Before You Throw Away Your Old Refrigerator or Freezer:

Take off the doors.
Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb 

inside.

    

  

Using the Controls

The refrigerator and freezer controls are located on the dispenser 

panel.
IMPORTANT: The display screen on the dispenser control panel will 

turn off automatically and enter “sleep” mode when the control buttons 

and dispenser pads have not been used for 2 minutes or more. While in 

“sleep” mode, the first press of a control button will only reactivate the 

display screen without changing any settings. 

Touch any control button on the dispenser panel to activate the 

display screen. The home screen will appear as shown.  

Adjusting the Controls

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.” 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 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.

Wait at least 24 hours between adjustments. Recheck the 

temperatures before other adjustments are made.

To view and adjust the set points, press and hold the TEMP button for 

3 seconds. When adjust mode is activated, adjusting information will 

appear on the display screen. 

NOTE: To view Celsius temperatures, press the LIGHT button when 

adjust mode is activated. To return the display setting to Fahrenheit, 

press LIGHT again.

When adjust mode is activated, the display screen shows the 

refrigerator set point and “FRIDGE” appears. 
Press LOCK to raise the set point, or press OPTIONS to lower the 

set point.
When you have finished viewing (and adjusting if desired) the 

refrigerator set point, press TEMP to change the display to show 

the freezer set point. When the zone has been changed, 

“FREEZER” appears on the display screen.
Press LOCK to raise the set point, or press OPTIONS to lower the 

set point.
When you have finished viewing (and adjusting if desired) both the 

refrigerator and freezer set points, press MEASURED FILL to save 

the settings.  
NOTE: To exit without saving changes, press ICE TYPE at any time 

while in adjust mode, or allow about 60 seconds of inactivity and 

adjust mode will turn off automatically.

Important information to know about disposal of 

refrigerants:
Dispose of refrigerator in accordance with Federal and Local 

regulations. Refrigerants must be evacuated by a licensed, 

EPA certified refrigerant technician in accordance with 

established procedures.
