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.)
TEMPErATUrE ADJUSTMENT
To adjust the temperature to a higher or lower
setting, press the
Up
(Cold)
or
Down (Colder)
button closest to the display. The first time you
press the button, the display shows current
setting you entered. Each press of the button
after that changes the setting by one.
The display shows your new setting momentarily,
then changes back to the current temperature.
IF TEMPErATUrE DISPLAyS FLASH...
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.
