Exterior Dispenser Models
The control panel is located above the exterior dispenser.
IMPORTANT: The display screen on the dispenser control panel
will turn off automatically and enter "sleep" mode when the
control buttons and dispenser levers 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. After reactivation, changes to any settings
can then be made. If no changes are made within 2 minutes, the
display will re-enter "sleep" mode.
Touch any control button on the dispenser panel to activate
the display screen.
Adjusting the Controls
For your convenience, the temperature control is preset at the
factory. When you first install your refrigerator, make sure that the
control is still set to the recommended temperature setting
(3 snowflakes), as shown.
If you need to adjust the temperature in either the refrigerator or
freezer compartment, use the settings listed in the following chart
as a guide.
Wait at least 24 hours between adjustments. Recheck the
temperatures before other adjustments are made. The single
