ICE SERVICE

If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker,
no ice will be produced during the first 24 hours
of operation. Air in new plumbing lines may cause
the ice maker to cycle two or three times before
making a full tray of ice. With no usage, it will take
approximately one to two days to fill the ice container.
New plumbing connections may cause the first
production of ice cubes to be discolored or have an
odd flavor. Discard ice made during the first 24 hours.

NOTE
Automatic ice makers are also optional accessories
that may be installed in most models at any time.
Call your local dealer for information.
Turning your Ice Maker On
After the plumbing connections have been
completed, the water supply valve must be
opened. Place the ice container under the ice
maker, pushing it as far back as possible. Lower
the wire signal arm to its "down" or ON position.
Turning your Ice Maker Off
To stop the ice maker, lift the wire signal arm until
it clicks and locks in the "up" or OFF position. The
ice maker also turns off automatically when the
ice container is full.
IMPORTANT
Your ice maker is shipped from the factory with
the wire signal arm in the ON position. To ensure
proper function for your ice maker, hook up water
supply immediately or turn ice maker OFF by
lifting the wire signal arm until it clicks and locks
in the UP position. If the ice maker is not turned
off and the water supply is not connected, the
water valve will make a loud chattering noise.

Temperature Adjustment

• Adjust temperature gradually: move the knob
in small increments, allowing the temperature
to stabilize.
Turning the refrigerator/freezer control will change
temperatures in both compartments. The auxiliary
freezer control has no effect on electrical power to
the refrigerator.
To maintain temperatures, a fan circulates air in the
refrigerator and freezer compartments. For good
circulation, do not block cold air vents with food items.
IMPORTANT
Turning the refrigerator/freezer temperature control
to "0" turns off the compressor and prevents the
refrigerator from cooling, but does not disconnect
the power to the light bulb and other electrical
components. To turn off power to your refrigerator,
you must unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
