ELECTRONIC CONTROLS– Recommended Setting “4”

For your convenience, your temperature controls are preset at the factory. When you first install your refrigerator, make sure the controls are still set to the initial settings as shown.

IMPORTANT:

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.

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 besure they are not blocked before adjusting the controls.

To Turn Your Refrigerator On/Off:

Press the freezer down arrow touchpad until a dash (–) appears in both the refrigerator and freezer displays. Neither compartment will cool when refrigerator is off.

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 On when the environment is warm and more humid, or if you notice moisture on the door hinge seal.
Press Humidity Control to Off to save energy when the environment is less humid.

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

Press the up or down arrow touch pads (or the plus or minus sign on some models).

NOTE: Except when first turning on the refrigerator, do not adjust either temperature control more than one setting at a time. Wait 24 hours between adjustments for the temperature to stabilize.
