the first few batches of ice.

If cubes are stored too long, they may develop
an off-flavor...like stale water. Throw them away.
They will be replaced. Cubes in the ice bin can
also become smaller by evaporation.
* Good water quality is important for good ice
quality. It is not recommended that the ice maker
be connected to a softened water supply. Water
softener chemicals such as salt from a malfunc-
tioning softener can damage the ice maker
mold and lead to poor quality ice. If a softened
water supply cannot be avoided, then it is impor-
tant that the water softener be well maintained
and operating properly.
Your new refrigerator may make sounds that your old one didn’t.
Because the sounds are new to you, you might be concerned about them.
Don’t be. Most of the new sounds are normal. Hard surfaces like the floor,
walls and cabinets can make the sounds seem louder.
The following chart describes the kinds of sounds that might be new to
you, and what may be making them.

Energy saving tips...
You can help your refrigerator use less electricity.
l
Check door gaskets for a tight seal. Level the
cabinet to be sure of a good seal.
l
Clean the condenser coil regularly
l
Open the door as few times as possible. Think
about what you need before you open the door.
Get everything out at one time. Keep foods orga-
nized so you won’t have to search for what you
want. Close door as soon as food is removed.
l
Go ahead and fill up the refrigerator, but don’t
overcrowd it so air movement is blocked.
l
It is a waste of electricity to set the refrigerator
and freezer to temperatures colder than they
need to be. If ice cream is firm in the freezer and
drinks are as cold as your family likes them, that’s
cold enough.
l
Keep the Power Saving Control on CONSUMES
LESS ENERGY unless moisture forms on refrigerator
exterior.
l
Make sure your refrigerator is not next to a heat
source such as a range, water heater, furnace,
radiator or in direct sunlight.
