Frequently Asked Questions - KBSD608ESS KITCHENAID

The ice maker is not producing ice, what should I do?

Check that the water supply is connected and the shut-off valve is open. Make sure the ice maker is turned on (control arm or switch in ON position). After a new installation, wait 24 hours for the first production. If the problem persists, check for kinks in the water line or a clogged water filter.

The water dispenser is not working, why?

Ensure the freezer door is fully closed. Verify the refrigerator is connected to the water supply and the shut-off valve is open. Water pressure must be at least 30 psi (207 kPa). If the water filter is installed, it may be clogged or improperly installed; temporarily remove it. For new installations, flush the system by dispensing 3 gallons (12 L) of water.

The temperature inside the refrigerator is too high, how can I fix it?

Check that the vents are not blocked by food. Ensure the doors are fully closed and not opened too frequently. If you added a large amount of food, wait a few hours. Temperature settings may need adjustment: lower the temperature one increment and wait 24 hours to evaluate. On digital models, try turning off and then on the cooling.

The doors are not closing properly, what should I check?

Ensure no food packaging or bins are blocking closure. Check that the shelves are properly in place. If the gaskets are dirty or sticky, clean them with mild soap and warm water, then dry. If the problem persists, the refrigerator may be unlevel; adjust the leveling legs.

How do I clean the interior of the refrigerator?

Unplug the appliance by setting the power switch to OFF (behind the top grille). Remove all removable parts (shelves, bins). Hand wash with a soft sponge and mild detergent in warm water. To eliminate odors, use a solution of 2 tablespoons of baking soda per 1 quart (1 L) of water. Rinse and dry thoroughly before restarting.

How do I replace the water filter?

The filter is located in the base grille below the freezer door. Push the eject button to remove the old filter. Remove the cap by turning it counterclockwise. Place the cap on the new filter aligning the arrows. Insert the new filter until the eject button pops out. Then flush the system by dispensing 3 gallons (12 L) of water or discarding the first three batches of ice.

What to do in case of a power outage?

If the outage lasts less than 24 hours, keep the doors closed to maintain cold. If it lasts longer, remove frozen food and place it in cold storage or use dry ice (2 lb per cubic foot of space). A full freezer stays cold longer than a half-full one. Foods containing ice crystals can be refrozen, but discard those that are poor quality.

How do I activate Sabbath mode?

On the control panel, press the SABBATH MODE button. The interior lights and ice maker turn off, but temperature settings remain unchanged. On some models with a dispenser, also activate Holiday mode by pressing ICE, LIGHT and LOCKOUT simultaneously for 3 seconds. To deactivate, press SABBATH MODE again or repeat the key sequence.

Why is there moisture inside the refrigerator?

Some moisture buildup is normal. This may be due to high humidity or frequent door openings. Ensure doors close tightly. Reduce opening frequency. If the problem persists, check that the door gaskets are clean and in good condition.

How do I adjust the refrigerator and freezer temperatures?

Use the PLUS (+) or MINUS (-) buttons on the control panel to adjust the temperature. Recommended settings are 37°F (3°C) for the refrigerator and 0°F (-18°C) for the freezer. Wait at least 24 hours between each change. You can also press Set to Recommended to return to factory settings. To display in Celsius, press the F/C button.

Proper Disposal of Your Old Refrigerator

WARNING

Suffocation Hazard

Remove doors from your old refrigerator.

Failure to do so can result in death or brain damage.

IMPORTANT: Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators are still dangerous, even if they will sit for "just a few days." If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator, please follow these instructions to help prevent accidents.

Before You Throw Away Your Old Refrigerator or Freezer:

Take off the doors.
Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.

Important information to know about disposal of refrigerants:

Dispos of refrigerator in accordance with Federal and Local regulations. Refrigerants must be evacuated by a licensed, EPA certified refrigerant technician in accordance with established procedures.

BEFORE USE

WARNING

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move and install refrigerator.

Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

Remove the Packaging

• Remove tape and glue residue from surfaces before turning on the refrigerator. Rub a small amount of liquid dish soap over the adhesive with your fingers. Wipe with warm water and dry.
• Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, flammable fluids, or abrasive cleaners to remove tape or glue. These products can damage the surface of your refrigerator. For more information, see "Refrigerator Safety."
  Dispose of/recycle all packaging materials.

When Moving Your Refrigerator:

Your refrigerator is heavy. When moving the refrigerator for cleaning or service, be sure to cover the floor with cardboard or hardboard to avoid floor damage. Always pull the refrigerator straight out when moving it. Do not wiggle or "walk" the refrigerator when trying to move it, as floor damage could occur.

Clean Before Using

After you remove all of the packaging materials, clean the inside of your refrigerator before using it. See the cleaning instructions in "Refrigerator Care."

Important information to know about glass shelves and covers:

Do not clean glass shelves or covers with warm water when they are cold. Shelves and covers may break if exposed to sudden temperature changes or impact, such as bumping. Tempered glass is designed to shatter into many small, pebble-size pieces. This is normal. Glass shelves and covers are heavy. Use both hands when removing them to avoid dropping.

Water Supply Requirements

Read all directions before you begin.

IMPORTANT:

When your refrigerator was installed, the water connection from the water source should have been connected to your refrigerator. If your refrigerator is not connected to a water source, see "Connect to Water Line" in the Installation Instructions. If you have any questions about your water connection, see "Troubleshooting" or call a licensed, qualified plumber.
If you turn the refrigerator on before the water line is connected, turn the ice maker OFF. See "Ice Maker and Storage Bin."
All installations must meet local plumbing code requirements.

Water Pressure

A cold water supply with water pressure between 30 and 120 psi (207 and 827kPa is required to operate the water dispenser and ice maker.

NOTE: If the water pressure is less than what is required, the flow of water from the water dispenser could decrease or ice cubes could be hollow or irregular shaped. If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, qualified plumber.

Reverse Osmosis Water Supply

IMPORTANT: The pressure of the water supply coming out of a reverse osmosis system going to the water inlet valve of the refrigerator needs to be between 30 and 120 psi (207 and 827kPa ).

If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is connected to your cold water supply, the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system needs to be a minimum of 40 psi (276 kPa).

If the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system is less than 40 psi (276 kPa):

Check to see whether the sediment filter in the reverse osmosis system is blocked. Replace the filter if necessary.
■Allow the storage tank on the reverse osmosis system to refill after heavy usage.
If your refrigerator has a water filter, it may further reduce the water pressure when used in conjunction with a reverse osmosis system. Remove the water filter. See "Water Filtration System."

If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, qualified plumber.

NOTE: It is normal for ice to stick together in the ice bin. Ice may be dispensed or used more frequently which will break up the ice. It is recommended that the ice container be emptied and cleaned as needed.

To clean the ice storage bin:

1. Empty the ice container. Use warm water to melt the ice if necessary.

NOTE: Do not use anything sharp to break up the ice in the bin or bucket. This can cause damage to the ice container and the dispenser mechanism.

1. Wash ice bin with a mild detergent, rinse well and dry thoroughly. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners or solvents.

Remember

■Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Allow 3 days to completely fill ice container.
Discard the first three batches of ice produced to avoid impurities that may be flushed out of the system.

The quality of your ice will be only as good as the quality of the water supplied to your ice maker.
Avoid connecting the ice maker to a softened water supply.
Water softener chemicals (such as salt) can damage parts of the ice maker and lead to poor quality ice. If a softened water supply cannot be avoided, make sure the water softener is operating properly and is well maintained.
It is normal for the ice cubes to be attached at the corners. They will break apart easily.

For Style 1 ice maker, do not force the wire shutoff arm up or down.

• Do not store anything on top of the ice maker or in the ice storage bin/bucket.

Water Filtration System

Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system. Systems certified for cyst reduction may be used on disinfected waters that may contain filterable cysts.

Water Filter Indicator (on some models)

The water filter indicator, located on the control panel, will help you know when to change the water filter.

A new water filter should display a reading of 99% . The reading in the display will decrease as the filter life is used. A replacement water filter should be ordered when "Order Filter" is displayed. It is recommended that you replace the filter when "Change Filter" is displayed or when water flow to your water dispenser and/or ice maker decreases noticeably. See "Changing the Water Filter" later in this section.

NOTE: Dispenser models have a filter reset on the freezer compartment door. Non-Dispenser models have a Good/Order Filter/Replace Filter indicator.

REFRIGERATOR FEATURES

Refrigerator Shelves

Important information to know about glass shelves and covers:

Do not clean glass shelves or covers with warm water when they are cold. Shelves and covers may break if exposed to sudden temperature changes or impact, such as bumping. Tempered glass is designed to shatter into many small, pebble-size pieces. This is normal. Glass shelves and covers are heavy. Use both hands when removing them to avoid dropping.

The shelves in your refrigerator are adjustable to meet your individual storage needs.

Storing similar food items together in your refrigerator and adjusting the shelves to fit different heights of items will make finding the exact item you want easier. It will also reduce the amount of time the refrigerator door is open and help save energy.

Shelves and Shelf Frames

To remove and replace a shelf/frame:

1. Remove the shelf/frame by tilting it up at the front and lifting it out of the shelf supports. Pull shelf straight out.
2. Replace the shelf/frame by guiding the rear shelf hooks into the shelf supports. Tilt the front of the shelf up until the rear shelf hooks drop into the shelf supports.
3. Lower the front of the shelf and check that the shelf is in position.

Ingredient Care Center

The control for the Ingredient Care Center adjusts the storage temperature of the pan. Cold air flows into the pan through the air duct between the freezer and the refrigerator. Setting the controls allows more or less cold air through the air duct.

To Adjust the Ingredient Care Center

1. Choose a setting based on the item to be stored in the pan.
2. Push the button that corresponds to that setting.
3. The indicator light for that setting will illuminate to verify that the pan is ready to be loaded.

Remove and Replace the Ingredient Care Center Cover

1. Remove food from Ingredient Care Center cover. Pull drawer out about 4^ (10.16 cm). Reach under the glass shelf with both hands and lift gently upward until back of shelf is free. Tilt the shelf at an angle and remove the shelf from the refrigerator. Be sure not to bump the glass.

1. Replace the cover by holding the glass shelf firmly with both hands, tilt the shelf at an angle and position it above the support rails. Place shelf gently on support rails on side wall.

Meat Storage Guide

Store most meat in original wrapping as long as it is airtight and moisture-proof. Rewrap if necessary. See the following chart for storage times. When storing meat longer than the times given, freeze the meat.

Fresh fish or shellfish. use same day as purchased Chicken, ground beef, variety meats (liver) 1-2 days

Cold cuts, steaks/roasts 3-5 days Cured meats. 7-10 days

Leftovers - Cover leftovers with plastic wrap, aluminum foil, or plastic containers with tight lids.

Crisper and Covers

To remove and replace the crisper:

1. Slide the crisper drawer straight out to the stop. Lift the front of the drawer with one hand while supporting the bottom with the other hand. Slide the drawer out the rest of the way.

2. To replace the crisper drawer, place the drawer onto slides and push the drawer back until securely in position.

3. Test the crisper drawer to make sure it has been replaced properly.

FREEZER FEATURES

Freezer Shelf

To remove and replace the shelf:

1. Remove the shelf by lifting it up and pulling it straight out.
2. Replace the shelf by putting it over the supports and lowering it into place.

Frozen Food Storage Guide

Storage times will vary according to the quality and type of food, the type of packaging or wrap used (should be airtight and moisture-proof), and the storage temperature. Ice crystals inside a sealed package are normal. This simply means that moisture in the food and air inside the package have condensed, creating ice crystals.

Put no more unfrozen food into the freezer than will freeze within 24 hours (no more than 2 to 3 lbs of food per cubic foot [907-1,350 g per 28 L] of freezer space). Leave enough space in the freezer for air to circulate around packages. Be sure to leave enough room for the door to close tightly.

For more information on preparing food for freezing, check a freezer guide or reliable cookbook.

Freezer Basket

The freezer basket can be used to store bags of frozen fruits and vegetables that may slide off freezer shelves.

To remove and replace the freezer basket:

1. Pull the basket straight out to the stop.
2. Lift the front of the basket and slide it out the rest of the way.

1. Replace the basket by positioning it on the side wall guide rails. Lift the basket front slightly while pushing it past the guide rail stops and slide basket in the rest of the way.

DOOR FEATURES

REFRIGERATOR CARE

Cleaning

WARNING

Explosion Hazard

Use nonflammable cleaner.

Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

Both the refrigerator and freezer sections defrost automatically. However, clean both sections about once a month to avoid buildup of odors. Wipe up spills immediately.

To Clean Your Refrigerator:

1. Remove the top grille. See "Power On/Off Switch."
2. Press the power switch to OFF.
3. Remove all removable parts from inside, such as shelves, crispers, etc.

4. Hand wash, rinse, and dry removable parts and interior surfaces thoroughly. Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water.

5. Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners such as window sprays, scouring cleansers, flammable fluids, cleaning waxes, concentrated detergents, bleaches or cleansers containing petroleum products on plastic parts, interior and door liners or gaskets. Do not use paper towels, scouring pads, or other harsh cleaning tools. These can scratch or damage materials.
   To help remove odors, you can wash interior walls with a mixture of warm water and baking soda (2 tbs to 1 qt [26 g to 0.95 L] of water).

6. Wash stainless steel and painted metal exteriors with a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water. Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners, or cleaners containing chlorine. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.

NOTE: To keep your Stainless Steel refrigerator looking like new and to remove minor scuffs or marks, it is suggested that you use the manufacturer's approved Stainless Steel Cleaner and Polish.

IMPORTANT: This cleaner is for stainless steel parts only! Do not allow the Stainless Steel Cleaner and Polish to come into contact with any plastic parts such as the trim pieces, dispenser covers or door gaskets. If unintentional contact does occur, clean plastic part with a sponge and mild detergent in warm water. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. To order the cleaner, see "Accessories."
6. Press the power switch to ON.
7. Replace the top grille. See "Power On/Off Switch."

Lights

The lights in both the refrigerator and freezer compartments are LEDs which do not need to be replaced. If the lights do not illuminate when the door or drawer is opened, call for assistance or service. In the U.S.A., call 1-800-422-1230. In Canada call 1-800-807-6777.

Power Interruptions

If the power will be out for 24 hours or less, keep the door or doors closed (depending on your model) to help food stay cold and frozen.

If the power will be out for more than 24 hours, do one of the following:

Remove all frozen food and store it in a frozen food locker.

Place 2 lbs (907 g) of dry ice in the freezer for every cubic foot (28 L) of freezer space. This will keep the food frozen for 2 to 4 days.
If neither a food locker nor dry ice is available, consume or can perishable food at once.

REMEMBER: A full freezer stays cold longer than a partially filled one. A freezer full of meat stays cold longer than a freezer full of baked goods. If you see that food contains ice crystals, it may be refrozen, although the quality and flavor may be affected. If the condition of the food is poor, dispose of it.

Vacation Care

Your refrigerator is equipped with the Sabbath Mode feature, which is designed for the traveler or for those whose religious observances require turning off the lights and ice maker.
By selecting this feature, the temperature set points remain unchanged, the ice maker will be disabled and the interior lights will turn off. For most efficient refrigerator operation, it is recommended to exit Sabbath mode when it is no longer required.

If You Choose to Leave the Refrigerator On While You're Away:

1. Use up any perishables and freeze other items.
2. Press the SABBATH touch pad.
3. If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker, shut off the water supply to the ice maker.
4. Empty the ice bin.
5. When you return from vacation, press the SABBATH touch pad to return to normal operation.

If You Choose to Turn Off the Refrigerator Before You Leave:

1. Remove all food from the refrigerator.
2. If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker:

Turn off the water supply to the ice maker at least one day ahead of time.
■When the last load of ice drops, raise the wire shutoff arm to the OFF (up) position.

1. Under the Fridge or Freezer menu, press and hold COOLING OFF for 3 seconds to turn off cooling.

NOTE: To turn off the power completely, use the power ON/ OFF switch located behind the top grille. See "Power On/Off Switch."

1. Clean refrigerator, wipe it, and dry well.
2. Tape rubber or wood blocks to the tops of both doors to prop them open far enough for air to get in. This stops odor and mold from building up.
