26 Using your ice maker (Ice & Water models only) Ice maker Your ice maker is designed to automatically dispense ice until it senses that the bin is full. So the more ice you use, the more it makes. It is even clever enough to sense when there is no bin in place to catch the ice and it will not dispense any ice. First use ■■ ■■ When you first turn your refrigerator on after installation, the ice maker will be off. To turn your ice maker on use the button to scroll to the screen.
Using your ice maker (Ice & Water models only) 27 Information about your ice maker ■■ ■■ ■■ ■■ ■■ ■■ ■■ ■■ ■■ Your automatic ice maker will produce approximately eight cubes of ice every 2 – 3 hours, depending on freezer compartment temperature and number of door openings. The ice cube tray will fill with water once the freezer has reached the correct temperature. When cubes are frozen, they will be ejected from the mould into the ice storage bin.
28 Active Smart™ special features (all models) Fruit and vegetable bins and humidity control lid ■■ ■■ The fruit and vegetable bins feature a unique lid which provides two functions: The humidity lid seals the bins and provides a humid microclimate to extend storage times of fruit and vegetables. The humidity lid prevents condensation, which forms at high humidities, from dripping down onto the fruit and vegetables by retaining it in the grooves of the lid.
Active Smart™ special features (all models) 29 Vegetable bin divider instructions (where fitted) ■■ To fit the divider, insert divider into bin on an angle, straighten and slot into place. To adjust the divider, fully extend the bin, partially lift the divider, slide sideways and re-slot into position. Fig.
30 Active Smart™ special features (all models) Door alarms ■■ ■■ ■■ If the fresh food compartment door is left open an alarm will beep after 90 seconds and if the freezer door is left open an alarm will beep after 60 seconds. While either door remains open, subsequent beeps will sound every 30 seconds for 5 minutes. A continuous alarm will sound if either door has been left open for 5 minutes or longer and the light will also turn off. The alarm will stop when the opened door is closed.
Cleaning and caring for your refrigerator (all models) 31 Exterior Stainless exterior doors (Iridium or EZKleen finishes) ■■ ■■ ■■ It is important when cleaning the exterior door surface of your refrigerator, to only use liquid dishwashing detergent dissolved in warm water, and a soft cloth. Dry the door with a clean, lint free cloth. The use of any abrasive or stainless steel cleaners and solvents will damage the door surface.
32 Cleaning and caring for your refrigerator (all models) Interior ■■ ■■ ■■ ■■ ■■ ■■ ■■ It is important to keep the interior of the refrigerator clean to help prevent food from becoming contaminated during storage. The amount and types of food stored determines how often cleaning should be carried out in the refrigerator (ideally once every 1 to 2 weeks). Remove the shelves from the fresh food and freezer compartment, including door shelves if applicable.
Cleaning and caring for your refrigerator (all models) Humidity control system Important! When cleaning the shelf above the vegetable bins, we recommend that you do not disassemble the Humidity Control System from the shelf. Retainer In the event that the humidity control lid (plastic lid) and humidity slides become separated from the glass shelf, follow these instructions to reassemble.
34 Cleaning and caring for your refrigerator (all models) To remove trays or fixed bins ■■ ■■ ■■ ■■ For ease of removal, empty food from tray/bin first. Hold the centre front of the tray/bin handle. Lift vertically to unclip from the runners and pull tray/bin towards you to remove. Push both runners back into refrigerator. To replace trays or fixed bins: ■■ Fig.30 Tray removal With the runners pushed back into the refrigerator, place the tray/bin on top of the runners.
Refrigerator sounds (all models) 35 Normal refrigerator sounds Active Smart™ refrigerators, with their excellent energy ratings and cooling performance, can produce sounds somewhat different to your old refrigerator. ■■ ■■ ■■ ■■ ■■ ■■ ■■ Normal operational sounds include: Fan air flow sound. Active Smart™ refrigerators have fans which change speed depending on demand.
36 Storing food in your refrigerator (all models) Storing fresh, perishable foods in your refrigerator helps to extend storage times. The cold temperatures slow down the major causes of food spoilage – namely, the growth of bacteria, moulds and yeasts, and chemical and physical reactions. Fresh food care ■■ ■■ ■■ ■■ ■■ ■■ ■■ ■■ ■■ ■■ ■■ The quality of food before it is placed in the refrigerator is critical to successful storage.
Storing food in your refrigerator (all models) Red meat ■■ ■■ ■■ Place fresh red meat on a plate and loosely cover with waxed paper, plastic wrap or foil. Store cooked and raw meat on separate plates. This will prevent any juices lost from the raw meat contaminating the cooked product. Delicatessen meats should be used within the recommended storage time. Poultry ■■ ■■ ■■ Fresh whole birds should be rinsed inside and out with cold running water. Dry and place on a plate.
38 Storing food in your freezer (all models) The use of temperatures of -18°C or colder to store food means that the food can be kept for longer periods than when refrigeration temperatures are used. This is because the growth of bacteria, moulds and yeasts are stopped, and chemical and physical reactions are severely restricted at such low temperatures. Frozen food care ■■ ■■ ■■ ■■ ■■ ■■ ■■ ■■ ■■ For best results: Choose only high quality foods that freeze well. Store at -18°C or colder.
Storing food in your freezer (all models) Meat, poultry and game ■■ ■■ ■■ ■■ Do not try to freeze more than 1 kg meat per 25 L freezer storage volume, at any one time. Meat must be frozen quickly in order to maintain its texture. Do not stuff poultry before freezing. Red meat can be cooked from frozen, or from the partly or completely thawed states. Remember to allow extra cooking time if cooking from frozen. Always thaw poultry completely before cooking.

Set humidity slide to low humidity setting. Sides of cabinet are warm. This is normal.
42 Troubleshooting (Ice & Water models only) Problem Possible causes What to do Ice maker makes unfamiliar sounds or seems too loud. Normal ice maker operation.

Bin is in the wrong way or there is no bin in place. Place bin so scoop is on the right side. Water supply turned off or not connected. Connect water supply.
Troubleshooting (Ice & Water models only) Problem Possible causes What to do Water has poor taste/odour. Refrigerator not used for an extended period. Dispense 10 L (10 qt) of water so fresh water supply is replenished. Water dispenser does not work. Water supply turned off or not connected. Turn water on. Supply line may be blocked. Check supply for kinks or leaks. On first installation there may be air in water system. To remove air, run a litre or a quart of water through the dispenser.
