WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

Do not remove ground prong.

Do not use an adapter.

Do not use an extension cord.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

1.Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

2.Flush the water system. See “Prepare the Water System” or “Water and Ice Dispensers.”

NOTE: Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Allow 3 days to completely fill ice container.

To turn cooling off, press and hold the LOCK and FAST ICE/COOL buttons at the same time for 3 seconds. Press and hold LOCK and FAST ICE/COOL again to turn cooling on. Your refrigerator and freezer will not cool when cooling is off.

IMPORTANT: To avoid unintentionally locking the dispenser or changing other settings, be sure to press both buttons at exactly the same time.

For your convenience, your refrigerator and freezer controls are preset at the factory. When you first install your refrigerator, make sure that the controls are still set to the “mid-settings.”

To view set points, press the TEMPERATURE button on your dispenser panel. The factory recommended set points are 0°F (-18°C) for the freezer and 37°F (3°C) for the refrigerator.

IMPORTANT:

Wait 24 hours before you put food into the refrigerator. If you add food before the refrigerator has cooled completely, your food may spoil.

NOTE: Adjusting the set points to a higher (colder) than recommended setting will not cool the compartments any faster.

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.

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.

Wait at least 24 hours between adjustments. Recheck the temperatures before other adjustments are made.

The display screen on the dispenser control panel has a backlight, which will turn off automatically when the control buttons have not been used for 30 seconds or more. When the backlight is off, the first press of a control button will only reactivate the backlight, without changing any settings. Within 30 seconds after the backlight has been reactivated, additional presses of control buttons will change the applicable settings.
