Touch Temperature Controls
The controls are located at the top front of the
refrigerator compartment.

Adjusting the Controls
24 hours after adding food, you may decide that one
or both compartments should be colder or warmer. If
so, adjust the control(s) as indicated in the
Temperature Control Guide table below. See page 18
for instructions on checking compartment
temperature.
• Except when starting the refrigerator, do not change
either control more than one number at a time.

Initial Control Settings
After plugging the refrigerator in, set the controls.
• Pressing the @ or @ pads adjusts the controls to
the desired setting.
• The temperature control range for both
compartments is 1 through 7 (coldest).
• Initially set the refrigerator control on 4.
• Initially set the freezer control on 4.
• Let the refrigerator run at least 8 to 12 hours before
adding food.
Warm Cabinet Surfaces
At times, the front of the refrigerator cabinet may be
warm to the touch. This is a normal occurrence that
helps prevent moisture from condensing on the
cabinet. This condition will be more noticeable when
you first start the refrigerator, during hot weather and
after excessive or lengthy door openings.
• Allow 2/4 hours for temperatures to stabilize.
• Changing either control will have some effect on the
temperature of the other compartment.

Moisture Control Switch (select models)
Off - The refrigerator uses more energy when this
switch is off, because a heater located in the hinged
seal section of the door is running. This heater helps
prevent condensation formation on the exterior of the
hinged seal. Turn the switch OFF when the
environment is warm and more humid or if moisture
is noticed on the door exterior.
• On - This setting saves energy by not using the
heater. Turn the switch ON when the environment is
less humid.
