Using the Controls

IMPORTANT:

The refrigerator control adjusts the refrigerator compartment temperature. The freezer control adjusts the freezer compartment temperature.

Wait 24 hours after you turn on the refrigerator before you put food into it. 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.

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 preset settings should be correct for normal household usage. The controls are set correctly when milk or juice is as cold as you like and when ice cream is firm.

The actual temperature may differ from the display when a door is open for an extended period of time.

NOTE: The factory recommended set points are 0°F (-18°C) for the freezer and 37°F (3°C) for the refrigerator.

Turning Refrigerator On and Viewing Set Points

Press the Cooling (ON/OFF) touch pad.

NOTE:

After the refrigerator is turned on, the Over Temperature audio alarm and indicator light may activate every 1¹⁄₂ hours until the refrigerator and freezer temperatures are below 48°F (9°C) and 15°F (-9°C), respectively, or until the alarm is turned off. To turn off the audio alarm and indicator light, see “Master Alarm Reset.”

The ON/OFF touch pad on the control panel shuts down refrigerator functions such as cooling, lighting, fans and compressors. To turn the power off completely, use the power ON/OFF switch located behind the top grille. See “Power On/ Off Switch.”

Viewing the Celsius Temperatures

Press °C touch pad. To redisplay degrees Fahrenheit, press °C again.

NOTE: If the freezer temperature is below zero, the negative sign next to the freezer display will light up. This is normal.

Adjusting Controls

NOTE: Wait at least 24 hours between adjustments. Recheck the temperatures before other adjustments are made.

To Adjust Set Point Temperatures:

Press the refrigerator or freezer PLUS (+) or MINUS (-) touch pad until the desired temperature is reached.

Press the Set To Recommended touch pad to reset the set points to the factory recommended temperatures.

NOTE: The set point range for the freezer is -5°F to 5°F (-21°C to -15°C). The set point range for the refrigerator is 33°F to 45°F (0°C to 7°C).

Max Cool

The Max Cool feature assists with periods of heavy ice usage, full grocery loads, or temporarily warm room temperatures.

Press MAX COOL to turn on the Max Cool feature. The Max Cool indicator light will remain on for 24 hours unless manually turned off.

NOTE: The temperature display will remain at 34°F (1°C) and -5°F (-21°C) for the refrigerator and freezer compartments, respectively, while the Max Cool feature is enabled. After

24 hours, the refrigerator returns to the previous temperature set points.

Alarm Functions

Master Alarm Reset

Pressing Alarm Reset once will turn off the audio alarm and indicator light. The audio alarm will not sound again for the current condition that caused the alarm until a new condition occurs or until a Master Alarm Reset is performed.

A Master Alarm Reset can be performed by pressing Cooling (ON/ OFF) twice or by turning the power to the refrigerator off and on again. See “Power On/Off Switch.” After performing a Master Alarm Reset, the indicator light will reactivate if the condition that caused the alarm is still present. See “Over Temperature,” “Call Service,” or “Door Open.”
