EXTENDFRESHTemperature 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, the system maintains consistent temperatures, which are less affected by external temperature changes such as seasonal changes and programmable home thermostats or even the temperature of other compartments inside the refrigerator.

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.

To change a temperature setting:

Adjust the Refrigerator and/or Freezer Control.

To make the refrigerator or freezer colder, turn the control knob clockwise.

To make the refrigerator or freezer less cold, turn the control knob counterclockwise.

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.

If possible, wait to add food until after this 24-hour period. Turning the controls to higher number settings will not cool the sections faster. 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 “5” is the coldest. Allow the refrigerator to operate for 24 hours after each control change.
