Important Facts About Your Dispenser

sDo not add ice from trays or bags tothe storage drawer. It may not crush ordispense well.

sAvoid overfilling glass with ice and use ofnarrow glasses. Backed-up ice can jam thechute or cause the door in the chute tofreeze shut. If ice is blocking the chute, pokeit through with a wooden spoon.

sBeverages and foods should not bequick-chilled in the ice storage drawer.Cans, bottles or food packages in the

storage drawer may cause the icemakeror auger to jam.

sTo keep dispensed ice from missingthe glass, put the glass close to, but nottouching, the dispenser opening.

sSome crushed ice may be dispensed eventhough you selected CUBED ICE. Thishappens occasionally when a few cubesaccidentally get directed to the crusher.

sAfter crushed ice is dispensed, some watermay drip from the chute.

sSometimes a small mound of snow will formon the door in the ice chute. This conditionis normal and usually occurs when you havedispensed crushed ice repeatedly. The snow

will eventually evaporate.

CAUTION:Some products such as water ices shouldnot be consumed too cold.

Trim kits and decorator panels.

Read these instructions completely and carefully.

Before You Begin

Some models are equipped with trim kits that allow you to install door panels.Panels less than 6 mm thick

When installing wood panels less than 6 mm thick, you need to create a filler panel, such as 3 mm cardboard, thatwill fit between the face of the door and the wood panel. If you are installing the pre-cut decorator panels, pre-cutfiller panels are included in the kit. The combined thickness of the decorator or wood panel and the filler panelshould be 6 mm.

For Built-In Style models

19 mm or Raised Panel

A raised panel design screwed or glued to a 6 mm thick backing, or a 19 mm routed board can be used.The raised portion of the panel must be fabricated to permit clearances of at least 5.1 cm from the handleside for fingertip clearance.

Panels thicker than 6mm, up to 19 mm max, will require that the outer 8 mm of panel perimeter be no thickerthan 6 mm.

The water line installation is not warranted by the

refrigerator or icemaker manufacturer. Follow theserecommendations carefully to minimize the risk ofexpensive water damage.

Water hammer (water banging in the pipes) in houseplumbing can cause damage to refrigerator parts andlead to water leakage or flooding. Call a qualifiedplumber to correct water hammer before installingthe water supply line to the refrigerator.

To prevent burns and product damage, do not hookup the water line to the hot water line.

If you use your refrigerator before connecting the

water line, make sure the icemaker power switch isin the O (off) position.

Do not install the icemaker tubing in areas wheretemperatures fall below freezing.

When using any electrical device (such as a power drill)during installation, be sure the device is insulated or

wired in a manner to prevent the hazard of electricshock.

All installations must be in accordance with localplumbing code requirements.

Installation of the icemaker must be done by aqualified service technician.

WARNING! Connect to potablewater supply only.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

INSTALLING THE WATER LINE

Place the compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) onto theend of the tubing as shown.

Insert the end of the tubing into the water valveconnection as far as possible. While holding thetubing, tighten the fitting.

Fasten the tubing into the clamp provided to hold it in avertical position. You may need to pry open the clamp.

On models using the

refrigeration connection atthe water valve, remove theplastic flexible cap.

CONNECT THE TUBING TO THEREFRIGERATOR (CONT.)

Normal operating sounds.

These sounds are normal and are due mostlyto highly efficient operation.

The new high efficiency compressor runs faster and will have a higher pitch humor pulsating sound while operating.

The fans circulating air inside the freezer and refrigerator compartments whichkeep the temperatures uniform throughout.

The fans operating at a high speed. This happens when the refrigerator is firstplugged in, when the doors are opened frequently, or when a large amount offood is added to the refrigerator or freezer compartments.

Water dropping on the defrost heater causing a sizzling, hissing or poppingsound during the defrost cycle.

The flow of refrigerant through the freezer cooling coils sounds like boilingwater or a gurgling noise.

Cracking or popping of cooling coils caused by expansion and contractionduring defrost and refrigeration following defrost.

Water dripping as it melts from the evaporator and flows to the drain panduring the defrost cycle.

Icemaker

The icemaker water valve will buzz when the icemaker fills with water. If the powerswitch is in the l (on)position it will buzz even if it has not yet been hooked up to

water. Keeping the power switch in the l (on)position before it is hooked up towater can damage the icemaker. To prevent this, set the power switch to the

0 (off)position. This will stop the buzzing.The sound of cubes dropping into the bin and water running in pipes asicemaker refills.
