USING YOUR REFRIGERATOR 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, compressor will the longer the 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. CONDITION/REASON: RECOMMENDED ADJUSTMENT: REFRIGERATOR section too warm -Door opened often -Large amount of food added -Room temperature very warm Set the Refrigerator control to the next colder level; wait 24 hours for the new setting to take full effect before making another adjustment. FREEZER section too warm/ ice not made fast enough -Door opened often -Large amount of food added -Very cold [room 55°F (13°C)] room temperature (Compressor does not cycle often enough). -Heavy ice usage -Air vents blocked by items Set the Freezer control to the next colder level; wait 24 hours for the new setting to take full effect before making another adjustment. Move items out of airstream REFRIGERATOR section too cold -Controls not set correctly for your conditions FREEZER section too cold -Controls not set correctly for your conditions Set the Refrigerator control to the next warmer level; wait 24 hours for the new setting to take full effect before making another adjustment. Set the Freezer control to the next warmer level; wait 24 hours for the new setting to take full effect before making another adjustment. ICEMAKER OPERATION WARNING PERSONAL INJURY HAZARD Avoid contact with the moving parts of the ejector mechanism, or with the heating element that releases the cubes. DO NOT place fingers or hands on the automatic icemaking mechanism while the refrigerator is plugged in. A newly-installed refrigerator may take 12 to 24 hours to begin making ice. The icemaker will produce 8 cubes per cycle, approximately 100-120 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 feeler arm. When the bin fills to the level of the feeler 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. 16
