ADJUSTING CONTROL SETTINGS

Give the refrigerator time to cool down completely before making final adjustments. It is best to wait 24 hours before doing this. The initial settings mentioned in CONTROL PANEL FEATURES section should be correct for normal household refrigerator use.

The refrigerator control functions as the thermostat for the entire appliance (refrigerator and freezer sections). The colder the setting, the longer the compressor will run to keep the temperature colder. The freezer control adjusts the cold air flow from the freezer to the refrigerator. Setting the freezer control to a lower temperature keeps more cold air in the freezer compartment to make it colder.

If you need to adjust temperatures in the refrigerator or freezer, start by adjusting the refrigerator and allow 24 hours for the temperature to stabilize. If it is too warm or

The icemaker will produce 5 cubes per cycle, approximately 90 cubes in a 24 hour period, depending on freezer compartment temperature, room temperature, number of door openings and other operating conditions.

If the refrigerator is used before the water connection is made to the icemaker, set the power switch to OFF (O).

Throw away the first few batches of ice to allow the water line to clear.

Be sure nothing interferes with the sweep of the shutoff arm.

When the bin fills to the level of the shutoff arm, the icemaker will stop producing ice.

It is normal for several cubes to be stuck together.

If ice is not used frequently, old ice cubes will become cloudy, taste stale, and shrink.
