Adjusting The Thermostat

DM2662, DM2663 & DM2862:
The thermostat controls both the gas and elec-
tric operation, thereby eliminating the necessity
of resetting each time a different energy source is
employed. After the initial start-up, the thermostat
should be adjusted to the desired temperature set-
ting.
1.  P ress the temperature selector button until the
lamp at the desired setting is illuminated.
DM2652 & DM2852:
The temperature is controlled by a factory preset
temperature setting.
C.

Extreme Cold Weather Operation

Refrigerator performance may be reduced in ex-
tremely cold (sub-zero) temperatures. This tempo-
rary condition is normal for absorption refrigerators
and does not indicate product failure. In the event
that performance is reduced in such conditions,
turn the refrigerator off. As ambient temperatures
rise, please restart your refrigerator according to in-
structions before requesting service.
D.

Operating The Ice Maker

(ICE MAKER MODELS ONLY)
Before the ice maker can operate, make sure that:
● The refrigerator is connected to 120 VAC.
● The water valve supplying the refrigerator is
turned on.
● The ice level bail arm is in its fully down position.
 K eep bail arm in the up (OFF) position un-
til water is present at the ice maker. See
(FIG. 5).
FIG. 5
When the ice maker thermostat senses the preset
temperature for the ejection of the ice cubes, the
fingers will start to rotate, dumping any ice cubes
and filling the mold with water. When the storage
container is full, the bail arm will come in contact
with the ice cubes. The bail arm cannot return to the
full down position and the ice production is stopped
until the bin is emptied, or ice cubes are removed.
