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 "Water and Ice Dispensers."

NOTE: It may take up to 24 hours for your ice maker to begin

producing ice.

For your convenience, your refrigerator controls are preset at the

factory. When you first install your refrigerator, make sure that the

controls are still preset. The Refrigerator Control and the Freezer

Control should both be set to the "mid-settings."

IMPORTANT:

Your product will not cool when the Refrigerator Control is

set to OFF.

The Refrigerator Control adjusts the refrigerator

compartment temperature. The Freezer Control adjusts

the freezer compartment temperature. Higher numbered

settings make the compartment colder. Lower numbered

settings make the temperature less cold.

Wait 24 hours before you put food into the refrigerator. If

you add food before the refrigerator has cooled

completely, your food may spoil.

1. Push control button on the side of the control box and

release it.

2. The control will pop out. Turn the control to the desired

setting.

3. Push the control in to lock it into place.

NOTE: Adjusting the Refrigerator and Freezer Controls to a higher

(colder) than recommended setting will not cool the

compartments any faster.

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.
