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. For
Style 1
lower the wire shutoff arm. For
Style 2
move the switch to the
ON (left) position. Please refer to the “Ice Maker and Storage
Bin/Bucket” 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.
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
Rotary Controls (on some models)
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. Settings to the left of the mid-
setting make the temperature less cold. Settings to the right
of the mid-setting make the temperature colder.
