USING THE DISPENSER
7.1 Using the ice maker after installation
Before making ice for the first time, be sure to prime the water supply
system.
Air in new plumbing lines can result in two or three empty ice maker cycles.
Furthermore, if the system is not flushed, the first ice cubes may be
discolored or have an odd flavor.
7.2 Priming the water supply system
- Begin filling the system by pressing and holding a drinking glass against the dispenser.
- Keep the glass in this position until water comes out of the dispenser. It may take about 1½ minutes.
- Continue dispensing water for about four minutes to flush the system and plumbing connections of any impurities (stopping to empty the glass as necessary).
NOTE
The water dispenser has a built-in device that shuts off the water flow after
three minutes of continuous use. To reset this shutoff device, simply release
the dispenser paddle.
NOTE
After the initial 750 ml, water will remain room temperature until the tank
has refilled and been given enough time to chill the next 750 ml of water.
May take up to 8 hours to chill.
7.3 Ice maker operation & care
After the refrigerator is installed properly and has cooled for several hours,
the ice maker can produce ice within 24 hours. The ice maker will fill the ice
bin from the rear. Dispense some ice to force the ice forward in the bin.
This will allow the bin to fill completely.
7.4 Ice Maker and Storage Bin Capacity
This ice maker should produce 1 Kilogram of ice per 24 hours. The ice bin will
hold about 1,6 Kilogram of ice.
7.5 Turning the fresh food ice maker on and off
IMPORTANT
The ice maker is turned on at the factory so it can work as soon as the
refrigerator is installed. If it is not possible to connect a water supply,
set the ice maker’s On/Off feature to Off; otherwise, the ice maker’s fill
valve may make a loud chattering noise when it attempts to operate without
water.
Ice production is controlled by the ice maker’s On/Off feature on the control
panel. Pressing the On/Off feature turns the ice maker on & off.
NOTE
The ice maker also has a built-in plastic signal arm that automatically stops
ice production when the ice bin is full. This signal arm should not be used to
manually stop the ice maker.
IMPORTANT
Turning off the ice maker simply disables ice making. Existing ice can still
be dispensed, and water can be dispensed.
IMPORTANT
On occasion, unusually small ice cubes may be noticed in the bucket or in
dispensed ice. This could occur in normal operation of the ice maker. If
happening frequently, it may be an indication of low water pressure or the
water filter needs to be replaced. As the
water filter nears the end of its useful life and becomes clogged with
particles, less water is delivered to the ice maker during each cycle.
Remember, if it’s been six months or longer since last changing the water
filter, replace it with a new one. Poor quality household water may require
the filter to be changed more frequently.
CAUTION
If the water supply to the refrigerator is softened, be sure the softener is
properly maintained. Chemicals from a water softener can damage the ice maker.
7.6 Ice maker/dispenser tips
-
If refrigerator is not connected to a water supply or the water supply is turned off, turn off the ice maker as described in the previous section.
-
The following sounds are normal when the ice maker is operating:
– Motor running
– Ice dropping into ice bin
– Water valve opening or closing
– Running water -
If a large quantity of ice is needed at one time, it is best to get cubes directly from the ice bin.
-
Ice cubes stored too long may develop an odd flavor. Empty the ice bin as explained below.
-
When dispensing cubed ice, it is normal to have a small quantity of little pieces along with the whole cubes.
-
To avoid splashing, dispense ice into the container before adding liquids.
-
It is normal for ice to fill to the top of the ice bin.
7.7 Cleaning the ice maker
Clean the ice maker and ice bin at regular intervals, especially prior to
vacation or moving.
- Turn off the ice maker.
- Remove the ice bin by pulling straight out.
- Empty and carefully clean the ice bin with mild detergent. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners. Do not place in dishwasher. Rinse with clear water.
- Allow the ice bin to dry completely before replacing in the freezer.
- Replace the ice bin. Turn the ice maker on.
Remove and empty the ice bin if:
- An extended power failure (one hour or longer) causes ice cubes in the ice bin to melt and refreeze together after power is restored, jamming the dispenser mechanism.
- Ice dispenser is used infrequently. Ice cubes will freeze together in the bin, jamming the dispenser mechanism.
Remove the ice bin and shake to loosen the cubes or clean as explained above.
CAUTION
NEVER use an ice pick or similar sharp instrument to break up the ice. This
could damage the ice bin and dispenser mechanism. To loosen stuck ice, use
warm water. Before replacing the ice bin, make sure it is completely dry.
IMPORTANT
When removing or replacing the ice bin, avoid rotating the auger in the ice
bin. If the auger is accidentally rotated, realign the auger by turning it in
45 degree turns (see below) until the ice bin fits into place with the drive
mechanism. If the auger is not properly aligned when replacing the ice bin,
the refrigerator will not dispense ice. The fresh food door also may not close
properly causing warm air to leak into the fresh food compartment.
STORAGE FEATURES
CAUTION
To avoid personal injury or property damage, handle tempered glass shelves
carefully.
Shelves may break suddenly if nicked, scratched, or exposed to sudden
temperature change. Allow the glass shelves to stabilize to room temperature
before cleaning.
Do not wash in dishwasher.
NOTE
Features may vary according to model.
Shelf positions can easily be adjusted in the fresh food compartments as
needed.
The shelves have mounting brackets that attach to slotted supports at the rear
of each compartment.
8.1 Change the Position of a Shelf
- Remove all food from shelf.
- Lift the front edge up and pull the shelf out.
- Replace by inserting the mounting bracket hooks into the desired support slots.
- Lower the shelf and lock into position.
To adjust flip shelf:
- Remove food from shelf.
- Lift the right side edge of shelf upwards and push to the left towards ice maker.

HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS
13.1 Energy saving tips
We recommend that you follow the tips below to save energy.
- Freezer: The internal configuration of the appliance is the one that ensures the most efficient use of energy.
- Fridge: Most efficient use of energy is ensured in the configuration with the drawers in the bottom part of the appliance and shelves evenly distributed. Position of the door bins does not affect energy consumption.
- Do not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than necessary.
- Freezer: The colder the temperature setting, the higher the energy consumption.
- Fridge: Do not set too high temperature to save energy unless it is required by the characteristics of the food.
- If the ambient temperature is high and the temperature control is set to low temperature and the appliance is fully loaded, the compressor may run continuously, causing frost or ice formation on the evaporator. In this case, set the temperature control toward higher temperature to allow automatic defrosting and to save energy this way.
- Ensure a good ventilation. Do not cover the ventilation grilles or holes.
13.2 Hints for fresh food refrigeration
- Fresh food compartment is the one marked (on the rating plate) with .
- Good temperature setting that ensures preservation of fresh food is a temperature less than or equal to +4°C.
- Higher temperature setting inside the appliance may lead to shorter shelf life of food.
- Cover the food with packaging to preserve its freshness and aroma.
- Always use closed containers for liquids and for food, to avoid flavours or odours in the compartment.
- To avoid the cross-contamination between cooked and raw food, cover the cooked food and separate it from the raw one.
- It is recommended to defrost the food inside the fridge.
- Do not insert hot food inside the appliance. Make sure it has cooled down at room temperature before inserting it.
- To prevent food waste the new stock of food should always be placed behind the old one.
13.3 Hints for refrigeration
- Meat (all types): wrap in a suitable packaging and place it on the glass shelf above the vegetable drawer. Store meat for at most 1-2 days.
- Fruit and vegetables: clean thoroughly (eliminate the soil) and place in a special drawer (vegetable drawer).
- It is advisable not to keep the exotic fruits like bananas, mangos, papayas etc. in the refrigerator.
- Vegetables like tomatoes, potatoes, onions, and garlic should not be kept in the refrigerator.
- Butter and cheese: place in an airtight container or wrap in an aluminium foil or a polythene bag to exclude as much air as possible.
- Bottles: close them with a cap and place them on the door bottle shelf, or (if available) on the bottle rack.
- Always refer to the expiry date of the products to know how long to keep them.
13.4 Hints for freezing
- Activate Fast Freeze function at least 24 hours before placing the food inside the freezer compartment.
- Before freezing wrap and seal fresh food in: aluminium foil, plastic film or bags, airtight containers with lid.
- For more efficient freezing and thawing divide food into small portions.
- It is recommended to put labels and dates on all your frozen food. This will help to identify foods and to know when they should be used before their deterioration.
- The food should be fresh when being frozen to preserve good quality. Especially fruits and vegetables should be frozen after the harvest to preserve all of their nutrients.
- Do not freeze bottles or cans with liquids, in particular drinks containing carbon dioxide – they may explode during freezing.
- Do not put hot food in the freezer compartment. Cool it down at room temperature before placing it inside the compartment.
- To avoid increase in temperature of already frozen food, do not place fresh unfrozen food directly next to it. Place food at room temperature in the part of the freezer compartment where there is no frozen food.
- Do not eat ice cubes, water ices or ice lollies immediately after taking them out of the freezer. Risk of frostbites.
- Do not re-freeze defrosted food. If the food has defrosted, cook it, cool it down and then freeze it.
13.5 Hints for the storage of frozen food
- Freezer compartment is the one marked with ****.
- Good temperature setting that ensures preservation of frozen food products is a temperature less than or equal to -18°C.
- Higher temperature setting inside the appliance may lead to shorter shelf life.
- The whole freezer compartment is suitable for storage of frozen food products.
- Leave enough space around the food to allow air to circulate freely.
- For adequate storage refer to food packaging label to see the shelf life of food.
- It is important to wrap the food in such a way that prevents water, humidity or condensation from getting inside.
13.6 Shopping tips After grocery shopping:
- Ensure that the packaging is not amaged – the food could be deteriorated. If the package is swollen or wet, it might have not been stored in the optimal conditions and defrosting may have already started.
- To limit the defrosting process buy frozen goods at the end of your grocery shopping and transport them in a thermal and insulated cool bag.
- Place the frozen foods immediately in the freezer after coming back from the shop.
- If food has defrosted even partially, do not re-freeze it. Consume it as soon as possible.
- Respect the expiry date and the storage information on the package.
