Using the Controls
IMPORTANT:
■ 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.
NOTE: Adjusting the refrigerator and freezer temperature
controls to a colder than recommended setting will not cool
the compartments any faster.
■ The recommended setting 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.
Control Panel
Depending on your model, your refrigerator has either an internal
control panel, located at the top of the refrigerator compartment,
or an external control panel, located above the external water
dispenser. Follow the instructions specific to your model.
Internal Control Panel
External Control Panel
IMPORTANT (External Control only): The display screen on the
dispenser control panel will turn off automatically and enter “sleep”
mode when the control buttons and dispenser paddles have not
been used for 2 minutes or more. While in “sleep” mode, the first
press of a control button will only reactivate the display screen,
without changing any settings. After reactivation, changes to any
settings can then be made. If no changes are made within
2 minutes, the display will re-enter “sleep” mode.
■ Touch any control button on the dispenser panel to activate
the display screen.
Temperature Control
For your convenience, the temperature control is preset at the
factory. When you first install your refrigerator, make sure the
control is still set to the recommended setting as shown.
Recommended Setting “3 Snowflakes”
Adjusting the Controls
If you need to adjust the temperature in either the refrigerator
or freezer compartment, use the settings listed in the following
chart as a guide.
■ Press the Temp button to display the desired number
of snowflakes from 1 snowflake (least cold) to all
5 snowflakes (coldest).
NOTE: Except when starting the refrigerator, do not adjust the
control more than one setting at a time. Wait 24 hours between
adjustments for the temperature to stabilize.
Cooling On/Off
Your refrigerator and freezer will not cool when cooling is
turned off. Follow the directions specific to your model.
Internal Control Panel
■ To turn cooling off, press and hold both the Fast Cool
and Moisture Control buttons at the same time for 3 seconds.
When cooling is OFF, “Cooling Off” will appear on the display
screen.
■ To turn cooling back on, press and hold both the Fast Cool
