USING YOUR REFRIGERATOR
The water dispenser
Chilled water comes from a tank behind the
meat drawer. It holds approximately 1.5 L
(1
'/2
quarts).
When the refrigerator is first hooked up,
press the water dispenser bar with a glass or
jar until you have drawn and discarded 1.9 to
2.8 L (2 to 3 quarts). The water you draw and
discard will rinse the tank and pipes. Allow
several hours to chill a new 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.
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.

Using the 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 ... to make ice automatically.
Up ... to shut off the ice maker.
NOTE: Do not turn ice maker on until it is
connected to the water supply. Instruc­
tions 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 soft­
ener, can damage the ice maker mold and
lead to poor ice quality. If a softened water
supply cannot be avoided, it is important
that the water softener be well maintained
and operating properly.
