Adjusting t heControls
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
TEMPERATURE button for 3 seconds. When adjust mode is
activated, adjusting information will appear on the display
screen.
Press SETTINGS to raise the set point, or press
TEMPERATURE to lower the set point.
When you have finished viewing (and adjusting if desired)
the refrigerator set point, press ACCENT LIGHT to change
the display to show the freezer set point. When the zone has
been changed, "FREEZER" appears on the display screen.
Press SETTINGS to raise the set point, or press
TEMPERATURE to lower the set point.
When you have finished viewing (and adjusting if desired)
both the refrigerator and freezer set points, press LOCI< to
save the settings.
NOTE: To exit without saving changes, press WATER/ICE at
any time while in adjust mode, or allow about 60 seconds of
inactivity and adjust mode will turn off automatically.
