■ 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 the TEMP SETTING button 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 the TEMP SETTING button 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 the TEMP SETTING button 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 the TEMP SETTING button 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 the TEMP SETTING button on

the control panel once. As you press the TEMP SETTING button, 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 the TEMP SETTING button on the control panel once.

Door Ajar Alarm (on some models)

The Door Ajar alarm lets you know when the refrigerator door has been

open for 5 minutes or longer and the cooling is turned on. This alarm

feature will sound an alert tone that will repeat every 2 minutes. Close

the door to turn off the tone. The feature is reset and will reactivate

when the door is again left open for 5 minutes.

NOTE: To mute the alert tone while keeping the door open, such as

while cleaning the inside of the refrigerator, press TEMP SETTING

button on the control panel. The alert tone will be temporarily turned off.

Key Eject Lock (on some models)

To lock or unlock the refrigerator, you must hold the key in the lock while

turning. The lock is spring loaded, so the key cannot be left in the lock.

If the key is lost, contact your dealer for a replacement. Always give the

model and serial number of your refrigerator when requesting a

replacement key.

NOTE: Keep the key out of the reach of children. Do not keep the key

close to the refrigerator.

Refrigerator Features

Refrigerator Shelves

Store similar foods together and adjust the shelves to fit different

heights. This reduces the time the refrigerator door is open and saves

energy.

To Remove and Replace a Shelf:

1. Remove the shelf by lifting straight up, and pulling the shelf out.

2. Replace the shelf by lowering the shelf onto the supports on the

side wall.

Important information to know about glass shelves

and covers:

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.
