REFRIGERATOR USE
Opening and Closing Doors
There are two refrigerator compartment doors. The doors can be
opened and closed either separately or together.
There is a vertically-hinged seal on the left refrigerator door.
When the left side door is opened, the hinged seal
automatically folds inward so that it is out of the way.
When both doors are closed, the hinged seal automatically
forms a seal between the two doors.
Using the Controls
The refrigerator and freezer controls are located on the dispenser
panel and display screen.

Cooling On/Off
To turn cooling off, press and hold the TEMP button on the
dispenser panel for 3 seconds. Your refrigerator and freezer will
not cool when cooling is off.
To turn cooling back on, press and hold the TEMP button for
3 seconds again.
Temperature Controls
For your convenience, your refrigerator and freezer controls are
preset at the factory.
To view set points, press the TEMP button on the dispenser panel.
The factory recommended set points are 0°F (-18°C) for the
freezer and 38°F (3°C) for the refrigerator.
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 higher (colder) than
recommended setting will not cool the compartments any
faster.
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 display screen on the dispenser control panel has a
backlight, which will turn off automatically when the controls
have not been used for 2 minutes or more. When the backlight
is off, the first press of a control button or the display screen
will only reactivate the backlight, without changing any
settings. Within 2 minutes after the backlight has been
reactivated, additional presses of control buttons or the
display screen will change the applicable settings.
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 will repeat every 2 minutes.
Close both doors to turn it off. The feature then resets and will
reactivate when either door is left open again for 5 minutes.
If you need to keep the doors open and wish to silence the
alarm for up to 5 minutes, press SNOOZE on the display
screen.
If you need to keep the doors open and wish to silence the
alarm for longer than 5 minutes, press RESET on the display
screen. The alarm will remain off until both doors are closed,
then will reactivate when either door is left open again for
5minutes.
Adjusting the Controls
To adjust the set points, press the TEMP button on the dispenser
panel. Set points and adjusting information will appear on the
display screen.
