Temperature
controls
The temperature controls are preset in the factory at
37°F
for the
fresh food compartment and
0°F
for the freezer compartment. Allow
24 hours for the temperature to stabilize to the preset recommended
settings.
The temperature controls can display both the
SET
temperature
as well as the actual temperature in the fresh food and freezer
compartments. The actual temperature may vary slightly from the
SET
temperature based on usage and operating environment.
Setting either or both controls to
OFF
stops cooling in both the freezer
and fresh food compartments, but does not shut off electrical power
to the refrigerator.
NOTE:
The refrigerator is shipped with protective film covering the
temperature controls. If this film was not removed during installation,
remove it now.
To change the temperature,
press and release
the
(warmer) or
(colder) pad. The SET
light will come on and the display will show the
set temperature. To change the temperature,
tap either the
(warmer) or
(colder)
pad until the desired temperature is displayed.
Fresh food temperatures can be adjusted
between 34°F and 44°F and the freezer
temperatures can be adjusted between
-6°F and +6°F.
Once the desired temperature has been set,
the temperature display will return to the
actual fresh food and freezer temperatures
after 5 seconds. Several adjustments may be
required. Each time you adjust controls,
allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to reach
the temperature you have set.
To turn the cooling system off,
tap the
(warmer) pad for either the fresh food
compartment or the freezer until the display
shows OFF.
To turn the unit back on,
press the
(colder) pad for either the fresh food
compartment or freezer. The SET light will
illuminate on the side you selected. Then press
the
(colder) pad again (on the side where
the SET light is illuminated) and it will go to
the preset points of 0°F for the freezer and
37°F for the fresh food compartment.
Operating Instructions
Stainless Steel Refrigerator
Performance
Air Flow
System
The Performance Air-Flow System is designed
to maximize temperature control in the fresh
food and freezer compartments. This unique
special feature consists of the Air Tower along
the top and back walls of the fresh food
compartment and the Air Tunnel on the
bottom portion of the freezer rear wall.
Placing food in front of the louvers on these
components will not affect performance.
Although the Air Tower and the Air Tunnel
can be removed, doing so will affect
temperature performance. (For removal
