Temperature 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."
To view set points, press the TEMP button on the dispenser
panel. The factory recommended set points are 0°F (-18°C) for
the freezer and 38°F (3°C) for the refrigerator.
IMPORTANT:
Adjusting the Controls
To adjust the set points, press the TEMP button on the dispenser
panel. Set points and adjusting information will appear on the
display screen.
Refrigerator Controls
Make sure REFRIGERATOR is selected. The up and down arrows
on the display screen allow you to adjust the refrigerator
compartment temperature. The set point range for the
refrigerator is 33°F to 45°F (0°C to 7°C).
To change the display screen text from French to English,
press the HOME button on the dispenser panel. On the
display screen, press OPTIONS, then PRÉFÉRENCES, then
LANGUE. Select ANGLAIS, wait 15 seconds or press
RETOUR, and the screen text will be changed.
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 higher (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.
The display screen on the dispenser control panel has a
backlight, which will turn off automatically when the controls
have not been used for 2 minutes or more. When the
backlight is off, the first press of a control button or the
display screen will only reactivate the backlight, without
changing any settings. Within 2 minutes after the backlight
has been reactivated, additional presses of control buttons or
the display screen will change the applicable settings.
Press the down arrow to lower the set point.
Press the up arrow to raise the set point.
NOTE: To view Celsius temperatures, press UNITS. To return
the display setting to Fahrenheit, press UNITS again.
