REFRIGERATOR USE
Using the Controls
The refrigerator and freezer controls are located on the dispenser
panel.
IMPORTANT: The display screen on the dispenser control panel
will turn off automatically and enter “sleep” mode when the
control buttons and dispenser lever have not been used for
2 minutes or more. While in “sleep” mode, the first press of a
control button will only reactivate the display screen, without
changing any settings.
Touch any control button on the dispenser panel to activate
the display screen. The home screen will appear as shown.
Adjusting the Controls
For your convenience, your refrigerator and freezer controls are
preset at the factory. When you first install your refrigerator, make
sure that both the refrigerator and freezer controls are still set to
“4,” the recommended “mid-setting.”
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 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.
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.
When adjusting set points, use the following chart as a guide.
The set point range is “1” (coldest) to “7” (least cold). When the
recommended “mid-setting” (“4”) is selected, a check mark
appears next to the setting.
Refrigerator Control:
Press FRIDGE TEMP to view the current set point for the
refrigerator.
Press FRIDGE TEMP again to adjust the set point. The setting
will decrease by 1 with each press of the button, looping back
to “7” after reaching “1.”
After 60 seconds of inactivity, any changes will be saved and
the display will return to the home screen.
Freezer Control:
Press FREEZER TEMP to view the current set point for the
freezer.
Press FREEZER TEMP again to adjust the set point. The
setting will decrease by 1 with each press of the button,
looping back to “7” after reaching “1.”
After 60 seconds of inactivity, any changes will be saved and
the display will return to the home screen.
Cooling On/Off
Your refrigerator and freezer will not cool when cooling is
turned off.
To turn cooling off, press and hold the FRIDGE TEMP and
FILTER RESET buttons at the same time for 3 seconds.
IMPORTANT: To avoid unintentionally changing other
settings, be sure to press both buttons at exactly the same
time.
When cooling is off, “COOLING OFF” will appear on the
display screen.
Press and hold FRIDGE TEMP and FILTER RESET for
3 seconds again to turn cooling back on.
