Using The Dispenser - Frigidaire Gallery Series Use & Care Manual

Using the ice maker after
installation
Before making ice for the first time, be sure
to prime the water supply system. Air in new
plumbing lines can result in two or three empty
ice maker cycles. Furthermore, if the system
is not flushed, the first ice cubes may be
discolored or have an odd flavor.
Priming the water supply system
CAUTION
For proper dispenser operation,
recommended water supply pressure
should fall between 30 psi and 100 psi.
Excessive pressure may cause the system to
malfunction.
1 Begin filling the system by pressing and
holding a drinking glass against the
dispenser.
2 Keep the glass in this position until water
comes out of the dispenser. It may take
about 1½ minutes.
3 Continue dispensing water for about four
minutes to flush the system and plumbing
connections of any impurities (stopping to
empty the glass as necessary).
Dispenser

NOTE
The water dispenser has a built-in device
that shuts off the water flow after two min-
utes of continuous use. To reset this shutoff
device, simply release the dispenser paddle.

USING THE DISPENSER


NOTE
After the initial 26 ounces (750 ml), water
will remain room temperature until the tank
has refilled and been given enough time to
chill the next 26 ounces (750 ml) of water.
May take up to 8 hours to chill.
Ice maker operation & care
After the refrigerator is installed properly and
has cooled for several hours, the ice maker can
produce ice within 24 hours. The ice maker will
fill the ice bin from the rear. Dispense some
ice to force the ice forward in the bin. This will
allow the bin to fill completely.
Ice Maker and Storage Bin
Capacity
This ice maker should produce 2 to 3 pounds
of ice per 24 hours. The ice bin will hold about
4 pounds of ice.
Turning the fresh food ice maker
on and off
IMPORTANT
The ice maker is turned on at the factory
so it can work as soon as the refrigerator
is installed. If it is not possible to connect
a water supply, set the ice maker's On/Off
feature to Off; otherwise, the ice maker's fill
valve may make a loud chattering noise when
it attempts to operate without water.
Ice production is controlled by the ice maker's
On/Off feature on the control panel. Pressing
the On/Off feature turns the ice maker on &
off.

NOTE
The ice maker also has a built-in plastic
signal arm that automatically stops ice pro-
duction when the ice bin is full. This signal
arm should not be used to manually stop
the ice maker.
IMPORTANT
Turning off the ice maker simply disables ice
making. Existing ice can still be dispensed,
and water can be dispensed.
