Adjusting the 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.” The factory
recommended set points are 37°F (3°C) for the refrigerator and
0°F (-18°C) for the freezer.
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 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.
To view and adjust the set points, press and hold the TEMP
button for 3 seconds. When adjust mode is activated, adjusting
information will appear on the display screen.
NOTE: To view Celsius temperatures, press the LIGHT button
when adjust mode is activated. To return the display setting to
Fahrenheit, press LIGHT again.
■ When adjust mode is activated, the display screen shows the
refrigerator set point and “FRIDGE” appears.
■ Press LOCK to raise the set point, or press OPTIONS to lower
the set point.
■ When you have finished viewing (and adjusting if desired) the
refrigerator set point, press TEMP to change the display to
show the freezer set point. When the zone has been changed,
“FREEZER” appears on the display screen.
■ Press LOCK to raise the set point, or press OPTIONS to lower
the set point.
■ When you have finished viewing (and adjusting if desired) both
the refrigerator and freezer set points, press MEASURED FILL
to save the settings.
NOTE: To exit without saving changes, press ICE TYPE at any
time while in adjust mode, or allow about 60 seconds of
inactivity and adjust mode will turn off automatically.
When adjusting temperature set points, use the following chart as
a guide.
The set point range for the refrigerator is 33°F to 45°F (0°C to
7°C). The set point range for the freezer is -5°F to 5°F (-21°C to
-15°C).
Cooling On/Off
Your refrigerator and freezer will not cool when cooling is
turned off.
■ To turn cooling off, press and hold the LOCK and MEASURED
FILL buttons at the same time for 3 seconds.
IMPORTANT: To avoid unintentionally locking the dispenser
or changing other settings, be sure to press both buttons at
exactly the same time.
When cooling is off, “COOLING OFF” will appear on the
display screen.
■ Press and hold LOCK and MEASURED FILL for 3 seconds
again to turn cooling back on.
Additional Features
Fast Ice
The Fast Ice feature assists with temporary periods of heavy ice
use by increasing ice production over a 24-hour period.
IMPORTANT: This feature only works if the ice maker is turned
on. See “Ice Maker and Storage Bin.”
■ To turn on the feature, press OPTIONS then TEMP. When the
feature is on, the Fast Ice icon will appear on the dispenser
display screen. The Fast Ice setting will remain on for 24 hours
unless manually turned off.
■ To manually turn off the feature, press OPTIONS then TEMP
again, or adjust the freezer temperature set point. The Fast Ice
icon will disappear when the feature is off.
NOTE: If increased ice production is desired at all times, change
the freezer set point to a lower setting. Setting the freezer to a
colder temperature may make some foods, such as ice cream,
harder.
Door Ajar Alarm
The Door Ajar Alarm feature sounds an alarm when the refrigerator
or freezer door is open for 5 minutes and the product cooling is
turned on. The alarm will repeat every 2 minutes. Close both
doors to turn it off. The feature then resets and will reactivate
when either door is left open again for 5 minutes.
NOTE: To mute the audible alarm while keeping the doors open,
such as while cleaning the inside of the refrigerator, press any
button on the control panel. The alarm sound will be temporarily
turned off, but the Door Ajar icon will still be displayed on the
dispenser control panel.
