Using the Controls IMPORTANT: ■ Wait 24 hours after you turn on the refrigerator before you put food into it. If you add food before the refrigerator has cooled completely, your food may spoil. NOTE: Adjusting the refrigerator and freezer controls to a lower (colder) 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 recommended temperatures 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. ■ The actual temperature may differ from the display when a door is open for an extended period of time. NOTE: The factory recommended set points are 0°F (-18°C) for the freezer and 37°F (3°C) for the refrigerator. Turning Refrigerator On and Viewing Set Points ■ Press and hold POWER for 2 seconds. NOTE: The set point range for the freezer is -5°F to 6°F (-21°C to -14°C). The set point range for the refrigerator is 34°F to 46°F (1°C to 8°C).

The Super indicator light will remain on for 24 hours unless manually turned off. Viewing the Celsius Temperatures ■ To change the display to view temperature settings in degrees Celsius, press F/C. To display degrees Fahrenheit, press F/C again. NOTE: If the freezer temperature is below zero, the negative sign next to the freezer display will light up. This is normal. Adjusting Controls NOTES: ■ To automatically set both controls to the recommended temperature, press R. ■ Adjust the temperature, up or down, just 1 degree at a time. Wait at least 24 hours between adjustments. Recheck the temperatures before other adjustments are made. To adjust set point temperatures: ■ Press the refrigerator or freezer PLUS (+) or MINUS (-) until the desired temperature is reached. NOTE: The temperature display will remain at 34°F (1°C) and -5°F (-21°C) for the refrigerator and freezer compartments, respectively, while the Super feature is on. After 24 hours, the refrigerator returns to the previous temperature set points. Alarm Functions Master Alarm Reset Pressing Alarm Reset once will turn off the audio alarm and indicator light. The audio alarm will not sound again for the current condition that caused the alarm until a new condition occurs or until a Master Alarm Reset is performed. A Master Alarm Reset can be performed by pressing Cooling (ON/OFF) twice or by turning the power to the refrigerator off and on again. See "Power On/Off Switch." After performing a Master Alarm Reset, the indicator light will reactivate if the condition that caused the alarm is still present. See "Over Temperature," "Call Service," or "Door Open." 7
