Up...to shut off the ice maker.

NECTED TO THE WATER SUPPLY.

LOWER

START IT

RAISE

SIGNAL

ARM TO

STOP ICE

The dial or lever on the side of the ice maker

changes the size of the cubes.

Shake the bin occasionally to keep cubes sepa-

rated, and to obtain increased storage capacity.

It is normal for ice crescents to be attached by a

corner. They will break apart easily.

You will hear water running when ice maker

working. You’ll hear ice fall into the bin. Don’t let

these sounds bother you.

The Ice maker WIII not operate until the freezer

is cold enough to make ice. This can take

overnight.

Because of new plumbing connections, the first

ice may be discolored or off-flavored. Discard

the first few batches of ice.

continued on next page 7

If ice is not being made fast enough and more

ice is needed, turn the Refrigerator Control to-

ward a higher number. Wait a day and, if neces-

sary, turn the Freezer Control toward C.

If you remove the ice bin, raise the signal arm to

shut off the ice maker. When you return the bin,

push it all the way in and lowerthe arm to the ON

position.

If cubes are stored too long, they may develop

an off-flavor...like stale water. Throw them away.

They will be replaced. Cubes in the ice bin can

also become smaller by evaporation.

Ice cube trays...

If cubes are not used, they may shrink. The mov-

ing cold air starts a slow evaporation. The longer

cubes are stored, the smaller they get.

Good water quality is important for good ice

quality. It is not recommended that the ice maker

be connected to a softened water supply. Water

softener chemicals such as salt from a malfunc-

tioning softener can damage the ice maker

mold and lead to poor quality ice. If a softened

water supply cannot be avoided, then it is impor-

tant that the water softener be well maintained

and operating properly.

To remove ice:

1. Hold tray at both ends.

2. Twist slightly.

Removing the base grille...

To remove the grille:

1. Open the doors. ’ To replace the grille:

2. Pull grille outward as shown.

3. Do not remove Tech sheet fastened behind

grille.

1. Line up grille support tabs with metal clips.

2. Push firmly to snap into place.

3. Close the doors.

Sounds you may hear...

‘/

’ +

Possible Sounds:

Slight Hum, Soft Hiss:

9 Clicking or Snapping

Sounds:

Water Sounds:

Ice Maker Sounds:

- trickling water

- thud (clatter of ice)

Running Sounds:

Your new refrigerator may make sounds that your old one didn’t.

Because the sounds are new to you, you might be concerned about them.

Don’t be. Most of the new sounds are normal. Hard surfaces like the floor,

walls and cabinets can make the sounds seem louder.

The following chart describes the kinds of sounds that might be new to

you, and what may be making them.

Probable Causes:

You may hear the refrigerator’s fan motor and moving air.

The thermostat makes a definite click when the refrigerator

stops running. It also makes a sound when the refrigerator starts.

The defrost timer will click when the defrost cycle starts and stops,

When the refrigerator stops running, you may hear gurgling in the

tubing for a few minutes after it stops. You may also hear defrost

water running into the defrost water pan.

If your refrigerator has an ice maker, you may hear buzzing [from

the water valve], trickling water and the clatter of ice dumped

into the bin.

Your refrigerator has a high-efficiency compressor and motor.

It will run longer than older designs. It may even seem to run most

of the time.

Cleaning your refrigerator

Both the refrigerator and freezer sections defrost

automatically. But both should be cleaned about

once a month to help prevent odors from building

up. Of course,spills should be wiped up right away.

To clean your refrigerator turn the Refrigerator

parts and clean it according to the following
