Using the Controls
Your model may have either Electronic or Digital Controls.
IMPORTANT:
■ 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.
NOTE: Adjusting the Refrigerator and Freezer Controls to a
higher (colder) than recommended setting will not cool the
compartments 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.
Electronic Controls
For your convenience, the temperature controls are preset at the
factory. When you first install your refrigerator, make sure the
controls are still set to the recommended setting as shown.
Style 1
Recommended Setting “4”
Style 2
Recommended Setting “4”
To Turn Off/On:
Style 1–Press the freezer minus sign touch pad until a
dash (-) appears in both the refrigerator and freezer displays.
Neither compartment will cool.
Style 2–Press the freezer down arrow touch pad until a
dash (-) appears in both the refrigerator and freezer displays.
Neither compartment will cool.
Humidity Control (on some models)
The humidity control turns on a heater to help reduce moisture on
the door hinge seal. Use in humid environments or when you
notice moisture on the door hinge seal. The refrigerator uses more
energy when Humidity Control is on.
■ Press the control to ON when the environment is warm and
more humid, or if you notice moisture on the door hinge seal.
■ Press the control to OFF to save energy when the environment
is less humid.

If you need to adjust the temperature in either the refrigerator or
freezer compartment, use the settings listed in the chart below as
a guide.
To adjust the temperature:
Style 1–Press the up or down arrow touch pads
Style 2–Press the plus or minus sign touch pads.
Except when first turning on the refrigerator, do not adjust the
control more than one setting at a time. Wait 24 hours between
adjustments for the temperature to stabilize.
Digital 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 Initial settings as shown.
