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 ow 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.

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.
