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 TEMPERATURE 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 "REFRIGERATOR" 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 TEMPERATURE 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 MODE 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: REFRIGERATOR too cold REFRIGERATOR too warm FREEZER too cold FREEZER too warm / Too little ice TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT: REFRIGERATOR Setting 1° higher REFRIGERATOR Setting 1° lower FREEZER Setting 1° higher 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 MEASURED FILL 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, "REFRIGERATION COOLING IS OFF" will appear on the display screen. ■ Press and hold LOCK and MEASURED FILL for 3 seconds again to turn cooling back on. Additional Features Max Cool and Max Ice The Max Cool feature assists with periods of heavy ice usage, full grocery loads, or temporarily warm room temperatures. The Max Ice feature assists with temporary periods of heavy ice use by increasing ice production over a 24-hour period. ■ To turn on the Max Cool feature, press the OPTIONS button to enter Options mode, then press OPTIONS again to activate the feature. The Max Cool icon will appear on the dispenser display. The Max Cool feature will remain on for 24 hours unless manually turned off. To manually turn it off, press the OPTIONS button to enter Options mode (unless you are already in Options mode), then press OPTIONS again. When the feature has been turned off, the Max Cool icon will disappear on the dispenser display. ■ To turn on the Max Ice feature, press the OPTIONS button to enter Options mode, then press the TEMPERATURE button to activate the feature. The Max Ice icon will appear on the dispenser display. The Max Ice feature will remain on for 24 hours unless manually turned off. To manually turn it off, press the OPTIONS button to enter Options mode (unless you are already in Options mode), then press TEMPERATURE. When the feature has been turned off, the Max Ice icon will disappear on the dispenser display. When Max Cool and/or Max Ice are active, the temperature display will not change. After 24 hours, the refrigerator returns to the previous temperature set points. NOTE: If increased ice production is desired at all times, change the freezer control to a lower setting. Setting the freezer to a colder temperature may make some foods, such as ice cream, harder. 11
