Using the Controls The control center is located at the top front of the refrigerator compartment. CONDITION/REASON: Temperature Controls REFRIGERATOR too warm For your convenience, your temperature controls are preset at the factory. When you first install your refrigerator, make sure the controls are still set to the recommended set points as shown. Recommended Settings FREEZER too warm/too little ice REFRIGERATOR too cold FREEZER too cold ADJUSTMENT: REFRIGERATOR Control 1° lower Adjust FREEZER Control 1° lower Adjust REFRIGERATOR Control 1° higher Adjust FREEZER Control 1° higher IMPORTANT: ■ The recommended settings should be correct for normal household refrigerator use. The controls are set correctly when milk or juice is as cold as you like and when ice cream is firm. ■ When the power is on, the temperature display shows the set point temperature of the compartment. ■ Wait 24 hours for your refrigerator to cool completely before adding food. If you add food before the refrigerator has cooled completely, your food may spoil. NOTE: Adjusting the refrigerator and freezer temperature controls 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. To Turn Your Refrigerator Off/On: ■ Press the freezer (+) touch pad repeatedly until "OFF" appears in the freezer display. Allow a few seconds for the refrigerator to shut off. Neither compartment will cool. ■ Press either the refrigerator or freezer (-) touch pad to turn on the refrigerator. 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 (+) or (-) touch pad displays the current temperature set point. ■ Press the (+) or (-) 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. Additional Control Center Features Max Ice The Max Ice feature assists with temporary periods of heavy ice use by increasing ice production. ■ Press the Max Ice feature touch pad to set the freezer to the lowest temperature setting. Press the Max Ice feature touch pad again to return to the normal freezer set point. NOTE: The Max Ice feature will automatically shut off in approximately 24 hours. Humidity Control The Humidity Control feature turns on a heater to help reduce moisture on the door hinge seal. Use in humid environments or when you notice moisture on the door hinge seal. The refrigerator uses more energy when Humidity Control is on. ■ Press Humidity Control when the environment is warm and more humid, or if you notice moisture on the door hinge seal. The indicator light will be lit when humidity control is ON. ■ Press Humidity Control to save energy when the environment is less humid. Temp Alarm The Temp Alarm feature provides temperature information in the event of a power outage. Power outage: During a power outage, if the temperatures in the refrigerator and freezer compartments exceed normal operating temperatures, the highest temperature reached will be displayed. ■ Press the Temp Alarm touch pad until the indicator light is lit, to turn on this feature. Press and hold Temp Alarm for 3 seconds until the indicator light goes off to turn off this feature. Temperature alarm: An alarm will sound repeatedly if the freezer or refrigerator compartment temperatures exceed normal operating temperatures for an hour or more. The temperature displays will alternately show the current temperatures and the highest temperatures the compartments reached. 9
