The temperature controls are preset in the factory at 37°F for the
refrigerator compartment and 0°F for the freezer compartment. Allow
24 hours for the temperature to stabilize to the preset recommended
settings.
The temperature controls can display both the SET temperature
as well as the actual temperature in the refrigerator and freezer.
The actual temperature may vary slightly from the SET temperature
based on usage and operating environment.
NOTE: The refrigerator is shipped with protective film covering the
temperature controls. If this film was not removed during installation,
remove it now.
The Performance Air-Flow System is designed to
maximize temperature control in the refrigerator
and freezer compartments. This unique special
feature consists of the Air Tower along the back
wall of the refrigerator and the freezer. Placing food
in front of the louvers on these components will not
affect performance.
Performance Air Flow System
To change the temperature, press and release the
WARMER or COLDER button. SET will illuminate in
the display, as well as the set temperature. To
change the temperature, tap either the WARMER or
COLDER button (while SET is illuminated) until the
desired temperature is displayed. Refrigerator
temperatures can be adjusted between 34°F and
47°F and the freezer temperatures can be adjusted
between –6°F and +8°F.
Once the desired temperature has been set,
the temperature display will clear after 10 seconds.
To display the temperature, the DISPLAY TEMP
button may be tapped.
Several adjustments may be required. Each time you
adjust controls, allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to
reach the temperature you have set.
