About the controls on the refrigerator.

The controls will look like one of the following:

ADJUST FREEZER TEMP

ACTIVATE LOCK

ADJUST REFRIGERATOR TEMP

COLDER WARMER

HOLD

COLDER WARMER

3 SECS

 

 

9 IS COLDEST

IS COLDEST

Initially, set the refrigerator control at 5 and the freezer control at 5 and allow 12–24 hours for the temperature to stabilize.

Several adjustments may be required. Adjust the controls one increment at a time, and allow 12 hours after each adjustment for the refrigerator to reach the temperature you have set.

Setting the controls to 0 stops cooling in both the refrigerator and freezer compartments but does not shut off electrical power to the refrigerator. On some models, only the refrigerator control has a 0 setting.

Touch pad controls

Setting either control at 0 will automatically set the other control at 0. The zeros will blink until you set the controls.

If both controls are set at 0 and either COLDER pad is pressed, the controls will automatically reset to 5.

Control settings will vary based on personal preferences, usage and operating conditions and may require more than one adjustment.
