Using the Controls
The temperature controls are located at the top front of the refrigerator or freezer compartments.
Temperature Controls
For your convenience, the temperature controls are preset at the factory. When you first install your refrigerator, make sure the controls are still set to the recommended setting as shown.
Style 1
Recommended Setting “4”
Style 2
Recommended Setting “4”
IMPORTANT:
■The recommended setting should be correct for normal household refrigerator use. The controls are set correctly when milk or juice is as cold as you like and when ice cream is firm.
■Wait 24 hours for your refrigerator to cool completely before adding food. If you add food before the refrigerator has cooled completely, your food may spoil.
NOTE: Adjusting the refrigerator and freezer temperature controls to a colder than recommended 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.
To Turn Off/On:
Style 1 Press the freezer down arrow touch pad until a dash
Style 2 Turn the freezer control to the word OFF. Neither compartment will cool when the freezer is set to OFF.
Humidity Control (on some models)
The humidity control turns on a heater to help reduce moisture on the door hinge seal. Use in humid environments or when you notice moisture on the door hinge seal. The refrigerator uses more energy when Humidity Control is on.
■Press the control to ON when the environment is warm and more humid, or if you notice moisture on the door hinge seal.
■Press the control to OFF to save energy when the environment is less humid.
Adjusting Controls
If you need to adjust the temperature in either the refrigerator or freezer compartment, use the settings listed in the chart below as a guide.
For (Style 1) controls press the up or down arrow touch pads, or for (Style 2) controls turn the dial to adjust the temperature. Except when starting the refrigerator, do not adjust either control more than one setting at a time. Wait 24 hours between adjustments for the temperature to stabilize.
