ENSURING PROPER AIR CIRCULATION

In order to ensure proper temperatures, air must flow between the refrigerator and freezer sections. As shown in the illustration below, air enters at top of freezer and circulates down. From bottom of freezer, air is forced up to top of refrigerator. Air enters refrigerator through top vent, then circulates and exists at bottom, where it returns to freezer.

MULTI-FLOW

•Multi-Flow means powerful and effective cooling operation. This is especially noticeable when new food is placed in the refrigerator compartment.

•If water or foreign substances enter the cool air vent while cleaning, efficiency will be lowered. In addition, if gasket is damaged, efficiency may be lowered because of escaping cool air.

Do not block any of cool air vents with food packages. If the vents are blocked, airflow will be interrupted 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 prevent odor transfer and drying out of food, wrap or cover foods tightly. (See the Food Storage Guide section for details.)

SETTING THE CONTROLS

•Your refrigerator has a control pad on the dispenser that lets you regulate the temperature in the freezer and refrigerator compartments.

•Initially set the REFRIGERATOR CONTROL at 37°F(3°C) and the FREEZER CONTROL at 0°F(-18°C). Leave it at this setting for 24 hours (one day) to stabilize. Then adjust the compartment temperature as desired.

•Refrigerator Temp Control: 33°F/46°F(O°C to 8°C)

The lower the number setting, the colder the refrigerator compartment will become.

•Freezer Temp Control: -6°F/9°F(-21°C to -13°C) When the setting is at a lower number, the freezer compartment becomes colder. But the refrigerator compartment becomes warmer because less cold air flows into the refrigerator.

NOTE: If you want to change °F to °C or the reverse, press and hold FRZ TEMP button and REF TEMP button at the same time for 3 seconds.

•Express Freezing : Press the EXPRESS FRZ button and the LED will turn on. This function will remain activated for 24 hours and increase the cooling speed of the freezer and the amount of ice produced.

•Dispenser Lock : Press and hold the LOCK button for 3 seconds to lock the dispenser.

When it is locked, the LED will be off and the dispenser

will not operate. To unlock, press and hold the LOCK button for 3 seconds.

•Filter Reset : When the FILTER RESET LED turns on,

you have to change the water filter. Press the FILTER RESET button for 3 seconds to turn LED off. You need

to change the water filter approximately every 6 months.
