About the temperature controls
on CustomCool ™
To change the temperature, press and release the + or –
pad. The SET light will come on and the display will
show the set temperature. To change the temperature,
tap either the + or – pad until the desired temperature
is displayed. Refrigerator temperatures can be adjusted
between 1°C and 7°C and the freezer temperatures can
be adjusted between –21°C and –14°C.
Once the desired temperature has been set, the
temperature display will return to the actual refrigerator
and freezer temperatures after 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.

The temperature controls are preset in the factory at 3°C for the refrigerator
compartment and -18°C for the 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 0 (off) stops cooling in both the freezer and
refrigerator compartments, but does not shut off electrical power to the
refrigerator.
NOTE: The refrigerator is shipped with protective film covering the temperature
controls. If this film was not removed during installation, remove it now.

NOTE: Internal temperature may be affected by such factors as the location of the refrigerator,
ambient temperature and frequency of door openings. Adjust temperature controls as required
to compensate for these factors.
To turn the cooling system off, tap the + pad for either
the refrigerator or the freezer until the display shows
0 (off). To turn the unit back on, press the – pad for either
the refrigerator or freezer. The SET light will illuminate
on the side you selected. Then press the – pad again
(on the side where the SET light is illuminated) and it
will go to the preset points of –18°C for the freezer and
3°C for the refrigerator. Setting either or both controls
to 0 (off) stops cooling in both the freezer and
refrigerator compartments, but does not shut off
electrical power to the refrigerator.
