CAUTION Throw away the first 20 ice cubes made, and the first 7 glass of dispensed water after installation. This is also recommended if the refrigerator has not been used for a long time. Keep children away from the dispenser. Children may play with or damage the controls. Storing cans or other items in the ice bucket may damage the icemaker. Never use thin crystal glass or crockery to collect ice cubes. Such glasses or containers may be broken. Get ice cubes first into a glass before dispensing water. Water may splash if it is done in opposite way.. Keep your hands and tools out of the ice room door and dispenser. You could break something or injure yourself. Shake the ice bucket occasionally to level the ice in it. Sometimes the ice piles up near the icemaker, causing the icemaker to misread the amount of ice cubes and stop producing ice. Never use narrow or deep glass. Ice could be stuck inside dispenser chute and, the refrigerator could fail. Keep the glass at a proper distance from dispenser chute. A glass too close to the outlet may hinder ice from coming out. Keep the ice room door closed tightly after opening it. If the ice room door were not closed tightly, the cold air in the ice room would come into refrigerator compartment and freeze food. This could cause the ice maker not to produce ice. Close the ice room door until you hear the sound "Click". When the door doesn't properly close, ice in the ice room could be melt, or frost and icicle could be formed within the refrigerator. Ice Bucket Room Door ADJUSTING CONTROL SETTINGS Give the refrigerator time to cool down completely before making final adjustments. It is best to wait hours before doing this. The mid-settings indicated in the refrigerator usage. The controls are set correctly when milk or juice is as cold as you like and when ice cream is firm. The refrigerator control functions as the thermostat for the entire appliance (refrigerator and freezer sections.) The higher the number 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 first. Wait 24 hours after the refrigerator adjustment to check the freezer temperature. If it is too warm or too cold, then adjust the freezer control as well. Use the settings listed in the chart below as a guide. Always remember to wait at least 24 hours between adjustments. CONDITION/REASON: RECOMMENDED ADJUSTMENT: REFRIGERATOR section too warm , Door opened often • Large amount of food added = Room temperature very warm Turn REFRIGERATOR control to next higher number, wait 24 hours, then re-check FREEZER section too warm/ ice not made fast enough , Door opened often • Large amount of food added • Very cold room temperature (can't cycle often enough) • Heavy ice usage • Air vents blocked by items REFRIGERATOR section too cold Controls not set correctly for your conditions Turn FREEZER control to next higher number, wait 24 hours, Then re-check Move items out of airstream Turn REFRIGERATOR control to next lower number, wait 24 hours, then re-check FREEZER section too cold • Controls not set correctly for your conditions Turn FREEZER control to next lower number, wait 24 hours, then re-check 18
