ExtendFresh™Temperature

Management System

The ExtendFresh™Temperature Management System
controls the temperature in both the refrigerator
compartment and the freezer compartment
independently. The system helps extend the freshness of
the food in your refrigerator by responding to
temperature changes as small as 1°F. Unlike most
refrigerators on the market today, the ExtendFresh™
System uses a SMART™Fan to transfer cold air
immediately from the freezer to the refrigerator for faster
response to temperature changes without the need for the
compressor to turn on. Also, by monitoring the freezer
and fresh-food compartments every 82 seconds, the
system maintains consistent temperatures, which are less
affected by external temperature changes such as seasonal
changes and programmable home thermostats.

Setting temperature controls

The Refrigerator and the Freezer Controls have been
preset at the factory. These settings should be correct for
normal household refrigerator use. Let the refrigerator
operate for 24 hours to cool both sections before
changing settings. If possible, wait to add food until after
this 24-hour period. Adding foods before the refrigerator
has cooled completely could cause the refrigerator to take
longer to reach the desired temperatures and cause some
foods to spoil. After 24 hours, adjust the controls, one
number at a time as desired. “1” is the warmest setting
and “4” is the coldest. Allow the refrigerator to operate
for 24 hours after each control change.
To change a temperature setting:
Adjust the Refrigerator and/or Freezer Control.
• To make the refrigerator or freezer colder, slide the
control knob to the right.
• To make the refrigerator or freezer less cold, slide the
control knob to the left.
Note: Turning the controls to higher number settings
will not cool the sections faster.
IMPORTANT: The “OFF” setting on the Freezer
Control stops all cooling action in the refrigerator, but it
does not disconnect the refrigerator from the power
supply.
