IMPORTANT: The display screen on the dispenser control panel

display screen. The home screen will appear as shown.

Viewing and Adjusting Temperature Set Points

For your convenience, your refrigerator and freezer temperature
controls are set to the recommended set points at the factory.
When you first install your refrigerator, make sure the temperature
controls are still set to the recommended set points. The
recommended set points are 37°F (3°C) for the refrigerator and
0°F (-18°C) for the freezer.
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 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 recommended set points should be correct for normal
household use. The controls are set correctly when milk or
juice is as cold as you like and when ice cream is firm.
NOTE: Areas such as a garage or porch, may experience
hotter or colder temperatures and higher humidity than inside
the home. You may need to adjust the temperature away from
the recommended set points to accommodate for these
conditions.
REFRIGERATOR USE
Wait at least 24 hours between adjustments. Recheck the
