CONTROLS
For Professional Series Controls:
The temperature controls are preset in the factory at
37 F for the refrigerator compartment and 0
o
freezer compartment. Allow 24 hours for the temperature
to stabilize to the preset recommended settings.
The temperature controls can display both the set
temperature as well as the actual temperature in the
refrigerator and freezer. The actual temperature may vary
slightly from the set temperature based on usage and
operating environment.
Setting either or both controls to "OFF" (O) stops cooling
in both the freezer and refrigerator compartments but
does not shut off electrical power to the refrigerator.
Changing the temperature
Opening the door displays the actual temperature. To
change the temperature, press either the ∨ or ∧ touch
pads until the desired temperature is displayed.
Once the desired temperature has been set, the
temperature display will return to the actual refrigerator
and freezer temperatures after five (5) seconds. Several
adjustments may be required.
Each time you adjust controls, allow 24 hours for the
refrigerator to reach the temperature you have set.
To turn the cooling system off, tap the ∨ pad for either
the refrigerator or the freezer until the display shows
OFF. To turn the unit back on, press the ∧ pad for
either the refrigerator or freezer. Then press the ∧ pad
again and it will go to the preset points of 0
freezer and 37 F for the refrigerator. Setting either or
o
both controls to OFF stops cooling in both the freezer
and refrigerator compartments, but does not shut off
electrical power to the refrigerator.
How Quick Freeze Feature Works (select models)
Quick freeze rapidly cools both compartments in order to
more quickly cool foods. Use quick freeze when adding
a large amount of food to the freezer or fresh food
compartments, putting away foods after they have been
sitting out at room temperature, or when putting away
warm leftovers. It can also be used if the refrigerator has
been without power for an extended period.
Once activated, the compressor will turn on immediately
and the fans will cycle on and off at high speed as
needed for eight hours. The compressor will continue
to run until the refrigerator compartment cools to
approximately 34 F (1 C) and the freezer cools to
o o
approximately 0 F (-18 C), then it will cycle on and off
o o
to maintain this setting. After eight (8) hours, or if quick
freeze is pressed again, the freezer compartment will
return to the original setting.

About Door Alarm (select models)
The door alarm will sound if any door is open for more
than two (2) minutes. The beeping stops when you close
F for the
o
the door.
For Baseline Controls:
On models utilizing temperature control knobs, initially
set both knobs at 5. Allow 24 hours for temperatures to
stabilize. If further adjustment is needed, adjust controls
one increment at a time, and allow 24 hours to reach
temperatures you have set. Several adjustments may be
required. Setting the refrigerator temperature knob to
"0" stops cooling in both the freezer and the refrigerator
compartments, but does not shut off electrical power to
the refrigerator.
For Gallery Series Controls:
Initially, set the refrigerator control at 5 and the
freezer control at 5. This should result in temperatures
of approximately 37°F and 0°F in the two respective
compartments. Allow 24 hours for the temperatures to
stabilize. Several adjustments may be required. Adjust
the controls one increment at a time, and allow 24 hours
after each adjustment for the refrigerator to reach the
temperature you have set.
Setting either or both of the digital controls to "0"
stops cooling in both the refrigerator and freezer
compartments, but does not shut off electrical power to
the refrigerator.
