Adjusting the Temperature Control

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.

■ 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 assists with periods of high refrigerator

use, full grocery loads or temporarily warm room temperatures.

■ Press the POWERCOLD button to set the freezer and

refrigerator to the lowest temperature settings. Press the

POWERCOLD button again to return to the selected

temperature set point.

NOTE: The PowerCold icon will be illuminated when

PowerCold is selected. If you try to adjust the temperature

when PowerCold is on, the PowerCold icon will blink three

times and then turn off.

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 - 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

Turning the Ice Maker On/Off

NOTE: Do not force the wire shutoff arm up or down.

■ To turn the ice maker on, 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 the ice maker off, 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 the ice maker off 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.
