Using the Controls
The control center is located on the front of the ice and water dispenser.
Temperature Controls
For your convenience, your temperature controls are preset at
the factory. When you first install your refrigerator, make sure the
controls are still set to the recommended set points as shown.
Recommended Settings
IMPORTANT:
■
When the power is on, the temperature display shows the set
point temperature of the compartment.
■
Wait 24 hours for your refrigerator to cool completely before
adding food. If you add food before the refrigerator has
cooled completely, your food may spoil.
NOTE: Adjusting the refrigerator and freezer temperature
controls to a colder than recommended setting will not cool
the compartments any faster.
■
The recommended settings should be correct for normal
household refrigerator use. The controls are set correctly
when milk or juice is as cold as you like and when ice cream
is firm.
■
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.
To Turn Off/On:
IMPORTANT:
■
Depending on your model you may have a control center with
an On/Off button (Style 1), or you may have a control center
without an On/Off button (Style 2).
■
The On/Off control turns off cooling for both compartments
and turns off the dispenser. It does not disconnect power to
the refrigerator.
Style 1 – Press and hold the On/Off button for three seconds.
The red LED will light up to indicate that cooling is Off. Press the
On/Off button again to turn on the cooling. The LED will turn off.
Style 2 – Press the Freezer (+) pad until OFF appears in the
display. Neither compartment will cool. Press the Freezer or
Refrigerator (-) pad to turn the cooling back on.
Adjusting Controls
The REFRIGERATOR control adjusts the refrigerator
compartment temperature. The FREEZER control adjusts the
freezer compartment temperature.
If you need to adjust the temperature in either the refrigerator or
freezer compartment, use the settings listed in the chart as a
guide.
To Adjust Set Point Temperatures:
The first touch of the (+) or (-) touch pad displays the current
temperature set point.
■
Press the (+) or (-) touch pads until the desired temperature
set point is displayed.
NOTE: Except when first turning on the refrigerator, do not
adjust either temperature control more than one setting at a
time. Wait 24 hours for the temperature to stabilize between
adjustments.
Additional Control Center Features
Max Cool
The max cool feature assists with periods of high refrigerator use,
full grocery loads, or temporarily warm room temperatures.
■
Press the Max Cool touch pad to set the freezer and
refrigerator to the lowest temperature settings. Press the Max
Cool touch pad again to return to the normal refrigerator set
point.
NOTE: The Max Cool feature will automatically shut off in
approximately 2 hours. When Max Cool is on, you cannot
adjust the temperature.
Humidity Control (on some Models)
The humidity control feature turns on a heater to help reduce
moisture on the door hinge seal. Use in humid environments or
when you notice moisture on the door hinge seal. The refrigerator
uses more energy when Humidity Control is on.
■
Press Humidity Control to turn on the door heater. Press
Humidity Control again to turn off the heater. The LED will be
illuminated when Humidity Control is on.
