ENSURING PROPER AIR CIRCULATION In order to ensure proper temperatures, air must flow between the refrigerator and freezer sections. As shown in the illustration below, air enters at top of the freezer and circulates down. From bottom of the freezer, air is forced up to top of refrigerator. Air enters refrigerator through top vent, then circulates and exists at bottom, where it returns to freezer. MULTI-FLOW Multi-Flow means powerful and effective cooling operation. This is especially noticeable when new food is placed in the refrigerator compartment. If water or foreign substances enter the cool air vent while cleaning, efficiency will be lowered. In addition, if gasket is damaged, efficiency may be lowered because of escaping cool air. SETTING THE CONTROLS IMPORTANT: Wipe out moisture before using the display button as operation of the button is based on touch sensing method and becomes slow or other buttons may operate if moisture is stuck to the surface of the button. Your refrigerator has a control pad on the dispenser that lets you regulate the temperature in the freezer and refrigerator compartments. Initially set the REFRIGERATOR CONTROL at 37 °F (3 °C) and the FREEZER CONTROL at 0 °F (-18 °C). Leave it at this setting for 24 hours (one day) to stabilize. Then adjust the compartment temperature as desired. Refrigerator Temp Control: 33 °F to 46 °F (0 °C to 8 °C) The lower the number setting, the colder the refrigerator compartment will become. Freezer Temp Control: -6°F to 8 °F (-21 °C to-13 °C) When the setting is at a lower number, the freezer compartment becomes colder. The refrigerator compartment becomes warmer because less cold air flows into the refrigerator. Do not block any of cool air vents with food packages. If the vents are blocked, airflow will be interrupted and temperature and moisture problems may occur. IMPORTANT: Because air circulates between both sections, any odors formed in one section will transfer to the other. You must thoroughly clean both sections to eliminate odors. To prevent odor transfer and drying out of food, wrap or cover foods tightly. (See the Food Storage Guide section for details.) DOOR ALARM With this feature you'll listen a alarm when the freezer or refrigerator door is not closed within 1 minute after it is opened. These tones repeat every 30 seconds. The alarm is cancelled when the freezer or the refrigerator is closed correctly. Alarm Press the ALARM button _ once to activate and deactivate the door alarm function. 16 NOTE: If you want to change °F to °C or the reverse, press and hold FREEZER key and REFRIGERATOR key simultaneously for 5 seconds or more. Ultra Ice : Press the Ultra Ice button and the LED will turn on. This function will remain activated for 24 hours and increase the cooling speed of the freezer and the amount of ice produced. Dispenser Lock : Press and hold the LOCK button for 3 seconds to lock the dispenser and all of the other control panel functions. When it is locked, the dispenser will not operate. To unlock, press and hold the LOCK button for 3 seconds. Filter Reset : When the FILTER RESETicon turns on, you have to change the water filter.
