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.

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