OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT: Before operating this appliance, make sure it has been properly installed according to the appliance’s Owner’s Manual.
NOTE: The display screen on the dispenser control panel will turn off
automatically and enter “sleep” mode when the control buttons and dispenser
pads have not been used for 2 minutes or more. While in “sleep” mode, the
first press of a control button will only reactivate the display screen
without changing any settings.
Touch any control button on the dispenser panel to activate the display
screen. The home screen will appear as shown.
For your convenience, your refrigerator and freezer controls are preset at the factory. When you first install your refrigerator, make sure that both the refrigerator and freezer controls are still set to the “mid-setting.” This will be indicated with three illuminated bars.
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 setpoints 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.

The set point range for the refrigerator is 33°F to 42°F (0°C to 6°C).
The set point range for the freezer is –9°F to 5°F (–23°C to –15°C).

DOOR AJAR ALARM
The Door Ajar Alarm feature sounds an alarm when the refrigerator or freezer
door is open for 5 minutes and the product cooling is turned on. The alarm

panel. The alarm sound will be turned off temporarily, but the Door Ajar icon
