Temperature Control

Checking Product Temperature

Figure 4

To check the actual product temperature, in refrigerator
section only, insert an accurate thermometer into a plastic
(non-breakable) bottle that is partially filled with water.
Tighten the bottle cap securely (Figure 4).

Place the bottle in the refrigerator area for 24 hours.
Refrain from opening the unit during the testing period.
After 24 hours, check the temperature of the water. If
required, adjust the temperature control in a small
increment (See ADJUSTING TEMPERATURE).

Factors which affect the internal temperatures of the
cabinet include:

• Temperature setting.

• Ambient temperature where installed.

• Number of times and length of time the door is

opened and closed.

• Installation in direct sunlight or near a heat source.

Adjusting Temperature

Figure 5

Adjust the temperature by turning the numbered dial
(Figure 5, 1) in small increments.

Ice Maker

When the ice bucket is full, the ice making mechanism will
shut off. However, the refrigeration system will continue
to cool and maintain the cube supply. Frost-free icemaker
units have lower ice production than manual defrost
units.

IMPORTANT

IMPORTANT

Do not place cans or bottles in the ice compartment
because they will freeze.

Figure 6

Ice production may be interrupted by raising the bin arm
into an upright and locked position (Figure 6). The unit
will maintain temperature for ice storage.

IMPORTANT

IMPORTANT

If you are not intending to use the ice maker and
turn the supply valve off, it is imperative to raise
the bin arm of the ice maker (Figure 6). Failure to
raise the bin arm may result in damage to the water
valve.

Certain sounds are normal during the unit’s operation.
You may hear the compressor or fan motor, the water
valve, or ice dropping into the ice bucket.

WARNING

NEVER use an ice pick, knife or other sharp
instrument to separate cubes. Shake the ice
bucket instead.

During periods of limited usage or high ambient
temperatures, it is common for cubes to fuse together.
Shake the bucket to break apart cubes. If the ice maker is
not used regularly, the ice bucket should be emptied
periodically to ensure fresh cubes.

It is normal for cubes to appear cloudy. This is caused by
air being trapped in the water due to fast freezing. It has
nothing to do with the health, taste or chemical make-up
of the water. It is the same air that is in every glass of
water you drink.
