Using Your Refrigerator Continued Cod water and ice dispenser Persona Injury Hazard Tumbing ice and pressure on a fragie gass can break it. Do not use a fragie gass when dispensing ice or water. Faiure to do so coud resut in persona injury or breakage. To dispense ice: 1. Press a sturdy gass against the ice dispenser bar. Hod gass cose to dispenser opening so ice does not fa outside of gass. 2. Remove the gass to stop dispensing. NOTE: The first few batches of ice may have an off taste from new pumbing and parts. Throw the ice away. Ice is dispensed from the ice maker storage bin in the freezer. When the dispenser bar is pressed, a trapdoor opens in a chute between the dispenser and the ice bin. Ice is moved from the bin and fas through the chute. When the dispenser bar is reeased, a buzzing sound may be heard for a few seconds as the trapdoor coses. The dispensing system wi not operate when the freezer door is open. NOTE: Large amounts of ice shoud be taken from the bin, not through the dispenser. To dispense water: 1. Press a sturdy gass against the water dispenser bar. 2. Remove the gass to stop dispensing. NOTE: Dispense enough water every week to maintain a fresh suppy. Chied water comes from a tank behind the meat drawer:t hods about 1 /2 quarts (1.5 L). When the refrigerator is first hooked up, press the water dispenser with a gass or jar unti you have drawn and discarded 2 or 3 quarts (1.9 to 2.8 L). The water you draw and discard wi rinse the tank and pipes. Aow severa hours to chi the first tankfu. NOTE: The sma tray beneath the dispenser is designed to evaporate sma spis. There is no drain in this tray. Do not pour water into it. 10

Raise signa arm to stop ice. Lower signa arm to start it. Automatic ice maker Here are a few things you wi want to know about your automatic ice maker: The ON/OFF ever is a wire signa arm. Down...for making ice automaticay. Up...to shut off the ice maker. NOTE: Do not turn ice maker on unti it is connected to the water suppy. Instructions for ice maker water suppy hook-up are attached to the back of the refrigerator cabinet. It is norma for ice crescents to be attached by a corner. They wi break apart easiy. The ice maker wi not operate unti the freezer is cod enough to make ice. This can take overnight. If ice is not being made fast enough and more ice is needed, turn the Refrigerator Contro toward a higher number. Wait a day and, if necessary, turn the Freezer Contro toward C. Good water quaity is important for good ice quaity. It is not recommended that the ice maker be connected to a softened water suppy. Water softener chemicas such as sat from a mafunctioning softener can damage the ice maker mod and ead to poor quaity ice. If a softened water suppy cannot be avoided, then it is important that the water softener be we maintained and operating propery. Removing ice maker storage bin Remove, empty and cean the storage bin: If the ice dispenser has not, or wi not, be used for a week or more; If a power faiure causes ice in the bin to met and freeze together; If the ice dispenser is not used reguary. 1. Pu the covering pane out from the bottom and side it to the rear. 11

Pu it out. 4. Empty the bin. Use hot or warm water to met the ice if necessary. Never use anything sharp to break up ice in the bin. This can damage the bin and dispenser mechanism. 5. Wash with mid detergent. Rinse we. Do not use harsh or abrasive ceansers or sovents. 6. When repacing the bin, make sure it is pushed in a the way. Push the signa arm down to the ON position to restart ice production. To turn on night ight, push LIGHT switch in. See page 9 for directions for changing dispenser ight.

Because the sounds are new to you, you might be concerned about them. Don t be. Most of the new sounds are norma. Hard surfaces ike the foor, was and cabinets can make the sounds seem ouder. The foowing describes the kinds of sounds that might be new to you, and what may be making them. Sight hum, soft hiss: You may hear the refrigerator s moving air. fan motor and Cicking or snapping sounds: The thermostat makes a definite cick when the refrigerator stops running. It aso makes a sound when the refrigerator starts. The defrost timer wi cick when the defrost cyce starts and stops. Water sounds: When the refrigerator stops running, you may hear gurging in the tubing for a few minutes after it stops. You may aso hear defrost water running into the defrost water pan. Ice maker sounds: tricking water. thud (catter of ice) Because your refrigerator has an ice maker, you may hear buzzing (from the water vave), tricking water and the catter of ice dumped into the bin. Running sounds: Your refrigerator has a high-efficiency compressor and motor. It wi run onger than oder designs. It may even seem to run most of the time. Energy saving tips You can hep your refrigerator use ess eectricity. Check door gaskets for a tight sea. Leve the cabinet to be sure of a good sea. Cean the condenser cois reguary. Open the door as few times as possibe. Think about what you need before you open the door. Get everything out at one time. Keep food organized so you won t have to search for what you want. Cose door as soon as food is removed. Go ahead and fi up the refrigerator, but don t overcrowd it so air movement is bocked. It is a waste of eectricity o set the refrigerator and freezer to temperatures coder than they need to be. If ice cream is firm in the freezer and drinks are as cod as your famiy ikes them, that s cod enough. Keep the Exterior Moisture Contro on the OFF setting uness moisture forms on refrigerator exterior. Make sure your refrigerator is not next to a heat source such as a range, water heater, furnace, radiator or in direct sunrght. 13

Food Storage Guide There is a correct way to package and store refrigerated or frozen food. To keep food fresher,. I....... onger, take me time to stuay tnese recommenaea steps. Storing fresh food Food paced in the refrigerator shoud be wrapped or stored in air and moisture proof materia. This prevents food odor and taste transfer throughout the refrigerator. For dated products, check code date to ensure freshness. Leafy vegetabes Remove store wrapping and trim or tear off bruised and discoored areas. Wash in cod water and drain. Pace in pastic bag or pastic container and store in crisper. Vegetabes with skins (carrots, peppers) Store in crisper, pastic bags or pastic container. Fruit Wash, et dry and store in refrigerator in pastic bags or crisper. Do not wash or hu berries unti they are ready to use. Sort and keep berries in their store container in a crisper, or store in a oosey cosed paper bag on a refrigerator shef. Meat Most meat can be stored in origina wrapping as ona as it is air and moisture oroof. Rewrao if necess%ry. See the foowing chart for storage times.

NOTE: Fresh fish and shefish shoud be used the same day as purchased. Eggs Store without washing in the origina carton on interior shef. Mik Wipe mik cartons. For best storage, pace mik on interior shef. Butter or margarine Keep opened butter in covered dish or cosed compartment. When storing an extra suppy, wrap in freezer packaging and freeze.

Packaging done in any other way coud cause food odor and taste transfer throughout the refrigerator and drying of frozen food. Rigid poyethyene (pastic) containers with trght fitting ids, straight-sided canning/freezing jars, heavy-duty auminum foi, pastic-coated paper and nonpermeabe pastic wraps (made from a Saran fim) are recommended.

If You Need Service Or Assistance We suggest you foow these steps: 1. Before caing for assistance... Performance probems often resut from itte things you can find and fix yoursef without toos of any kind. If your refrigerator wi not operate: Is the power suppy cord pugged into a ive circuit with proper votage? (See page 4.) Have you checked your home s main fuses or circuit breaker box? Is the Refrigerator Contro ON? If there is a ratting or jinging noise or unfamiiar sounds: Is something on top of or behind the refrigerator making noise when the refrigerator is running? New features on your new refrigerator make new sounds. You may be hearing air fowing from the fans, timer cicks for the defrosting cyce, or defrost water draining in the defrost pan. If your ice maker wi not operate: Has the freezer had enough time to get cod? With a new refrigerator, this might take overnight. Is the signa arm ON _. in the down position?
