REFRIGERATOR USE

Using the Controls

For your convenience, your refrigerator controls are preset at the factory. When you first install your refrigerator, make sure that the controls are still preset. The Refrigerator Control and the Freezer Control should both be set to the “mid-settings.”

IMPORTANT:

■Your product will not cool when the Refrigerator Control is set to OFF.

■The Refrigerator Control adjusts the refrigerator compartment temperature. The Freezer Control adjusts the freezer compartment temperature.

■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 Refrigerator and Freezer Controls to a higher (colder) than recommended setting will not cool the compartments any faster.

Digital Controls

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

To turn refrigerator on and view set points:

■Press and hold POWER (ON/OFF) pad for 2 seconds.

To view the Celsius temperatures:

■Press the °C SELECT pad. The indicator will light up. To redisplay degrees in Fahrenheit, press the °C SELECT pad again.

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

Adjusting Controls

The settings indicated in the previous section should be correct for normal household refrigerator usage. The controls are set correctly when milk or juice is as cold as you like and when ice cream is firm.

If you need to adjust temperatures in the refrigerator or freezer, press the refrigerator or freezer PLUS (+) or MINUS (-) pad until the desired temperature is reached. Use the settings listed in the chart below as a guide. Wait at least 24 hours between adjustments.

Additional Control Panel Features

Additional features are located on the control panel at the top of the refrigerator compartment.

Max Cool

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

■Press MAX COOL pad 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 not change. After

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

Accelerated Ice Production (on some models)

This feature assists with temporary periods of heavy ice use by increasing ice production over a 24-hour period.

■Press OPTIMICE® feature touch pad to turn on the OptimIce® feature. The OptimIce® setting will remain on for 24 hours unless manually turned off.

■If increased ice production is desired at all times, set the Freezer Control to a colder number. Setting the freezer to a colder temperature may make some foods, such as ice cream, harder.

Temperature System

The Temperature System feature lets you know the compressor or evaporator fan is running. It is normal for this indicator light to be on.
