How the Water Dispenser Works

The water tank located behind the drawers in the refrigerator compartment, automatically fills as water is dispensed. For proper dispenser operation, the recommended supply water pressure should fall between 20 psi and 100 psi,

Water pressure must not exceed !00 Ibs, Excessive pressure may cause water filter to malfunction,

After the refrigerator is connected to the water supply, fill the water tank by drawing one glass of water, it may take about 11/2minutes after activating the dispenser paddle before water begins to fill this first glass. Continue flushing the system for 3 minutes to rid the tank and plumbing connections of any impurities. The water dispenser has a built in shutoff device that will stop the water flow after 3 minutes of continuous use. Simply release the dispenser paddle to reset the shutoff mechanism.

Chemicals from a maffunctioning softener can damage the ice maker. If the ice maker is connected to soft water, ensure that the softener is mai rltained and working properly.

How the ice Dispenser Works

The ice maker and container are located in the top of the freezer compartment. After the refrigerator is installed properly and has cooled for several hours, the ice maker can begin making ice within 24 hours. Air in new plumbing lines may cause the ice maker to cycle two or three times before making a full tray of ice. ice production is controlled by the ice maker'sOn/Off power switch. Press the switch to the "0" position to turn it Off and press it to the '1"position to turn it On. With no usage it will take approximately 2 days to fill the ice container. The ice maker also has a built-in wire signal arm,which automatically stops ice

production when the ice bin is full. This signal arm should not be used to manually stop the ice maker.

Because of new plumbing connections, the first production of ice cubes may be discolored or have an odd flavor, These should be discarded until the cubes made are free of discoloration and taste,
