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. 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.

TEMPERATURE CONTROL

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 are set 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 settingslisted 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 litwhen 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

Ice makers and Ice maker kits are available on select models. See online Owner’s Manual.

PowerCold® FEATURE

The PowerCold® feature sets the freezer and refrigerator to the lowest temperature settings to assist with periods of high refrigerator use, full grocery loads, or temporarily warm room temperatures.

To turn on the PowerCold® feature, press Temp Setting continually until all the LED lights are blinking on/off progressively from left to right. Press Temp Setting again to return to the Cold set point.

NOTE: Depending on the environment conditions, the PowerCold® feature will remain activated for up to 24 hours. When the feature turns off, the temperature will return to the recommended set point.

AIRFLOW CONTROL

The Airflow control regulates the amount of air flowing between the freezer and the refrigerator compartments. Changing the Airflow setting to Min 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 the online Owner’s Manual.
