Operating Your Refrigerator
Setting the Temperature Control:
Your unit has only one control for regulating the temperature in the refrigerator
compartment. The temperature control is located on the upper right-hand side
of the compartment.
When turning the unit on for the first time, set the control to its coldest setting,
6
.
The range of the temperature control is from the
Off
position to
6
. After 24 to
48 hours, adjust the temperature control to the setting that best suits your
needs. The setting
3
should be appropriate for most uses.
To turn the appliance off, turn the temperature control to
Off
.
NOTES:
1. Turning the temperature control to
Off
stops the cooling cycle but does not
shut off the power to the unit.
2. If the unit is unplugged, has lost power, or is turned off, you must wait 3 to 5
minutes before restarting the unit. If you attempt to restart before this time
delay, the unit will not start.
Using Your Ice Cube Tray:
The recommended thermostat setting for ice making is position
6
.
Fill the ice cube tray two-thirds full of cold water or with any liquid suitable for
freezing and place the tray on the floor of the ice compartment to freeze
properly. Be sure to dry the bottom of the tray, or it may stick to the floor of the
ice compartment.
The best way to get ice cubes out of the tray is to hold the tray under cold tap
water for a second, then gently twist the tray over an ice bucket to eject the
cubes.
The Ice Compartment:
This compartment is designed for production of ice cubes and for short-term
storage (3-4 days at most) of commercially frozen items.
The temperature in the compartment does not get cold enough to freeze items
safely for long periods of time and works best when the items are already
frozen.
By design, this compartment is not a true freezer and may not freeze some
items.
A colder setting may be used for these items, but other items in the refrigerator
may also be affected.
The ice compartment door is susceptible to breaking due to excessive ice
buildup. This part is not covered under your warranty. Be sure to defrost when
the ice reaches a thickness of 1/4 inch.
