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.

Ice Maker

(on some models - 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.
