odors. Rinse and wipe dry.

To clean the inside metal panel*. open the outer door using the Door in Door Latch. Clean the panel with a mild detergent and then wipe dry with a soft cloth. Do not use any stainless steel cleaner on the panel as it may damage the surrounding plastic.

CAUTION Do not clean glass shelves or coverswith warm water when they are cold. Glass shelves and covers may break if exposed to sudden temperature changes or impact such as bumping or dropping. Tempered glass is designed to shatter into many small pieces if it breaks.
Do not wash any plastic refrigerator parts in the dishwasher.

TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS

Normal Operating Conditions.

Newer refrigerators sound different from older refrigerators. Modern refrigerators have more features and use newer technology

Do you hear what I hear? These conditions are normal.

• The new high efficiency compressor may run faster and longer than your old refrigerator and you may hear a high-pitched hum or pulsating sound while it is operating
• You may hear a whooshing sound when the doors close. This is due to pressure equalizing within the refrigerator. a After dispensing ice. a motor will close the ice chute to keep warn room air from entering the ice bucket. maintaining ice at a freezing temperature.
• The hum of the motor closing the ice chute is normal. shortly after dispensing ice.

• You may hear the fans spinning at high speeds. This happens when the refrigerator is first plugged in. when the doors are opened frequently or when a large amount of food is added to the refrigerator or freezer compartments. The fans are helping to maintain the correct temperatures.
• The fans change speeds in order to provide optimal cooling and energy savings.

CLICKS, POPS, CRACKS and SNAPS

• You may hear cracking or popping sounds when the refrigerator is first plugged in. This happens as the refrigerator cools to the correct temperature.
• The compressor may cause a clicking or chirping sound when attempting to restart (this could take up to 5 minutes).
• Expansion and contraction of cooling coils during and after defrost can cause a cracking or popping sound.
• On models with an ice maker. after an ice making cycle. you may hear the ice cubes dropping into the ice bucket.

WATER SOUNDS

• The flow of refrigerant through the cooling coils may make a gurgling noise like boiling water.
• Water dropping on the defrost heater can cause a sizzling. popping or buzzing sound during the defrost cycle.
• A water dripping noise may occur during the defrost cycle as ice melts from the evaporator and flows into the drain pan.
• Closing the door may cause a gurgling sound due to pressure equalization.

START UP COOLING

It can take up to 24 hours for the refrigerator and freezer temperatures to match the display. During that time refrigerator and freezer door openings should be minimized.

TIPS

• Freezer cools first.
• Refrigerator compartment cools last; it may take several hours after the freezer.
• Turning off ice maker makes both fresh food and freezer food cool faster.
