Whirlpool GSS30C6EYY Adjusting the Controls, Condition Temperature Adjustment, Cooling On/Off

Adjusting the 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.” The factory recommended set points are 37°F (3°C) for the refrigerator and 0°F (-18°C) for the freezer.

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 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.

To view and adjust the set points, press and hold the TEMP button for 3 seconds. When adjust mode is activated, adjusting information will appear on the display screen.

NOTE: To view Celsius temperatures, press the LIGHT button when adjust mode is activated. To return the display setting to Fahrenheit, press LIGHT again.

■When adjust mode is activated, the display screen shows the refrigerator set point and “FRIDGE” appears.

■Press LOCK to raise the set point, or press OPTIONS to lower the set point.

■When you have finished viewing (and adjusting if desired) the refrigerator set point, press TEMP to change the display to show the freezer set point. When the zone has been changed, “FREEZER” appears on the display screen.

■Press LOCK to raise the set point, or press OPTIONS to lower the set point.

■When you have finished viewing (and adjusting if desired) both the refrigerator and freezer set points, press MEASURED FILL to save the settings.

NOTE: To exit without saving changes, press ICE TYPE at any time while in adjust mode, or allow about 60 seconds of inactivity and adjust mode will turn off automatically.

When adjusting temperature set points, use the following chart as a guide.

CONDITION:	TEMPERATURE
	ADJUSTMENT:
REFRIGERATOR too cold	REFRIGERATOR Setting
	1° higher
REFRIGERATOR too warm	REFRIGERATOR Setting
	1° lower
FREEZER too cold	FREEZER Setting
	1° higher
FREEZER too warm /	FREEZER Setting
Too little ice	1° lower

The set point range for the refrigerator is 33°F to 45°F (0°C to 7°C). The set point range for the freezer is -5°F to 5°F (-21°C to -15°C).

Cooling On/Off

Your refrigerator and freezer will not cool when cooling is turned off.

■To turn cooling off, press and hold the LOCK and MEASURED FILL buttons at the same time for 3 seconds.

IMPORTANT: To avoid unintentionally locking the dispenser or changing other settings, be sure to press both buttons at exactly the same time.

When cooling is off, “COOLING OFF” will appear on the display screen.

■Press and hold LOCK and MEASURED FILL for 3 seconds again to turn cooling back on.

Additional Features

Fast Ice

The Fast Ice feature assists with temporary periods of heavy ice use by increasing ice production over a 24-hour period.

IMPORTANT: This feature only works if the ice maker is turned on. See “Ice Maker and Storage Bin.”

■To turn on the feature, press OPTIONS then TEMP. When the feature is on, the Fast Ice icon will appear on the dispenser display screen. The Fast Ice setting will remain on for 24 hours unless manually turned off.

■To manually turn off the feature, press OPTIONS then TEMP again, or adjust the freezer temperature set point. The Fast Ice icon will disappear when the feature is off.

NOTE: If increased ice production is desired at all times, change the freezer set point to a lower setting. Setting the freezer to a colder temperature may make some foods, such as ice cream, harder.

6th Sense® Temperature Management

The 6th Sense® feature assists with regulating the temperature inside the refrigerator. If a large quantity of warm food is placed in the refrigerator or warm air enters the refrigerator while the door is held open, the 6th Sense® system activates to quickly restore the temperature to the set point.

NOTE: The 6th Sense® system is always on when your refrigerator is operating. You do not need to press any buttons to activate it. The 6th Sense® icon on the dispenser display screen indicates that the feature is functioning properly.
