AUTOMATIC ICE AND WATER DISPENSER
Priming the water supply system
Begin filling the system by pressing and holding a drinking glass against the water dispenser paddle.
Keep the glass in this position until water comes out of the dispenser. It may take about 1½ minutes. Water will sputter until you purge all air from the water lines.
Continue dispensing water for about 4 minutes to flush the system and plumbing connections of any impurities (stopping to empty the glass as necessary).
Ice maker operation & care
After you properly install the refrigerator and it has cooled for several hours, the ice maker can produce ice within 24 hours. The ice maker will fill the ice bin from the rear. You must dispense some ice to force the ice forward in the bin. This will allow the bin to fill completely.
Turning the ice maker on
Ice production is controlled by the ice maker's On/Off feature on the control panel. Pressing and holding the On/Off button toggles the ice maker On/Off.
Ice Maker/Dispenser Tips
Ice cubes stored too long may develop an odd flavor. Empty the ice container as explained in Cleaning the Ice Storage Bin.
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.
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
When dispensing ice, you will hear a snapping or clicking sound when the ice chute opens and closes.
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.
Cleaning the Ice Storage Bin
Clean the ice storage bin at regular intervals, particularly before you take a vacation or move.
To clean the ice storage bin:
Turn Off the ice maker.
Remove the ice storage bin by lifting up and out
Empty and carefully clean the ice storage bin with mild detergent. Rinse with clear water. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners.
Allow the ice storage bin to dry completely before replacing it in the freezer.
Remove ice chips and clean the ice storage bin, shelf and the freezer door chute.
Replace the ice storage bin. Turn On the ice maker to resume ice production.
Remove and empty the ice storage bin if:
An extended power failure (1 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.
CARE AND CLEANING
Protecting your investment Keeping your appliance clean maintains appearance and prevents odor build-up. Wipe up any spills immediately and clean the freezer and refrigerator compartments at least twice a year. When cleaning, take the following precautions:
• Never use CHLORIDE or cleaners with bleach 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.
Do not use abrasive cleaners such as window sprays, scouring cleansers, brushes, flammable fluids, cleaning waxes, concentrated detergents, bleaches or cleansers containing petroleum products on plastic parts, interior doors, gaskets or cabinet liners. Do not use paper towels, metallic scouring pads, or other abrasive cleaning materials or strong alkaline solutions.
Glass Shelves
Refrigerator: Shelves are easily adjusted to suit individual needs. Before adjusting the shelves, remove all food. Shelves are supported by side rails.
To adjust, lift up on the back of the shelf and pull forward.
Replace the shelf by sliding it on top of the formed rails on the side walls of the cabinet until the rear plastic hooks of the shelf lock into the rear of the cabinet liner.
Freezer: You can remove the glass freezer shelf for cleaning. Remove all food from the glass shelf. Rotate the front trim down to remove front trim (Figure 1).
Remove both the rear trim and glass by pulling up on the rear tab and sliding the shelf forward (Figure 2)
To reassemble the freezer shelf, slide the glass and rear trim along the shelf rails while pressing the shelf downward until it is fully locked into place in the rear (Figure 3).
Finally, rotate the front trim upward on the front edge of the glass shelf (Figure 4).
