 ELECTRONIC TEMPERATURE CONTROLS

ALLOWING COOLING TIME BEFORE USE

To ensure safe food storage, allow your refrigerator to operate with the doors closed for at least 8 to 12 hours before placing food inside.
During this cooling period, you do not need to adjust the controls, which are preset at the factory.

SETTING COOLING TEMPERATURES

Your refrigerator comes with a state-of-the-art electronic digital control system. The system’s control panel is located at the top of the
fresh food compartment.
The two digital displays on the left half of the control panel indicate the current settings or temperatures of your freezer and fresh
food compartments. The models with a 2-digit temperature display are for reference only, and do not display the current accurate
compartment temperature. Should you desire to see what the current accurate temperature is, place a separate thermometer inside the
freezer or fresh food compartment in the desired location.

(Single Digit Display - Features may vary)

NOTE
The advanced electronic control system in your refrigerator includes additional display modes that service professionals can use to
rapidly diagnose performance issues.

To adjust the temperature to a higher or lower setting, press the Up

(Cold) or Down (Colder) button closest to the display. The first time
you press the button, the display shows current setting you entered.
Each press of the button after that changes the setting by one.
The display shows your new setting momentarily, and then changes
back to the current temperature.

 TEMPERATURE CONTROLS

TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT
After 24 hours, adjust the controls as needed. Make your adjustments small and gradual; allowing time for temperatures to change and
stabilize. Refer to the adjacent guidelines for temperature settings.
To adjust the temperature to a higher or lower setting, press the Up or Down button closest to the display. The first time you press the
button, the display shows the last setting you entered. Each press of the button after that increments the setting by one degree.
The display shows your new setting momentarily, and then changes back to the current temperature.

IF TEMPERATURE DISPLAYS FLASH...

If ever you see both temperature displays continuously flashing, it may indicate that the control system has detected a performance
problem. Call your service representative, who can interpret the flashing message.
To maintain temperatures, a fan circulates air in the refrigerator and freezer compartments. For good circulation, do not block cold air
vents with food items.

 TEMPERATURE CONTROLS

Cooling System On/Off Button Indicator Lights

TURNING THE COOLING SYSTEM ON AND OFF

You can disable the cooling system in your refrigerator by pressing the On/Off button located on the left side of the temperature control
panel. To ensure that you do not accidentally turn off the cooling system, the button does not work unless you press and hold it for three
seconds. Once you disable the cooling system, all refrigeration to the freezer and fresh food compartments stops. To turn the cooling
system back on, you must again press and hold the On/Off button for three more seconds.

NOTE
Pressing the On/Off button on the control panel disables your refrigerator’s cooling system but does not disconnect power to lights
and other electrical components. To turn off power to your refrigerator you must unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
Each time you make settings on the control panel, a single audible tone acknowledges your input.

RESPONDING TO ALARMS (Audible Tones & Indicator Lights)

Your refrigerator’s control system can convey the following information through audible tones and the alarm indicator lights.

possible and seal them tightly. Trapped air can cause
food to dry out, change color, and develop an off flavor
(freezer burn).
• Wrap fresh meats and poultry with suitable freezer wrap
prior to freezing.
• Do not refreeze meat that has completely thawed.
Loading the Freezer
• Avoid adding too much warm food to the freezer at
one time. This overloads the freezer, slows the rate of
freezing, and can raise the temperature of frozen foods.
• Leave a space between the packages, so cold air can
circulate freely, allowing food to freeze as quickly as
possible.
• Avoid storing hard-to-freeze foods such as ice cream
and orange juice on the freezer door shelves. These
foods are best stored in the freezer interior where the
temperature varies less.

 CARE & CLEANING

Keeping your refrigerator clean maintains appearance and prevents odor build-up. Wipe up any spills immediately and clean the freezer
and fresh food compartments at least twice a year. When cleaning, take the following precautions:

NOTE
Do not use abrasive cleaners such as window sprays, scouring cleansers, flammable fluids, cleaning waxes, concentrated detergents,
bleaches or cleansers containing petroleum products on plastic parts, interior doors, gaskets or cabinet liners. Do not use paper
towels, scouring pads, or other abrasive cleaning materials.
• Never use metallic scouring pads, brushes, abrasive cleaners or strong alkaline solutions on any surface.
• Never use CHLORIDE or cleaners with bleach to clean stainless steel.
• Do not wash any removable parts in a dishwasher.
• Always unplug the electrical power cord from the wall outlet before cleaning.

NOTE
If you set your temperature controls to turn off cooling, power to lights and other electrical components will continue until you unplug
the power cord from the wall outlet.
• Remove adhesive labels by hand. Do not use razor blades or other sharp instruments which can scratch the appliance surface.
• Do not remove the serial plate.

CAUTION
• Pull the refrigerator straight out to move it. Shifting it from side to side may damage flooring. Be careful not to move the
refrigerator beyond the plumbing connections.
• Damp objects stick to cold metal surfaces. Do not touch refrigerated surfaces with wet or damp hands.

IMPORTANT
If you store or move your refrigerator in freezing temperatures, be sure to completely drain the water supply system. Failure to do so
could result in water leaks when the refrigerator is put back into service. Contact a service representative to perform this operation.

Refer to the guide on the next page for details on caring and cleaning specific areas of your refrigerator.
