ALLOWING COOLING TIME BEFORE USE

To ensure reliable food storage, allow your refrigerator and freezer to operate with the doors closed for 8 to 12 hours before placing food inside. During this cooling period, you do not need to adjust the controls, which are preset at the factory.

SETTING COOLING TEMPERATURES

Your refrigerator comes with a state-of-the-art electronic digital control system. The system’s control panel is located at the top of the the fresh food compartment.

The two digital displays on the left half of the

control panel indicate the

current temperatures of

your freezer and fresh

food compartments.

To adjust the temperature to a higher or lower setting, press the Cold or

Colder button closest to the display. The first time you press the button, the display shows the last setting you entered. Each press of the button after that increments the setting by one degree. The display shows your new setting momentarily, then changes back to the current temperature.
