Dual Evaporator (onsome m odels)
Some models come equipped with a dual sequential evaporation system,
which includes two separate evaporators for the refrigerator and freezer
compartments.
Dual evaporation results in higher humidity, which helps keep foods in the
refrigerator from spoiling as quickly and improves food quality and
freshness in the freezer due to decreased freezer burn. In addition, the dual
evaporation system helps keep food smells in the refrigerator from
transferring to ice in the freezer.
Air circulates through vents within each compartment, and does not
transfer between the compartments.

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.
Do not block any of these vents with food such as soda, cereal, bread, etc.
If the vents are blocked, airflow will be obstructed and temperature and
moisture problems may occur.
NOTE: The dual evaporation system is always activated when your
refrigerator is operating. You do not need to press any buttons to turn it on.
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.
NOTE: To view Celsius temperatures, press the LIGHT button when adjust
mode is activated. To return the display setting to Fahrenheit, press LIGHT
again.
• When adjust mode is activated, the display screen shows the
refrigerator set point and "REFRIGERATOR" appears.
• Press LOCI( to raise the set point, or press ACCELA-ICE to lower the set
point.
When you have finished viewing (and adjusting if desired) the
refrigerator set point, press TEMPERATURE to change the display to
show the freezer set point. When the zone has been changed,
"FREEZER" appears on the display screen.
• Press LOCI( to raise the set point, or press ACCELA-ICE to lower the set
point.
