Digital Controls (on some models)

For your convenience, your controls are preset at the factory. When installing your refrigerator, make sure that the controls are still preset to the “mid-settings” as shown. The digital control panel is located at the top of the refrigerator compartment.

NOTE: The factory recommended set points are 0°F (-18°C) for the freezer and 37°F (3°C) for the refrigerator.

To turn refrigerator on and view set points:

Press and hold POWER (ON/OFF) pad for 2 seconds.

NOTE: After the refrigerator is turned on, the Over Temperature audio alarm and indicator light will activate every 1¹⁄₂ hours until the refrigerator and freezer temperatures are below 48°F (9°C) and 15°F (-9°C), respectively. To turn off the alarm and indicator light, press the OVER TEMPERATURE (RESET) pad. (See the “Over Temperature (Reset)” section.)

To view the Celsius temperatures:

Press the °C SELECT pad. The indicator will light up. To redisplay degrees in Fahrenheit, press the °C SELECT pad again.

NOTE: If the freezer temperature is below zero, the negative sign next to the freezer display will light up.

Adjusting Digital Controls

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

To adjust set point temperatures:

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

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 41°F

(1°C to 5°C).
