It is important to prepare your refrigerator for use. This section tells you how to clean it,

Cleaning your refrigerator

Removing packaging materials

Remove tape and any inside labels (except

To obtain the best possible results from your refrigerator, it is important that you operate it

properly. This section tells you how to set the temperature control, remove and adjust some

of the features in your refrigerator, and how to save energy.

Setting the temperature control

The Temperature Control is in the refrigera-

tor. It controls the temperature in both the

refrigerator and freezer compartments.

time:

1. Set the Temperature Control to 3 (nor-

mal). Temperature Control adjustments

range from 1 (warmest) to 5 (coldest).

NOTE:

Turning the Temperature Control

to OFF stops cooling in both the refrigera-

tor and freezer compartments, but it does

not disconnect the refrigerator from the

power supply.

2. Give the refrigerator time to cool down

completely before adding food. This could

take several hours.

3. Adjust the Temperature Control to have

food as cold as you like. The settings

indicated above should be correct for

normal, household refrigerator usage.

NOTE:

The built-in exterior moisture control

continuously guards against moisture build-

up on the outside of the refrigerator cabinet.

way you use your refrigerator.

clockwise to lower.

Using the ice cube trays

(ETMJK, ET14HJ AND ET14GK)

If you don’t use the cubes, they may shrink.

The moving cold air starts a slow evapora-

tion. The longer you store cubes, the smaller

they get.

To remove ice:

Hold tray at both ends.

2. Twist slightly.

Using the automatic ice maker

(ODtional on ET14JK. ETl4HJ and ET14GK,

*a&tory-installed on ET14JM)

If you have an automatic ice maker, or if you

plan to add one later (contact dealer for ice

maker kii number), there are a few things

you will want to know:

For ET14JK, ET14HJ and ET14GK:

The

aluminum water inlet tube, supplied with

your refrigerator, is in the rear bottom of

the refrigerator, on the compressor support

plate. Use this tube instead of the tube

provided in the accessory kit.

l The ON/OFF lever is a wire signal arm.

DOWN to make ice automatically

UP to shut off the ice maker

IMPORTANT:

Do not turn ice maker on

until it is connected to the water supply.

Instructions for ice maker water supply

hook up are attached to the back of the

refrigerator cabinet.

l The dial or lever on the side of the ice

maker changes the size of the cubes.

l Good water quality is important for good

ice quality. Try to avoid connecting the ice

maker to a softened water supply. Water

softener chemicals, such as salt from a

malfunctioning softener, can damage the

ice maker mold and lead to poor ice

quality. If a softened water supply cannot

be avoided, make sure that the water

softener is well maintained and operating

properly.
