Temperature controls (RX256DT7X1)
There are two control panels on your refrigerator, one on the outside of the door and one inside
the fresh food compartment. Temperature is controlled through the panel located at the inside
top of the fresh food compartment.
The temperatures are preset at 38°F (3°C) in the fresh food compartment and 0°F (-18°C) in the
freezer compartment. After being initially switched on the refrigerator will take several hours to
cool, depending on the environment it is placed in. You can start to store food in it 3 – 4 hours
after it was turned on.
After placing food in the refrigerator, leave it to stabilize for 24 hours. After this time you may
wish to alter the temperature. The fresh food and the freezer compartment temperatures are set
individually.
Before any buttons have been pushed, the display shows the current temperature of both
compartments.
The first touch of an
or button shows the current temperature setting in that
compartment.
Further touches of the
or button will change the temperature setting in 1°F increments.
The display will show the new setting for three seconds, and then return to the actual
temperature currently within that compartment.
Do not change the temperature more than one degree at a time. Allow the temperature to
stabilize for 24 hours before making another temperature adjustment.
If either compartment is too cold
Adjust the compartment temperature up 1°F by pressing the appropriate button for the
compartment. If display set to degrees Celcius, temperature will go up 1°C at a time (see page 15).
If either compartment is too warm
Adjust the compartment temperature down 1°F by pressing the appropriate button for the
compartment. If display set to degrees Celcius, temperature will go down 1°C at a time (see
page 15).
To turn the refrigerator off
Press either of the buttons repeatedly, until the numbers disappear from the display. THIS
WILL TURN THE WHOLE REFRIGERATOR UNIT (both fresh food and freezer compartments) OFF,
although the compartment lights remain on.
To turn back on, press the
button until the desired temperature is reached.
Note: if turning the refrigerator off, ensure ALL food and ice is removed.
