IMPORTANT:

■ Your product will not cool when the Power Control is set to

OFF.

■ The Refrigerator Control adjusts the refrigerator compartment

temperature. The Freezer Control adjusts the freezer

compartment temperature. Press the UP ARROW to make

the temperature warmer. Press the DOWN ARROW to make

the temperature colder.

■ Wait 24 hours before you put food into the refrigerator. If you

add food before the refrigerator has cooled completely, your

food may spoil.

NOTE: Adjusting the Refrigerator and Freezer Controls to a

higher (colder) setting will not cool the compartments any

faster.

■ The preset settings 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 before adjusting the controls.

Adjusting Controls

If you need to adjust temperatures, adjust the refrigerator

temperature first. Wait 24 hours between adjustments and then

recheck the temperatures.

Water and Ice Dispensers

(on some models)

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 accidental dispensing.

The ice dispenser

Ice dispenses from the ice maker storage bin in the freezer. When

the dispenser lever is pressed:

■ A trap door opens in a chute between the dispenser and the

ice bin. Ice moves from the bin and falls through the chute.

■ When you release the dispenser lever, the trap door closes

and the ice dispensing stops. The dispensing system will not

operate when the freezer door is open.

Some models dispense both cubed and crushed ice. Before

dispensing ice, select which type of ice you prefer. The button

controls are designed for easy use and cleaning.

■ For cubed ice, press the CUBE button until the red indicator

appears in the window above the CUBE button.

■ For crushed ice, press the CRUSH button until the red

indicator appears in the window above the CRUSH button.

For crushed ice, cubes are crushed before being dispensed. This

may cause a slight delay when dispensing crushed ice. Noise

from the ice crusher is normal, and pieces of ice may vary in size.

When changing from CRUSH to CUBE, a few ounces of crushed

ice will be dispensed along with the first cubes.

To dispense ice:

1. Press button for the desired type of ice.

2. Press a sturdy glass against the ice dispenser lever. Hold the

glass close to the dispenser opening so ice does not fall

outside of the glass.

IMPORTANT: You do not need to apply a lot of pressure to

the lever in order to activate the ice dispenser. Pressing hard

will not make the ice dispense faster or in greater quantities.
