REFRIGERATOR USE 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. After reactivation, changes to any settings can then be made. If no changes are made within 2 minutes, the display will re-enter "sleep" mode. ■ 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 FAST ICE 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 FAST ICE to lower the set point. ■ When you have finished viewing (and adjusting if desired) both the refrigerator and freezer set points, press FILTER 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. When adjusting temperature set points, use the following chart as a guide. CONDITION: TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT: REFRIGERATOR too cold REFRIGERATOR Setting 1° higher REFRIGERATOR too warm REFRIGERATOR Setting 1° lower FREEZER too cold FREEZER Setting 1° higher FREEZER too warm / Too little ice FREEZER Setting 1° lower The set point range for the refrigerator is 33°F to 45°F (0°C to 7°C). The set point range for the freezer is -5°F to 5°F (-21°C to -15°C). Cooling On/Off Your refrigerator and freezer will not cool when cooling is turned off. ■ To turn cooling off, press and hold the LOCK and FILTER buttons at the same time for 3 seconds. IMPORTANT: To avoid unintentionally locking the dispenser or changing other settings, be sure to press both buttons at exactly the same time. When cooling is off, "COOLING OFF" will appear on the display screen. ■ Press and hold LOCK and FILTER for 3 seconds again to turn cooling back on. 11
