REFRIGERATOR U SE
There are two refrigerator compartment doors. The doors can be
opened and closed either separately or together.
There is a vertically-hinged seal on the left refrigerator door.
• When the left side door is opened, the hinged seal
automatically folds inward so that it is out of the way.
• When both doors are closed, the hinged seal automatically
forms a seal between the two doors.
NOTE: Adjusting the refrigerator and freezer temperature
controls 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.
To Turn Off/On:
Style 1 Press the freezer down arrow touch pad until a
dash (-) appears in both the refrigerator and freezer displays.
Neither compartment will cool.
Style 2 Turn the freezer control to the word OFE Neither
compartment will cool when the freezer is set to OFE
Humidity Control (on some models)
The humidity control turns on a heater to help reduce moisture on
the door hinge seal. Use in humid environments or when you
notice moisture on the door hinge seal. The refrigerator uses more
energy when Humidity Control is on.
• Press the control to ON when the environment is warm and
more humid, or if you notice moisture on the door hinge seal.
• Press the control to OFF to save energy when the environment
is less humid.

setting between FRUIT and VEGETABLES or LOW and HIGH.
FRUIT / LOW (open) for best storage of fruits and vegetables with
skins.

vegetables.
