ALLOWING COOLING tImE BEfORE USE

To ensure safe food storage, allow your refrigerator to operate with the doors closed for at least 8 to 12 hours before placing food 
inside. During this cooling period, you do not need to adjust the controls, which are preset at the factory.

SEttING COOLING tEmPERAtURES

Your refrigerator comes with a state-of-the-art electronic digital control system. The system’s control panel is located at the top of 
the the fresh food compartment.
The two digital displays on the left half of the control panel indicate the current settings or temperatures of your freezer and fresh 
food compartments. The models with a 2-digit temperature display are for reference only, and do not display the current accurate 
compartment temperature.  Should you desire to see what the current accurate temperature is, place a separate thermometer 
inside the freezer or fresh food compartment in the desired location.

(Single Digit Display - Features may vary.)

The advanced electronic

refrigerator includes 
additional display modes 
that service professionals 
can use to rapidly diagnose

If ever you see both temperature displays continuously flashing, it may 
indicate that the control system has detected a performance problem. Call 
your service representative, 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.
