Setting the Controls
The control panel is located on the front of the ice and water
dispenser.
To access the main control menu, press any of the four touch
pads located on either side of the display. Then, touch the pad
next to the desired option or user setting to access the various
features.
IMPORTANT:
„
Press only the touch pads next to your selection on the display
screen, not the selection itself.
„
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.
„
Adjusting the refrigerator and freezer temperature controls to
a colder than recommended setting will not cool the compart-
ments 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.
Turning Cooling On or Off
COOLING OFF controls all cooling functions, the control panel
and the dispenser. It does not disconnect power to the refrig-
erator.
„
Press and hold the COOLING OFF touch pad
for three seconds. The LED will light up to
indicate that cooling is off. Neither compartment
will cool.
„
Press the COOLING OFF touch pad again to
turn on the cooling. The LED will turn off.
NOTE: At times, the front of the refrigerator cabinet
may be warm to the touch. This condition is normal
and helps prevent moisture from condensing on the cabinet. This
condition will be more noticeable when the refrigerator is first
started, during hot weather and after excessive or lengthy door
openings.
