HOW THE WATER DISPENSER WORKS
The watertank is located behind the drawers inthe refrigerator
compartment.. As the water isdispensed, the tank is
automatically refilled. For proper operation of the dispenser, the
supply water pressure must fall between 30 psi and 120 psi.
After the refrigerator is installed and the plumbing
connections are complete, the water tank should be filled
by drawing one glass of water. This will 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 wilt 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, plan 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
makercan 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 fill 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 futl.
Because of new plumbing connections, the first production
of ice cubes may be discolored or have an odd flavor.
These should be discarded until the cubes made are free
of discoloration and taste
_Remember, water quality determines yourice
quatity It is best to connect the ice maker to water that is
not softened.. Chemicals 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.
