Refrigerator Operation
Turning the Refrigerator On or Off
Touch and hold the COOLING ON/OFF
key for 3 seconds.
NOTE:
After the refrigerator is turned on, the over
temperature audio alarm and indicator
light will activate every 1½ hours until the
refrigerator and freezer temperatures are
below 48°F (9°C) and 15°F (-9°C), respectively, or until the
alarm is turned off. To turn off the audio alarm and indicator
light, see Master Alarm Reset on page 5.
The COOLING ON/OFF key on the control panel shuts down
the cooling system, fans and compressors as well as the
control panel lights. To turn the power off completely, use the
main power switch located behind the top grille.
Setting the Temperature Scale
Touch the F/C key. To re-display degrees Fahrenheit,
touch F/C again. NOTE: If the freezer temperature
is below zero, the negative sign next to the freezer
display will light up. This is normal.

temperatures before other adjustments are made.

until the desired temperature is reached.

Setting the Controls
The control panel is located inside the refrigerator compartment
on the ceiling.
IMPORTANT:
The refrigerator control adjusts the refrigerator compartment
temperature. The freezer control adjusts the freezer
compartment temperature.
Wait 24 hours after you turn on the refrigerator before you put
food into it. If you add food before the refrigerator has cooled
completely, your food may spoil.
NOTE: Adjusting the refrigerator and freezer controls to a
lower (colder) 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.
The actual temperature may differ from the display when a
door is open for an extended period of time.
NOTE: The factory recommended settings are 0°F (-18°C) for the
freezer and 37°F (3°C) for the refrigerator.

IMPORTANT: Be sure the
main power switch is set to the
