Ice and Water
Automatic Ice Maker
Note
Energy rating guides that are posted on the
refrigerator at the time of purchase do not include
optional ice maker energy usage.
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 inter
ference 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 c
ause mol
d
/mildew growth.
Clean up water and ice spills to avoid personal
injury and to prevent mold/mildew growth.
WARNING
Some models are automatic ice maker ready. The
number of the appropriate ice maker kit is IC10S. The
kit contains installation instructions and water
connection instructions.
Other models have a factory installed ice maker.
Connect the ice maker to the water supply as
instructed on pages 4-5.
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 reache
s
between 0° to 2° F (-18° to -17° C),
ice maker fills with water and
begins operating. Y
ou will have a
complete harvest of ice
approximately every three hours.
Allow approximately 24 hours after inst
allation to
receive first harvest of ice.
Disc
ard ice created within first 12 hours of operation
to verify system is flushed of impuritie
s.
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
raise
s the sensor 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”
occ
asionally.
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 sensor 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 sensor arm.
To Install the Ice Bin:
Reverse the above procedure. Turn the ice maker on
by lowering the sensor arm.

Water Filter Removal and
Installation (select models)
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 c
artridge 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 t
aste or odor, flush
system by dispensing water for two to three
minutes. If unpleasant taste or odor persists,
change filter c
artridge.
CAUTION
Initial Installation
The water filter is located in the upper right-hand
corner of the fresh food compartment.
1.
Remove blue bypass c
ap 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 spur
t
s by
flushing air from system.
Run water continuously for
two minutes through
dispenser until water runs
steady. During initial use,
allow a delay of approximately one minute 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. 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 and 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 t
ake place more often.
To purchase a replacement water filter cartridge,
contact your dealer.
The dispenser feature may be used without a water
filter cartridge. If you choose this option, replace filter
with blue bypass c
ap.

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 7.
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.
Sort fruits and vegetables before storage and use
bruised or soft items first. Discard those showing
signs of dec
ay
.
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 (e
specially leafy veget
ables). 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 it
self
.
Do not
try to s
ave individual chee
se slice
s, 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 c
ar
ton 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 7.
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 for approximate
storage times, pages 17-18.
