REFRIGERATOR USE

Opening and Closing Doors

There are two refrigerator compartment doors. The doors can be

opened and closed either separately or together.

There is a vertically-hinged seal on the left refrigerator door.

■ When the left side door is opened, the hinged seal

automatically folds inward so that it is out of the way.

■ When both doors are closed, the hinged seal automatically

forms a seal between the two doors.

Using the Controls

The refrigerator and freezer controls are located on the dispenser

panel and display screen.

Cooling On/Off

To turn cooling off, press and hold the TEMP button on the

dispenser panel for 3 seconds. Your refrigerator and freezer will

not cool when cooling is off.

Turn turn cooling back on, press and hold the TEMP button for

3 seconds again.

Temperature Controls

For your convenience, your refrigerator and freezer controls are

preset at the factory. When you first install your refrigerator, make

sure that the controls are still set to the “mid-settings.”

To view set points, press the TEMP button on the dispenser panel.

The factory recommended set points are 0°F (-18°C) for the

freezer and 38°F (3°C) for the refrigerator.

IMPORTANT:

■ 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 set points to a higher (colder) than

recommended setting will not cool the compartments any

faster.

■ If the temperature is too warm or too cold in the refrigerator or

freezer, first check the air vents to be sure they are not

blocked before adjusting the controls.

■ The preset settings should be correct for normal household

usage. The controls are set correctly when milk or juice is as

cold as you like and when ice cream is firm.

■ Wait at least 24 hours between adjustments. Recheck the

temperatures before other adjustments are made.

■ The display screen on the dispenser control panel has a

backlight, which will turn off automatically when the controls

have not been used for 2 minutes or more. When the backlight

is off, the first press of a control button or the display screen

will only reactivate the backlight, without changing any

settings. Within 2 minutes after the backlight has been

reactivated, additional presses of control buttons or the

display screen will change the applicable settings.

Adjusting the Controls

To adjust the set points, press the TEMP button on the dispenser

panel. Set points and adjusting information will appear on the

display screen.
