Adjusting the Temperature Control
If you need to adjust the temperature on either the refrigerator or
freezer compartment, use the settings listed in the chart below as
a guide.
NOTE: Except when starting the refrigerator, do not adjust the
control more than one setting at a time. Wait 24 hours between
adjustments for the temperature to stabilize.
■ Press the Temp button to toggle among the four LED lights
which indicate the temperature setting. Reading from left to
right, the LED in the first position is the least cold. The LEDs
indicate increasingly colder settings as you continue to the
right until all four LEDs are illuminated.
NOTE: For the first to fourth setting, only one LED of the four
LEDs will be lit. All four LEDs will be lit when you have reached
the coldest setting.
Additional Feature
PowerCold™ Feature
The PowerCold™ feature sets the freezer and refrigerator to
the lowest temperature settings to assist with periods of high
refrigerator use, full grocery loads, or temporarily warm room
temperatures.
■ To turn on the PowerCold™ feature, press TEMP SETTING
continually until all the LED lights are blinking on/off
progressively from left to right. Press TEMP SETTING again
to return to the COLD set point.
NOTE: Depending on the environment conditions, the
PowerCold™ feature will remain activated for up to 24 hours.
When the feature turns off, the temperature will return to the
recommended set point.
Airflow Control
The Airflow control regulates the amount of air flowing between
the freezer and the refrigerator compartments.
When you plug in the refrigerator for the first time, turn the Airflow
control to the Recommended setting.
Adjusting the Airflow Control
If you want to temporarily increase the cold airflow to a specific
compartment, adjust the control.
■ Max - Increases airflow to the freezer.
■ Min - Increases airflow to the refrigerator.
IMPORTANT: Once the performance is achieved, return the
Airflow control to the Recommended setting to keep the
refrigerator operating at optimum efficiency.
Ice Maker
(on some models)
Turning the Ice Maker On/Off
NOTE: Do not force the wire shut-off arm up or down.
■ To turn on the ice maker, simply lower the wire shut-off 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 shut-off arm to the Off (arm up)
position.
■ To manually turn off the ice maker, lift the wire shut-off arm to
the Off (arm up) position and listen for the click to make sure
the ice maker will not continue to operate.
NOTE: Turn off the ice maker before removing the ice storage bin
to serve ice or to clean the bin. This will keep the ice cubes from
dropping out of the ice maker and into the freezer compartment.
After replacing the ice storage bin, turn on the ice maker.
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. Allow 3 days
to completely fill the ice storage bin. 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.
