temperature. The freezer control adjusts the freezer
compartment temperature.
• The displays normally show the actual temperature inside the
refrigerator and freezer. For information on displaying set
point temperatures, see "Viewing Set Points."
• 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 refrigerator and freezer controls to a
lower (colder) setting will not cool the compartments any
faster.

will not cool when the control is set to Off.
NOTE: Pressing the On/Off button does not disconnect
power to the refrigerator. The interior lights will turn off if
either compartment door is open for more than 10 minutes.
Simply close and open the door to turn on the interior lights.
Viewing Set Points
The factory recommended set points (mid-settings) are 0°F
(-18°C) for the freezer and 37°F (3°C) for the refrigerator.
Set point range for the freezer: -6 ° to 6°F (-21 °C to -14°C)
Set point range for the refrigerator: 32 ° to 46°F (0°C to 8°C)
To view the set point temperatures, press either the up or down
arrow for the refrigerator or freezer temperature. The display will
become brighter to indicate that you are viewing the set points.
Five seconds after an adjustment is made, the display lights will
dim and return to the actual temperature.
NOTE: During automatic defrost cycles, the actual temperature
displayed may be higher than the set point. This is normal. The
actual temperatures should return to the set points within a few
hours following completion of the defrost cycle.
Adjusting Controls
The mid-settings indicated in the previous section should be
correct for normal household refrigerator usage. 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, first check the air vents to be sure they are not blocked.
If you need to adjust temperatures, use the settings listed in the
chart below as a guide. Wait at least 24 hours between
adjustments.
