OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to
persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS, located in your appliance’s
Owner’s Manual, before operating this appliance.
IMPORTANT: Before operating this appliance, make sure it has been
properly installed according to the appliance’s Owner’s Manual.
The controls are located above the external dispenser. Depending on your
model, your refrigerator has either a dispenser (Style 1) or no dispenser
(Style 2). Follow the instructions specific to your model.
The control panel display will turn off automatically and enter “sleep” mode
when the control buttons and dispenser pads have not been used for 2 minutes
or more. Press any control to reactivate the display screen.

STYLE 2—CONTROL PANEL WITHOUT DISPENSER
TEMPERATURE SET POINTS
For your convenience, your refrigerator and freezer temperature controls are set to the recommended set points at the factory. When you first install your refrigerator, make sure the temperature controls are still set to the recommended set points. The recommended set points are 37°F (3°C) for the refrigerator and 0°F (-18°C) for the freezer.
IMPORTANT:
-
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.
NOTE: Areas such as a garage, basement, or porch may have higher humidity or extreme temperatures. You may need to adjust the temperature away from the recommended settings to accommodate for these conditions. -
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.
-
Wait at least 24 hours between adjustments. Recheck the temperatures before other adjustments are made.
Adjust Temperature Set Points:
-
To view and adjust the set points, press and hold Temp for 3 seconds to activate temperature mode.
-
When temperature mode is activated, press Temp to select the Refrigerator zone. The display will show the temperature set point of the selected compartment as shown.
NOTE: To view temperatures in degrees Celsius, press Options. To return the display setting to degrees Fahrenheit, press Options again. -
Press the adjust up arrow to raise the temperature set point or press the adjust down arrow to lower the temperature set point.
-
When you have finished adjusting 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 Light to save and confirm the new set points, and to return to the home screen.
NOTE: To exit Temp mode without saving changes, allow about 60 seconds of inactivity. The temperature mode will turn off automatically and return to the normal screen. 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 / too little ice | Freezer setting 1° lower |
