KitchenAid 2302428 warranty Crisper Humidity Control, Ice Maker, Water Dispenser

Adjusting Controls

The mid-settings indicated in the previous section should be correct for normal household usage. The controls are set correctly when milk or juice is as cold as you like and when ice cream is firm.

If the temperature is too warm or too cold in the refrigerator or freezer, first check the air vents to be sure they are not blocked.

If you need to adjust temperatures, use the settings listed in the chart below as a guide. On models with two controls, adjust the refrigerator temperature first. Wait at least 24 hours between adjustments and then recheck the temperatures.

Ice Production Rate

■Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the first three batches of ice produced.

■The ice maker should produce approximately 8 to 12 batches of ice in a 24-hour period.

■To increase ice production, lower the freezer and refrigerator temperature. See “Using the Controls.” Wait 24 hours between adjustments.

■For maximum ice production (on some models), push the switch to OptimIce. The ice maker should produce 16 to

20 batches of ice in a 24-hour period in the OptimIce mode.

Remember

■The quality of your ice will be only as good as the quality of the water supplied to your ice maker. Avoid connecting the ice maker to a softened water supply. Water softener chemicals (such as salt) can damage parts of the ice maker and lead to poor quality ice. If a softened water supply cannot be avoided, make sure the water softener is operating properly and is well maintained.

■Never use anything sharp to break up the ice in the bin. This can cause damage to the ice container and the dispenser mechanism.

■Do not store anything on top of or in the ice maker or ice bin.

Crisper Humidity Control

(on some models)

You can control the amount of humidity in the moisture-sealed crisper. Adjust the control to any setting between LOW and HIGH.

LOW (open) for best storage of fruits and vegetables with skins. HIGH (closed) for best storage of fresh, leafy vegetables.

Ice Maker

Turning the Ice Maker On/Off

To turn the ice maker ON, simply lower the wire shutoff arm.

To manually turn the ice maker OFF, lift the wire shutoff arm to the OFF (arm up) position and listen for the click.

NOTE: Your ice maker has an automatic shutoff. As ice is made, the ice cubes will fill the ice storage bin and the ice cubes will raise the wire shutoff arm to the OFF (arm up) position. Do not force the wire shutoff arm up or down.

Water Dispenser

WARNING

Cut Hazard

Use a sturdy glass when dispensing ice or water.

Failure to do so can result in cuts.

IMPORTANT:

■After connecting the refrigerator to a water source, flush the water system by dispensing water into a sturdy container until you draw and discard 2 to 3 gal. (8 to 12 L) of water, or for approximately 5 minutes after the water begins dispensing. The flushing process cleans the water system and clears the air from the lines. As the air is cleared from the lines, water may spurt out of the dispenser.

■Allow several hours for the refrigerator to cool down and chill water.

■Dispense enough water every week to maintain a fresh supply.

To Dispense Water:

There are two water dispenser buttons for use with different sizes of containers.

1.Press a sturdy glass against the back button or hold a container under the dispenser while pressing the front button.

2.Remove the glass or release the front button to stop dispensing.
