Product Information
The Top Mount Refrigerator is a household appliance that provides cooling for
both the freezer and refrigerator compartments. It has two controls that
affect the temperature: the Temperature control located at the top front of
the refrigerator compartment, and the Airflow control located on the back wall
of the freezer compartment.
IMPORTANT: Before operating this appliance, make sure it has been
properly installed according to the appliance’s Owner’s Manual. Your
refrigerator has two controls that affect the temperature. The Temperature
control is located at the top front of the refrigerator compartment and the
Airflow control is located on the back wall of the freezer compartment.
Product Usage Instructions
- Before operating the refrigerator, ensure it has been properly installed according to the appliance’s Owner’s Manual.
- Ensure that the temperature control is set to the recommended setting before plugging in the refrigerator for the first time.
- Wait 24 hours for the refrigerator to cool completely before adding food. Adding food before the refrigerator has cooled completely may cause spoilage.
- If you need to adjust the temperature in either the refrigerator or freezer compartments, use the settings listed in the provided chart as a guide. Adjustments should be made one setting at a time, and wait 24 hours between adjustments for the temperature to stabilize.
- To turn cooling off, press and hold the Temp Setting button for 4 seconds until all lights stay on for 1 second. To turn cooling back on, press and hold the Temp Setting button again for 4 seconds. Note that neither compartment will cool when the control is set to Off.
- To adjust the Airflow control, use the Max setting to increase airflow to the freezer and the Min setting to increase airflow to the refrigerator.
- For any issues related to temperature, follow the provided chart to determine the necessary adjustment for either the Temperature control or Airflow control.
TEMPERATURE CONTROL
Recommended Settings
For your convenience, the temperature control is preset at the factory.
When you first install your refrigerator, make sure the control is still
preset as shown above.
IMPORTANT:
-
The recommended setting should be correct for normal household refrigerator use. The controls areset correctly when milk or juice is as cold as you like and when ice cream is firm.
-
Wait 24 hours for your refrigerator to cool completely before adding food. If you add food before the refrigerator has cooled completely, your food may spoil.
NOTE: Adjusting the refrigerator and freezer controls 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.
COOLING ON/OFF
To turn cooling off, press and hold Temp Setting for 4 seconds until all
lights stay on for 1 second. To turn cooling back on, press and hold Temp
Setting again for 4 seconds.
NOTE: Neither compartment will cool when the control is set to Off.
ADJUSTING THE TEMPERATURE CONTROL
If you need to adjust the temperature in either the refrigerator or freezer
compartment, use the settings listed in the chart below as a guide.
NOTE: Except when starting the refrigerator, do not adjust the control
more than one setting at a time. Wait 24 hours between adjustments for the
temperature to stabilize
- Press the Temp Setting button to toggle among the four LED lights which indicate the temperature setting. Reading from left to right, the LED in the first position is the least cold. The LEDs indicate increasingly colder settings as you continue to the right until all four LEDs are illuminated.
NOTE: For the first to fourth setting, only one LED of the four LEDs will be lit. All four LEDs will be lit when you have reached the coldest setting.
CONDITION/REASON: | ADJUSTMENT: |
---|---|
Refrigerator too warm | Temp control one setting higher |
Refrigerator too cold | Temp control one setting lower |
Freezer too warm/too little ice* | Airflow or Temp control one setting higher |
Freezer too cold | Airflow or Temp control one setting lower |

AIRFLOW CONTROL
The Airflow control regulates the amount of air flowing between the freezer
and the refrigerator compartments. Changing the Airflow setting to Max removes
cool air from the freezer and uses it to cool the refrigerator. When you plug
in the refrigerator for the first time, turn the Airflow control to the
Recommended setting.
ADJUSTING THE AIRFLOW CONTROL
- Max – Increase airflow to the freezer
- Min – Increase airflow to the refrigerator
IMPORTANT: Once the performance is achieved, return the Airflow control to the recommended setting to keep the refrigerator operating at optimum efficiency.
CONDITION/REASON: | ADJUSTMENT: |
---|---|
Heavy ice use* | Max |
Hot room temperature | Max – to maintain ice making production rate |
Large quantity of groceries | Min – to quickly chill food and beverages |
*Ice makers and ice maker kits are available on select models. See online Owner’s Manual.
