The recommended settings should be correct for normal household refrigerator use. The controls are set correctly when milk or juice is as cold as you like and when ice cream is firm.

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.

Adjusting Controls

The REFRIGERATOR control adjusts the refrigerator compartment temperature. The FREEZER control adjusts the freezer compartment temperature.

If you need to adjust the temperature in either the refrigerator or freezer compartment, use the settings listed in the chart as a guide.

IMPORTANT:

Depending on your model you may have a control center with an On/Off button (Style 1), or you may have a control center without an On/Off button (Style 2).

The On/Off control turns off cooling for both compartments and turns off the dispenser. It does not disconnect power to the refrigerator.

Humidity Control (on some models)

The Humidity Control feature turns on a heater to help reduce moisture on the door hinge seal. Use in humid environments or when you notice moisture on the door hinge seal. The refrigerator uses more energy when Humidity Control is on.

Press Humidity Control to turn on the door heater. Press Humidity Control again to turn off the heater. The LED will be illuminated when Humidity Control is on.

Temp Alarm

The Temp Alarm feature provides temperature information in the event of a power outage.

Power outage: During a power outage, if the temperatures in the refrigerator and freezer compartments exceed normal operating temperatures, the highest temperature reached will be displayed.

Press the Temp Alarm touch pad until the indicator light is lit, to turn on this feature. Press and hold Temp Alarm for

3 seconds until the indicator light goes off to turn off this feature.

Temperature alarm: An alarm will sound repeatedly if the freezer or refrigerator compartment temperatures exceed normal operating temperatures for an hour or more.

The temperature displays will alternately show the current temperatures and the highest temperatures the compartments reached.

Press the Temp Alarm touch pad once to stop the audible alarm and alternating temperature displays. The Temp Alarm light will continue to flash until the refrigerator returns to the set temperature.
