Temperature controls (RX256DT4X1 / RX216DT4X1)
There are two control panels on your refrigerator, one on outside of the door and one inside the fresh food compartment. Temperature is controlled through the panel located at the inside top on the fresh food compartment.
The temperatures are preset to setting 4 in both the fresh food and freezer compartments. After being switched on, the refrigerator will take several hours to cool, depending on the environment it is placed in. You can start to store food in it 3 – 4 hours after it was turned on.
After placing food in the refrigerator, leave it to stabilize for 24 hours. After this time you may wish to alter the temperature. The fresh food and the freezer compartments are independent of each other, and their temperatures are set individually.
There are seven possible settings for each compartment:
1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 |
Warmest |
|
| Recommended |
|
| Coldest |
Do not change the temperature more than one setting at a time. Allow the temperature to stabilize for 24 hours before making another temperature adjustment.
If either compartment is too cold
Adjust the compartment temperature down one setting by pressing the appropriate 
button for the compartment.
If either compartment is too warm
Adjust the compartment temperature up one setting by pressing the appropriate 
button for the compartment.
To turn the refrigerator off
Press either of the | buttons repeatedly, until the numbers disappear from the display. THIS |
WILL TURN THE WHOLE REFRIGERATOR UNIT OFF (both fresh food and freezer compartments), although the compartment lights remain on.
To turn back on, press the | button until the desired temperature is reached. |
Note: if turning the refrigerator off, ensure ALL food and ice is removed.
The water filter needs to be replaced regularly. This is monitored through the control panel on the front of the refrigerator door (see page 21).
