Safety First

When first placed into operation, discard the first bin of ice, as this will remove any impurities that
may have been in the water system.
Do the same after vacations or extended periods when ice is not used.
Ice cubes, when not used, will become cloudy, will shrink, and will taste stale. The ice bin will
need to be emptied and cleaned periodically.
Avoid contact with moving parts of the ejector mechanism.
Do not place fingers on the automatic ice making mechanism while the refrigerator is turned on.

AIRFLOW

The freezer fan draws air through the evaporator and into a duct in the rear wall of the freezer
compartment. This air exits through the fan grill at the top of the freezer compartment. The air
behind the freezer coil cover is also diverted through the divider partition to another fan, which
supplies the cold air into the PC compartment. The amount of air is controlled electronically by two
sensors, which in turn regulate the speed of both PC and FC fans to maintain selected
temperatures in each compartment.
Air from the PC returns to the FC evaporator by way of the return air duct, which is built into the
divider partition. This air is drawn across the evaporator by the evaporator FC fan motor to be
recirculated again throughout the PC / FC compartments.
