Ensuring Proper Air Circulation

In order to ensure proper temperatures, you need to permit airflow between the refrigerator and freezer sections. As shown in the illustration, cool air enters the freezer section through vents in the rear and top. The air flows forward through the freezer section and recirculates under the freezer floor. Cool air enters the refrigerator section through the top, flows down and across shelves to the doors and recirculates to return air vents at the bottom.

Do not block any airflow vents. If the vents are blocked, airflow will be obstructed and temperature and moisture problems may occur.

IMPORTANT: Because air circulates between both sections, any odors formed in one section will transfer to the other. You must thoroughly clean both sections to eliminate odors. To avoid odor transfer and drying out of food, wrap or cover foods tightly.

Using 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).
