Cold water and ice dispenser

ARNING
Personal Injury Hazard
Tumbling ice and pressure on a fragile glass can break it. Do not use a fragile glass when dispensing ice or water. Failure to do so could result in personal injury or breakage.

To dispense ice:

1. Press a sturdy glass against the ice dispenser bar. Hold glass close to the dispenser opening so ice does not fall outside of the glass.
2. Remove the glass to stop dispensing.

NOTE : The first few batches of ice  may have an off-taste from new plumbing and parts. Throw the ice away. Ice is dispensed from the ice maker storage bin in the freezer. When the dispenser bar is pressed, a trapdoor opens in a chute between the dispenser and the ice bin. Ice is moved from the bin and falls through the chute. When the dis­ penser bar is released, a buzzing sound may be heard for a few seconds as the trapdoor closes. The dispensing system will not operate when the freezer door is open.
NOTE : Large amounts of ice should be taken from the bin, not through the dispenser.

To dispense water:

1. Press a sturdy glass against the water dispenser bar.
2. Remove the glass to stop dispensing.
   NOTE : Dispense enough water every week to maintain a fresh supply. Chilled water comes from a tank behind the meat drawer. ·it holds about 1 ½ quarts (1.5 L). When the refrigerator is first hooked up, press the water dispenser with a glass or jar until you have drawn and discarded 2 or 3 quarts (1. 9 to 2.8 L). The water you draw and discard will rinse the tank and pipes. Allow several hours to chill the first tankful.
   NOTE: The small tray beneath the dispenser is designed to evaporate small spills. There is no drain in this tray. Do not pour water into it.

Automatic ice maker

Here are a few things you will want to know about your automatic ice maker:

• The ON/OFF lever is a wire signal arm. Down … for making ice automatically. Up … to shut off the ice maker.
  NOTE: Do not turn ice maker on until it is connected to the water supply. Instructions for ice maker water supply hook-up are attached to the back of the refrigerator cabinet.

• It is normal for ice crescents to be attached by a corner. They will break apart easily.

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

• 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 C.

• 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 malfunctioning 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 operate properly

Removing ice maker storage bin

• Remove, empty and clean the storage bin:
• If the ice dispenser has not, or will not, be used for a week or more;
• If a power failure causes ice in the bin to melt and freeze together;
• If the ice dispenser is not used regularly

1. Pull the covering panel out from the bottom and slide it to the rear.
2. Lift the signal arm so it clicks into the OFF position. Ice can still be dispensed, but no more will be made
3. lift the front of the storage bin. Pull it out.
4. Empty the bin. Use hot or warm water to melt the ice if necessary. Never use anything sharp to break up ice in the bin. This can damage the bin and dispenser mechanism.
5. Wash with mild detergent. Rinse well. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleansers or solvents.
6. When replacing the bin, make sure it is pushed in all the way. Push the signal arm down to the ON position to restart ice production.

To turn on the night light, push the LIGHT switch in. See page 9 for directions for changing the dispenser light.

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 and stops.

Water sound s:

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)

Because 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 orga­nized 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 the 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.

Both the refrigerator and freezer sections defrost automatically. But both should be cleaned about once a month to help prevent odors from building up. Spills should be wiped up right away. To clean your refrigerator, turn the Refrigerator Control to OFF, unplug it, take out all removable parts and clean the refrigerator according to the following directions.

FoodS storage guide

There is a correct way to package and store refrigerated or frozen food. To keep food fresher, longer, take the time to study these recommended steps.

• Storing fresh food
  Food placed in the refrigerator should be wrapped or stored in air and moisture-proof material. This prevents food odour and taste transfer throughout the refrigerator. For dated products, check the code date to ensure freshness.

• Leafy vegetables
  Remove store wrapping and trim or tear off bruised and discoloured areas. Wash in cold water and drain. Place in a plastic bag or plastic container and store in a crisper. Vegetables with skins (carrots, peppers) Store in crisper, plastic bags or plastic containers.

• Fruit
  Wash, let dry and store in the refrigerator in plastic bags or a crisper. Do not wash or hull berries until they are ready to use. Sort and keep berries in their store container in a crisper, or store in a loosely closed paper bag on a refrigerator shelf.

• Meat
  Most meat can be stored in original wrapping as long as it is air and moisture-proof. Rewrap if nec­essary. See the following chart for storage times. Storage chart for fresh and cured meat*

If meat is to be stored longer than the times given, follow the directions for freezing.
NOTE : Fresh fish and shellfish should be used the same day as purchased.

• Eggs
  Store without washing in the original carton on the interior shelf.

• Milk
  Wipe milk cartons. For best storage, place milk on the interior shelf.

• Butter or margarine
  Keep opened butter in a covered dish or closed compartment. When storing an extra supply, wrap it in freezer packaging and freeze

• Cheese
  Store in the original wrapping until you are ready to use it. Once opened, rewrap tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil.

• Leftovers
  Cover leftovers with plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Plastic containers with tight lids can also be used

Storing frozen food
The freezer section is designed for the storage of commercially frozen food and for freezing food at home. For further information about preparing food for freezing, contact your local Cooperative Extension Service or check a freezer guide or cookbook.

Packaging
The secret of successful freezing is in the packag­ing. The way you close and seal the package must not allow air or moisture in or out. Packaging done in any other way could cause food odor and taste transfer throughout the refrigerator and drying of frozen food.
Rigid polyethylene (plastic) containers with tight-fitting lids, straight- sided canning/freezing jars, heavy-duty aluminium foil, plastic-coated paper and nonpermeable plastic wraps (made from a saran film) are recommended. Follow package or container instructions for proper freezing methods.
Do not use:

• Bread wrappers
• Non-polyethylene plastic containers
• Containers without tight lids
• Waxed paper
• Waxed-coated freezer wrap
• Thin, semi-permeable wrap The use of these wrappings could cause food odour and taste transfer and drying of frozen food.

Freezing
Do not expect your freezer to quickly freeze any large quantity of food. Put no more unfrozen food into the freezer than will freeze within 24 hours. (No more than 2 to 3 pounds of food per cubic foot of freezer space.) Leave enough space for air to circulate around packages. Be careful to leave enough room at the front so the door can close tightly.

Food Storage Guide
Freezer food storage chart
Storage times will vary according to the quality of the food, the type of packaging or wrap used (air and moisture-proof), and the storage temperature which should be 0°F ( -17.8°C).

Caring For Your Refrigerator

Vacation and moving care
Short vacations
No need to shut off the refrigerator if you will be away for less than four weeks. Use up perishables; freeze other items.

1.  Turn off your ice maker.
2. Shut off the water supply to the ice maker.
3. Empty the ice bin.
4. Make sure all ice crescents are dispensed out of the mechanism.

Long vacations
Remove all the food if you are going for a month or more. Turn off the water supply to the ice maker at least a day ahead. When the last load of ice drops, turn off the ice maker. Make sure all ice crescents are dispensed out of the mechanism.
Unplug the refrigerator and clean it … rinse well and dry. Tape rubber or wood blocks to the tops of both doors … keeping them open far enough for air to get in. This will keep odour and mould from building up.

WARNING
Personal Injury Hazard
Do not allow children to climb on, play near, or crawl inside the refrigerator when the doors are blocked open. They may become injured or trapped.

To restart the refrigerator, see “Using Your Refrigerator” on page 5.
Moving

• Shut off the ice maker water supply a day ahead of time. Disconnect the water line. After the last sup­ply of ice drops, lift the signal arm to turn off the ice maker. Make sure all ice crescents are dispensed out of the mechanism.
• Remove all food. Pack frozen food in dry ice. Unplug the refrigerator and clean it thoroughly.
• Take out all removable parts. Wrap all parts well and tape them together so they don’t shift and rattle. Screw in the levelling rollers; tape the doors shut; and tape the electric cord to the cabinet.
• When you get to your new home, put everything back and refer to page 4. Don’t forget to reconnect the water supply line. Draw and discard 2 to 3 quarts (1.9 to 2. BL) of water to flush the water dispensing system.

Power interruptions
If the electricity goes off, call the power company. Ask how long the power will be off.

1. If service is to be interrupted 24 hours or less, keep both doors closed. This will help frozen food stay frozen.
2. If service is to be interrupted longer than 24 hours:
3. Remove all frozen food and store it in a frozen food locker.
4. Place 2 lbs. (0.9 kg) of dry ice in the freezer for every cu. ft. of freezer space. This will keep food frozen for 2 to 4 days. Wear gloves to protect your hands from dry ice burns.
5. If neither food locker storage nor dry ice is available, use or can perishable food at once.
6. The ice bin may need to be emptied if the ice has thawed into a solid mass.
7. A full freezer will stay cold longer than a partly filled one. A freezer full of meat will stay cold longer than a freezer full of baked goods. If food contains ice crystals, it may be safely refrozen, although the quality and flavor may be affected. If the condition of the food is poor or if you feel it is unsafe, dispose of it.

Questions?
Call your COOL-LINE® service assistance telephone number. (See page 18.)

If You Need Service Or Assistance

We suggest you follow these steps:
1. Before calling for assistance … Performance problems often result from little things you can find and fix yourself without tools of any kind.
If your refrigerator will not operate:

• Is the power supply cord plugged into a live circuit with proper voltage? (See page 4.)
• Have you checked your home’s main fuses or circuit breaker box?
• Is the Refrigerator Control ON?

If there is a rattling or jingling noise or unfamiliar sounds:

• Is something on top of or behind the refrigerator making noise when the refrigerator is running?
• New features on your new refrigerator make new sounds. You may be hearing air flowing from the fans, timer clicks for the defrosting cycle, or defrost water draining in the defrost pan.

If your ice maker will not operate:

• Has the freezer had enough time to get cold? With a new refrigerator, this might take overnight.
• Is the signal arm ON … in the down position?
• Is the water valve turned on? Is water getting to the ice maker?

If there is water in the defrost pan:

• This is normal in hot, muggy weather. T he pan can even be half full. Make sure the refrigerator is level so the pan does not overflow.

If the lights do not work:

• Have you checked your home’s main fuses or circuit breaker box?
• Is the power supply cord plugged into a live circuit with the proper voltage? (See page 4.)

If a bulb is burned out:

• See instructions for changing light bulbs on page 8. Use appliance bulbs only. If the motor seems to run too much:
• Is the condenser free of dust and lint?
• On hot days, or if the room is warm, the motor naturally runs longer.

If the door has been opened a lot, or if a large

amount of food has been put in, the motor will run longer to cool down the interior

Remember:
Motor running time depends on different things: number of door openings, amount of food stored, temperature of the room, and setting of the controls. Your new refrigerator may be larger than your old one so it has more space to be cooled. It also has a regular freezer instead of a frozen food compartment. All this means better refrigeration and may require more running time than your old one
