SETTING THE CONTROLS (Models with water dispenser)

USING YOUR REFRIGERATOR

SETTING THE CONTROLS (Models with water dispenser)

IMPORTANT: Wipe out moisture before using the display button as operation of the button is based on touch sensing method and becomes slow or other buttons may operate if moisture is stuck to the surface of the button.

Your refrigerator has a control pad on the dispenser that lets you regulate the temperature in the freezer and refrigerator compartments.

Initially set the REFRIGERATOR CONTROL at 37°F (3°C) and the FREEZER CONTROL at 0°F (–18°C). Leave it at this setting for 24 hours (one day) to stabilize. Then adjust the compartment temperature as desired.

Refrigerator Temp Control: 32°F to 47°F (0°C to 8°C) The lower the number setting, the colder the refrigerator compartment will become.

Freezer Temp Control: -6°F to 8°F (-21°C to -13°C) When the setting is at a lower number, the freezer compartment becomes colder.

NOTE: If you want to change °F to °C or the reverse, press and hold FREEZER key and REFRIGERATOR key simultaneously for 5 seconds or more.

NOTE: If you want to off display, press and hold ICE PLUS key and FREEZER key over 5 seconds at the same time.

NOTE: Touch display once to activate, then touch again to change the settings or activate a function. If 10 seconds has passed since the display has been touched, it will be necessary to touch “once” again to reactivate.

*This is to prevent accidental display setting changes.

Ice Plus : Press the ICE PLUS button and the LED will turn on. This function will remain activated for 24 hours and increase the cooling speed of the freezer and the amount of ice produced.

Dispenser Lock : Press and hold the LOCK button for 3 seconds to lock the dispenser.

When it is locked, the dispenser will not operate. To unlock, press and hold the LOCK button for 3 seconds.

Filter Reset : It displays in months the number of months left to exchange the filter from the moment power is connected to the refrigerator. If you have changed the filter after 6 months of use, press and hold the FILTER button 3 seconds or more and the filter display will be initialized with a buzzing sound.

NOTE: The average life of the filter is 6 months.

ADJUSTING CONTROL SETTINGS WARNING: If a door is open, the dispenser does not work.

ADJUSTING CONTROL SETTINGS

Give the refrigerator time to cool down completely before adding food. It is best to wait 24 hours before you put food into the refrigerator. The mid-settings indicated in the previous section should be correct for normal household refrigerator usage. The controls are set correctly when milk or juice is as cold as you like and when ice cream is firm.

The refrigerator control functions as the thermostat for the entire appliance (refrigerator and freezer sections.) The higher the number setting, the longer the compressor will run to keep the temperature colder. The freezer control adjusts the cold air flow from the freezer to the refrigerator. Setting the freezer control to a lower temperature keeps more cold air in the Freezer compartment to make it colder.

If you need to adjust temperatures in the refrigerator or freezer, start by adjusting the refrigerator first. Wait 24 hours after the refrigerator adjustment to check the freezer temperature. If it is too warm or too cold, then adjust the freezer control as well.

Use the settings listed in the chart below as a guide.

Always remember to wait at least 24 hours between

adjustments.
