REFRIGERATOR USE
Using the Controls
Your฀refrigerator฀has฀two฀controls฀that฀affect฀the฀temperature.฀The฀
Temperature฀control฀is฀located฀at฀the฀top฀front฀of฀the฀refrigerator฀
compartment฀and฀the฀Airflow฀control฀is฀located฀on฀the฀back฀wall฀
of฀the฀freezer฀compartment.
IMPORTANT:฀
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.
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.
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.
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฀preset฀as฀shown.
Recommended฀Setting฀
Cooling฀Off/On
To฀turn฀cooling฀off,฀press฀and฀hold฀TEMP฀SETTING฀for฀
4seconds฀until฀all฀lights฀turn฀on฀for฀1฀second.฀To฀turn฀cooling฀
back฀on,฀press฀and฀hold฀TEMP฀SETTING฀again฀for฀4seconds.฀
NOTE:฀Neither฀compartment฀will฀cool฀when฀the฀control฀is฀set฀to฀
OFF.฀฀฀
Adjusting฀the฀Temperature฀Control
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.
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.฀
Press฀TEMP฀SETTING฀to฀toggle฀between฀the฀four฀LED฀lights฀
which฀indicate฀the฀temperature฀setting.฀Reading฀from฀left฀to฀
right,฀the฀LED฀in฀the฀first฀position฀is฀the฀least฀cold.฀The฀LEDs฀
indicate฀increasingly฀colder฀settings฀as฀you฀continue฀to฀the฀
right฀until฀all฀four฀LEDs฀are฀illuminated.฀
NOTE:฀For฀the฀first฀to฀fourth฀setting,฀only฀one฀LED฀of฀the฀four฀
LEDs฀will฀be฀lit.฀All฀four฀LEDs฀will฀be฀lit฀when฀you฀have฀
reached฀the฀coldest฀setting.฀
Additional฀Feature฀
PowerCold฀฀Feature฀
The฀PowerCold฀฀feature฀sets฀the฀freezer฀and฀refrigerator฀to฀the฀
lowest฀temperature฀settings฀to฀assist฀with฀periods฀of฀high฀
refrigerator฀use,฀full฀grocery฀loads,฀or฀temporarily฀warm฀room฀
temperatures.฀
To฀turn฀on฀the฀PowerCold฀฀feature,฀press฀TEMP฀SETTING฀
continually฀until฀all฀the฀LED฀lights฀are฀blinking฀on/off฀
progressively฀from฀left฀to฀right.฀Press฀TEMP฀SETTING฀again฀to฀
return฀to฀the฀COLD฀set฀point.
NOTE:฀Depending฀on฀the฀environment฀conditions,฀the฀
PowerCold฀฀feature฀will฀remain฀activated฀up฀to฀24฀hours.฀When฀
the฀feature฀turns฀off,฀the฀temperature฀will฀return฀to฀the฀
recommended฀set฀point.฀
Airflow฀Control
The฀Airflow฀control฀regulates฀the฀amount฀of฀air฀flowing฀between฀
the฀freezer฀and฀the฀refrigerator฀compartments.฀
When฀you฀plug฀in฀the฀refrigerator฀for฀the฀first฀time,฀turn฀the฀Airflow฀
control฀to฀the฀Recommended฀setting.฀
Adjusting฀the฀Airflow฀Control
If฀you฀want฀to฀temporarily฀increase฀the฀cold฀airflow฀to฀a฀specific฀
compartment,฀adjust฀the฀control.
Max฀-฀Increase฀airflow฀to฀the฀freezer.
Min฀-฀Increase฀airflow฀to฀the฀refrigerator.
IMPORTANT:฀Once฀the฀performance฀is฀achieved,฀return฀the฀
Airflow฀control฀to฀the฀Recommended฀setting฀to฀keep฀the฀
refrigerator฀operating฀at฀optimum฀efficiency.฀
