Turn the control to the right (clockwise) to make the compartment

colder or to the left (counterclockwise) to make it less cold.

Style 2

1. Push control button on the side of the control box and

release it.

2. The control will pop out. Turn the control to the desired

setting.

3. Push the control in to lock it into place.

NOTE: Adjusting the Refrigerator and Freezer Controls to a higher

(colder) than recommended setting will not cool the

compartments any faster.

Adjusting Controls

Give the refrigerator time to cool down completely before adding

food. It is best to wait 24 hours before you put food into the

refrigerator. The settings indicated in the previous section should

be correct for normal household refrigerator usage. The controls

are set correctly when milk or juice is as cold as you like and when

ice cream is firm.

If you need to adjust temperatures in the refrigerator or freezer,

use the settings listed in the chart below as a guide. Wait at least

24 hours between adjustments.

CONDITION/REASON: ADJUSTMENT:

REFRIGERATOR too warm REFRIGERATOR Control

one setting higher

FREEZER too warm/ FREEZER Control

too little ice one setting higher

REFRIGERATOR too cold REFRIGERATOR Control

one setting lower

FREEZER too cold FREEZER Control

one setting lower

The control can be adjusted to properly chill meats or vegetables.

The air inside the pan is cooled to prevent "spot" freezing and can

be set to keep meats at the National Livestock and Meat Board

recommended storage temperatures of 28° to 32°F (-2 ° to 0°C).

The convertible vegetable/meat drawer control comes preset at

the lowest meat setting.

To store meat:

Set the control to one of the three MEAT settings to store meat at

its optimal storage temperature.

To store vegetables:

Set the control to VEG to store vegetables at their optimal storage

temperatures.

NOTE: If food starts to freeze, move the control to the left (less

cold). Remember to wait 24 hours between adjustments.

You can control the amount of humidity in the moisture-sealed

crisper. Adjust the control to any setting between LOW and HIGH.

LOW (open) for best storage of fruits and vegetables with skins.

HIGH (closed) for best storage of fresh, leafy vegetables.

Cool air from the freezer is directed to the refrigerator door bin

directly beneath the vents.

NOTE: The dairy compartment and can rack are not associated

with the Chilled Door Bin feature.

Chilled Door Bin Control

The chilled door bin control is located on the left-hand side of the

refrigerator compartment.

A. Chilled door bin control

Turn the control clockwise (right) to reduce the flow of cold air

to the bin and make it less cold.

Turn the control counterclockwise (left) to increase the flow of

cold air to the bin and make it colder.

Depending on your model, you may have one or more of the

following options: the ability to select either crushed or cubed ice,

a special light that turns on when you use the dispenser, or a lock

option to avoid unintentional dispensing.

NOTES:

• The dispensing system will not operate when the freezer door

is open.

• After connecting the refrigerator to a water source, flush the

water system by dispensing water into a sturdy container until

you draw and discard 1.5 gal. (5.4 L) of water, or for

approximately 3 minutes after the water begins dispensing.

The flushing process cleans the water system and clears air

from the lines. As the air is cleared from the lines, water may

spurt out of the dispenser.

• Allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to cool down and chill

water.

• Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the

first three batches of ice produced.

The Water Dispenser

IMPORTANT: Dispense enough water every week to maintain a

fresh supply.

To Dispense Water:

1. Press a sturdy glass against the water dispenser lever.

2. Remove the glass to stop dispensing.
