. You will hear water running when ice maker is working. You’ll hear ice falling into the bin. Don’t let these sounds bother you.

. The ice maker will not operate until the freezer is cold enough to make ice. This can take overnight.

. Because of new plumbing connections, the first ice may be discolored or off-flavored. Discard the first few batches of ice.

. If ice is not being made fast enough and more ice is needed, turn the Refrigerator Control toward a higher number. Wait a day and, if necessary, turn the Freezer Control toward A.

. If you remove the ice bin, raise the signal arm to shut off the ice maker. When you return the bin, push it all the way in and lower the arm to the ON position.

lIf cubes are stored too long, they may develop an off-flavor.. like stale water. Throw them away. Ice maker will make new ice. 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 important that the water softener be well maintained and operating properly.

Sounds you may hear

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 describes the kinds of sounds that might be new to you, and what may be making them.

Slight hum, soft hiss:

You may hear the refrigerator’s fan motor and moving air.

Clicking or snapping sounds:

The thermostat makes a definite click when the refrigerator stops running. It also makes a sound when the refrigerator starts. The defrost timer will click when the defrost cycle starts.

Water sounds:

When the refrigerator stops running, you may hear gurgling in the tubing for a few minutes after it stops. You may also hear defrost water running into the defrost water pan.

Ice maker sounds:

. trickling water

. thud (clatter of ice)

If your refrigerator has an ice maker, you may hear buzzing (from the water valve), trickling water and the clatter of ice dumped into the bin.

Running sounds:

Your refrigerator has a high-efficiency compressor and motor. It will run longer than older designs. It may even seem to run most of the time.

Energy saving tips

You can help your refrigerator use less electricity.

. Check door gaskets for a tight seal. Level the cabinet to be sure of a good seal.

. Clean the condenser coils regularly.

. 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 food orga- nized so you won’t have to search for what you want. Close door as soon as food is removed.

. Go ahead and fill up the refrigerator, but don’t overcrowd it so air movement is blocked.

. 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.

. Keep the Exterior Moisture Control on the OFF setting unless moisture forms on refrigerator exterior.

. Make sure your refrigerator is not next to a heat source such as a range, water heater, furnace, radiator or in direct sunlight.
