Optbnal automatic be maker

know:

l The ON/OFF lever is a wire signal arm.

Down ... for making ice automatically.

NOTE: Do to the water

tar I

of the refrlgm&x

l The dial or lever on the side of the ice maker

changes the size of the cubes.

l Shake the bin occasionally to keep cubes

separated, and to obtain increased storage

capacity.

l lt is normal for ice crescents to be attached by

a comer. They will break apart easily.

l You will hear water running when ice maker is

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

let these sounds bother you.

l The ice maker will not operate until the freezer

is cold enough to make ice. This can take

overnight.

l Because of new plumbing connections, the first

ice may be discolored or off-flavored. Discard

the first few batches of ice.

l lf ice is not being made fast enough and more

ice is needed, turn the Refrigerator Control

toward a higher number. Watt a day and, ii

necessary, turn the Freezer Control toward C.

l Hyou 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 lower the arm to

... like stale water. Throw them

away. ke maker will make new ice. Cubes in

the ice bin can also become smaller by

evaporation.

l Good water quality is important for gocuf ice

quality. lt is not recommended that the ice

maker be connected to a softened water

supply. Water softener chemicals such as salt

from a malfunctioning softener can damage the

ice maker mold and lead to poor quality ice. If a

softened water supply cannot be avoided, then

it is important that the water softener be well

maintained and operating properly.

gkt npAr Refrigerator

Sounds you may hear

Your new refrigerator may make sounds that your

okf 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

surf-s like the floor, walls and cabinets can

make the sounds seem louder.

The folbwing describes the kinds of sounds

that might be new to you, and what may be

making them.

Sllght hum, soft hlas:

You may hear the refrigerator’s fan motor and

moving air.

Cllcklng or snapplng sounds:

The thermostat makes a definite click when the

refrigerator stops running. lt also makes a sound

when the refrigerator starts running. The defrost

timer will click when the defrost cycle starts.

Water sounds:

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.

Ice maker sounds:

l trkkllng water

l thud (clatter of ice)

fl your refrigerator has an ice maker, you may

hear buzzing (from the water valve), trickling

water and the datter of ice dumped into the bin.

Runnlng sounds:

Your refrigerator has a high-efficiency compres-

sor and motor. lt will run longer than older

designs. It may even seem to run most of the

time.

Energy wvlng tlps

You can help your refrigerator use less electriciiy.

l Check door gaskets for a tight seal. Level the

cabinet to be sure of a good seal.

l Clean the condenser coils regularly.

. Open the door as few times as possible. 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. Close door as soon as food is

removed.

l Go ahead and fill up the refrigerator, but don’t

overcrowd it so air movement is blocked.

. ft is a waste of electricity to set the refrigerator

and freezer to temperatures colder than they

need to be. lf ice cream is firm in the freezer and

drinks are as cold as your family likes them,

that’s cold enough.

l Keep the Exterior Moisture Control in the OFF

position unless moisture forms on refrigerator

exterior.

l Make sure your refrigerator is not next to a heat

source such as a range, water heater, furnace,

radiator or in direct sunlight.
