ADJUSTING CONTROL SETTINGS
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 mid-settings indicated in the
previous section should be correct for normal household
refrigerator usage. The controls are set correctly when
milk or juice is as cold as you like and when ice cream
is firm.
The refrigerator control functions as the thermostat for the
entire appliance (refrigerator and freezer sections.) The
higher the number setting, the longer the compressor will
run to keep the temperature colder. The freezer control
adjusts the cold air flow from the freezer to the
refrigerator. Setting the freezer control to a lower
temperature keeps more cold air in the Freezer
compartment to make it colder.
If you need to adjust temperatures in the refrigerator or
freezer, start by adjusting the refrigerator first. Wait 24
hours after the refrigerator adjustment to check the
freezer temperature. If it is too warm or too cold, then
adjust the freezer control as well.
Use the settings listed in the chart below as a guide.
Always remember to wait at least 24 hours between
adjustments.

USING YOUR REFRIGERATOR
SETTING THE CONTROLS
• Your refrigerator has a control pad on the dispenser that
lets you regulate the temperature in the freezer and
refrigerator compartments.
• Initially set the REFRIGERATOR CONTROL at 37°F
(3°C) and the FREEZER CONTROL at 0°F (–18°C).
Leave it at this setting for 24 hours (one day) to
stabilize. Then adjust the compartment temperature as
desired.
• Refrigerator Temp Control: 32°F to 47°F (0°C to 8°C)
The lower the number setting, the colder the refrigerator
compartment will become.
• Freezer Temp Control: -6°F to 8°F (-21°C to -13°C)
When the setting is at a lower number, the freezer
compartment becomes colder.
NOTE: If you want to change °F to °C or the reverse,
press and hold FREEZER key and REFRIGERATOR key
simultaneously for 5 seconds or more.
NOTE: If you want to off display, press and hold ICE
PLUS key and FREEZER key over 5 seconds at the
same time.
NOTE: Touch display once to activate, then touch again to
change the settings or activate a function. If 10 seconds
has passed since the display has been touched, it will be
necessary to touch “once” again to reactivate.
This is to prevent accidental display setting changes.
Ice Plus : Press the ICE PLUS button and the LED
will turn on. This function will remain activated for 24
hours and increase the cooling speed of the freezer and
the amount of ice produced.
Dispenser Lock : Press and hold the LOCK button for 3
seconds to lock the dispenser.
When it is locked, the dispenser will not operate. To
unlock, press and hold the LOCK button for 3 seconds.

IMPORTANT: Wipe out moisture before using the
display button as operation of the button is based on
touch sensing method and becomes slow or other
buttons may operate if moisture is stuck to the surface
of the button.
Filter Reset : It displays in months the number of
months left to exchange the filter from the moment
power is connected to the refrigerator. If you have
changed the filter after 6 months of use, press and hold
the FILTER button 3 seconds or more and the filter
display will be initialized with a buzzing sound.
NOTE: The average life of the filter is 6 months.
WARNING: If a door is open, the dispenser does not work.
