■

Wait 24 hours before you put food into the refrigerator. 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.

Turning Refrigerator On

■

If the refrigerator is off, press ON/OFF to turn the cooling on.

■

To turn your refrigerator off, press ON/OFF. Your refrigerator
will not cool when the control is set to Off.

NOTE: Pressing the On/Off button does not disconnect power
to the refrigerator. The interior lights will turn off if either
compartment door is open for more than 10 minutes. Simply
close and open the door to turn on the interior lights.

Viewing Set Points

The factory recommended set points are 0°F (-18°C) for the
freezer and 37°F (3°C) for the refrigerator.
Set point range for the freezer: -6° to 6°F (-21°C to -14°C)
Set point range for the refrigerator: 32° to 46°F (0°C to 8°C)
To view the set point temperatures, press either the up or down
button for the refrigerator or freezer temperature. The display will
become brighter to indicate that you are viewing the set points.
Five seconds after an adjustment is made, the display lights will
dim and return to the actual temperature.
NOTE: During automatic defrost cycles, the actual temperature
displayed may be higher than the set point. This is normal. The
actual temperatures should return to the set points within a few
hours following completion of the defrost cycle.

Adjusting Controls

The mid-settings indicated in the previous section should be
correct for normal household refrigerator usage. The controls are
set correctly when milk or juice is as cold as you like and when ice
cream is firm.
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.
If you need to adjust temperatures, use the settings listed in the
chart below as a guide. Wait at least 24 hours between
adjustments.

Additional Control Panel Features

Temp Mode

Press the °C button to select either Celsius or Fahrenheit

added. Max Cold sets the refrigerator temperature to 34°F (1°C)
and the freezer temperature to -6°F (-21°C) for 24 hours.

temperature set points. After 24 hours or when Max Cold is
manually turned off, the set points will be returned to their
previous setting.

■

Press MAX COLD to select this mode. Max Cold will stay on
for 24 hours or until it is manually turned off.

Convertible Drawer Temperature Control

The control can be adjusted to properly chill meats or vegetables.
The air inside the pan is cooled to avoid “spot” freezing and can
be set to keep meats at the National Livestock and Meat Board
recommended storage temperatures of 28° to 32°F (-2° to 0°C).
The convertible drawer temperature control is preset to the
PRODUCE setting.

To Store Meat:

Set the control to one of the three MEAT settings to store meat at
its optimal storage temperature.

To Store Vegetables:

Set the control to PRODUCE to store vegetables at their optimal
storage temperatures.
NOTE: If food starts to freeze, move the control to the left (less
cold). Remember to wait 24 hours between adjustments.

Crisper Humidity Control

(on some models)

You can control the amount of humidity in the moisture-sealed
crisper. Adjust the control to any setting between LOW and HIGH.
LOW (open) for best storage of fruits and vegetables with skins.
HIGH (closed) for best storage of fresh, leafy vegetables.

The door air control is located on the left-hand side of the
refrigerator compartment.

■

Slide the door air control to the left to reduce the flow of cold
air to the bin or can rack and make it less cold.
