USE AND CARE GUIDE FOR YOUR REFRIGERATOR/FREEZER
When the bucket is full and in the proper (highest pos-
sible) position, the Stop Arm senses the ice and stops 
ice making.
To stop the icemaker, whether full or not, simply raise 
the Stop Arm to “up” position.  To restart, lower the 
Stop Arm.
TIME PER CYCLE... Varies due to door openings, water 
temperatures, etc.
NORMAL ICEMAKER OPERATION
Sounds to be expected: motor hum; creaking of 
the Ejector Blade; ice dropping into the bucket; 
running water; water supply valve snapping open.
Frost formations in area of the icemaker: Since 
fresh water enters the form, frost build-up near the 
icemaker occurs.  This will not affect the operation 
of your freezer.
Ice in the bucket for long periods may freeze to-
gether and acquire odors.  Discard stale pieces... 
Your icemaker will make more.
Temperatures...
are automatically controlled by thermostats.  You may 
adjust your refrigerator compartment without adversely 
affecting freezer temperatures, and vice versa.  The 
refrigerator and the freezer compartment each have 
their own temperature control.  The freezer control is 
located in the roof of the freezer.  The refrigerator con-
trol is either on the upper left side wall (side-by-side 
models), or in the roof area of the refrigerator.  “3” is 
a good setting to start out with... Lower numbers for 
warmer temperatures and higher numbers for coldest 
temperatures.
NOTE: To help keep food fresh longer, some moisture 
is desirable in the food storage compartments.  You 
may see it on the walls, or in the form of droplets of 
ice or “icicles”... especially in hot or humid weather, or 
when frequent or extended door openings occur.  This 
is normal, and not in any way harmful.  If occasional 
“spot” build-ups occur, it is usually the result of the 
above, or of “overcrowding” of food.  Occasionally 
remove such accumulation.
Defrosting...
is automatic.  It takes place in the Power Module, 
above and away from your food.  For several minutes 
each day the compressor and interior fan will shut off, 
while any ice accumulation is removed from the coils.
Cleaning...
It’s easy to keep your Built-In refrigerator/freezer 
clean.  Occasionally, clean the interior walls, shelves, 
door interiors and gaskets with a solution ot two (2) 
teaspoons of baking soda dissolved in a quart of luke-
warm water.  Harsh abrasives and cleaning powders 
are unnecessary and should never be used.  Do not 
place parts in the dishwasher.
It is recommended that circuit breakers be shut off 
before cleaning.  Wring excess moisture from sponge 
or cloth and avoid excess moisture, especially when 
cleaning in the vicinity of switches, lights or controls.
If your unit has a stainless steel interior, shelves or 
exterior door then use a stainless steel cleaner and a 
cloth to clean.
Condenser cleaning procedure...
The condenser is located behind the top grille.  It is a 
part of the Power Module on its very right hand side.  It 
has horizontal tubes with small diameter vertical wires 
and it is black in color.  It is away from floor dust, how-
ever, 
it should be examined for dust accumula-
tion at least two (2) times a year, and cleaned 
and/or vacuumed as necessary.  Remember to 
shut off the circuit breaker before removing the grille 
and before exposing, cleaning, and/or vacuuming the 
condenser.
There are three (3) styles of grille assemblies and 
each one can be removed.  Two (2) have removable 
facia assemblies and the third one is the louvered 
grille.  The first two (2) grille facia assemblies can be 
removed by first, lifting the decorative/stainless steel 
grille panel up approximately one (1) inch which will 
free it from the grille back, then place the panel aside.  
The louvered grille is all one assembly.
There are three (3) ways to remove the grille back.  
The first style is with mounting brackets behind the 
grille back.  Pull the grille forward about one (1) inch 
to expose the the top screw in the brackets.  Unscrew 
the screw to loosen it but do not remove it.  Do this 
to each bracket.  CAUTION, when the screw is loos-
ened, the grille back will be loose, do not allow it to 
fall.  Grasp the grille back on each side and tilt the top 
forward and lift upward to free the grille back from its 
mounting.
