WATER
To operate the water dispenser, press a glass against the WATER dispensing paddle 6 . To stop dispensing water, pull the glass away from the dispensing paddle 6 . Dispensed water is not cold. For colder water, add crushed ice or cubes before dispensing water. A drip tray located at the base of the dispenser catches small spills and allows them to evaporate. This drip tray is removable and dishwasher safe. Do not pour water and excess ice in this area because there is no drain.

ICE AND WATER DISPENSER FEATURES

The ice and water dispenser conveniently dispenses chilled water, and ice cubes or crushed ice, depending on the model.

To operate the ice dispenser, select the ice option desired using the touchped. Press a glass against the dispensing paddle as far up as possible to catch all ice.To stop dispensing ice, pull glass away from dispensing paddle. Do not remove the glass until the ice has completely dispensed. (Complete instructions for the dispenser operation are attached to the inside of the freezer door.)

How the Water Dispenser Works

The water tank, located behind the drawers in the refrigerator compartment, automatically fills as water is dispensed. For proper dispenser operation, the recommended supply water pressure should fall between 20 psi and 100 psi.

After the refdge rator is connected to the water supply, fill the water tank by drawing one glass of water. It may take about minutes after activating the dispenser peddle before water begins to fill this first glass. Continue flushing the system for 3 minutes to rid the tank and plumbing con nections of any impurities.The water dispenser has a built in shutoff device that will stop the water flow after 3 minutes of continuous use. Simply release the dispenser paddle to reset the shutoff mechanism.

How the Ice Dispenser Works

The ice maker and container 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 begin making ice within 24 hours. Air in new plumbing lines may cause the ice maker to cycle two or three times before making a full tray of ice. 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 it to the "1" position to turn it On. With no usage it will take approximately 2 days to fill the ice container.

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

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. Because of new plumbing connections, the first production of ice cubes may be discolored or have an odd flavor.These should be discarded until the cubes made are free of discoloration and taste.

ICE DISPENSER TIPS

  • Ice cubes stored too long may develop an odd flavor. Empty the ice container and ensure that the ice maker's On/Oft power switch is turned On (set to the "r' position). The ice maker will then produce more ice.
  • Occasionally shake the ice container to keep ice separated.
  • Keep the ice maker's On/Off power switch turned Off (set to the "O" position) until the refrigerator is connected to the water supply or whenever the water supply is turned off.

  • If a large quantity of ice is needed at one time. it is best to remove cubes directly from the ice container.
  • The following sounds are normal when the ice maker is operating:
    • Motor running
    • Ice loosening from tray
    • Ice dropping into ice container
    • Running water
    • Water valve opening or closing
  • Turn Off the ice maker when cleaning the freezer and during vacations.
  • If the ice maker will be turned off for a long period of time, you should also turn off the water supply valve.

CLEANING THE ICE DISPENSER

Clean the dispenser and ice container at regular intervals, particularly before you take a vacation or move, or it the ice dispenser sticks.

  1. Turn off ice production by pressing the ice maker's On/Off switch.
  2. Remove ice container by liftiog up and out. Empty and carefully clean the container with mild detergent. Rinse with clear water. Do not use harshor abrasive cleaners. Allow cecontainer to dry completely before replacing in the freezer.
  3. Remove ice chips and clean the shelf and chute that supports the ice container.
  4. Replace the ice container. Press the ice maker's On/Off switch to resume ice production.

Remove and empty the ice storage bin if:

  1. An extended power failure (one hour or longer) causes ice cubes in the ice storage bin to melt and freeze together and jam the dispenser mechanism.
  2. The ice dispenser is not used frequently. Ice cubes will freeze together in the bin and jam the dispenser mechanism. Remove the ice storage bin and shake to loosen the cubes.

NEVER use an ice pick or similar sharp instrument to break up the ice. This could damage the ice storage bin and dispenser mechanism.

PureSource *Ice and Water Filter (some models)

NOTE: If you purchased a refrigerator with a PureSource TM * Ice and Water filter, please read the following use and care information. This ice and water filter system filters water to your ice maker and water dispenser, It is located inthe upper right back corner of the fresh food compartment.

System Start up:

Water supply does not need to be turned off, however, do not use ice and water dispenser while installing filter. The filter cartridge has already been installed in the filter housing at the factory. Refer to the How The Water Dispenser Works section to properly fill the system with water.

Changing the Filter:

Water conditions vary throughout the world, but changing the water filter every months normally will ensure the highest possible water quality. The Filter Status light wl!l turn red after 400 gallons of water has flowed through the ice and water dispenser (some models). Also, if the filter has been in a refrigerator that has not been in use for awhile (during moving for example), change the filter before reinstalling the refrigerator. The dispenser system will also operate without filtration (with filter cartridge removed).

To change filter:

It is not necessary to turn the water supply off to change the filter.

  1. Open freezer door and leave open until filter change is complete.
  2. Turn the ice maker's power switch to the Off ("O") position (See illustration on page 13).

  4. Rinse out cup under running water.
  5. The large o-ring that seals the filter system sets in the o-ring groove down inside the cup. Should the o-ring fall out during filter cartridge replacement, simply place it back in the groove prior to screwing the cup back in place. If the o-ring becomes damaged, you will need to order one from the Customer Care Center.
  6. Discard old filter cartridge.
  7. Remove new filter cartridge from packaging and place in cup. The end with the small o-ring should be up, out of the cup.
  8. Screw cup, with filter, back onto housing. DO Not Use Wrench To Reinstall Cup. Filter cartridge will self-align as cup is tightened. Be sure cup is completely tightened with PureSource TM logo facing outward. Do Not Tighten Past Stop.
  9. Turn the ice maker's power switch to the On (1") position.
  10. Check for leaks. Open refrigerator door. Wipe any water drop fate from the filter cup. Fill a glass with water, if there is a leak, unscrew filter cup, and reinsert the filter cartridge. Check placement of large O-ring. Re in still filter cup, making certain it is tightened completely.
  11. To condition filter system and purge air from water line, fill a glass with water. Continue flushing the system for approximately 3 minutes to assure that the purest water possible is stored in the water tank.

9. After you have run one glass of water, continue to flush the system for approximately 3 minutes to assure that the purest water possible is stored in the water storage tank.

Food Storage & Energy Saving Ideas

FOOD STORAGE IDEAS

Fresh Food Storage

  • The fresh food compartment should be kept between 34° F and 40 ° F with an optimum temperature of 37° F.
  • Avoid overcrowding the refrigerator shelves.This reduces the circulation of air around the food and results in uneven cooling.

Fruits and Vegetables

  • Storage in the crisper drawers traps moisture to help preserve the fruit and vegetable quality for longer time periods.

Meat

  • Raw meat and poultry should be wrapped securely so leakage and contamination of other foods or surfaces does not occur.

Frozen Food Storage

  • The freezer compartment should be kept at O° F or lower.
  • A freezer operates most efficiently when it is at least 2/3 full

Packaging Foods for Freezing

  • 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 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

  • 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 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.

ENERGY SAVING IDEAS

  • Locate the refdgerato r in the coolest part ofthe room, oat of direct suniight, 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.
  • Refer to this Use & Care Manual for the suggested temperature control settings.
  • Periodic cleaning of the condenser will help the refrigerator run more efficiently. See the Care and Cleaning Chart on page 19.
  • Do not overcrowd the refrigerator or block 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.
