NOTES:

If your model has a base grille filter system, make sure the

base grille filter is properly installed and the cap is in the

horizontal position.

Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or

of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before

or after the system.

2. Use a sturdy container to depress the water dispenser bar

until the water begins to flow. Flush the water system by

dispensing and discarding 2 to 3 gal. (8 to 12 L) of water.

Cleaning the system will take approximately 6 to 7 minutes

and will help clear air from the line. Additional flushing may be

required in some households.

NOTE: As air is cleared from the system, water may spurt out

of the dispenser.

3. Open the freezer door and turn on the ice maker by lowering

the wire shutoff arm. Please refer to the "Ice Maker and

Storage Bin" section for further instructions on the operation

of your ice maker.

Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice.

Discard the first three batches of ice produced.

Depending on your model, you may want to select the

maximum ice feature to increase the production of ice. To

do so, set the switch on the front of the ice maker to MAX.

Normal Sounds

Your new refrigerator may make sounds that your old one didn't

make. Because the sounds are new to you, you might be

concerned about them. Most of the new sounds are normal. Hard

surfaces, such as the floor, walls, and cabinets, can make the

sounds seem louder. The following describes the kinds of sounds

and what may be making them.

If your product is equipped with an ice maker, you will hear a

buzzing sound when the water valve opens to fill the ice

maker for each cycle.

Your refrigerator is designed to run more efficiently to keep

your food items at the desired temperatures and to minimize

energy usage. The high efficiency compressor and fans may

cause your refrigerator to run longer than your old one. You

may also hear a pulsating or high-pitched sound from the

compressor or fans adjusting to optimize performance.

You may hear the evaporator fan motor circulating air through

the refrigerator and freezer compartments. The fan speed

may increase as you open the doors or add warm food.

Rattling noises may come from the flow of refrigerant, the

water line, or items stored on top of the refrigerator.

Water dripping on the defrost heater during a defrost cycle

may cause a sizzling sound.

As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to

the refrigerant flowing in your refrigerator.

Contraction and expansion of the inside walls may cause a

popping noise.

You may hear air being forced over the condenser by the

condenser fan.

You may hear water running into the drain pan during the

defrost cycle.

REFRIGERATOR USE

Ensuring Proper Air Circulation

In order to ensure proper temperatures, you need to permit air to

flow between the two sections. Cold air enters the bottom of the

freezer section and moves up. It then enters the refrigerator

section through the top vent. Air then returns to the freezer as

shown.

Do not block any of these vents with food such as soda, cereal,

bread, etc. If the vents are blocked, airflow will be prevented and

the temperature controls will not function properly.

IMPORTANT: Because air circulates between both sections, any

odors formed in one section will transfer to the other. You must

thoroughly clean both sections to eliminate odors. To prevent

odor transfer from food, wrap or cover foods tightly.

Using the Controls

For your convenience, your refrigerator controls are preset at the

factory. When installing your refrigerator, make sure that the

controls are still preset to the "mid-settings" as shown.

IMPORTANT:

Your product will not cool when the Refrigerator Control is set

to OFF.

The Refrigerator Control adjusts the refrigerator compartment

temperature. The Freezer Control adjusts the freezer

compartment temperature. Higher numbered settings make

the compartment colder. Lower numbered settings make the

temperature less cold.

Wait 24 hours before you put food into the refrigerator. If you

add food before the refrigerator has cooled completely, your

food may spoil.

NOTE: Adjusting the Refrigerator and Freezer Controls to a

higher (colder) setting will not cool the compartments any

faster.

The preset settings should be correct for normal household

usage. The controls are set correctly when milk or juice is as

cold as you like and when ice cream is firm.
