Adjusting the Temperature Control (mechanical and
electronic models)
If you need to adjust the temperature in 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.
Move the dial to the desired number of snowflakes from (1 least
cold to 5 coldest).
OR
Press the Temperature Setting button to toggle among the
three 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.
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 (Freezer Temperature
Control)
If you want to temporarily increase the cold airflow to a specific
compartment, adjust the control.
Max - Increase airflow to the freezer (this will make the freezer
colder).
Min - Increase airflow to the refrigerator (this will make the
freezer warmer).
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 shutoff arm up or down.
To turn on the ice maker, simply lower the wire shutoff 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 shutoff arm to the OFF
(arm
up) position.
To manually turn off the ice maker, lift the wire shutoff 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.
