IMPORTANT
Turning the refrigerator/freezer 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,
move control(s) to Normal. This is the
recommended initial setting. After 24 hours,
adjust the controls as needed.
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 not turned off and the water
supply is not connected, the water valve
will make a loud chattering noise.

Temperature Adjustment
• Adjust temperature gradually: move the
knob in small increments, allowing the
temperature to stabilize.
Turning the refrigerator/freezer control will
change temperatures in both compartments. The
auxiliary freezer control 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.
CONTROLS ICE SERVICE
If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker,
no ice will be produced during the first 24 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.
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
Automatic ice makers are also optional
accessories that may be installed in most
models at any time. Call your local dealer for
information.
Cool Down Period
To ensure safe food storage, allow the
refrigerator to operate with the doors closed
for at least 8 to 12 hours before loading it with
food.
