CONNECTING THE WATEr SUPPLy
About your refrigerator’s Water Supply
The automatic ice & water dispenser on your refrigerator requires a permanent water supply to function correctly.
During installation, you (or a service professional) establish this water supply by connecting a copper tube from your household water system to a valve at the rear of the refrigerator.
You may have already followed the directions in the Installation Instructions to connect the water supply. This information is repeated here for future reference if you need to relocate your refrigerator.
CAUTION
To avoid property damage:
• Use copper tubing for the water supply line (plastic tubing is more likely to leak). Manufacturer is not responsible for any damage if plastic tubing is used for supply line.
• Ensure water supply and installation comply with state and local laws and regulations.
• For proper dispenser operation, recommended water supply pressure should fall between 30 psi and 100 psi.
Excessive pressure may cause water filter to malfunction.
What you will need:
• A cold water line with pressure of 30-100 psi.
(System is to be supplied with cold water only.)
• Copper tubing with ¼ inch (6.4mm) Outside
Diameter (OD). Length for this tubing is the distance from the rear of the refrigerator to your household water supply line plus seven feet (2.1 meters).
• A shut-off valve for the connection between your household water line and the refrigerator supply line.
Do not use a self-piercing shut-off valve.
• A compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) for the water supply connection at the rear of your refrigerator.

AUTOMATIC ICE & WATEr DISPENSEr
Priming the Water Supply System
Your refrigerator’s water supply system includes several tubing lines, an advanced water filter, a distribution valve bank, and a reserve tank to ensure ample supply to the ice and water dispenser at all times. This system needs to be completely filled with water when first connected to an external supply line.
CAUTION
For proper dispenser operation, recommended water supply pressure should fall between 30 psi and 100 psi. Excessive pressure may cause water filter to malfunction.
To prime the water supply system:
1 Begin filling the tank by pressing and holding a drinking glass against the water dispenser paddle.
2 Keep the glass in this position until water comes out of the dispenser. It may take about 1½ minutes.
3 Continue dispensing water for about three minutes to flush the system and plumbing connections of any impurities (stopping to empty the glass as necessary).
NOTE
The water dispenser has a built-in device that shuts off the water flow after three minutes of continuous use. To reset this shutoff device, simply release the dispenser paddle.
Ice Maker Operation & Care
The ice maker, ice bin, and dispenser feeding mechanism are located in the top of the freezer compartment. After the refrigerator is installed properly and has cooled for several hours, the ice maker can produce ice within 24 hours. It can completely fill an ice bin in about two days.
The ice maker produces four to six pounds of ice every
24 hours depending on usage conditions. Ice is produced at a rate of eight cubes every 75 to 90 minutes.
Using the Ice Maker after Installation
Before making ice for the first time, be sure to prime the water supply system. Air in new plumbing lines can result in two or three empty ice maker cycles. Furthermore, if the system is not flushed, the first ice cubes may be discolored or have an odd flavor.
IMPORTANT
Your ice maker is turned on at the factory so it can work as soon as you install your refrigerator. If you cannot connect a water supply, turn the ice maker’s
On/Off switch to Off. Otherwise, the ice maker’s fill valve may make a loud chattering noise when it attempts to operate without water.
Turning the Ice Maker On and Off
Ice production is controlled by the ice maker’s On/Off power switch. To gain access to the ice maker, pull the extra shelf out (some models). Press the switch to the
“O” position to turn it Off and press to the “I” position to turn it On.

Signal Arm
OFF ON

Signal Arm
The ice maker also has a built-in wire signal arm, that automatically stops ice production when the ice bin is full. This signal arm should not be used to manually stop the ice maker.
IMPORTANT
Small ice cubes or ice chips jamming in the ice maker may be a sign that your water filter needs changing.
If you have a side mounted ice maker you may also experience hollow cubes partially frozen cubes with water inside. When these cubes are harvested, they break open and spill water over the other ice cubes in the ice container, forming a solid mass of ice. As the water filter nears the end of its useful life and becomes clogged with particles, less water is delivered to the ice maker during each cycle. The ice maker can’t fill every cube in the ice maker mold, leading to small cubes or chips that can get caught between the ice ejector blades and the stripper. Remember, if your ice maker is jamming with small ice cubes or it’s been six months or longer since you last changed your water filter replace the water filter with a new one. Poor quality household water may require the filter to be changed more frequently.

AUTOMATIC ICE & WATEr DISPENSEr (CONTINUED)
Ice Maker/Dispenser Tips
• Ice cubes stored too long may develop an odd flavor. Empty the ice container as explained below.
• 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 by pressing the On/Off switch.
• 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.
CAUTION
Chemicals from a malfunctioning water softener can damage the ice maker. If the water supply to your refrigerator is softened, be sure the softener is maintained to work properly.
Cleaning the Ice Maker
Clean the ice maker and ice bin at regular intervals, particularly before you take a vacation or move.
To clean the ice maker:
1 Turn off ice production by pressing the ice maker’s
Off/On switch.
2 Remove the ice bin by lifting up and out.
3 Empty and carefully clean the ice bin with mild detergent. Rinse with clear water. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners.
4 Allow the ice bin to dry completely before replacing in the freezer.
5 Remove ice chips and clean the ice bin shelf and the freezer door chute.
6 Replace the ice bin. Press the ice maker’s Off/On switch to resume ice production.
remove and empty the ice storage bin if:
• An extended power failure (one 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.
CAUTION
NEVER use an ice pick or similar sharp instrument to break up the ice. This could damage the ice storage bin and dispenser mechanism.
IMPORTANT
When removing or replacing the ice bin, DO NOT rotate the auger in the ice bin. If the auger is accidentally rotated, you must realign the auger by turning it in
90 degree turns (see below) until the ice bin fits into place with the drive mechanism. If the auger is
not properly aligned when replacing the ice bin, the refrigerator will only dispense Crushed Ice. The freezer door may also not close properly causing warm air to leak into the freezer.

NOrMAL OPErATING SOUNDS AND SIGHTS
Understanding the Sounds you may Hear
Your new, high-efficiency refrigerator may introduce unfamiliar sounds. These sounds normally indicate your refrigerator is operating correctly. Some surfaces on floors, walls, and kitchen cabinets may make these sounds more noticeable.
Following is a list of major components in your refrigerator and the sounds they can cause:
A Evaporator Refrigerant through the evaporator may create a boiling or gurgling sound.
B Evaporator fan You may hear air being forced through the refrigerator by the evaporator fan.
C Defrost heater During defrost cycles, water dripping onto the defrost heater may cause a hissing or sizzling sound. After defrosting, a popping sound may occur.
D Automatic ice maker When ice has been produced, you will hear ice cubes falling into the ice bin.
E Electronic control & automatic defrost
control These parts can produce a snapping or clicking sound when turning the cooling system on and off.
F Condenser fan You may hear air being forced through the condenser.
G Compressor Modern, high-efficiency compressors run much faster than in the past. The compressor may have a high-pitched hum or pulsating sound.
H Water valve Makes a buzzing sound each time it opens to fill the ice maker.
I Drain pan (not removable) You may hear water dripping into the drain pan during the defrost cycle.
J Condenser May create minimal sounds from forced air.
K Motorized damper May produce a light humming during operation.
L Ice dispensing paddle When dispensing ice, you will hear a snapping or clicking sound when the solenoid opens and closes the ice chute.
Energy efficient foam in your refrigerator is not a sound insulator.
NOTE
NOTE
During automatic defrost cycle, a red glow in the back wall vents of your freezer compartment is normal.

CArE & CLEANING
Protecting your investment
Keeping your refrigerator clean maintains appearance and prevents odor build-up. Wipe up any spills immediately and clean the freezer and fresh food 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.
NOTE
If you set your temperature controls to turn off cooling, power to lights and other electrical components will continue until you unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
CAUTION
• Pull the refrigerator straight out to move it. Shifting it from side to side may damage flooring. Be careful not to move the refrigerator beyond the plumbing connections.
• Damp objects stick to cold metal surfaces. Do not touch refrigerated surfaces with wet or damp hands.
IMPORTANT
If you store or move your refrigerator in freezing temperatures, be sure to completely drain the water supply system. Failure to do so could result in water leaks when the refrigerator is put back into service. Contact a service representative to perform this operation.
