behind the wall). During the compressor's off-cycle, the ice will melt, drip down,
and drain through a small hole behind the crisper into a tray above the
compressor where the compressor's heat evaporates the water.
If you notice an excessive build-up of ice on the rear wall of either the refrigerator
or the freezer compartment, try setting the thermostat to a slightly warmer
setting. Be sure the door gasket is well seated. Occasionally you should check
that there is no obstruction of the drain hole in the bottom rear of the refrigerator
cabinet.
Making Ice Cubes:
In the freezer compartment, high-quality ice cubes are formed in about 3 hours.
Once the cubes have been formed, they can be removed from the ice tray by
twisting it gently.
NOTES:
1.
Since water expands when it freezes, do not fill the ice tray above the level
of the separation dividers.
2.
When using a receptacle other than the supplied ice cube tray to make a
large quantity of ice, you may find that the temperature in the freezer will
rise. This can cause ice cream and other such items to soften temporarily.
3.
When ice cubes are stored for an extended period of time, they may
become smaller and stick together.
4.
Ice will sometimes develop an off flavor or color if kept too long. To avoid
this, empty the ice tray and make a completely new batch about once a
month.
Hot-Line:
With the refrigerator-freezer in operation, it is possible
that the housing will feel warm at the front edges.
This does not indicate trouble. It is attributable to the
hot-line design adopted for this refrigerator-freezer
which consists of piping hot gas from the motor-driven
compressor along the front edges of the housing and
the center partition to prevent moisture from
accumulating. This has nothing to do with the storage
temperature inside.
In the illustration, the dark line indicates the hot-line.
