HOWTHE WATER DISPENSER WORKS
The water tank is located behind the drawers in the refrigerator
compartment. As the water is dispensed, the tank is aLxtornati-
cally refilled. For proper operation of the dispenser, the supply
water' pressure must fatl between 30 psi and 120 psi.
After the refrigerator is installed and the plumbing connec-
tions are complete, the water tank should be filled by
drawing one glass of water. This wtll take about 1-1/2
minutes. Then, draw and discard 7 more glasses to be
sure that the tank and plumbing connections are rinsed of
any impurities. The water delivery system has a built in
shut off device that will stop the water flow after 3 minutes
of continuous use. Simply release the actuator button to
reset the dispensing mechanism.
To ensure fresh.tasting water, ptan to use the dispenser
every day. If the water dispenser has not been used for a
week or more, draw and discard 7-8 glasses to freshen
the tank supply°
HOW THE ICE DISPENSER WORKS
The ice maker and ice storage bin are located in the top left
corner of the freezer compartment. After the refrigerator is
installed properly and has cooled for several hours, the ice
maker can begin making ice.To begin ice production, lower
the wire signal arm to the "down" or ON position. As cubes
are made, they are stored in the storage bin. Although it
may take 1 or 2 days to fil! the bin, the dispenser may be
used after the first batch of ice is made. The ice maker
turns off automatically when the ice storage bin is full.
Because of new plumbing connections, the first production
of ice Cubes may be discolored Or have an odd flav0r: .............
These should be discarded until the cubes made are free
of discoloration and taste. _ Remember, water
quality determines your ice quality. It is best to connect the
ice maker to water that is not softened° Contaminants from
a malfunctioning softener can damage the ice maker° If ice
maker is connected to soft water, ensure the softener is
maintained and working properly.
