IMPORTANT
Turning 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, move refrigerator
and freezer controls 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 control will change temperatures
in both compartments. For example, if the refrigerator
control is turned to a colder setting, the freezer
control may have to be adjusted to a warmer setting.
Turning the freezer control will change only the freezer
temperature.
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
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.
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.
