COOL DOWN PERIOD

To ensure safe food storage, allow the fridge-freezer to operate with the doors closed for at least 6 hours before loading
it with food.

REFRIGERATOR & FREEZER CONTROLS

NOTE:

  When changing control settings, wait 24 hours before making additional adjustments.

After 24 hours, adjust the controls as
needed. Make your adjustments small
and gradual; allowing time for
temperatures to change and stabilize.
Refer to the adjacent guidelines for
temperature settings.

The range of possible settings is 

1

through 

9

, with 9 being the coldest.

Both the Freezer and Fresh Food
compartments are preset at the factory
to 5, the midpoint temperature setting.

To adjust the temperature to a higher or
lower setting, press the 

Warmer

 or

Colder

 button closest to the display. The

first time you press the button, the
display shows the last setting you
entered. Each press of the button after
that increments the setting by one.

The display shows your new setting
momentarily, then changes back to the
current temperature.

IF THE TEMPERATURE
DISPLAYS FLASH...

If ever you see both temperature displays
continously flashing, it may indicate that
the control system has detetcted a
performance problem. Call your local
Service Force Centre  who can interpret
the flashing message.

To maintain temperatures, a fan
circulates air in the refrigerator and
freezer compartments. For good
circulation, do not block cold air vents
with food items.
