REFRIGERATOR USE

Using the Controls
Your refrigerator may have either dial or electronic controls. Follow
the instructions specific to your model.
IMPORTANT:
Wait 24 hours for your refrigerator to cool completely before
adding food. If you add food before the refrigerator has cooled
completely, your food may spoil.
NOTE: Adjusting the Refrigerator and Freezer Controls to a
colder than recommended setting will not cool the
compartments any faster.
The recommended settings should be correct for normal
household refrigerator use. The controls are set correctly
when milk or juice is as cold as you like and when ice cream is
firm.
If the temperature is too warm or too cold in the refrigerator or
freezer, before adjusting the controls, first make sure the air
vents are not blocked.
Dial Control
(on some models)
For your convenience, the controls are preset at the factory. When
you first install your refrigerator, make sure that the controls are
still preset to the recommended setting as shown.

Electronic Control Panel
(on some models)
Your refrigerator features an easy to use electronic control panel
located on the front of the freezer compartment door.
To conserve power, the display screen will dim and remain
unlit until you press a button. Once you touch any button, the
display screen lights up to enable you to select the desired
control feature.
The electronic control panel displays the internal temperature
of each compartment.
For your convenience, your refrigerator controls are preset at
the factory. When you first install your refrigerator, make sure
that the controls are still preset to the recommended setting
as shown.
By default, temperatures are displayed in Celsius. To switch to
Fahrenheit, press and hold the Temperature button for
3 seconds.
Recommended settings
To Turn OFF:
Unplug the refrigerator.
Adjusting Temperature Controls
When you adjust the temperature of one compartment, the
control will automatically act to balance the temperature of the
other compartment to attain an energy and performance
balance.
Except when first turning on the refrigerator, do not adjust
either the refrigerator or freezer compartment temperature
more than one setting at a time. Wait 24 hours between
adjustments for the temperature to stabilize.
To Adjust Set Point Temperatures:
1. Press the Temperature button. Both sections of the display
screen will start to blink. If they do not, press the Temperature
button again.
2. Press the Adjust button until the desired temperatures appear.
3. Press the Temperature button again to set the temperature, or
wait 15 seconds and the new settings will be saved. The
display screen will stop blinking.
