Ice&WaterDispenser
Yourrefrigeratorhasan automatic
icemakerandacustomdispenser
thatdispenseschilledwater,ice
cubesand crushedice throughthe
freezercompartmentdoor. Here’s
howtheywork.
Water flowsfrom the household
supply througha
(1)dual solenoidvalveto the
(2)water reservoir and to the
(3)automatic icemaker as needed.
Wateris frozen in the
(4)cube mold and ejected intothe
(5)storagebin where arnotor-
poweredauger movescubes
forwardinto the dispensing unit.
Whenyou touch the CUBES padon
frontof freezer compartment door,
icecubes will dispense through
chuteindoor when cradleispressed.
JVhenyou touch the CRUSHED
pad, baffle in housing channels
cubes through the crusher and
crushed ice fallsthrough chute into

;hilled water from reservoir flows
through the

QIntermittentdispensingof ice is

bethecauseandshouldbe removed
followinginstructionsbelowand
on page 11.
UIAvoidoverfillingglasseswith
iceand using narrowor extra-tall
giasses. This canjam the chuteor
causethe door in the chuteto freeze
shut. Periodicallyopen the freezer
compartmentdoor and lookdown
intothe chute. If ice is blocking
the chute, pokeit through with
awoodenspoon.
@To help keep bits of ice from
being sprayedbeyondthe glass,
place glass closeto ice chute—
but not so close that it blocks
outcomingice.
~Ice should not be dispensed into
thin glasses,fine china or delicate
crystal—they can crack or chip
from the combinedpressureof your
handpressing them againstthe
cradle and ice dropping into
the container.
@Ice should be dispensed before
filling glass with soda or other
beveragemixes. This will prevent
splashing which is annoyingand
which, if the splash reaches the ice
and water selector switch, could
cause it to stick or bind.
@Beverages and foods should not
be quick-chilled in the ice storage
bin. Cans, bottles or food packages
in the storage bin may cause the
icemaker to malfunction.
@Ice other than that produced
by your icemaker should not be
added to the icestorage bin—it
may not crush or dispense well.

Under certain rare

of copper salts in an inactive

*U.S.DepartmentofAgricultwt?
Meats, fish and poultry purchased
from the store vary in quality and
age; consequently, safe storage
time in your refrigerator will vary.
To store unfrozen meats, fish and
poultry:
@Always remove store wrappings.
@Rewrap in foil, film or wax paper
and refrigerate immediately,
Tostorecheese,wrapWC1lwith
waxpaperor aluminum foil,orput
inaplasticbag.
@Carefullywraptocxpdairand
helppreventmold,
@Storepre-packagedcheese inits
ownwrappingif youwish.
Tostorevegetables,usethe
vegetabledrawers—-they’vebeen
designedto preservethenatural
moistureand freshnessof produce.
oCoveringvegetableswithamoist
towelhelpsmaintaincrispness.
oAsafurther aid to freshness,
pre-packagedvegetablescanbe
stored intheir originalwrapping.
Note:Special,fiaeshfoodcornpartvwnt
drawers (on nzodels so equipped)
tnake it unnccesswy to wrap certain
foods whichthey’vebeendesigned
topreserve. Tlzescdrawersare
describedonpage 13.
To storeicecream—Fine-quality
ice cream, with highcream
content, will normally require
slightlylowei-temperaturesthan
more “airy” already-packaged
brands with lowcream content.
@Itwillbe necessarytoexperimentto
determine the freezer compartment
location and temperaturecontrol
settingto keep your ice cream at
the right serving temperature.
~The rearofthefreezercompartment
is slightlycolder than the front.
Tips on freezing foods
Therearethreeessentialrequirements
for efficient home freezing.
1. Initial quality. Freeze only top-
qualityfoods.Freezingretainsquality
and flavor;itcannotimprovequality.
2. Speed. The quicker fruits and
vegetablesare frozen after picking,
the better the frozen product will
be. You’llsavetime, too, with less
cuiling and sorting to do.
3. Proper packaging. Use food
wraps designed especially for
freezing; they’re readily available
at most food stores.

*Storelikethingstogether.This
savesboth time and electricity
becauseyoucan find foodsfaster,
@Place the oldest itemsup frontso
theycan be used up promptly.
~Use shelveson the door fo’rmost
oftenused saucesand condiments.
TO savemoneyin energy
and foodcosts
@Place most perishable items, SUC1
as milk, cream or cottagecheese,
towardthe rear ofthe top shelf, as
they will staycoldest in thispart
of the fresh foodcompartment.
~Covermoist foods with tight lids,
plasticfilm or foil.
@Leafvegetablesand fruitsplacedin
drawerswilllastlongerwhenstored
in closed plastic containers or
wrapped in plastic film.
@Do not overloadyour fresh food
or freezer compartment with alot
of warm food at once.
@Open the door the fewesttimes
possible to saveelectrical energy.
@When going out of town for
severaldays,leaveas fewperishables
as possible in the refrigerator.
