Using the Controls
Viewing and Adjusting Temperature Set Points
For your convenience, your refrigerator and freezer controls are
preset at the factory.
When you first install your refrigerator, make sure that the
controls are still set to the recommended set points. The factory
recommended set points are 37°F (3°C) for the refrigerator and
0°F (-18°C) for the freezer.
IMPORTANT:
■
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 set points to a colder-than-
recommended 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 recommended settings should be correct for normal
household use. The controls are set correctly when milk or
juice is as cold as you like and when ice cream is firm.
NOTE:
Areas such as a garage, basement, or porch may have
higher humidity or extreme temperatures. You may need to
adjust the temperature away from the recommended settings
to accommodate for these conditions.
■
Wait at least 24 hours between adjustments. Recheck the
temperatures before other adjustments are made.

Extend-Freeze™
This feature acts on the most-relevant storage parameters that
must be controlled to minimize moisture migration from frozen
food. This in turn reduces the freezer burn occurrence.
To turn on the Extend-Freeze™ feature, toggle to the coldest
Freezer temperature set point.
To turn off the Extend-Freeze™ feature, toggle from the coldest
freezer set point to any other temperature.
The Temperature Control UI is located above the external
dispenser and on the side of the left refrigerator door.
