WHEN MOVING
If you decide to take your refrigerator with you when
moving, consider the following:
1. Remove all of the food from it, and place the frozen
food in an ice chest with dry ice.
2. Unplug your refrigerator.
3. Empty the water from its tray.
4. Clean and dry it with a rag.
5. Pull out all of the removable parts, and wrap them with
adhesive tape.
6. Depending on the model of the refrigerator, lift the top
part of the refrigerator so it can roll with ease, or screw
the levelers so it won´t scratch the floor. Consult to the
section
“Closing and Aligning Doors”.
7. Keep the doors closed with the cable glued to the
refrigerator cabinet with an adhesive tape.
When your refrigerator arrives to your home, put
everything back into place and read the section
“Refrigerator Installation” in order to obtain installation
preparation. In case your refrigerator has a factory ice
maker, remember you have to reconnect the water
supply.
REFRIGERATOR CARE AND CLEANING REFRIGERATOR CARE AND CLEANING
ABOUT THE AUTOMATIC ICE MAKER
NOTE: The automatic Ice maker is only included in some
models. Check your specifications of your refrigerator.
WARNING
PERSONAL INJURY HAZARD
Avoid contact with any moving parts of the ejector
mechanism or with the heater that releases the ice
cubes. DO NOT place your fingers in the automatic ice
maker when the refrigerator is plugged in.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
After turning on your refrigerator, the ice will start to be
made between 12 and 24 hours.
Identify your ice maker type.
Type 1
Icemaker
Power Switch
Ice detecting
sensor
The ice maker produces 8 cubes per cycle (between 64
and 128 cubes in a 24 hour period), depending on the
temperature of the freezer, the times in which the door
opens, and other using conditions (amount of food in
the freezer, etc).
If the refrigerator is used before the connection of water
to the ice maker was performed, you must turn its dial
to
O (off).
When the water connections are performed, turn its dial
to
I (on).
The ice maker will fill up (and start making ice) between
12 and 24 hours after the refrigerator is turned on.
Throw away the first batch of ice. Make sure that nothing
interferes with the sensor.
When the ice reaches the sensor, the ice maker will stop
to make ice immediately.
It’s normal that some ice gets stuck. If the ice is not used
frequently, the older cubes of ice will be opaque in color,
smaller, and with a strange flavor.
NOTE: Never store beverage cans or other items in the
ice bin for the purpose of rapid cooling. Doing so may
damage the ice maker or the container may burst.
YOU MUST TURN THE SWITCH TO O (OFF)
When the water supply is interrupted for many hours.
When the ice container is left out of its place for more
than one or two minutes.
When the refrigerator will not be in use for various
days.
NORMAL SOUNDS
The valve will emit a buzzing sound when the ice maker
is full of water. If the switch is placed in the on position
the buzz will still be heard even when the water pipe
has not been connected. To avoid this sound, move
switch to
O (off) position.
NOTE: The ice maker can get damaged if the switch is
kept in the ON position before the water pipe has been
connected.
While the ice maker is filling up with water and
producing ice, you will hear the sound of the ice falling
and water flowing through the pipes.
You will hear the sound of cubes dropping into the
bin and water running in the pipes as the icemaker
refills.
PREPARING FOR VACATIONS
Move the ice maker switch to the O (off) position and cut
the flow of water going into the refrigerator.
If room temperature is at freezing point, have a
specialized technician drain the flow of water from the
inner pipes (certain models) to avoid broken pipe related
damage.
NOTE: To avoid water spilling, the unit should be leveled
and placed on even floor. Do not remove the ice bin
from the ice maker for a long period, doing so may
cause ice spilling.
