About the temperature controls

on CustomCool™ models. (for other models, see next page)

The temperature controls are preset in the factory at 3°C for the refrigerator compartment and -18°Cfor 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.

Setting either or both controls to 0 (off) stops cooling in both the freezer and refrigerator compartments, but 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.

To change the temperature, press and release the + or – pad. The SET light will come on and the display will show the set temperature. To change the temperature, tap either the + or – pad until the desired temperature is displayed. Refrigerator temperatures can be adjusted between 1°C and 7°C and the freezer temperatures can be adjusted between –21°C and –14°C.

Once the desired temperature has been set, the temperature display will return to the actual refrigerator and freezer temperatures after 5 seconds. Several adjustments may be required. Each time you adjust controls, allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to reach the temperature you have set.

To turn the cooling system off, tap the + pad for either the refrigerator or the freezer until the display shows

0 (off). To turn the unit back on, press the – pad for either the refrigerator or freezer. The SET light will illuminate on the side you selected. Then press the – pad again (on the side where the SET light is illuminated) and it will go to the preset points of –18°Cfor the freezer and 3°C for the refrigerator. Setting either or both controls to 0 (off) stops cooling in both the freezer and refrigerator compartments, but does not shut off electrical power to the refrigerator.

Ambient Room Temperature Limits

This refrigerator is designed to operate in ambient temperatures specified by its Temperature Class, which is marked on the rating plate.

Temperature	Symbol	Ambient Temperature
Class		Maximum	Minimum
Extended-
Temperate	SN	32°C	10°C
Temperate	N	32°C	16°C
Subtropical	ST	38°C	18°C
Tropical	T	43°C	18°C

NOTE: Internal temperature may be affected by such factors as the location of the refrigerator, ambient temperature and frequency of door openings. Adjust temperature controls as required to compensate for these factors.
