Energy saving tips...

l
It is normal for ice crescents to be attached by a
corner. They will break apart easily.
l
Ycu will hear water running when ice maker is
working. You’ll hear ice fall into the bin. Don’t let
these sounds bother you.
l
The ice maker will not operate until the freezer is
cold enough to make ice. This can take overnight.
l
Because of new plumbing connections, the first
ice may be discolored or off-flavored. Discard the
first few batches of ice.
l
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.
l
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
posrtion.
l
If cubes are stored too long, they may develop an
off-flavor...lrke stale water. Throw them away. They
will be replaced. Cubes in the ice bin can also
become smaller by evaporation.
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 chart describes the kinds of sounds that might be new
to you, and what may be making them.
Probable Causes:
You may hear the refrigerator’s fan motor and moving air
The defrost timer makes a definite click when the refrigerator stops running. It
also makes a sound when the refrigerator starts.
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
If your refngerator has an Ice maker, you may hear buzzing (from the water
valve), trickling water and the clatter of ice dumped into the bin.
Your refrigerator has a high-efficiency compressor and motor. It will run longer
than older desrgns. It may even seem to run most of the time.
You can help your refrigerator use less electricity
l
Check door gaskets for a tight seal. Level the cabi-
net to be sure of a good seal
l
Clean the condenser coil regularly,
l
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 foods organized
so you won’t have to search for what you want,
Close door as soon as food is removed
l
Go ahead and fill up the refrigerator, but don’t over-
crowd it so air movement is blocked
. It ISa waste of electncrty 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 famrly likes them, that’s cold enough.
l
Keep the Power Saving Control on CONSUMES LESS
ENERGY unless moisture forms on refrigerator
exterior.
l
Make sure your refrrgerator
IS
not next to a heat
source such as a range, water heater, furnace, radi-
ator, or In direct sunlight.
