Ensuring Proper Air Circulation

In order to ensure proper temperature, you need to permit proper

airﬂow in the refrigerator. As shown in the illustration, cool air

enters from the refrigerator wall and moves down. The air then

recirculates through the vent near the bottom.

Do not block any of these vents with food packages. If the

vents are blocked, airﬂow will be restricted and temperature

and moisture problems may occur.

IMPORTANT: To avoid odor transfer and drying out of food,

wrap, or cover foods tightly.

Using the Control

The temperature control is located at the top front of the

refrigerator compartment.

Temperature Control

For your convenience, the temperature control is preset at the

factory. When you ﬁrst install your refrigerator, check that the

control is still set to the recommended setting as shown.

IMPORTANT:

■ The recommended setting is designed to maintain the

temperature at or near 37°F (3°C) under normal operating

conditions.

■ 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 temperature set point to a colder-than

recommended setting will not cool the refrigerator any faster.

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

ﬁrst check the air vents to be sure they are not blocked

before adjusting the control.

■ The preset temperature setting should be correct for normal

household usage. The control is set correctly when milk or

juice is as cold as you like.

■ When the refrigerator is ﬁrst started, the compressor will run

constantly until the refrigerator is cooled. It may take up to 6

or 8 hours (or longer), depending on room temperature and

number of times the refrigerator door is opened. After the

refrigerator is cooled, the compressor will turn on and off as

needed to keep the refrigerator at the proper temperature.

■ The outside of your refrigerator may feel warm. This is normal.

The refrigerator’s design and main function is to remove heat

from packages and air space inside the refrigerator. The heat

is transferred to the room air, making the outside of the

refrigerator feel warm.

Adjusting Control

If you need to adjust the temperature in the refrigerator

compartment, press TEMP SETTING to display the desired

temperature setting from the snowﬂake on the left (least cold) to

the snowﬂake on the right (coldest).

NOTE: Except when starting the refrigerator, do not adjust the

control more than one setting at a time. Wait 24 hours between

adjustments for the temperature to stabilize.

Cooling On/Off

Your refrigerator will not cool when cooling is turned off.

To turn cooling off, press and hold TEMP SETTING for 3 seconds.

In the Off condition, none of the lights on the control panel will be

illuminated. The main refrigerator light bulb will still operate.

To turn cooling on, press and hold TEMP SETTING for 3 seconds.

When cooling is ON, the control panel lights will be illuminated.

Fast Cool

Use this feature to assist with periods of high refrigerator use,

full grocery loads or temporarily warm room temperature.

To activate Fast Cool, press TEMP SETTING until all the

snowﬂake positions are illuminated simultaneously.

The refrigerator will remain in the Fast Cool setting for 24 hours

after the extra-low temperature is reached. Once the time has

expired, the refrigerator will return to the previous temperature

setting. Fast Cool may be manually turned off by pressing the

TEMP SETTING button to select the desired temperature setting

from the snowﬂake on the left (least cold) to the snowﬂake on

the right (coldest).

Over-Temperature Alert (on some models)

The Over Temperature Alert lets you know if the refrigerator

temperature has risen to 54°F (12°C) or higher. This alert feature

will sound a continuous alert tone and repeatedly ﬂash a red light

on the control panel.

The tone can be turned off by pressing TEMP SETTING on the

control panel once. As you press TEMP SETTING, the red light

will then also change from ﬂashing to continuously illuminated.

The red light will remain illuminated until the refrigerator

temperature falls below 54°F (12°C).

NOTE: If the red light on the control panel is repeatedly

ﬂashing, but the alert tone is not sounding, this means that an

over temperature condition has occurred but the refrigerator

temperature has since returned to below 54°F (12°C). To turn

off the red light indicator for this condition, press TEMP SETTING

on the control panel once.

Recommended setting is the center snowﬂake.
