• When the ice cubes are ejected it is normal for
several cubes to be joined together at the ends. They
can easily be broken apart. The ice maker will
continue to make ice until the supply of ice cubes
raises the ice maker arm, shutting the ice maker off.
Certain sounds may accompany the various cycles of
the ice maker. The motor may have a slight hum, the
cubes will rattle as they fall into an empty storage
pan and the water valve may click or "buzz"
occasionally.
If the ice is not used frequently, the ice cubes will
become cloudy, shrink, stick together and taste stale.
Empty the ice storage bin periodically and wash it in
lukewarm water. Be sure to dry the bin thoroughly
before replacing it.
Beverages and foods should not be placed in the ice
storage bin for quick chilling. These items can block
the ice maker arm, causing the ice maker to
malfunction.
• Turn off the ice maker by raising the ice maker arm
when the water supply is to be shut off for several
hours.
To Remove the Ice Bin:
• Pull it forward, away from the ice maker. To avoid the
ice maker dumping ice while the bin is removed, turn
the ice maker off by raising the sensor arm.
To Install the Ice Bin:
• Reverse the above procedure. Turn the ice maker on
by lowering the ice maker arm.

Fresh Food Storage
, The fresh food compartment of a refrigerator should
be kept between 34°-40 ° F 0°-/4 ° C] with an
optimum temperature of 37 ° F (3° C}. To check the
temperature, place an appliance thermometer in a
glass of water and place in the center of the
refrigerator. Check after 2/4 hours. If the temperature
is above/40 ° F (4° C} adjust the control as explained
on pages 10, 11 and 12.
, Avoid overcrowding the refrigerator shelves. This
reduces the circulation of air around the food and
results in uneven cooling.
Fruits and VegetabRes
Storage in the crisper drawers traps humidity to help
preserve the fruit and vegetable quality for longer
time periods (see page 15].
Sort fruits and vegetables before storage and use
bruised or soft items first. Discard those showing
signs of decay.
Always wrap odorous foods such as onions and
cabbage so the odor does not transfer to other foods.
While vegetables need a certain amount of humidity
to remain fresh, too much humidity can shorten
storage times (especially leafy vegetables}. Drain
vegetables well before storing.
, Wait to wash fresh produce until right before use.
Meat and Cheese
, Raw meat and poultry should be wrapped securely
so leakage and contamination of other foods or
surfaces does not occur.
Occasionally mold will develop on the surface of
hard cheeses (Swiss, Cheddar, Parmesan]. Cut off at
least an inch around and below the moldy area. Keep
your knife or instrument out of the mold itselL Do not
try to save individual cheese slices, soft cheese,
cottage cheese, cream, sour cream or yogurt when
mold appears.
Frozen Food Storage
, The freezer compartment of a refrigerator should be
kept at approximately 0° F (-18 ° C]. To check the
temperature, place an appliance thermometer
between the frozen packages and check after 2/4
hours. If the temperature is above 0° F (-18 ° C}, adjust
the control as described on page 10, 11 and 12.
, A freezer operates more efficiently when it is at least
two-thirds 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 be sure they are tightly sealed. Trapped
air can cause the food to dry out, change color and
develop an off-flavor (freezer burn].
, Overwrap 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 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 with door openings.
Refer to the Food Storage Chart on pages 2/4, 25 and 26
for approximate storage times.
[}airy Food
, Most dairy foods such as milk, yogurt, sour cream
and cottage cheese have freshness dates on their
cartons for appropriate length of storage. Store these
foods in the original carton and refrigerate
immediately after purchasing and after each use.

2. Disconnect power to the refrigerator.
3. Clean the walls, floor, ceiling of cabinet interior,
drawers, shelves and gaskets according to the
instructions (see page 26}.
4. Dilute mild detergent and brush solution into
crevices using a plastic bristle brush. Let stand for
five minutes. Rinse surfaces with warm water, Dry
surfaces with a soft, clean cloth.
5. Wash and dry all bottles, containers and jars.
Discard spoiled or expired items.
6. Wrap or store odor-causing foods in tightly sealed
containers to prevent recurring odors.
7. Reconnect power to refrigerator and return food to

8. Allow the refrigerator to cool.
9. After 24 hours, check if odor has been eliminated.
[[ odor is stiJ[ present:
1. Remove drawers and place on top shelf of
refrigerator.
2. Pack refrigerator and freezer sections - including
doors - with crumpled sheets of black and white
newspaper.
3. Place charcoal briquettes randomly on crumpled
newspaper in both freezer and refrigerator
compartments.
Energy Saving Tips
. Avoid overcrowding refrigerator shelves. This reduces
air circulation around food and causes refrigerator to
run longer.
Avoid adding too much warm food to refrigerator at
one time. This overloads compartments and slows
rate of cooling.
, Do not use aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper
toweling as shelf liners. This decreases air flow and
causes refrigerator to run less efficiently.
, A freezer that [s two-thirds full runs most efficiently.
Locate refrigerator in coolest part of room. Avoid
areas of direct sunlight, or near heating ducts,
registers or other heat producing appliances. If this is
not possible, isolate exterior by using a section of
cabinet or an added layer of insulation.
, Clean door gaskets every three months according to
cleaning instructions. This wiI[ assure that door seals
propedy and refrigerator runs efficiently.
Take time to organize [terns in refrigerator to reduce
time that door is open.
, Be sure your doors are closing securely by leveling
refrigerator as instructed in your installation
instructions.
, Clean condenser coils as indicated in the cleaning
instructions every three months. This will increase
energy efficiency and cooling performance.
4. Close doors and let stand 2/4to 48 hours.

1. Remove all perishables.
2. If no one will be checking in on the refrigerator
during your absence, remove all frozen items also.
3. If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker:
• Shut off the water supply to the ice maker at
least one day ahead of time.
• After the last load of ice drops, raise the wire
shut off arm to the OFF position.
• Empty the ice bin.
4. If the room temperature will drop below 55° F
[13° C), follow the instructions for longer absences.
For long vacations, absences (more than three
months] OR if the room temperature will drop below
55 ° F [13 ° C]:
1. Remove food.
2. If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker:
• Shut off the water supply to the ice maker at
least one day ahead of time.
• After the last load of ice drops, raise the wire
shut off arm to the OFF position.
• Empty the ice bin.
3. If your refrigerator has a dispenser system with
water filter, remove the water filter cartridge and
install the filter bypass. Dispose of the used
cartridge.

Unplug the refrigerator.
Thoroughly clean the interior of both compartments
with a baking soda solution and a clean soft cloth
(four tablespoons of baking soda in one quart of
warm water.).
7. Dry thoroughly.
8. Leave the doors open to prevent the formation of
mold and mildew.
Upon Your Return:
After a Short Vacation or Absence:
For models with automatic ice makers or dispensers:
, Reconnect the water supply and turn on supply valve
(see page 4-5).
, Monitor water connection for 24 hours and correct
leaks if necessary.
, Run 10-15 glasses of water from the dispenser to
flush out the system.
, Restart the ice maker by lowering the ice maker arm.
, Discard at least the first three ice harvests.
After a Long Vacation or Absence:
If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker,
reconnect the water supply and turn on supply valve
(see page/4-5).
Hug the refrigerator back in and reset controls (see
pages 10, 11 and 12).
Monitor water connection for 24 hours and correct
leaks, if necessary.
For dispenser models, run water through the dispenser
for at least three minutes with the filter bypass in
place, then install water filter (see page 20).
After installing the water filter, run water through the
dispenser continuously for at least two minutes, or
until water runs steady. Initially you may notice a
one to two minute delay in water dispersal as the
internal tanks fills.
Restart the ice maker by lowering the icemarkerarm.
Discard ice produced within the first 12 hours (at
least the first three harvests).
Preparing to Move
Follow the above instructions for long
vacations/absences, through step Z
Secure all loose items such as shelves and drawers
