• Page 13 - English - : ICE AND WATER DISPENSER FEATURES The ice and water dispenser conveniently dispenses chilled water and icecubes or crushed ice depending on the model To operate the ice dispenser select the ice option desired using the touchpad 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 isdispensed For proper dispenser operation the recommended supply water pressure should fall between 20 psi and 100 psi After the refrigerator is connected to the water supply fill the water tank by drawing one glass of water It may take about 112minutes after activating the dispenser paddle before water begins to fill this first glass Continue flushing the system for 3 minutes to rid the tank and plumbing connections 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 To begin ice production lower the wire signal arm to the quotdownquot or ON position With no usage it wilt take approximately 2 days to fill the ice container The ice maker turns off automatically when the ice container becomes full To stop the ice maker lift the wire signal arm until it clicks and locks in the quotupquot or OFF position 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 ofdiscoloration and taste ICE DISPENSER TIPS Ice cubes stored too long may develop an odd flavor Empty the ice container and ensure that the wire signal arm is in its quotdownquot or ON position The ice maker will then produce more ice Occasionally shake the ice container to keep ice separated Keep the wire signal arm in its quotupquot or OFF position until the refrigerator isconnected 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 Running water Ice dropping into ice container Stop the ice maker when cleaning the freezer and during vacations Water valve opening or closing If the ice maker will be turned off for a long period of time turn the Ice loosening from tray water supply valve to the closed position

• Page 17 - English - : FOOD STORAGEIDEAS 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 0 F or lower A freezer operates most efficiently when it is at least 23 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 offflavor 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 hardtofreeze 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 refrigerator inthe coolest part of the room out of direct sunlight and away from heating ducts or registers Do not place the refrigerator next to heatproducing 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 amp 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 buildup 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
