Temperature Controls

For your convenience, your refrigerator and freezer controls are preset at the factory.

To view set points, press the TEMP button on the dispenser panel. The factory recommended set points are 0°F (-18°C) for the freezer and 38°F (3°C) for the refrigerator.

IMPORTANT:

■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 set points to a higher (colder) than recommended setting will not cool the compartments any faster.

■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.

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

■The display screen on the dispenser control panel has a backlight, which will turn off automatically when the controls have not been used for 2 minutes or more. When the backlight is off, the first press of a control button or the display screen will only reactivate the backlight, without changing any settings. Within 2 minutes after the backlight has been reactivated, additional presses of control buttons or the display screen will change the applicable settings.

Power Outage Indicator (on some models)

The power outage indicator lets you know if the power supply to your refrigerator is cut off for more than 1 hour.

When power is restored, a power outage alert will appear on the display screen. The display shows how long the refrigerator was without power, using exact times if the clock has been set.

When the indicator is on, all other dispenser functions are disabled. To use the dispenser, you must reset the power outage indicator.

■Press RESET on the display screen, then press YES to confirm that you want to reset the indicator.

■From the Home screen, you can view the power outage history for the refrigerator. Press OPTIONS, then OUTAGE.
