IMPORTANT: Because air circulates between both sections, any odors formed in one section will transfer to the other. You must
thoroughly clean both sections to eliminate odors. To prevent odor transfer from food, wrap or cover foods tightly.

NOTE: Adjusting the Refrigerator and Freezer Controls to a higher (colder) setting will not cool the compartments any faster.
The preset settings 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 before adjusting the controls.
Adjusting Rotary Controls
If you need to adjust temperatures, adjust the refrigerator temperature first.
NOTE: Wait at least 24 hours between adjustments and then re- check the temperatures.

Cut Hazard
Use a sturdy glass when dispensing ice or water. Failure to do so can result in cuts.
Depending on your model, you may have one or more of the following options: the ability to select either crushed or cubed ice, a special light that turns on when you use the dispenser, or a lock option to avoid accidental dispensing.
The ice dispenser
Ice dispenses from the ice maker storage bin in the freezer. When the dispenser lever is pressed:
•A trap door opens in a chute between the dispenser and the ice bin. Ice moves from the bin and falls through the chute.
•When you release the dispenser lever, the trap door closes and the ice dispensing stops. The dispensing system will not operate when the freezer door is open.
Some models dispense both cubed and crushed ice. Before dispensing ice, select which type of ice you prefer. The button

ICE
•For crushed ice, press the CRUSH button until the red indicator appears in the window above the CRUSH button.
For crushed ice, cubes are crushed before being dispensed. This may cause a slight delay when dispensing crushed ice. Noise from the ice crusher is normal, and pieces of ice may vary in size. When changing from CRUSH to CUBE, a few ounces of crushed ice will be dispensed along with the first cubes.
