TEMPERATURE CONTROLLED MEAT LOCKER
The 26" deep side-by-side refrigerator/freezer is equipped with a chilled meat locker which will keep
the contents of the drawer approximately 5°F colder than the rest of the refrigerator section. (Fig. 5)
A slide on the front of the drawer operates a damper which directly controls the amount of freezer air
drawn into the drawer through an air duct.
ICE AND WATER DISPENSER
For ice and water dispensing, a plumbing connection must be made between the household water
supply and the dual solenoid valve mounted on the rear cabinet rail.
Ice dispensing operates as follows:
1. The automatic ice maker is mounted on the
back wall of the freezer liner. Water automatically
fills the mold, freezes into ice and dumps ice into the
the storage bin.
2. When the storage bin is full, a shut-off arm prevents
additional ice production until ice has been removed,
which lowers the shut-off arm. The storage bin will hold
approximately 8 pounds of ice. A motor driven helix is
mounted near the bottom of the storage bin.
(Fig. 7)
When energized, the helix moves the ice to the front of
the storage bin where ice is directed into a lift wheel
mechanism. (Fig. 8)
3. In cube mode, the helix turns ice lift wheel counter-clockwise.
Ice bypasses the crusher blades and is dispensed into a glass.
4. In crushed mode, the helix turns clockwise forcing the ice into the crusher blades. Crushed ice
pieces will vary in size and shape.
5. Keep bits of ice from being sprayed beyond glass by placing a glass with a large opening close to
the ice chute.

6. Dispense ice by holding glass against ice lever arm. The mechanically operated ice chute door
opens, and the motor driven helix is energized and ice is automatically dispensed into glass.
When glass is withdrawn, a delay mechanism slowly closes the ice chute door.
7. Sometimes a mound of “snow”will form on the door and/or ice chute.This condition is normal and
usually occurs with the repeated dispensing of crushed ice. “Snow” will eventually evaporate or
moisture can be wiped dry.
8. If the dispenser bar is held for long periods, the dispenser motor shuts off automatically after 2 to
3 minutes to prevent overload. The motor resets automatically after 3 minutes and ice dispensing
can continue.
9. Use only ice from internal automatic ice maker. Do not add purchased ice cubes or cubes made
in any other manner. Dispenser operates only with cubes of proper size and shape.
10. Allow 12 hours after installation before first harvest of ice. Time required depends on freezer
temperature and amounts of food in freezer and refrigerator compartments.
11. The storage bin fills in three to four days depending on frequency of use. Two to 4 pounds of ice
will be made in a 24-hour period with a 0°F to 2°F freezer food temperature.
12. To temporarily meet demands for increased ice production, turn freezer control to colder setting.
Return freezer control to normal setting as soon as possible.
Water dispenser operates as follows:
1. Thereservoir is located in the refrigeratorsectiondirectlybehindthecrisperdrawers. Thereservoir
inlet tube comes from a solenoid valve mounted on the rear cabinet rail.
2. The reservoir holds approximately 40 ounces of water.
3. The outlet tube exits through the refrigerator floor and travels through a conduit foamed into the
cabinet bottom to a location just short of the freezer door bottom hinge. 5/16 inch tube is reduced
to 1/4 inch by means of a coupling. The tube enters the freezer door through the center of the
hinge pin and runs up the left flange of the door and crosses over the top of the cavity behind the
water dispensing lever.
(Fig. 9) NOTE: The first glass of water will be somewhat warmer than
following glasses, since the water tube leading to the dispenser from the water reservoir is not
refrigerated.
4. The reservoir is filled by holding a glass against water the lever arm until water flows into a glass.
5. If household plumbing has been disturbed, thoroughly flush the water system.This will help
remove foreign materials in the water and also flush plumbing in refrigerator.
To avoid risk of personal Injury or property damage, refrigerator must be
unplugged and ice storage bin must be removed before attempting to service
dispenser system. Never put fingers, hands, or foreign objects Into Ice dispenser
opening while attempting to manually clear stalls or jams. Never use sharp
objects to break Ice. In case of stall or jam in cube or crushed mode, dispense in
opposite mode several times.There may be a delay when switching between
cube and crushed ice.This is normal. It takes a few seconds for cubes to be
moved from storage bin.

6. If odor, taste and sediment are a problem, a granulated activated carbon filter should be installed
on the household plumbing line.
7. Underneath the ice and water dispenser is a small sump to catch any spillage that may occur.
This is not a drain. However the sump is heated to speed up water evaporation. A removable
grille isprovided as a sump cover.
8. A six watt lamp is activated each time the water or ice dispensing lever arms are depressed.
Turning cavity night light switch off does not affect lamp being activated by ice or water levers.
9. The night light is activated by a photoelectric cell mounted in the dispenser front cover plaque.
Depending on ambient light, the night light may not always be on at full brightness. This is
normal. The night light can be turned off manually.

TEMPERATURE CONTROL OPERATION
1. Freezer temperature is regulated by an air sensing thermostat located at the top rear of the
refrigerator compartment. A sensing tube goes into a well which routes the tube into the freezer
section. This thermostat actuates the compressor to circulate refrigerant through the sealed
system. (Fig. 10) The thermostat should be set to maintain 0°F to 2°F freezer food temperature.

ADAPTIVE DEFROST OPERATION
1. This unit is equipped with Adaptive Defrost Control (ADC). (Fig. 12) A defrost cycle occurs after
a predetermined length of compressor run time. The length of accumulated compressor run time
is determined by a microprocessor that monitors the length of a defrost cycle (the time) interval
between energizing the defrost heater and the defrost thermostat opening). The microprocessor
then adapts or changes the amount of accumulated compressor run time between defrost cycles.
2. The accumulated Compressor Run Time between Defrost (CRTD) will be one of the five values
under normal operation:
CRTD (0) = 4 hours (Start Up)
CRTD (1) = 8 hours
CRTD (2) = 12 hours
CRTD (3) = 16 hours
CRTD (4) = 72 hours (Vacation)
• If the defrost cycle length is low, (19 minutes or less), indicating a small frost load, the CRTD
for the next defrost cycle is advanced to the next level.
• If the defrost cycle length is 19 to 24 minutes, indicating a normal frost load, the CRTD for the
next defrost cycle is not changed.
• If the defrost cycle length is 24 minutes or more, the CRTD for the next defrost cycle is lowered
one level.
• When the product is first installed or after a power interruption, the first CRTD will be 4 hours.
3. Vacation Mode: A CRTD of 72 hours will be initiated when the following three conditions exist:
• The defrost interval must have advanced to CRTD (3) = 16 hours.
• Both the refrigerator and freezers doors must have remained closed since the last defrost
cycle.
• The defrost thermostat must have opened in less than 19 minutes during the last defrost cycle.
Fig. 12

12
4. Vacation Mode Defrost Interval Interruption: The Vacation Mode Defrost Interval will be
interrupted when either the freezer or refrigerator door is opened.
• The next defrost cycle will occur 8 hours after the door is opened and the ADC will revert to
CRTD (1) = 8 hours.
• If the defrost thermostat remains closed for 19 minutes or more, the ADC will revert the CRTD
back one level.
5. A six minute dwell time occurs after the defrost thermostat opens before the compressor and
condenser fan motor operate.
6. If the defrost thermostat does not open within 29 minutes from the start of a defrost cycle, the
ADC will terminate the defrost cycle automatically.
7. Forced Defrost: To force a defrost cycle to occur, open and close the refrigerator or freezer
door light switch four times in eight seconds allowing ½ second between each action.
IMPORTANT:
• The compressor must be running when forcing defrost.
• The evaporator fan motor is delayed through the defrost thermostat and will not operate until
the defrost thermostat closes.
• To by-bass the 6 minute dwell time after a defrost cycle or to terminate a forced defrost, discon-
nect power to the unit for 30 seconds.
8. When Defrost Mode terminates (the defrost bi-metal opens) the evaporator fan motor will not
operate until the defrost bi-metal resets. This could take approximately five minutes.
