Kenmore Side by Side Refrigerator Use & Care Manual page 12

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."
To view set points, press the TEMP button on your dispenser
panel. The factory recommended set points are 0°F (-18°C) for
the freezer and 37°F (3°C) for the refrigerator.
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 higher (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.
• The display screen on the dispenser control panel has a
backlight, which will turn off automatically when the control
buttons have not been used for 30 seconds or more. When
the backlight is off, the first press of a control button will only
reactivate the backlight, without changing any settings.
Within 30 seconds after the backlight has been reactivated,
additional presses of control buttons will change the
applicable settings.
Adjusting the Controls
To adjust the set points, press and hold the TEMP button for
3 seconds. When adjust mode is activated, set points and

the freezer control to a lower setting. Setting the freezer to a
colder temperature may make some foods, such as ice cream,
harder.
