To avoid electric shock, which can

disconnect the refrigerator from

CAUTION

To Avoid Property Damage:

• Copper tubing is recommended for the

water supply line. Water supply tubing

made of ¼” plastic is not recommended

since it greatly increases the potential for

water leaks. Manufacturer nor retailer

will be responsible for any damage if

plastic tubing is used for supply line.

• DO NOT install water supply tubing

in areas where temperatures fall

below freezing.

• Chemicals from a malfunctioning

softener can damage the ice maker.

If the ice maker is connected to soft

water, ensure that the softener is

maintained and working properly.

Temperature Adjustment

• Adjust temperature gradually: adjust the

dial in small increments, allowing the

temperature to stabilize.

• For colder temperatures, adjust the dial

towards Coldest.

• For warmer temperatures, adjust the

dial towards Cold.

NOTE

When rst turning refrigerator on,

adjust control to Recommended. This is

the recommended initial setting. After

24 hours, adjust the controls as needed.

IMPORTANT

Adjusting the refrigerator/freezer

temperature control to “o” turns o the

compressor and prevents the refrigerator

from cooling, but does not disconnect

the power to the light bulb and other

electrical components. To turn o power

to your refrigerator, you must unplug the

power cord from the wall outlet.

You may want to set the freezer to be

colder or less cold than results obtained

from the Refrigerator control setting.

Push the freezer control slide up in small

increments toward coldest or down toward

cold. Adjusting the freezer control will also

change the temperature in the refrigerator

compartment. Adjusting toward coldest

will raise and toward cold will lower the

refrigerator compartment temperature.

To maintain temperatures, a fan circulates

air in the refrigerator and freezer

compartments. For good circulation, do

not block cold air vents with food items.

Setting the Temperature Controls

NOTE

If your unit is in a garage or area where

the temperature is below 55°F, adjust

the freezer control to the coldest setting

to improve performance.

IMPORTANT

Adjusting the refrigerator temperature

control to “0” turns o the compressor

and prevents the refrigerator from

cooling, but does not disconnect the

power to the light bulb and other

electrical components. To turn o power

to your refrigerator, you must unplug the

power cord from the wall outlet.

Refrigerator Controls

Do we need to

reduce this

graphic to only

include the

Is this a vent or a

display screen?

Auxiliary Freezer Control

CAUTION

Do not clean glass shelves or covers

with warm water when they are

cold. Shelves and covers may break

if exposed to sudden temperature

changes or impact, such as bumping.

Tempered glass is designed to shatter

into many small, pebble-size pieces.

This is normal. Glass shelves and

covers are heavy. Use both hands when

removing them to avoid dropping.
