USE AND CARE GUIDE FOR YOUR REFRIGERATOR/FREEZER
When the bucket is full and in the proper (highest pos
-
sible) position, the Stop Arm senses the ice and stops ice
making.
To stop the icemaker, whether full or not, simply raise the
Stop Arm to “up” position. To restart, lower the Stop Arm.
TIME PER CYCLE... Varies due to door openings, water
temperatures, etc.
NORMAL ICEMAKER OPERATION
• Sounds to be expected: motor hum; creaking of the
Ejector Blade; ice dropping into the bucket; running
water; water supply valve snapping open.
• Frost formations in area of the icemaker: Since
fresh water enters the form, frost build-up near the
icemaker occurs. This will not affect the operation of
your freezer.
• Ice in the bucket for long periods may freeze together
and acquire odors. Discard stale pieces... Your ice
-
maker will make more.
Temperatures...
are automatically controlled by thermostats. You may
adjust your refrigerator compartment without adversely
affecting freezer temperatures, and vice versa. The refrig
-
erator and the freezer compartment each have their own
temperature control. The freezer control is located in the
roof of the freezer. The refrigerator control is either on
the upper left side wall (side-by-side models), or in the
roof area of the refrigerator. “3” is a good setting to start
out with... Lower numbers for warmer temperatures and
higher numbers for coldest temperatures.
NOTE: To help keep food fresh longer, some moisture is de
-
sirable in the food storage compartments. You may see it
on the walls, or in the form of droplets of ice or “icicles”...
especially in hot or humid weather, or when frequent or
extended door openings occur. This is normal, and not in
any way harmful. If occasional “spot” build-ups occur, it
is usually the result of the above, or of “overcrowding” of
food. Occasionally remove such accumulation.
Defrosting...
is automatic. It takes place in the Power Module, above
and away from your food. For several minutes each day
the compressor and interior fan will shut off, while any ice
accumulation is removed from the coils.
Cleaning...
It’s easy to keep your Built-In refrigerator/freezer clean.
Occasionally, clean the interior walls, shelves, door inte
-
riors and gaskets with a solution ot two (2) teaspoons of
baking soda dissolved in a quart of lukewarm water. Harsh
abrasives and cleaning powders are unnecessary and
should never be used. Do not place parts in the dish
-
washer.
It is recommended that circuit breakers be shut off before
cleaning. Wring excess moisture from sponge or cloth and
avoid excess moisture, especially when cleaning in the
vicinity of switches, lights or controls.
If your unit has a stainless steel interior, shelves or exterior
door then use a stainless steel cleaner and a cloth to clean.
Condenser cleaning procedure...
The condenser is located behind the top grille. It is a part
of the Power Module on its very right hand side. It has
horizontal tubes with small diameter vertical wires and
it is black in color. It is away from floor dust, however,
it
should be examined for dust accumulation at least two
(2) times a year, and cleaned and/or vacuumed as neces-
sary.
Remember to shut off the circuit breaker before
removing the grille and before exposing, cleaning, and/or
vacuuming the condenser.
There are three (3) styles of grille assemblies and each one
can be removed. Two (2) have removable facia assemblies
and the third one is the louvered grille. The first two (2)
grille facia assemblies can be removed by first, lifting the
decorative/stainless steel grille panel up approximately
one (1) inch which will free it from the grille back, then
place the panel aside. The louvered grille is all one as
-
sembly.
There are three (3) ways to remove the grille back. The
first style is with mounting brackets behind the grille back.
Pull the grille forward about one (1) inch to expose the the
top screw in the brackets. Unscrew the screw to loosen it
but do not remove it. Do this to each bracket. CAUTION,
when the screw is loosened, the grille back will be loose,
do not allow it to fall. Grasp the grille back on each side
and tilt the top forward and lift upward to free the grille
back from its mounting.
