Adjusting Control Settings; Icemaker Operation - Kenmore 795.5137 Use And Care Manual

ADJUSTING CONTROL SETTINGS
Give the refrigerator time to cool down completely
before making final adjustments. It is best to wait 24
hours before doing this. The initial settings mentioned in
CONTROL PANEL FEATURES section should be
correct for normal household refrigerator use.
The refrigerator control functions as the thermostat for
the entire appliance (refrigerator and freezer sections).
The colder the setting, the longer the compressor will
run to keep the temperature colder. The freezer control
adjusts the cold air flow from the freezer to the
refrigerator. Setting the freezer control to a lower
temperature keeps more cold air in the freezer
compartment to make it colder.
If you need to adjust temperatures in the refrigerator or
freezer, start by adjusting the refrigerator and allow 24
hours for the temperature to stabilize. If it is too warm or
too cold, then adjust the freezer control.
Use the settings listed in the chart below as a guide.
Always remember to wait at least 24 hours between
adjustments.

Personal Injury Hazard
Avoid contact with the moving parts of the ejector

the cubes. DO NOT place fingers or hands on the
automatic icemaking mechanism while the refrigerator

A newly-installed refrigerator may take
12 to 24 hours to begin making ice.

The icemaker will produce 5 cubes per cycle,
approximately 90 cubes in a 24 hour period, depending on
freezer compartment temperature, room temperature,
number of door openings and other operating conditions.
If the refrigerator is used before the water connection is
made to the icemaker, set the power switch to OFF (O).
Throw away the first few batches of ice to allow the
water line to clear.
Be sure nothing interferes with the sweep of the shutoff
arm.
When the bin fills to the level of the shutoff arm, the
icemaker will stop producing ice.
It is normal for several cubes to be stuck together.
If ice is not used frequently, old ice cubes will become
cloudy, taste stale, and shrink.
