Refrigerator Use
Using the Controls
Temperature Control Adjustment and Cooling On/Off
The refrigerator and freezer control buttons are located on the dispenser panel.
To turn cooling off, press and hold the LOCK and OPTIONS buttons at the same time for 3 seconds.
Press and hold LOCK and OPTIONS again to turn cooling on. Your refrigerator and freezer will not cool
when cooling is off.
IMPORTANT:
To avoid unintentionally locking the dispenser or changing other settings, be sure to
press both buttons at exactly the same time.
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 “mid-settings.”
To view set points, press the COOLING button on your dispenser panel. The factory recommended set
points are 0°F (-18°C) for the freezer and 37°F (3°C) for the refrigerator.
IMPORTANT:
Wait 24 hours before you put food into the refrigerator. If you add food before the refrigerator has
UÊÊ
cooled completely, your food may spoil.
NOTE: Adjusting the set points to a higher (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
UÊÊ
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
UÊÊ
when milk or juice is as cold as you like and when ice cream is firm.
Wait at least 24 hours between adjustments. Recheck the temperatures before other adjustments
UÊÊ
are made.
The display screen on the dispenser control panel has a backlight, which will turn off automatically
UÊÊ
when the control buttons have not been used for 30 seconds or more. When the backlight is off, the
first press of a control button will only reactivate the backlight, without changing any settings. Within
30 seconds after the backlight has been reactivated, additional presses of control buttons will change
the applicable settings.
