Using the Controls

For your convenience, your refrigerator controls are preset at the 
factory. When you first install your refrigerator, make sure that the 
controls are still preset to the mid-settings as shown. 

NOTE: To turn your refrigerator off, turn the refrigerator control to 
the word OFF or until the word OFF appears. Your product will 
not cool when the refrigerator control is set to OFF.

Mid-setting “3”

Mid-setting “3”

Mid-setting “4”

IMPORTANT:

Give your refrigerator time to cool down completely before 
adding food. It is best to wait 24 hours before you put food 
into the refrigerator.

If you add food before the refrigerator has cooled completely, 
your food may spoil. Adjusting the Refrigerator and Freezer 
Controls to a higher (colder) than recommended setting will 
not cool the compartments any faster.

Adjusting Control Settings

The mid-setting(s) indicated in the previous section should be 
correct for normal household usage. The controls are set 
correctly when milk or juice is as cold as you like and when ice 
cream is firm. 

If the temperature is too warm or too cold in the refrigerator or 
freezer, first check the air vents to be sure they are not blocked.

If you need to adjust temperatures, use the settings listed in the 
chart below as a guide. On models with two controls, adjust the 
refrigerator temperature first. Wait at least 24 hours between 
adjustments and then recheck the temperatures.  

Ice Maker 

(on some models - Accessory)

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.
