Using the Controls
IMPORTANT:
■
The refrigerator control adjusts the refrigerator compartment
temperature. The freezer control adjusts the freezer
compartment temperature.
■
Wait 24 hours after you turn on the refrigerator before you put
food into it. If you add food before the refrigerator has cooled
completely, your food may spoil.
NOTE: Adjusting the refrigerator and freezer controls to a
lower (colder) setting will not cool the compartments any
faster.
■
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.
■
The preset settings should be correct for normal household
usage. The controls are set correctly when milk or juice is as
cold as you like and when ice cream is firm.
■
The actual temperature may differ from the display when a
door is open for an extended period of time.
NOTE: The factory recommended set points are 0°F (-18°C) for
the freezer and 37°F (3°C) for the refrigerator.
Turning Refrigerator On and Viewing Set Points
■
Press the Cooling (ON/OFF) touch pad.
NOTES:
■
After the refrigerator is turned on, the Over Temperature audio
alarm and indicator light may activate every 1
¹⁄₂
hours until the
refrigerator and freezer temperatures are below 48°F (9°C) and
15°F (-9°C), respectively, or until the alarm is turned off. To
turn off the audio alarm and indicator light, see “Master Alarm
Reset.”
■
The ON/OFF touch pad on the control panel shuts down
refrigerator functions such as cooling, lighting, fans and
compressors. To turn the power off completely, use the power
ON/OFF switch located behind the top grille. See “Power On/
Off Switch.”
Viewing the Celsius Temperatures
■
Press F/C touch pad. To redisplay degrees Fahrenheit, press
F/C again.
NOTE: If the freezer temperature is below zero, the negative sign
next to the freezer display will light up. This is normal.
Adjusting Controls
NOTE: Wait at least 24 hours between adjustments. Recheck the
temperatures before other adjustments are made.
To Adjust Set Point Temperatures:
■
Press the refrigerator or freezer PLUS (+) or MINUS (-) touch
pad until the desired temperature is reached.
■
Press the “Set to Recommended” touch pad to reset the set
points to the factory recommended temperatures.
NOTE: The set point range for the freezer is -5°F to 5°F
(-21°C to -15°C). The set point range for the refrigerator is
33°F to 45°F (0°C to 7°C).
Water Filter Indicator & Reset
See “Water Filter Indicator.”
Max Cold
The Max Cold feature assists with periods of heavy ice usage, full
grocery loads, or temporarily warm room temperatures.
■
Press MAX COLD to turn on the Max Cold feature. The Max
Cold indicator light will remain on for 24 hours unless manually
turned off.
NOTE: The temperature display will remain at 34°F (1°C) and -5°F
(-21°C) for the refrigerator and freezer compartments,
respectively, while the Max Cold feature is enabled. After
24 hours, the refrigerator returns to the previous temperature set
points.
Rest Mode
The Rest Mode feature is designed for the traveler or for those
whose religious observances require turning off the lights and ice
maker. By selecting this feature, the temperature set points and
Deli Pan settings remain unchanged, the ice maker will be
disabled and the interior lights will turn off. For most efficient
refrigerator operation, it is recommended to exit the Rest Mode
when it is no longer required.
■
Press REST MODE to turn on the Rest Mode feature. This
feature will remain on until Rest Mode is pressed again.
NOTE: If the Max Cold feature has been selected prior to turning
on the Rest Mode feature, then the set points will remain at 34°F
(1°C) and -5°F (-21°C) for the refrigerator and freezer
compartments, respectively, until the Max Cold feature times out.
The refrigerator will then return to the previous temperature set
points chosen prior to the selection of the Max Cold feature, but
the lights and ice maker will remain off until the Rest Mode is
pressed again.
