REFRIGERATOR USE

Using the Controls

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

Do not remove ground prong.

Do not use an adapter.

Do not use an extension cord.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

Turning Refrigerator On

■If the refrigerator is off, press COOLING ON/OFF to turn the cooling on.

■To turn your refrigerator off, press COOLING ON/OFF. Your refrigerator will not cool when the control is set to Off.

NOTE: Pressing the Cooling On/Off button does not disconnect power to the refrigerator. The interior lights will turn off if either compartment door is open for more than 10 minutes. Simply close and open the door to turn on the interior lights.

NOTE: Make sure the refrigerator is plugged into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

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 to the mid-settings as shown.

IMPORTANT:

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

■The displays normally show the actual temperatures inside the refrigerator and freezer compartments. Sometimes, temperatures may vary slightly in different areas of each compartment. For example, frequently opening the door allows air from the room to enter the compartment, exposing door bins to room-temperature air. When reading the display, keep in mind that it shows an average temperature for the entire compartment. If you want to view the temperature you set for the compartment rather than the actual temperature, see “Viewing Set Points.”

■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 lower (colder) setting will not cool the compartments any faster.

Viewing Set Points

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

Set point range for the freezer: -6° to 6°F (-21°C to -14°C)

Set point range for the refrigerator: 32° to 46°F (0°C to 8°C)

To view the set point temperatures, press either the up or down button for the refrigerator or freezer temperature. The display will become brighter to indicate that you are viewing the set points. Five seconds after an adjustment is made, the display lights will dim and return to the actual temperature.

NOTE: During automatic defrost cycles, the actual temperature displayed may be higher than the set point. This is normal. The actual temperatures should return to the set points within a few hours following completion of the defrost cycle.

Adjusting Controls

The mid-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 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.

If you need to adjust temperatures, use the settings listed in the chart below as a guide. Wait at least 24 hours between adjustments.
