Using the Controls

IMPORTANT:
The refrigerator control adjusts the refrigerator compartment
temperature. The freezer control adjusts the freezer
compartment temperature.
Wait 24 hours after you turn on the refrigerator before you put
food into it. If you add food before the refrigerator has cooled
completely, your food may spoil.
NOTE: Adjusting the refrigerator and freezer controls to a
lower (colder) 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.
The actual temperature may differ from the display when a
door is open for an extended period of time.
NOTE: The factory recommended set points are 0°F (-18°C) for
the freezer and 37°F (3°C) for the refrigerator.
Turning Refrigerator On and Viewing Set Points
Press the Cooling (ON/OFF) touch pad.
NOTE:
After the refrigerator is turned on, the Over Temperature audio
alarm and indicator light may activate every 1¹⁄₂ hours until the
refrigerator and freezer temperatures are below 48°F (9°C) and
15°F (-9°C), respectively, or until the alarm is turned off. To
turn off the audio alarm and indicator light, see "Master Alarm
Reset."
The ON/OFF touch pad on the control panel shuts down
refrigerator functions such as cooling, lighting, fans and
compressors. To turn the power off completely, use the power
ON/OFF switch located behind the top grille. See "Power On/
Off Switch."
