Using The Controls - Kenmore 106.5178 Series Use & Care Manual

Using the Controls

The refrigerator and freezer controls are located on the
dispenser panel.
IMPORTANT: The display screen on the dispenser control panel
will turn off automatically and enter "sleep" mode when the
control buttons and dispenser pad have not been used for
2 minutes or more. While in "sleep" mode, the first press of a
control button will only reactivate the display screen, without
changing any settings.
Touch any control button on the dispenser panel to activate
the display screen. The home screen will appear as shown.
Adjusting the 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." 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.
