REFRIGERATOR USE

Using the Controls

IMPORTANT:

Wait 24 hours for your refrigerator to cool completely before adding food. If you add food before the refrigerator has cooled completely, your food may spoil.

NOTE: Adjusting the Refrigerator and Freezer Controls to a colder than recommended setting will not cool the compartments any faster.

The recommended settings should be correct for normal household refrigerator use. 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, before adjusting the controls, first make sure the air vents are not blocked.

For your convenience, the controls are preset at the factory. When you first install your refrigerator, make sure that the controls are still preset to the recommended setting as shown.

Adjusting Dial Control

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 Maker

(onsomemodels- Accessory)

Turning the Ice Maker On/Off

NOTE: Do not force the wire shutoff arm up or down.

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

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.

To manually turn the ice maker off, lift the wire shutoff arm to the OFF (arm up) position and listen for the click to make sure the ice maker will not continue to operate.

Ice Production Rate

NORMAL Ice Production: The ice maker should produce approximately 8 to 12 batches of ice in a 24-hour period. If ice is not being made fast enough, turn the Freezer Control toward a higher (colder) number in half number steps. (For example, if the control is at 3, move it to between 3 and 4.) Wait 24 hours and, if necessary, gradually turn the Freezer Control to the highest setting, waiting 24 hours between each increase.

MAXIMUM Ice Production (on some models): The ice maker should produce approximately 16 to 20 batches of ice in a 24- hour period. If your refrigerator has the maximum ice production feature, push the switch to MAX.

Remember

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

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.

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