Complete the Installation 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" in the User Instructions or User Guide. NOTE: Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Allow 72 hours to completely fill ice container. REFRIGERATOR USE Using the Controls The refrigerator and freezer controls are located on the dispenser panel. IMPORTANT: The display screen on the dispenser control panel will turn off automatically and enter "sleep" mode when the control buttons and dispenser lever have not been used for 2 minutes or more. While in "sleep" mode, the first press of a control button will only reactivate the display screen, without changing any settings. ■ Touch any control button on the dispenser panel to activate the display screen. The home screen will appear as shown. Adjusting the Controls For your convenience, your refrigerator and freezer controls are preset at the factory. When you first install your refrigerator, make sure that both the refrigerator and freezer controls are still set to "4," the recommended "mid-setting." IMPORTANT: ■ Wait 24 hours before you put food into the refrigerator. If you add food before the refrigerator has cooled completely, your food may spoil. NOTE: Adjusting the set points to a colder than recommended setting will not cool the compartments any faster. ■ If the temperature is too warm or too cold in the refrigerator or freezer, first check the air vents to be sure they are not blocked before adjusting the controls. ■ The preset settings should be correct for normal household usage. The controls are set correctly when milk or juice is as cold as you like and when ice cream is firm. ■ Wait at least 24 hours between adjustments. Recheck the temperatures before other adjustments are made. When adjusting set points, use the following chart as a guide. CONDITION: ADJUSTMENT: REFRIGERATOR too cold REFRIGERATOR Setting one setting higher REFRIGERATOR too warm REFRIGERATOR Setting one setting lower FREEZER too cold FREEZER Setting one setting higher FREEZER too warm / Too little ice FREEZER Setting one setting lower The set point range is "1" (coldest) to "7" (least cold). When the recommended "mid-setting" ("4") is selected, a check mark appears next to the setting. Refrigerator Control: ■ Press FRIDGE TEMP to view the current set point for the refrigerator. ■ Press FRIDGE TEMP again to adjust the set point. The setting will decrease by 1 with each press of the button, looping back to "7" after reaching "1." After 60 seconds of inactivity, any changes will be saved and the display will return to the home screen. 10
