Do not block any of these vents with food packages. If the vents

are blocked, airflow will be prevented and temperature and

moisture problems may occur.

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 and drying out of food, wrap or cover foods tightly.

Using the Controls

For your convenience, your refrigerator and freezer controls are

preset at the factory. When you first install your refrigerator, make

sure that the controls in the refrigerator and freezer

compartments are still preset to the mid-settings as shown.

Mid-setting "4"

IMPORTANT:

To turn your refrigerator off, turn the freezer control to the

word OFF or until the word OFF appears. Neither

compartment will cool when the freezer control is set to OFF.

The refrigerator control adjusts the refrigerator compartment

temperature. The freezer control adjusts the freezer

compartment temperature. Settings to the left of the mid-

setting make the temperature less cold. Settings to the right

of the mid-setting make the temperature colder.

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 Refrigerator and Freezer Controls to a

higher (colder) than recommended setting will not cool the

compartments any faster.

The preset settings should be correct for normal household

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, first check the air vents to be sure they are not

blocked before adjusting the controls.

Adjusting Controls

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. Always

remember to wait at least 24 hours between adjustments.

Ice Maker

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

The ice maker should produce a complete harvest of ice every

3 hours. 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.

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.
