OPERATING YOUR REFRIGERATOR

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.
Important information to know about disposal of
refrigerants:
Dispose of refrigerator in accordance with Federal and Local
regulations. Refrigerants must be evacuated by a licensed,
EPA certified refrigerant technician in accordance with
established procedures.
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 TEMP button for
3 seconds. When adjust mode is activated, adjusting information will
appear on the display screen.
NOTE: To view Celsius temperatures, press the OPTIONS button when
adjust mode is activated. To return the display setting to Fahrenheit,
press OPTIONS again.
When adjust mode is activated, the display screen shows the
refrigerator set point and "FRIDGE" appears.
Press the DISPENSE TYPE arrows to raise or lower the set point.
When you have finished viewing (and adjusting if desired) the
refrigerator set point, press TEMP to change the display to show
the freezer set point. When the zone has been changed,
"FREEZER" appears on the display screen.
Press the DISPENSE TYPE arrows to raise or lower the set point.
When you have finished viewing (and adjusting if desired) both the
refrigerator and freezer set points, press LIGHT to save the
settings.
NOTE: To exit without saving changes, allow about 60 seconds of
inactivity and adjust mode will turn off automatically.
