Ice and Water
14
To avoid personal injury or property damage,
observe the following:
Do not place fingers or hands on the automatic ice
making mechanism while the refrigerator is
plugged in. This will help protect you from possible
injury. It will also prevent interference with moving
parts of the ejector mechanism and the heating
element that releases the cubes.
Under certain rare circumstances, ice cubes may
be discolored, usually appearing with a green-
bluish hue. The cause of this unusual discoloration
can be a combination of factors such as certain
characteristics of local waters, household
plumbing and the accumulation of copper salts in
an inactive water supply line which feeds the ice
maker. Continued consumption of such discolored
ice cubes may be injurious to health. If such
discoloration is observed, discard the ice cubes
and contact your dealer to purchase and install a
water line filter.
•Water damage due to improper water connection
may cause mold/mildew growth.
Clean up water and ice spills to avoid personal
injury and to prevent mold/mildew growth.
WARNING
Automatic Ice Maker
Connect the ice maker to the water supply as
instructed on page 8. Proper water flow and a level
refrigerator are essential for optimal ice maker
performance.
Operating Instructions
Confirm ice bin is in place and ice maker arm is
down.
After freezer section reaches between 0° to 2° F (-18°
to -17° C), ice maker fills with water and begins
operating. You will have a complete
harvest of ice approximately every
three hours.
Allow approximately 24 hours after
installation to receive first harvest of
ice.
Discard ice created within first 12 hours of operation
to assure system is flushed of impurities.
Stop ice production by raising ice maker arm until
click is heard.
Ice maker will remain in the off position until arm is
pushed down.
•The first one or two batches will probably contain
undersized and irregular cubes because of air in the
supply line.
•When the ice cubes are ejected it is normal for
several cubes to be joined together at the ends. They
can easily be broken apart. The ice maker will
continue to make ice until the supply of ice cubes
raises the ice maker arm, shutting the ice maker off.
Certain sounds may accompany the various cycles of
the ice maker. The motor may have a slight hum, the
cubes will rattle as they fall into an empty storage
pan and the water valve may click or “buzz”
occasionally.
If the ice is not used frequently, the ice cubes will
become cloudy, shrink, stick together and taste stale.
Empty the ice storage bin periodically and wash it in
lukewarm water. Be sure to dry the bin thoroughly
before replacing it.
Beverages and foods should not be placed in the ice
storage bin for quick chilling. These items can block
the ice maker arm, causing the ice maker to
malfunction.
•Turn off (arm up) the ice maker when the water
supply is to be shut off for several hours.
To Remove the Ice Bin:
•Pull it forward, away from the ice maker. To avoid the
ice maker dumping ice while the bin is removed, turn
the ice maker off by raising the ice maker arm.
To Install the Ice Bin:
Reverse the above procedure. Turn the ice maker on
by lowering the ice maker arm.
To Dispense Water:
Hold container under spout and
press dispenser pad.

Water Filter Removal and
Installation
To avoid serious illness or death, do not use
refrigerator where water is unsafe or of unknown
quality without adequate disinfection before or after
use of filter.
WARNING
After installing a new water filter, always
dispense water for two minutes before
removing the filter for any reason. Air trapped in
system may cause water and cartridge to eject.
Use caution when removing.
•The bypass cap does not filter water. Be sure to
have replacement cartridge available when filter
change is required.
If water filtration system has been allowed to
freeze, replace filter cartridge.
If system has not been used for several months, or
water has an unpleasant taste or odor, flush
system by dispensing water for two to three
minutes. If unpleasant taste or odor persists,
change filter cartridge.
CAUTION
Initial Installation
The water filter is located in the
upper right-hand corner of the
fresh food compartment.
1. Remove blue bypass cap and
retain for later use.
2. Remove sealing label from
end of filter and insert into
filter head.
3. Rotate gently clockwise until
filter stops. Snap filter cover
closed.
4. Reduce water spurts by
flushing air from system.
Run water continuously for
two minutes through dispenser until water runs
steady. During initial use, allow about a one- to
two-minute delay in water dispersal to allow
internal water tank to fill.
Additional flushing may be required in some
households where water is of poor quality.
Replacing Water Filter
IMPORTANT: Air trapped in system may cause
water and cartridge to eject. Always dispense
water for at least 2 minutes before removing the
filter for any reason. Use caution when removing.
1. Turn filter counterclockwise until it releases from
filter head.
2. Drain water from filter into sink, and dispose in
normal household trash.
3. Wipe up excess water in filter cover and continue
with Initial Installation, steps 2 through 4.
The filter should be changed at least every 12 months.
IMPORTANT: Condition of water and amount used
determines life span of water filter cartridge. If water
use is high, or if water is of poor quality, replacement
may need to take place more often.
To purchase a replacement water filter cartridge,
contact your dealer or call 1-877-232-6771 U.S.A. or
1-800-688-8408 Canada.
The dispenser feature may be used without a water
filter cartridge. If you choose this option, replace filter
with blue bypass cap.

Food Storage Tips
Fresh Food Storage
•The fresh food compartment of a refrigerator should
be kept between 34°- 40° F (1°- 4° C) with an
optimum temperature of 37° F (3° C). To check the
temperature, place an appliance thermometer in a
glass of water and place in the center of the
refrigerator. Check after 24 hours. If the temperature
is above 40° F (4° C) adjust the controls as explained
on page 10.
•Avoid overcrowding the refrigerator shelves. This
reduces the circulation of air around the food and
results in uneven cooling.
Fruits and Vegetables
Storage in the crisper drawers traps humidity to help
preserve the fruit and vegetable quality for longer
time periods (see page 12).
Sort fruits and vegetables before storage and use
bruised or soft items first. Discard those showing
signs of decay.
Always wrap odorous foods such as onions and
cabbage so the odor does not transfer to other foods.
•While vegetables need a certain amount of humidity
to remain fresh, too much humidity can shorten
storage times (especially leafy vegetables). Drain
vegetables well before storing.
•Wait to wash fresh produce until right before use.
Meat and Cheese
•Raw meat and poultry should be wrapped securely
so leakage and contamination of other foods or
surfaces does not occur.
Occasionally mold will develop on the surface of
hard cheeses (Swiss, Cheddar, Parmesan). Cut off at
least an inch around and below the moldy area. Keep
your knife or instrument out of the mold itself. Do not
try to save individual cheese slices, soft cheese,
cottage cheese, cream, sour cream or yogurt when
mold appears.
Dairy Food
Most dairy foods such as milk, yogurt, sour cream
and cottage cheese have freshness dates on their
cartons for appropriate length of storage. Store these
foods in the original carton and refrigerate
immediately after purchasing and after each use.
Frozen Food Storage
•The freezer compartment of a refrigerator should be
kept at approximately 0° F (-18° C). To check the
temperature, place an appliance thermometer
between the frozen packages and check after 24
hours. If the temperature is above 0° F (-18° C),
adjust the control as described on page 10.
•A freezer operates more efficiently when it is at least
two-thirds full.
Packaging Foods for Freezing
•To minimize dehydration and quality deterioration use
aluminum foil, freezer wrap, freezer bags or airtight
containers. Force as much air out of the packages as
possible and be sure they are tightly sealed. Trapped
air can cause the food to dry out, change color and
develop an off-flavor (freezer burn).
Overwrap fresh meats and poultry with suitable
freezer wrap prior to freezing.
Do not refreeze meat that has completely thawed.
Loading the Freezer
•Avoid adding too much warm food to the freezer at
one time. This overloads the freezer, slows the rate of
freezing and can raise the temperature of frozen
foods.
•Leave space between the packages so cold air can
circulate freely, allowing food to freeze as quickly as
possible.
•Avoid storing hard-to-freeze foods such as ice cream
and orange juice on the freezer door shelves. These
foods are best stored in the freezer interior where the
temperature varies less with door openings.
Refer to the Food Storage Chart on pages 18 and 19 for
approximate storage times.
