Using the Controls

IMPORTANT:

Wait 24 hours after you turn on the refrigerator before you put food into it. If you add food before the refrigerator has cooled completely, your food may spoil.

NOTE: Adjusting the refrigerator and freezer controls to a lower (colder) setting will not cool the compartments any faster.

If the temperature is too warm or too cold in the refrigerator or freezer, first check the air vents to be sure they are not blocked before adjusting the controls.

After the refrigerator is turned on, the Over Temperature audio alarm and indicator light may activate every 1¹⁄₂ hours until the refrigerator and freezer temperatures are below 48°F (9°C) and 15°F (-9°C), respectively, or until the alarm is turned off. To turn off the audio alarm and indicator light, see “Master Alarm Reset.”

Turning Refrigerator On/Off and Viewing Set Points

The On/Off touch pad on the control panel shuts down refrigerator functions such as cooling, some lighting, fans and compressors. To turn the power off completely, use the power On/Off switch located behind the top grille. See “Power On/Off Switch.”

Press and hold the ON/OFF touch pad for 3 seconds. The LED will light up to indicate that cooling is Off. Press the touch pad again to turn on cooling. The LED will turn off.

To Adjust Set Point Temperatures:

The set point range for the freezer is -5°F to 5°F (-21°C to -15°C). The set point range for the refrigerator is 33°F to 45°F

(0°C to 7°C).

Press the refrigerator or freezer PLUS (+) or MINUS (-) touch pad until the desired temperature is reached.

Adjusting Controls

IMPORTANT:

The preset settings should be correct for normal household usage. The controls are set correctly when milk or juice is as cold as you like and when ice cream is firm.

NOTE: Wait at least 24 hours between adjustments. Recheck the temperatures before other adjustments are made.

Press the SET TO RECOMMENDED touch pad to reset the set points to the factory recommended temperatures.

NOTE: The factory recommended set points are 0°F (-18°C) for the freezer and 37°F (2°C) for the refrigerator.

The actual temperature may differ from the display when a door is open for an extended period of time.

Alarm Functions

Master Alarm Reset

Pressing Alarm Reset once will turn off the audio alarm and indicator light. The audio alarm will not sound again for the current condition that caused the alarm until a new condition occurs or until a Master Alarm Reset is performed.

A Master Alarm Reset can be performed by pressing ON/OFF twice or by turning the power to the refrigerator off and on again. See “Power On/Off Switch.” After performing a Master Alarm Reset, the indicator light will reactivate if the condition that caused the alarm is still present. See “Over Temperature,” “Call Service,” or “Door Alarm.”

Door Alarm

The Door Alarm indicator light will flash, an alarm will sound and the interior lights will turn off when a door has been open for longer than 10 minutes. When the door is closed, the audio alarm will reset and turn off, but the Door Alarm indicator light will continue to flash until the temperature is equal to or below 45°F (7°C) and 15°F (-9°C) for the refrigerator and freezer compartments, respectively.

NOTE: To deactivate the audio alarm and indicator light, see “Master Alarm Reset.”
