NOTE
These instructions do not cover after market ice maker installation. Instructions in after market ice maker kit should be used.
IMPORTANT
Your ice maker is shipped from the factory with the wire signal arm in the ON position.
To ensure proper function for your ice maker. hook up water supply immediately or turn ice maker OFF by lifting the wire signal arm until it clicks and locks in the UP position. If the ice maker is on and the water supply is not connected. the water valve will make a loud chattering noise.
ICE PRODUCTION: WHAT TO EXPECT
The ice maker will produce 2.5 to 3 pounds of ice every 24 hours depending on usage conditions. Ice is produced at a rate of 8 cubes every 80 to 160 minutes.
CAUTION
Do Not place the ice container in your dishwasher.
If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker. hours of operation. Air in new plumbing lines may cause the ice maker to cycle two or three times before making a full tray of ice. With no usage. it will take approximately one to two days to fill the ice container.
New plumbing connections may cause the first production of ice cubes to be discolored or have an odd flavor. Discard ice made during the first 24 hours. NOTE
Automatic ice makers are also optional accessories that may be installed in most models at any time. Call your local dealer for information.
Turning your Ice Maker On
After the plumbing connections have been completed. the water supply valve must be opened. Place the ice container under the ice maker. pushing it as far back as possible.
Lower the wire signal arm to its “down” or ON position.
Turning your Ice Maker Off
To stop the ice maker. lift the wire signal arm until it clicks and locks in the “up” or OFF position. The ice maker also turns off automatically when the ice container is full.

NOTE
When first turning refrigerator on. adjust the refrigerator control to Normal. This is the recommended initial setting. After 24 hours. adjust the controls as needed.
Auxiliary Freezer Control
Cool Down Period
To ensure safe food storage. allow the refrigerator to operate with the doors closed for at least 8 hours before loading it with food.
Refrigerator & Freezer Controls (some models)
NOTE
Your refrigerator is designed to prevent food stored in the freezer from melting when installed in areas below 55° F such as a garage; however. this low temperature environment can cause less than optimal temperature control in the refrigerator section.
NOTE
Sustained exposure to ambient temperatures below 39° F will likely result in freezing of food and beverages stored in the refrigeration section.
NOTE
If your unit is in a garage or area where the temperature is below 55° F. adjust the freezer control to the coldest setting to improve performance.
IMPORTANT
Adjusting the refrigerator temperature control to “0” turns off the compressor and prevents the refrigerator from cooling. but does not disconnect the power to the light bulb and other electrical components. To turn off power to your refrigerator. you must unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
NOTE
When first turning refrigerator on. adjust control to recommended. After 24 hours. adjust the controls as needed.
NOTE
It may take up to 15 minutes for normal power interruption.
Refrigerator Control (some models)
Allow 24 hrs for adjustments
Temperature Adjustment (Mechanical Control)
• Adjust temperature gradually: adjust the
• For colder temperatures. adjust the knob
• For warmer temperatures. adjust the knob
Adjusting the refrigerator control will change temperatures in both compartments. The auxiliary freezer control can be left at the factory pre-set (Normal) or adjusted as desired; it has no effect on electrical power to the refrigerator.
To maintain temperatures. a fan circulates air in the refrigerator and freezer compartments.
For good circulation. do not block cold air vents with food items.

This is normal. Glass shelves and covers are heavy. Use both hands when removing them to avoid dropping.
NOTE
Leafy vegetables keep best when stored with the Humidity Control set on High Humidity. or in a drawer without a Humidity Control. This keeps incoming air to a minimum and maintains maximum moisture content. Store non-leafy vegetables and fruits still in their skins at the low humidity setting.
OPTIONAL FEATURES
Crisper Humidity Control (some models)
