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 controls are located above the external dispenser.
IMPORTANT: The display screen on the dispenser control panel
will turn off automatically and enter “sleep” mode when the
control buttons and dispenser paddles have not been used for
2 minutes or more. Press any control button to reactivate the
display screen. The home screen will appear as shown.
Viewing and Adjusting Temperature Set Points
For your convenience, your refrigerator and freezer controls are
preset at the factory.
When you first install your refrigerator, make sure that the
controls are still set to the recommended set points. The factory
recommended set points are 37°F (3°C) for the refrigerator and
0°F (-18°C) for the freezer.
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 recommended settings should be correct for normal
household use. The controls are set correctly when milk or
juice is as cold as you like and when ice cream is firm.
NOTE: Areas such as a garage, basement or porch, may
have higher humidity or extreme temperatures. You may need
to adjust the temperature away from the recommended
settings to accommodate for these conditions.
Wait at least 24 hours between adjustments. Recheck the
temperatures before other adjustments are made.
