cubes every 75 to 90 minutes.
How the Water Dispenser Works
The water tank located behind the drawers in the refrigerator compartment, automatically fills as water is dispensed. For
proper dispenser operation, the recommended supply water pressure should fall between 20 psi and 100 psi,
Water pressure must not exceed !00 Ibs,Excessive pressure may cause water filter to malfunction,
After the refrigerator is connected to the water supply, fill the water tank by drawing one glass of water, it may take about
11/2minutes after activating the dispenser paddle before water begins to fill this first glass. Continue flushing the system
for 3 minutes to rid the tank and plumbing connections of any impurities. The water dispenser has a built in shutoff device
that will stop the water flow after 3 minutes of continuous use. Simply release the dispenser paddle to reset the shutoff
mechanism.
Chemicals from amaffunctioning softener can damage the ice maker. If the ice maker is connected
to soft water, ensure that the softener is mai rltained and working properly.
How the ice Dispenser Works
The ice maker and container are located in the top of the freezer compartment. After the
refrigerator is installed properly and has cooled for several hours, the ice maker can begin
making ice within 24 hours. Air in new plumbing lines may cause the ice maker to cycle two
or three times before making a full tray of ice. ice production is controlled by the ice
maker's On/Off power switch. Press the switch to the "0" position to turn it Off and press it
to the '1"position to turn it On. With no usage it will take approximately 2 days to fill the ice
container. The ice maker also has a built-in wire signal arm,which automatically stops ice
production when the ice bin isfull. This signal arm should not be used to manually stop the
ice maker.
Because of new plumbing connections, the first production of ice cubes may be discolored
or have an odd flavor, These should be discarded until the cubes made are free of discoloration and taste,
