Using The Controls; Water And Ice Dispensers - Sears Kenmore 106.5004 Serie Manual De Uso Y Cuidado

USING THE CONTROLS

For your convenience, your refrigerator controls are preset at the
factory. When your first install your refrigerator, make sure that the
controls are still preset. The Refrigerator Control and the Freezer
Control should both be set to the "mid-settings".
REFRIGERATOR
IMPORTANT:
The Refrigerator Control adjusts the refrigerator compartment
■
temperature. Every click on Temp Setting button makes
refrigerator compartment more colder, once you get the last
level the system will back to the initial level.
The Freezer Control adjusts the freezer compartment
■
temperature. Settings to the front of the mid-setting make the
temperature less cold. Settings to the back of the mid-setting
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) than recommended setting will not cool the comparments
any faster.
Adjusting the Controls
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 useage. The controls
are set correctly when milk or juice is as cold as you like and when
ice cream is firm.
FREEZER
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. Recheck the temperatures before
other adjustments are made.
Condition/Reason:
Refrigerator too warm
Freezer too warm/
too little ice
Refrigerator too cold
Freezer too cold

WATER AND ICE DISPENSERS

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 unintentional dispensing.
NOTES:
The dispensing system will not operate when either door
■
(refrigerator or freezer) is open.
Allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to cool down and
■
chill water.
Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the
■
first three batches of ice produced. Wait 72 hours for full ice
production. Also, take large amounts of ice from the ice bin, not
through the dispenser.
Flush the Water System
Air in the water dispensing system can cause the water dispenser
to drip. After connecting the refrigerator to a water source or
replacing the water filter, flush the water system. Flushing the
water dispensing system forces air from the water line and filter,
and prepares the water filter for use.
NOTE: As air is cleared from the system, water may spurt out of
the dispenser.
1. Using a sturdy container, depress and hold the water dispenser
lever for 5 seconds, and then release it for 5 seconds.
2. Repeat Step 1 until water begins to flow.
3. Once water begins to flow, continue depressing and releasing
the dispenser lever (5 seconds on, 5 seconds off) until a total of
3 gal. (12 L) has been dispensed.
Additional flushing may be required in some households.
The Water Dispenser
IMPORTANT:
Dispense at least 1 qt (1 L) of water every week to maintain a
■
fresh supply.
If the flow of water from the dispenser decreases, it could be
■
caused by low water pressure.
With the water filter removed, dispense 1 cup (237 mL) of
■
water. If 1 cup (237 mL) of water is dispensed in 8 seconds
or less, the water pressure to the refrigerator meets the
minimum requirement.
If it takes longer than 8 seconds to dispense 1 cup (237 mL)
■
of water, the water pressure to the refrigerator is lower than
recommended. See the "Water Supply Requirements" or
"Troubleshooting" sections for suggestions.
