REFRIGERATOR USE

Opening and Closing Doors

There are two refrigerator compartment doors. The doors can be opened and closed either separately or together.

There is a vertically-hinged seal on the left refrigerator door.

When the left side door is opened, the hinged seal automatically folds inward so that it is out of the way.

When both doors are closed, the hinged seal automatically forms a seal between the two doors.

Cooling On/Off

To turn cooling off, press and hold the TEMP button on the dispenser panel for 3 seconds. Your refrigerator and freezer will not cool when cooling is off.

To turn cooling back on, press and hold the TEMP button for 3 seconds again.

Temperature Controls

For your convenience, your refrigerator and freezer controls are preset at the factory. When you first install your refrigerator, make sure that the controls are still set to the “mid-settings.”

To view set points, press the TEMP button on the dispenser panel. The factory recommended set points are 0°F (-18°C) for the freezer and 38°F (3°C) for the refrigerator.

IMPORTANT:

Wait 24 hours before you put food into the refrigerator. If you add food before the refrigerator has cooled completely, your food may spoil.

NOTE: Adjusting the set points to a higher (colder) than recommended 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.

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

The display screen on the dispenser control panel has a backlight, which will turn off automatically when the controls have not been used for 2 minutes or more. When the backlight is off, the first press of a control button or the display screen will only reactivate the backlight, without changing any settings. Within 2 minutes after the backlight has been reactivated, additional presses of control buttons or the display screen will change the applicable settings.

Adjusting the Controls

To adjust the set points, press the TEMP button on the dispenser panel. Set points and adjusting information will appear on the display screen.

Refrigerator Controls

Make sure REFRIGERATOR is selected. The up and down arrows on the display screen allow you to adjust the refrigerator compartment temperature. The set point range for the refrigerator is 33°F to 45°F (0°C to 7°C).

Press the down arrow to lower the set point.

Press the up arrow to raise the set point.

NOTE: To view Celsius temperatures, press UNITS. To return the display setting to Fahrenheit, press UNITS again.
