Adjusting Controls

Give the refrigerator time to cool down completely before adding food. It is best to wait 24 hours before you put food into the refrigerator. The settings indicated in the previous section should be correct for normal household refrigerator usage. The controls are set correctly when milk or juice is as cold as you like and when ice cream is firm.

If you need to adjust temperatures in the refrigerator or freezer, use the settings listed in the chart below as a guide. Wait at least 24 hours between adjustments.

WARNING

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 unintentional dispensing.

NOTE:

Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system.

If your model has a base grille filter system, make sure the base grille filter is properly installed.

The dispensing system will not operate when the freezer door is open.
