The automatic ice & water dispenser on your refrigerator requires a permanent
water supply to function correctly. During installation, you (or a service
professional) establish this water supply by connecting a copper tube from your
household water system to a valve at the rear of the refrigerator.
You may have already followed the directions in the tnstaflation Instructions to
connect the water supply. This information is repeated here for future reference if
you need to relocate your refrigerator.
Whatyou will need:
* Access to a cold water line with pressure of 20-100 psi.
, Copper tubing with ¼-inch (6.4mm) OD. Length for this tubing is the distance
from the rear of the refrigerator to your household water supply line plus 7
feet (2.1 meters).
, A shut-off valve for the connection between your household water line and
the refrigerator supply line.
Do not use a self-piercing shut-off valve.
A compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) for the water supply connection at the
rear of your refrigerator.

Your refrigerator's water supply system includes several tubing lines, an advanced
water filter, a distribution valve bank, and a reserve tank to ensure ample supply to
the ice and water dispenser at all times. This system needs to be completely filled
with water when first connected to an external supply line.
Toprimethe watersupply system:
1 Begin filling the tank 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, mtmay
take about 11A minutes.
3 Continue dispensing water for about 3 minutes to flush the system and
plumbing connections of any impurities (stopping to empty the glass as
necessary).
ICEDISPENSEROPE TION & CARE
[] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] []
The ice maker, ice bin, and dispenser feeding mechanism are located in the top of
the freezer compartment. After the refrigerator is installed properly and has cooled
for several hours, the ice maker can produce ice within 24 hours. It can completely
fill an ice bin in about two days.
The ice maker produces 4 to 6 pounds of ice every 24 hours depending on usage
conditions. Ice is produced at a rate of 8 cubes every 75 to 90 minutes.
UsingThe ice DispenserAfter Installation
Before making ice for the first time, be sure to prime the water supply system as
described on page 22. 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.
TurningTheiceDispenserOnAndOff
Ice production is controlled by the ice maker's On/Off
power switch. Press the switch to the "O" position to turn it
Off and press to the "m"position to turn it On.
ice &
;r
DispenserTips
, Ice cubes stored too long may develop an odd flavor. Empty the ice container
as explained on the next page.
, Occasionally shake the ice container to keep ice separated.
, If your refrigerator is not connected to a water supply or the water supply is
turned off, turn off the ice maker by pressing the On/Off switch.
If you need a large quantity of ice at one time, it is best to get cubes directly
from the ice container.
The following sounds are normal when the ice maker is operating:
Motor running
Ice dropping into ice container
• Water valve opening or closing
Ice loosening from tray
Running water
Turn off the ice maker when cleaning the freezer and during vacations.
If you turn off the ice maker for a long period of time, you should also turn off
the water supply valve.
CleaningTheIceDispenser
Clean the ice maker and ice bin at regular intervals, particularly
before you take a vacation or move.
Tocleanthe ice dispenser:
1 Turn off ice production by pressing the ice maker's Off/On switch,
2 Remove the ice bin by lifting up and out.
3 Empty and carefully clean the ice bin with mild detergent. Rinse with clear
water. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners.
4 Allow the ice bin to dry completely before replacing in the freezer.
5 Remove ice chips and clean the ice bin shelf and the freezer door chute (for
more tips on care and cleaning, see page 33).
6 Replace the ice bin. Press the ice maker's Off/On switch to resume ice
production.
Removeandempty the ice storagebin if:
• An extended power failure (one hour or longer) causes ice cubes in the ice
storage bin to melt and freeze together, 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 storage bin and shake to loosen the cubes or clean as explained
above.
Never use an ice pick or similar sharp instrument to break up the ice. This could
damage the ice storage bin and dispenser mechanism.
Your refrigerator is equipped with a water filtering system. The water filter, which
uses Electrolux pure advantage TM technology, filters all dispensed drinking water
as well as the water used to produce ice.

Keep the fresh food compartment between 34 ° F and 40 ° F with an optimum
temperature of 37 ° F (see page 13 for more about temperature settings).
• Avoid overcrowding the refrigerator shelves, which reduces air circulation and
causes uneven cooling.
Fruits andVegetables
• Store fruits and vegetables in crisper drawers, where trapped moisture helps
preserve food quality for longer time periods.
Meat
Wrap raw meat and poultry securely so leakage and contamination of other
foods or surfaces does not occur.
* Use the meat keeper drawer for short term storage. Any meat to be kept
longer than two days should be frozen.
See page 17 for more about the meat keeper drawer.
FrozenFood Storage
• Keep the freezer compartment at 0° F or lower (see page 13 for more about
temperature settings).
• A freezer operates most efficiently when it is at least 2/3 full.
PackagingFoodsfor 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.
Loadingthe Freezer
, 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.
, 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.
hstaJlation
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.
TemperatureSettings
, Refer to earlier sections in this Use & Care Manual (beginning on page 12)
for recommendations on temperature control 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.

UNDERSTANDINGTHESOUNDSYOUMAYHEAR
[] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] []
Your new high-efficiency refrigerator may introduce unfamiliar sounds. These
sounds normally indicate your refrigerator is operating correctly. Some surfaces on
floors, wails, and kitchen cabinets may make these sounds more noticeable.
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.
Automatic Ice Maker When ice has been produced, you
will hear ice cubes falling into the ice bin.
E Cold 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 in
the past. 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.
&
Keeping your refrigerator clean maintains appearance and prevents odor build=up.
Wipe up any spills immediately and clean the freezer and fresh food compartments
at least twice a year. When cleaning, take the following precautions:
, Never use metallic scouring pads, brushes, abrasive cleaners or strong
alkaline solutions on any surface.
, Never use CHLORIDE 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.
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.
Refer to the guide on the next page for details on caring and cleaning specific
areas of your refrigerator.
