Accelerated Ice Production

This feature assists with temporary periods of heavy ice usage by increasing ice production over a 24-hour period.

■Press ICE touch pad to set the freezer temperature to -10°F (-23°C). The Accelerated Ice setting will remain on for

24 hours unless manually turned off. The display will continue to show your normal temperature set point.

■If increased ice production is desired at all times, set the Freezer Control to a colder setting. Adjusting the freezer to a colder temperature may make some foods, such as ice cream, harder.

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.

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
