To obtain the best possible resuits from your refrigerator, it is important that you operate it

properly. This section tells you how to set the temperature control, remove and adjust some

of the features in your refrigerator, and how to save energy.

Setting the temperature control

The Temperature Control is in the refrigera-

tor. It controls the temperature in both the

refrigerator and freezer compartments.

When you plug in the refrigerator for the first

time:

1. Set the Temperature Control to 3 (nor-

mal). Temperature Control adjustments

range from 1 (warmest) to 5 (coldest).

NOTE: Turning the Temperature Control

to OFF stops cooling in both the refrigera-

tor and freezer compartments, but it does

not disconnect the refrigerator from the

power supply.

2. Give the refrigerator time to cool down

completely before adding food. This could

take several hours.

3. Adjust the Temperature Control to have

food as cold as you like. The settings

indicated above should be correct for

normal, household refrigerator usage.

NOTE: The built-in exterior moisture control

continuously guards against moisture build-

up on the outside of the refrigerator cabinet.

Adjusting the refrigerator shelves

The refrigerator shelves can be adjusted to

match the way you use your refrigerator.

To remove the shelves:

1. Remove items from the shelf.

2. Slide shelf straight out to the stop.

3. Lift back of shelf over stop.

4. Slide shelf out the rest of the way.

To replace the shelves:

1. Slide back of shelf into shelf track in wall

of cabinet.

2. Guide front of shelf into shelf track.

3. Slide shelf in all the way.

Removing the crispers and

cover

To remove the crispers:

1. Slide crispers straight out to the stop.

2. Lift the front.

3. Slide out the rest of the way.

4. Replace in reverse order.

To remove the cover:

1. Lift cover front and remove the cover

support.

Lift cover front,

then the back.

2. Lift cover up and slide out.

To replace the cover:

1. Fit cover tabs into lowest cabinet slots

and push in. Lower the front retainers into

place.

2. Insert cover support (with the long tab

toward the front) into the groove on the

underside of the cover.

NOTE: If the support needs adjustment,

turn base clockwise to raise or counter-

clockwise to lower.

Using the ice cube trays

If you don’t use the cubes, they may shrink.

The moving cold air starts a slow evapora-

tion. The longer you store cubes, the smaller

they get.

To remove ice:

1. Hold tray at both ends.

2. Twist slightly.

Using the optional automatic ice maker

If you have an automatic ice maker, or if you

plan to add one later, there are a few things

you will want to know:

. The aluminum water inlet tube, supplied

with your refrigerator, is in the rear bottom

of the refrigerator, on the compressor

support plate. Use this tube instead of the

tube provided in the accessory kit.

l The ON/OFF lever is a wire signal arm.

DOWN to make ice automatically

UP to shut off the ice maker

IMPORTANT: Do not turn ice maker on

until it is connected to the water supply.

Instructions for Ice maker water supply

hook up are attached to the back of the

refrigerator cabinet.

. The dial or lever on the side of the ice

maker changes the size of the cubes.

l Good water quality is important for good

ice quality. Try to avoid connecting the ice

maker to a softened water supply. Water

softener chemicals, such as salt from a

malfunctioning softener, can damage the

ice maker mold and lead to poor ice

quality. If a softened water supply cannot

be avoided, make sure that the water

softener is well maintained and operating

properly.

made fast enough . Freezer is not cold enough. Adjust temperature control and

wait 24 hours.

Off-taste or odor in ice l New plumbing connections can cause discolored or off-

flavored ice. Discard the first few batches of ice.

l Cubes are stored too long. Throw them away and make a

new supply.

l Foods in freezer are not wrapped properly. See “Food

Storage Guide” on pages 16 and 17.

l Freezer and ice bin need to be cleaned. See pages 12

and 13.

Ctianging the light bulb

Electrical Shock Hazard

Before removing a light bulb, either

unplug the refrigerator or disconnect

the electricity leading to the refrigera-

tor at the main power supply. Turning

the Temperature Control to the OFF

position does not disconnect the

refrigerator from the power supply.

Failure to do so could result in electri-

cal shock or personal injury.

To change the refrigerator light:

1. Disconnect refrigerator from power

supply.

2. Reach behind the Control Panel to

remove bulb.

3. Replace with a 40-watt appliance bulb.

4. Reconnect refrigerator to power supply.

NOTE: Not all commercial appliance bulbs

will fit your refrigerator. Be sure to replace a

bulb with one of the same size, wattage and

shape.
