Using Your Refrigerator

Continued

If ice is not being made fast enough and more ice

is needed, turn the Refrigerator Control toward a

higher number. Wait a day and, if necessary, turn

the Freezer Control toward A.

If you remove the ice bin, raise the signal arm to

shut off the ice maker. When you return the bin,

push It all the way in and lower the arm to the ON

position.

If cubes are stored too long, they may develop an

off-flavor.. like stale water. Throw them away. Ice

maker will make new ice. Cubes in the ice bin

can also become smaller by evaporation.

. Good water quality is important for good ice

quality. It is not recommended that the ice maker

be connected to a softened water supply. Water

softener chemicals such as salt from a malfunc-

tioning softener can damage the ice maker mold

and lead to poor quality ice. If a softened water

supply cannot be avoided, then it is important

that the water softener be well maintained and

operatrng properly.

Sounds you may hear

Your new refrigerator may make sounds that your

old one didn’t. Because the sounds are new to

you, you might be concerned about them. Don’t

be. Most of the new sounds are normal. Hard

surfaces like the floor, walls and cabinets can

make the sounds seem louder.

The following describes the kinds of sounds

that might be new to you, and what may be

making them.

Slight hum, soft hiss:

You may hear the refrigerator’s fan motor and

moving air.

Clicking or snapping sounds:

The thermostat makes a definite click when the

refrigerator stops running. It also makes a sound

when the refrigerator starts. The defrost timer

will click when the defrost cycle starts,

Water sounds:

When the refrigerator stops running, you may hear

gurgling in the tubing for a few minutes after it

stops. You may also hear defrost water running

into the defrost water pan.

Ice maker sounds:

trickling water

thud (clatter of ice)

If your refrigerator has an ice maker, you may hear

buzzing (from the water valve), trickling water and

the clatter of ice dumped into the bin.

Running sounds:

Your refrigerator has a high-efficiency compressor

and motor. It will run longer than older designs. It

may even seem to run most of the time.

Energy saving tips

You can help your refrigerator use less electricity.

Check door gaskets for a tight seal. Level the

cabinet to be sure of a good seal.

Clean the condenser coils regularly.

Open the door as few times as possible. Think

about what you need before you open the door.

Get everything out at one time. Keep food orga-

nized so you won’t have to search for what you

want. Close door as soon as food is removed.

Go ahead and fill up the refrigerator, but don’t

overcrowd it so air movement is blocked.

It is a waste of electricity to set the refrigerator

and freezer to temperatures colder than they

need to be. If ice cream is firm in the freezer and

drinks are as cold as your family likes them,

that’s cold enough.

Keep the Exterior Moisture Control on the OFF

setting unless moisture forms on refrigerator

exterior.

Make sure your refrigerator is not next to a heat

source such as a range, water heater, furnace,

radiator or in direct sunlight.
