Adjusting Controls
The REFRIGERATOR control adjusts the refrigerator compartment
temperature. The FREEZER control adjusts the freezer
compartment temperature.
If you need to adjust the temperature in either the refrigerator or
freezer compartment, use the settings listed in the chart as a
guide.
To Adjust Set Point Temperatures:
The first touch of the up or down arrow touch pad displays the
current temperature set point.
■
Press the up or down arrow touch pads until the desired
temperature set point is displayed.
NOTE: Except when first turning on the refrigerator, do not
adjust either temperature control more than one setting at a
time. Wait 24 hours between adjustments for the temperature
to stabilize.
Cooling On/Off
IMPORTANT:
■
Depending on your model you may have a control center with
an On/Off button (Style 1), or you may have a control center
without an On/Off button (Style 2).
■
The On/Off control turns off cooling for both compartments
and turns off the dispenser. It does not disconnect power to
the refrigerator.
Style 1 – Press and hold the On/Off button for 3 seconds. The red
LED will light up to indicate that cooling is Off. Press On/Off again
to turn cooling back on. The LED will turn off.
Style 2 – Press the Freezer up arrow touch pad until OFF appears
in the display. Neither compartment will cool. Press the Freezer or
Refrigerator down arrow touch pad to turn cooling back on.
