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.

No Sou

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

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.
