Automatic Ice Maker

(select models)

Note

• Energy rating guides that are posted on the refrigerator at the time of purchase do not include optional ice maker energy usage.

Some models are automatic ice maker ready. The number of the appropriate ice maker kit is IC10S. The kit contains installation instructions and water connection instructions.

Other models have a factory installed ice maker.

Connect the ice maker to the water supply as instructed on page 5. Proper water flow and a level refrigerator are essential for optimal ice maker performance.

Operating Instructions

• Confirm ice bin is in place and ice maker arm is down.

• To check the ice level or gain access to the ice bin, lift open the door on the ice bin.

• After freezer section reaches between 0° to 2° F (-18° to -17° C), ice maker fills with water and begins operating. You will have a complete harvest of ice approximately every three hours.

• Allow approximately 24 hours after installation to receive first harvest of ice.

• Discard ice created within first 12 hours of operation to verify system is flushed of impurities.

• Stop ice production by raising ice maker arm until click is heard.

• Ice maker will remain in the OFF position until arm is pushed down.

• The first one or two batches will probably contain undersized and irregular cubes because of air in the supply line.

• When the ice cubes are ejected it is normal for several cubes to be joined together at the ends. They can easily be broken apart. The ice maker will continue to make ice until the supply of ice cubes raises the ice maker arm, shutting the ice maker off.

• Certain sounds may accompany the various cycles of the ice maker. The motor may have a slight hum, the cubes will rattle as they fall into an empty storage pan and the water valve may click or “buzz” occasionally.

• If the ice is not used frequently, the ice cubes will become cloudy, shrink, stick together and taste stale.

Empty the ice storage bin periodically and wash it in lukewarm water. Be sure to dry the bin thoroughly before replacing it.

• Beverages and foods should not be placed in the ice storage bin for quick chilling. These items can block the ice maker arm, causing the ice maker to malfunction.

• Turn off the ice maker by raising the ice maker arm when the water supply is to be shut off for several hours.

To Remove the Ice Bin:

• Pull it forward, away from the ice maker. To avoid the ice maker dumping ice while the bin is removed, turn the ice maker off by raising the sensor arm.

To Install the Ice Bin:

• Reverse the above procedure. Turn the ice maker on by lowering the ice maker arm.

WARNING


• Do not place fingers or hands on the automatic ice making mechanism while the refrigerator is plugged in. This will help protect you from possible injury. It will also prevent interference with moving parts of the ejector mechanism and the heating element that releases the cubes.

• Under certain rare circumstances, ice cubes may be discolored, usually appearing with a green-bluish hue. The cause of this unusual discoloration can be a combination of factors such as certain characteristics of local waters, household plumbing and the accumulation of copper salts in an inactive water supply line which feeds the ice maker.

Continued consumption of such discolored ice cubes may be injurious to health. If such discoloration is observed, discard the ice cubes and contact your dealer to purchase and install a water line filter.

• Water damage due to improper water connection may cause mold/mildew growth.

• Clean up water and ice spills to avoid personal injury and to prevent mold/mildew growth.

Water Filter Removal and

Installation (select models)

WARNING

To avoid serious illness or death, do not use refrigerator where water is unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after use of filter.

CAUTION

After installing a new water filter, always dispense water for two minutes before removing the filter for any reason. Air trapped in system may cause water and cartridge to eject.

Use caution when removing.

• The bypass cap does not filter water. Be sure to have replacement cartridge available when filter change is required.

• If water filtration system has been allowed to freeze, replace filter cartridge.

• If system has not been used for several months, or water has an unpleasant taste or odor, flush system by dispensing water for two to three minutes. If unpleasant taste or odor persists, change filter cartridge.

Initial Installation

The water filter is located in the upper right-hand corner of the fresh food compartment.

1. Remove blue bypass cap and retain for later use.

2. Remove sealing label from end of filter and insert into filter head.

3. Rotate gently clockwise until filter stops. Snap filter cover closed.

4. Reduce water spurts by flushing air from system.

Run water continuously for two minutes through dispenser until water runs steady. During initial use, allow about a one- to two-minute delay in water dispersal to allow internal water tank to fill.

• Additional flushing may be required in some households where water is of poor quality.

Replacing Water Filter

IMPORTANT: Air trapped in system may cause water and cartridge to eject. Use caution when removing.

1. Turn filter counterclockwise until it releases from filter head.

2. Drain water from filter into sink, and dispose in normal household trash.

3. Wipe up excess water in filter cover and continue with Initial Installation, steps 2 through 4.

The filter should be changed at least every 12 months.

IMPORTANT: Condition of water and amount used determines life span of water filter cartridge. If water use is high, or if water is of poor quality, replacement may need to take place more often.

To purchase a replacement water filter cartridge, contact your dealer or call 1-800-JENNAIR

(1-800-536-6247) U.S.A. and Canada.

The dispenser feature may be used without a water filter cartridge. If you choose this option, replace filter with blue bypass cap.

Fresh Food Storage

• The fresh food compartment of a refrigerator should be kept between 34°- 40° F (1°- 4° C) with an optimum temperature of 37° F (3° C). To check the temperature, place an appliance thermometer in a glass of water and place in the center of the refrigerator. Check after 24 hours. If the temperature is above 40° F (4° C) adjust the control as explained on pages 10, 11 and 12.

• Avoid overcrowding the refrigerator shelves. This reduces the circulation of air around the food and results in uneven cooling.

Fruits and Vegetables

• Storage in the crisper drawers traps humidity to help preserve the fruit and vegetable quality for longer time periods (see page 15).

• Sort fruits and vegetables before storage and use bruised or soft items first. Discard those showing signs of decay.

• Always wrap odorous foods such as onions and cabbage so the odor does not transfer to other foods.

• While vegetables need a certain amount of humidity to remain fresh, too much humidity can shorten storage times (especially leafy vegetables). Drain vegetables well before storing.

• Wait to wash fresh produce until right before use.

Meat and Cheese

• Raw meat and poultry should be wrapped securely so leakage and contamination of other foods or surfaces does not occur.

• Occasionally mold will develop on the surface of hard cheeses (Swiss, Cheddar, Parmesan). Cut off at least an inch around and below the moldy area. Keep your knife or instrument out of the mold itself. Do not try to save individual cheese slices, soft cheese, cottage cheese, cream, sour cream or yogurt when mold appears.

Dairy Food

• Most dairy foods such as milk, yogurt, sour cream and cottage cheese have freshness dates on their cartons for appropriate length of storage. Store these foods in the original carton and refrigerate immediately after purchasing and after each use.

Frozen Food Storage

• The freezer compartment of a refrigerator should be kept at approximately 0° F (-18° C). To check the temperature, place an appliance thermometer between the frozen packages and check after 24 hours. If the temperature is above 0° F (-18° C), adjust the control as described on page 10, 11 and 12.

• A freezer operates more efficiently when it is at least two-thirds full.

Packaging Foods for Freezing

• To minimize dehydration and quality deterioration use aluminum foil, freezer wrap, freezer bags or airtight containers. Force as much air out of the packages as possible and be sure they are tightly sealed. Trapped air can cause the food to dry out, change color and develop an off-flavor (freezer burn).

• Overwrap fresh meats and poultry with suitable freezer wrap prior to freezing.

• Do not refreeze meat that has completely thawed.

Loading the Freezer

• Avoid adding too much warm food to the freezer at one time. This overloads the freezer, slows the rate of freezing and can raise the temperature of frozen foods.

• Leave space between the packages so cold air can circulate freely, allowing food to freeze as quickly as possible.

• Avoid storing hard-to-freeze foods such as ice cream and orange juice on the freezer door shelves. These foods are best stored in the freezer interior where the temperature varies less with door openings.

Refer to the Food Storage Chart on pages 24, 25 and 26 for approximate storage times.

Removing Odors From

Refrigerator

WARNING

To avoid electrical shock which can cause severe personal injury or death, disconnect power to refrigerator before cleaning. After cleaning, reconnect power.

1. Remove all food and turn the refrigerator OFF.

2. Disconnect power to the refrigerator.

3. Clean the walls, floor, ceiling of cabinet interior, drawers, shelves and gaskets according to the instructions (see page 26).

4. Dilute mild detergent and brush solution into crevices using a plastic bristle brush. Let stand for five minutes. Rinse surfaces with warm water. Dry surfaces with a soft, clean cloth.

5. Wash and dry all bottles, containers and jars.

Discard spoiled or expired items.

6. Wrap or store odor-causing foods in tightly sealed containers to prevent recurring odors.

7. Reconnect power to refrigerator and return food to refrigerator.

8. Allow the refrigerator to cool.

9. After 24 hours, check if odor has been eliminated.

If odor is still present:

1. Remove drawers and place on top shelf of refrigerator.

2. Pack refrigerator and freezer sections – including doors – with crumpled sheets of black and white newspaper.

3. Place charcoal briquettes randomly on crumpled newspaper in both freezer and refrigerator compartments.

4. Close doors and let stand 24 to 48 hours.

Energy Saving Tips

• Avoid overcrowding refrigerator shelves. This reduces air circulation around food and causes refrigerator to run longer.

• Avoid adding too much warm food to refrigerator at one time. This overloads compartments and slows rate of cooling.

• Do not use aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper toweling as shelf liners. This decreases air flow and causes refrigerator to run less efficiently.

• A freezer that is two-thirds full runs most efficiently.

• Locate refrigerator in coolest part of room. Avoid areas of direct sunlight, or near heating ducts, registers or other heat producing appliances. If this is not possible, isolate exterior by using a section of cabinet or an added layer of insulation.

• Clean door gaskets every three months according to cleaning instructions. This will assure that door seals properly and refrigerator runs efficiently.

• Take time to organize items in refrigerator to reduce time that door is open.

• Be sure your doors are closing securely by leveling refrigerator as instructed in your installation instructions.

• Clean condenser coils as indicated in the cleaning instructions every three months. This will increase energy efficiency and cooling performance.

OUNDS

Improvements in refrigeration design may produce sounds in your new refrigerator that are different or were not present in an older model. These improvements were made to create a refrigerator that is better at preserving food, is more energy efficient, and is quieter overall. Because new units run quieter, sounds may be detected that were present in older units, but were masked by higher sound levels. Many of these sounds are normal. Please note that the surfaces adjacent to a refrigerator, such as hard walls, floors and cabinetry may make these sounds seem even louder. The following are some of the normal sounds that may be noticed in a new refrigerator.

SOUND

Clicking

Air rushing or whirring

Gurgling or boiling sound

Thumping

Vibrating noise

Buzzing

Humming

POSSIBLE CAUSE

• Freezer control (A) clicks when starting or stopping compressor.

• Defrost timer or electric damper control (select models) (B) sounds like an electric clock and snaps in and out of defrost cycle.

• Condenser fan (D) makes this noise while operating.

• Freezer fan (C) makes this noise while operating.

• Freezer fan (C) slows to a stop as the freezer door is opened.

• Evaporator (E) and heat exchanger (F) refrigerant make this noise when flowing.

• Ice cubes from ice maker drop into ice bucket (G).

• Dispenser ice chute (H) closing.

• Compressor (I) makes a pulsating sound while running.

• Refrigerator is not level.

• Ice maker water valve (J) hookup buzzes when ice maker fills with water.

• Ice maker (K) is in the ‘on’ position without water connection.

• Ice auger (L) hums as auger agitates ice during dispensing.

SOLUTION

• Normal operation









• See Leveling (see page 9).



• Stop sound by raising ice maker arm to OFF position. See Automatic Ice

Maker, page 17 for details.

• Normal operation • Compressor (I) can make a high pitched hum while operating.

• Solenoid valve (M) operating ice chute door.
