Controls and Features

Temperature control

The temperature display shows the actual temperature of the double-drawer refrigerator. The actual temperature may vary slightly from the set temperature based on factors such as drawer opening, amount of food and room temperature.

To change the temperature setting, press the WARMER or COLDER pads until you reach the desired set temperature. After 5 seconds, the display will return to the actual temperature.

Allow 12–24 hours for the double-drawer refrigerator to reach the temperature you have set.

Temperature Settings

• Minimum: 34°F (1.1°C)
• Maximum: 45°F (7.2°C)

Child control lockout

This child control lockout feature prevents unwanted changes to your temperature settings.

After the desired temperature is set, the temperature can be locked. To lock, press both the + and – pads at the same time for five seconds. To unlock, press both + and – pads for five seconds.

Unit ON/OFF

This pad stops cooling in the double-drawer refrigerator, turns off the temperature controls and removes power to the light circuit.

Press this pad for a minimum of 3 seconds to turn the double-drawer refrigerator on or off or unplug the unit for long vacations or absences, or when cleaning the unit or changing the light bulb.

Interior fan

The interior fan located in the rear wall of the double-drawer refrigerator may run for extended periods due to usage and ambient temperature. This is normal. See Normal operating sounds in Problem Solver section for additional information about the fans. The interior fan will turn off when the drawer is opened.

Glass divider

The top drawer has a moveable, tempered glass divider for separating and organizing foods. The divider can be placed in one of two locations.

To remove the divider, lift up until divider clears the rear and front retaining slots.

To replace the divider, slide into one of the divider locations.

The glass divider is dishwasher safe, top rack only.

Snugger

The snugger attached to the glass divider helps prevent tipping, spilling or sliding of small items when the top drawer is opened. Lift the lockdown lever near the top of the snugger, then move it to fit your needs. Press the lever down to lock the snugger in place.

The snugger is dishwasher safe, top rack only.

Assembly instructions

To remove: Lift the glass divider assembly out of the drawer by grasping the glass divider and snugger where the lever is located. Sit the assembly on a sturdy surface. Lift the lever. Slide the snugger off the glass divider. Remove the lever from the snugger by lifting the lever up and sliding it down and out of the assembly. NOTE: The glass divider, snugger and lever can be cleaned on the top rack of a dishwasher.

To replace or relocate: Reassemble lever into snugger by sliding the lever up into place. Slide glass divider into the snugger. The lever must be installed before sliding the divider into the snugger. Put the glass divider assembly in the desired divider location in the top drawer.

Shelf

The top drawer features a shelf that can fold down for storage of smaller containers, or fold up for storage of larger items on the drawer bottom.

To fold up the shelf, lift to the right until it rests in place against the right side.

The shelf is dishwasher safe, top rack only.

Food storage pan

The bottom drawer offers a pan for storage of smaller items. The pan slides easily to allow storage of and access to larger items in the drawer below.

The pan can be removed, allowing you to carry food to the countertop for preparation or to allow storage space for large food items.

The food storage pan is dishwasher safe, top rack only.

Drawer lights

The brilliant full-width LED lighting in either drawer illuminates when the drawer is opened.

Care and Cleaning

Troubleshooting Tips

Normal operating sounds.

HUMMM…WHOOSH...

• The new high efficiency compressor may run faster and longer than your old refrigerator and you may hear a high-pitched hum or pulsating sound while it is operating.
• Sometimes the refrigerator runs for an extended period, especially when the doors are opened frequently. This means that the Frost Guard™ feature is working to prevent freezer burn and improve food preservation.
• You may hear a whooshing sound when the doors close. This is due to pressure equalizing within the refrigerator.

• You may hear the fans spinning at high speeds. This happens when the refrigerator is first plugged in, when the doors are opened frequently or when a large amount of food is added to the refrigerator or freezer compartments. The fans are helping to maintain the correct temperatures.
• If either door is open for over 3 minutes, you may hear the fans come on in order to cool the light bulbs.
• The fans change speeds in order to provide optimal cooling and energy savings.

CLICKS, POPS, CRACKS and SNAPS

• You may hear cracking or popping sounds when the refrigerator is first plugged in. This happens as the refrigerator cools to the correct temperature.
• Electronic dampers click open and closed to provide optimal cooling and energy savings.
• The compressor may cause a clicking or chirping sound when attempting to restart (this could take up to 5 minutes).
• The electronic control board may cause a clicking sound when relays activate to control refrigerator components.
• Expansion and contraction of cooling coils during and after defrost can cause a cracking or popping sound.
• On models with an icemaker, after an icemaking cycle, you may hear the ice cubes dropping into the ice bucket.

WATER SOUNDS

• The flow of refrigerant through the freezer cooling coils may make a gurgling noise like boiling water.
• Water dropping on the defrost heater can cause a sizzling, popping or buzzing sound during the defrost cycle.
• A water dripping noise may occur during the defrost cycle as ice melts from the evaporator and flows into the drain pan.
• Closing the door may cause a gurgling sound due to pressure equalization.
