A. Off position B. On position Ice maker operation

• After freezer section reaches normal temperature, ice maker fills with water and begins operating. Allow 24– 48 hours after installation before first harvest of ice. Ice maker produces 7 to 9 harvests of ice in a 24-hour period under ideal conditions.

• After ice is formed, ice maker drops ice cubes into ice storage bucket. During ice production, ice maker arm raises and lowers. When ice storage bucket is full, ice maker arm turns ice maker off. Discard first 3 harvests of ice after initially connecting refrigerator to household water supply and after extended periods of nonuse.

• Stop ice production by raising ice maker arm. A definite click is heard when proper position is reached. Ice maker arm will remain in off position until pushed down. Caution To avoid damage to ice maker, observe the following:

• Do not force ice maker arm down or up.

• Do not place or store anything in ice storage bucket. Stor-Mor

Dispenser (some models) Caution To avoid personal injury or property damage, observe following instructions:

• Do not operate dispenser with freezer door open.

• Do not put fingers, hands, or any foreign object into dispenser opening.

• Do not use sharp objects to break ice. Water Dispenser Operation It takes approximately 1 minute after pressing dispenser bar the first time before water dispenses after initial connection of water supply. Discard first 10 to 14 containers of water after first connecting refrigerator to household water supply and after extended periods of nonuse.

• Dispense water by pressing glass or cup against water dispenser bar.

• Stop water dispensing by releasing pressure on bar. A small amount of water may continue to fall. Spill shelf is not self-draining. Large spills should be wiped dry. Ice Dispenser Operation Caution To avoid property damage, do not dispense ice directly into thin glass, fine china, or delicate crystal.

• Select cubed or crushed mode by sliding lever on dispenser panel. Dispense ice by pressing glass or cup against ice dispenser bar. Important Reduce spraying of crushed ice by holding glass or cup directly under ice chute and as high as possible in dispenser area. CUBED CRUSHED ICE Cup placement in dispenser

• Stop ice dispensing by releasing pressure on bar before container is full. Some ice will continue to fall. Do not remove container until last of ice falls. If dispensing ice continuously, dispenser motor is designed to shut off after 3 to 5 minutes. Motor resets after 3 minutes and dispensing can continue. A slight delay occurs when switching between cubed and crushed modes. Pieces of crushed ice will vary in size and shape. "Snow" may form on door and ice chute when repeatedly dispensing crushed ice. Allow "snow" to evaporate or wipe dry. Dispenser operates only with cubes of proper size and crescent shape. Do not add purchased ice cubes or other shaped cubes to ice bucket. Removing Ice Bucket

• Remove ice bucket by lifting bucket and pulling out.

• Replace ice bucket by sliding in until bucket locks in place. Ice bucket must be locked in place for proper ice dispensing. If freezer door does not close, bucket is not in proper location.13 Dispenser Light A light is activated when dispensing ice or water.

• Light can be turned on or off by pushing switch located underneath dispenser and left of ice dispenser bar.

Today’s refrigerators have new features and are more energy efficient. As a result, certain sounds may be unfamiliar. These sounds are normal and will soon become familiar. These sounds also indicate refrigerator is operating and performing as designed.

1. Freezer control clicks when starting or stopping

2. Freezer fan air rushes and whirs.

3. Sealed system (evaporator and heat exchanger)

refrigerant flow gurgles, pops or sounds like boiling water.

6. Compressor has a high pitched hum or pulsating

7. Ice cubes from ice maker (some models) drop into

Ice auger (Ice ‘N’ Water

Dispenser models) hums as auger agitates ice during dispensing. Ice auger is located in freezer door. (not shown) Ice maker water valve hookup (some models) buzzes when ice maker fills with water. This occurs whether or not refrigerator is connected to water supply. If refrigerator is not connected to water supply, stop sound by raising ice maker arm to off position. Water valve hook up is located in back, bottom, left hand corner. (not shown) Foam insulation is very energy efficient and has excellent insulating capabilities. However, foam insulation is not as sound absorbent as previously used fiberglass insulation. (not shown)

Sound location17 Energy Tips This refrigerator is designed to be one of the most energy efficient refrigerators available. Reduce energy use by observing the following.

• Operate in normal household temperatures of 13° to 43°C away from heat sources and direct sunlight.
