Solutions
• Don't use the first ices made.
• Dispose of that old ice and make new.
• Pack again the food because it can transfer odors
and tastes to the ice.
• You might need to install a filter in order to
eliminate the odors and taste problems.
• Read the section Refrigerator Care and Cleaning.
• Empty the bin and discard the old ice cubes.
• Refer to the Understanding Sounds You May Hear
section
• Wait 24 hours after hook-up for ice production.
See the Adjusting the Controls section.
• Check to see if something is holding the door
open.
• Select a bigger size for the ice cubes.
• Call a plumber to clean the valve.
• Clean the gaskets and surface that they are in
contact with. Use a damp cloth with paraffin also
apply over the seal rings.
• When you open the door, the warm air enters
in refrigerator. When this air is cooled down it
occupies less volume and creates a vacuum effect.
If it is difficult to open wait 5 minutes then check.

• Read the section Connecting the Water Line.
• Wait 24 hrs for the freezer to reach its ideal
temperature.
• Hand level the ice cubes.
• With your hand find the vents and move and
package that might be blocking the air flow. See
the Multi Flow Section.
• When the doors are opened the warm and humid
air enters. To keep your refrigerator cool, take what
you need once and keep your food organized to
make it easy to find. Close the door a soon as
you can.
• Wait 24 hours to stabilize the temperature. If the
temperature is cold or hot, move the control until
the desire temperature is reached.
• After adding food to the refrigerator this will warm
up. It might take some hours for the refrigerator to
reach its temperature.
• Wrap the food evenly and before packing anything
dry all the bins to avoid humidity. If it is necessary,
pack the food according to the section Food
Storage Guide.
• Read Doors will not Close Correctly section.
• In humid weathers, the air contains humidity,
which introduces it self if the doors are opened.
• It's normal that some water props get formed
after the defrosting cycle is completed.
