Using the Controls
IMPORTANT:
■The refrigerator control adjusts the refrigerator compartment temperature. The freezer control adjusts the freezer compartment temperature.
■Wait 24 hours after you turn on the refrigerator before you put food into it. If you add food before the refrigerator has cooled completely, your food may spoil.
NOTE: Adjusting the refrigerator and freezer controls to a lower (colder) setting will not cool the compartments any faster.
■If the temperature is too warm or too cold in the refrigerator or freezer, first check the air vents to be sure they are not blocked before adjusting the controls.
■The preset settings should be correct for normal household usage. The controls are set correctly when milk or juice is as cold as you like and when ice cream is firm.
■The actual temperature may differ from the display when a door is open for an extended period of time.
NOTE: The factory recommended set points are 0°F
Turning Refrigerator On and Viewing Set Points
■Press the Cooling (ON/OFF) touch pad.
NOTE:
■After the refrigerator is turned on, the Over Temperature audio alarm and indicator light may activate every 1¹⁄₂ hours until the refrigerator and freezer temperatures are below 48°F (9°C) and 15°F
■The ON/OFF touch pad on the control panel shuts down refrigerator functions such as cooling, lighting, fans and compressors. To turn the power off completely, use the power ON/OFF switch located behind the top grille. See “Power On/ Off Switch.”

■Press °C touch pad. To redisplay degrees Fahrenheit, press °C again.
