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.
Adjust the Airflow Control
If you want to temporarily increase the cold air flow to a specific
compartment, adjust the control.
■ Max - Increase airflow to the freezer
■ Min - Increase 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 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.
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.
