AUTOMATIC ICE AND WATER DISPENSER 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. Priming the water supply system CAUTION For proper dispenser operation, recommended water supply pressure should fall between 30 psi and 100 psi.
AUTOMATIC ICE AND WATER DISPENSER NOTE The ice maker also has a built-in plastic 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. Ice maker/dispenser tips • If refrigerator is not connected to a water supply or the water supply is turned off, turn off the ice maker as described in the previous section.
AUTOMATIC ICE AND WATER DISPENSER Remove and empty the ice bin if: • • An extended power failure (one hour or longer) causes ice cubes in the ice bin to melt and refreeze together after power is restored, jamming the dispenser mechanism. The ice dispenser is used infrequently. Ice cubes will freeze together in the bin, jamming the dispenser mechanism. Shake the bin to loosen the cubes, or clean as explained above.

STORING FOOD AND SAVING ENERGY Ideas for storing foods Fresh food storage • Keep the fresh food compartment between 34°F and 44°F with an optimum temperature of 37°F. • Avoid overcrowding the refrigerator shelves, which reduces air circulation and causes uneven cooling. • • Store fruits and vegetables in crisper drawers, where trapped moisture helps preserve food quality for longer time periods. • Do not wash items until ready to use. Remove excess water before placing inside unit.

Ice maker is not making enough ice.
TROUBLESHOOTING 37 Concern Potential Cause Common Solution Automatic Ice Maker (continued) Ice cubes are freezing together. • Ice cubes are not being used frequently enough or interruption of power for prolonged time. • Remove ice container and discard ice. The ice maker will produce fresh supply. Ice should be used at least twice weekly to keep the cubes separated. • Ice cubes are hollow (shells of ice with water inside).
Concern TROUBLESHOOTING Potential Cause Water not cold enough. • Water has an odd taste and/or odor. • • Common Solution As warmer tap water goes through the filter and enters the water supply system, the chilled water is pushed through to the dispenser. Once the chilled water is used up, it will take several hours to bring the freshly replaced water to a cooler temperature. Water has not been dispensed for an extended period of time. • Add ice to cup or container before dispensing water.
TROUBLESHOOTING Concern Potential Cause Running of Refrigerator Compressor does not run. Refrigerator seems to run too much or too long. 39 Common Solution • Refrigerator is in defrost cycle. • This is normal for a fully automatic defrost refrigerator. The defrost cycle occurs periodically, lasting about 30 minutes. • Plug at electrical outlet is disconnected. • Ensure plug is tightly pushed into outlet. • House fuse blown or tripped circuit breaker.
TROUBLESHOOTING Concern Potential Cause Common Solution Water/Moisture/Frost Outside Refrigerator Moisture collects on outside of refrigerator or between doors. • Weather is humid. • This is normal in humid weather.
