Water System Preparation

Please read before using the water system.

Immediately after installation, follow the steps below to make sure that the water system is properly cleaned.

1.Turn off the ice maker by opening the freezer door and lifting up the wire shutoff arm as shown.

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. Systems certified for cyst reduction may be used on disinfected waters that may contain filterable cysts.

2.Turn on the ice maker by opening the freezer door and lowering the wire shutoff arm as shown. Please refer to the “Ice Maker and Storage Bin” 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.

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 refrigerator 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.

■You may hear gurgling sound at the defrost drain after the door is closed.

■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.

Ensuring Proper Air Circulation

In order to ensure proper temperatures, you need to permit airflow between the refrigerator and freezer sections. As shown in the illustration, cool air enters the freezer section through vents in the rear and top. The air flows forward through the freezer section and recirculates under the freezer floor. Cool air enters the refrigerator section through the top, flows down and across shelves to the doors and recirculates to return air vents at the bottom.

Do not block any of these vents with food packages. If the vents are blocked, airflow will be prevented and temperature and moisture problems may occur.

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 and drying out of food, wrap or cover foods tightly.

Using Controls

IMPORTANT:

■The refrigerator control adjusts the refrigerator compartment temperature. The freezer control adjusts the freezer compartment temperature.

■Wait 24 hours after you turn on the refrigerator before you put food into it. If you add food before the refrigerator has cooled completely, your food may spoil.

NOTE: Adjusting the refrigerator and freezer controls to a lower (colder) setting will not cool the compartments any faster.

■If the temperature is too warm or too cold in the refrigerator or freezer, first check the air vents to be sure they are not blocked before adjusting the controls.

■The preset settings should be correct for normal household usage. The controls are set correctly when milk or juice is as cold as you like and when ice cream is firm.

NOTE: The factory recommended set points are 0°F (-18°C) for the freezer and 37°F (3°C) for the refrigerator.
