HOW THE WATER DISPENSER WORKS HOW THE ICE DISPENSER WORKS
25
The water dispenser water tank is located behind the
upper crisper bin in the refrigerator compartment.
After the refrigerator is connected to water fill the water
tank by holding a large container against the dispenser
paddle to run the water and clear air from lines. This may
take a few minutes. Purge and dispense a minimum of 2
litres of water. Initial water may be black in colour. This is
residual carbon dust from the filter and is non toxic. If the
water is slow to shut off or the dispenser is dripping air
may still be in the lines. Either purge more water through
the system to remove this air or allow some time for the air
to be removed over subsequent dispensing. The tank will
automatically refill as you dispense water.
CAUTION!
Remember, do not drink this purged water as it may
have impurities in it!
TIPS & INFORMATION!
The water connection to your ice and water product
should only be done by a licensed refrigeration
mechanic, plumber or electrician.
Normal operation — for cool water, add ice.
To provide the convenience of filtered water in the same
location as the ice dispenser, it is necessary to route the
tubes from the refrigerator compartment. This means
the first half glass of water will not be quite as cold as the
following 3 or 4 glasses. If you require cool water from the
first glass, we recommend that you first add crushed or
cubed ice to your glass then the water. In times of high
use, water may be dispensed before it has time to cool.
Once this occurs, the dispensed water temperature will be
similar to that of your normal tap water until the tank has
had a chance to re-cool. The addition of cubed or crushed
ice will allow you to still enjoy cool water should this occur.
CAUTION!
Chemicals from a malfunctioning softener can dam-
age the ice maker. If the ice maker is connected to
soft water, ensure that the softener is maintained and
working properly.
The ice maker is located in the top section of the freezer
compartment. After installation, switch the ice maker on at
the controls on the door to begin making ice. A full tray of
ice may not be created for the first few batches, due to air
in the refrigerator’s new plumbing lines. The first batches of
ice cubes may be discoloured or have an odd flavour, due
to the refrigerator’s new plumbing connections. Discard
this ice until batches are free of discolouration or taste
problems. The ice maker turns off automatically when the
ice container is full. To stop ice production, turn the ice
maker off at the electronic display on the door.
NOTE: During the normal operation of the icemaker,
the ice detecting arm is lowered to detect the level of
ce in the bin (see diagram above). At times, this may
be visible when the door is open.
TIPS & INFORMATION!
•Ice cubes stored too long may develop an odd flavour.
Remove the ice container and discard the ice cubes.
• Occasionally shake the ice container to keep
ice separated.
• After you take delivery of the refrigerator, keep the ice
maker switched off at the controls on the door until the
refrigerator is connected to the water supply. The switch
should also be kept in the OFF position whenever the
water supply is turned off.
CAUTION!
If the dispensing paddle is pushed for an extended
period the dispenser motor may overload and stop.
The overload protector will reset automatically after
it has cooled down sufficiently.
• If a large quantity of ice is needed at one time,
it is best to remove cubes directly from the ice
cube container
• When the ice maker is operating, it is normal to
hear the sound of:
- the motor running
- ice dropping into the ice container
- the water valve opening or closing
- ice loosening in the tray
- running water.
