Adjusting Control Settings
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.
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.
■
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.
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.
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.
3.
Remove the glass to stop dispensing.
NOTE:
The first few batches of ice may have an off-flavor from
new plumbing and parts. Throw the ice away. Also, take large
amounts of ice from the ice bin, not through the dispenser.
