Operation
Before starting the refrigerator, follow these
important steps:
•
Insert the power cord into a properly
grounded electrical receptacle. DO NOT
use an extension cord or an adaptor.
•
If your refrigerator is equipped with an
automatic ice maker, see section
“AUTO-
MATIC ICE MAKER”
for starting
procedure.
•
Set the controls at midpoint at start up.
See section
“TEMPERATURE CONTROLS”
if
adjustments are desired.
•
To ensure safe food storage, allow the
refrigerator to operate with doors closed
for at least 8 hours before loading with
food.
•
To maintain temperatures, a fan circulates
air in the refrigerator and freezer compart-
ments. Do not block air vents with food
items.
When taking the refrigerator out of service for
a period of time:
•
Remove all food and ice. Turn the controls
to the “O”
position and disconnect the
service cord.
•
If equipped with an ice maker, raise the
signal arm to its locked position (see Figure
1) and turn off the water supply at its valve.
NOTE:
When placing the refrigerator back into
service, leave ice maker off until water supply is
turned on.

REFRIGERATOR CONTROLS
The refrigerator controls should be set at
midpoint of the dial for a period of 24
hours. After 24 hours, adjust the control if
needed. To obtain a COLDER temperature,
turn the knob clockwise to a higher
number. To obtain a WARMER temperature,
turn the knob counterclockwise to a lower
number. Note that storage temperatures
may be affected by room temperature.
FREEZER CONTROLS
The freezer controls are located inside the
freezer compartment. The freezer should be
set at midpoint for a period of 24 hours.
After 24 hours, adjust the control if
needed.To obtain a COLDER temperature,
turn the knob clockwise to a higher
number. To obtain a WARMER temperature,
turn the knob counterclockwise to a lower
number.
IMPORTANT TIPS
•
Turning the freezer control to “0” will
shut down cooling in BOTH the
refrigerator and the freezer compart-
ments.
•
When first setting the controls or when
changing a setting, wait 24 hours for
the temperature to stabilize before
making more changes.
•
A change in the control setting in the
freezer compartment will affect the
temperature in BOTH the freezer and the
refrigerator compartment.
