Refrigerator Operation Display touch pads COOLING OFF LOCKED PRESS 3 SEC PRESS 3 SEC DISPENSE WATER Control Panel AUTO ON Setting the Controls Temperature Controls The control panel is located on the front of the ice and water dispenser. To access the main control menu, press any of the four touch pads located on either side of the display. Then, touch the pad next to the desired option or user setting to access the various features. IMPORTANT: Press only the touch pads next to your selection on the display screen, not the selection itself. 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. 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. Press the touch pad next to "FRESH FOOD TEMP" on the main menu to display the current set point of the compartment. Press the touch pad next to "WARMER" or "COLDER" to adjust the set point to the recommended 38°F. Press the touch pad next to "Done" to lock in the setting. Press the touch pad next to "FREEZER TEMP" on the main menu to display the current set point of the compartment. Press the touch pad next to "WARMER" or "COLDER" to adjust the set point to the recommended 0°F. Press the touch pad next to "Done" to lock in the setting. Adjusting the refrigerator and freezer temperature controls to a colder than recommended setting will not cool the compartments any faster. 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. 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 Adjust Set Point Temperatures: If you need to adjust the temperature in either the refrigerator or freezer compartment, use the settings listed in the chart as a guide. The display will show the set point for approximately 3 seconds. Press the touch pad next to "WARMER" or "COLDER" to adjust the set point to the desired temperature. Then, press the touch pad next to "Done" to lock in the new set point temperature. Turning Cooling On or Off COOLING OFF controls all cooling functions, the control panel and the dispenser. It does not disconnect power to the refrigerator. Press and hold the COOLING OFF touch pad for three seconds. The LED will light up to indicate that cooling is off. Neither compartment will cool. COOLING OFF Press the COOLING OFF touch pad again to turn on the cooling. The LED will turn off. NOTE: At times, the front of the refrigerator cabinet PRESS 3 SEC may be warm to the touch. This condition is normal and helps prevent moisture from condensing on the cabinet. This condition will be more noticeable when the refrigerator is first started, during hot weather and after excessive or lengthy door openings. NOTE: Except when first turning on the refrigerator, do not adjust either temperature control more than one setting at a time. Wait 24 hours for the temperature to stabilize between adjustments.
