About the temperature controls.

Not all features are on all models.

The temperature controls are preset in the factory at 37°F for the refrigerator compartment and 0°F for the freezer compartment. Allow 24 hours for the temperature to stabilize to the preset recommended settings.

The temperature controls can display both the SET temperature as well as the actual temperature in the refrigerator and freezer. The actual temperature may vary slightly from the SET temperature based on usage and operating environment.

■ On some models, setting both controls to the warmest setting until the display flashes (off) will stop cooling in both the freezer and refrigerator compartments.

■ On other models, setting either control to the warmest setting until the display flashes (off) will stop the cooling to the freezer and refrigerator.

■ NOTE: Turning the refrigerator off via the controls on the touch panel does not shut off electrical power to the refrigerator.

NOTE: The refrigerator is shipped with protective film covering the temperature controls. If this film was not removed during installation, remove it now.

About TurboCool.™ (on some models)

Consumer Support
How it Works

TurboCool rapidly cools the refrigerator compartment in order to more quickly cool foods. Use TurboCoolwhen adding a large amount

of food to the refrigerator compartment, putting away foods after they have been sitting out at room temperature or when putting away warm leftovers. It can also be used if the refrigerator has been without power for an extended period.

 

Once activated, the compressor will turn on

 

immediately and the fans will cycle on and

 

off at high speed as needed for eight hours.

 

The compressor will continue to run until the

 

refrigerator compartment cools to approximately

 

34°F (1°C), then it will cycle on and off to maintain

 

this setting. After 8 hours, or if TurboCoolis

 

pressed again, the refrigerator compartment

will return to the original setting.

 

How toUse

Press TurboCool. The TurboCooltemperature display will show Tc and the LED will be activated.

After TurboCoolis complete, the TurboCool indicator light will go out.

NOTES: The refrigerator temperature cannot be changed during TurboCool.

The freezer temperature is not affected during TurboCool.

When opening the refrigerator door during TurboCool, the fans will continue to run if they have cycled on.
