Temperature Controls

For your convenience, your temperature controls are preset at

the factory. When you first install your refrigerator, make sure the

controls are still set to the recommended set points.

Press the touch pad next to “FRESH FOOD TEMP” on the

„

main menu to display the current set point of the compartment.

Press the touch pad next to “WARMER” or “COLDER” to

adjust the set point to the recommended 38°F. Press the touch

pad next to “Done” to lock in the setting.
Press the touch pad next to “FREEZER TEMP” on the main

„

menu to display the current set point of the compartment.

Press the touch pad next to “WARMER” or “COLDER” to

adjust the set point to the recommended 0°F. Press the touch

pad next to “Done” to lock in the setting.

To Adjust Set Point Temperatures:
If you need to adjust the temperature in either the refrigerator

or freezer compartment, use the settings listed in the chart as

a guide. The display will show the set point for approximately 3

seconds.

Press the touch pad next to “WARMER” or “COLDER” to

„

adjust the set point to the desired temperature. Then, press

the touch pad next to “Done” to lock in the new set point

temperature.
NOTE: Except when first turning on the refrigerator, do not

Setting the Controls

The control panel is located on the front of the ice and water

dispenser.
To access the main control menu, press any of the four touch

pads located on either side of the display. Then, touch the pad

next to the desired option or user setting to access the various

features.
IMPORTANT:

Press only the touch pads next to your selection on the display

„

screen, not the selection itself.
Wait 24 hours for your refrigerator to cool completely before

„

adding food. If you add food before the refrigerator has cooled

completely, your food may spoil.
Adjusting the refrigerator and freezer temperature controls to

„

a colder than recommended setting will not cool the compart-

ments any faster.
The recommended settings should be correct for normal

„

household refrigerator use. The controls are set correctly when

milk or juice is as cold as you like and when ice cream is firm.
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.

Turning Cooling On or Off

COOLING OFF controls all cooling functions, the control panel

and the dispenser. It does not disconnect power to the refrig-

erator.

Press and hold the

„

COOLING OFF touch pad

for three seconds. The LED will light up to

indicate that cooling is off. Neither compartment

will cool.
Press the

„

COOLING OFF touch pad again to

turn on the cooling. The LED will turn off.

NOTE: At times, the front of the refrigerator cabinet

may be warm to the touch. This condition is normal

and helps prevent moisture from condensing on the cabinet. This

condition will be more noticeable when the refrigerator is first

started, during hot weather and after excessive or lengthy door

openings.
