*Features may vary according to model
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 refrigerator compartment. The two digital displays on the left half of the control panel indicate the current settings of your freezer and refrigerator compartments. Should you desire to see what the current accurate temperature is, place a separate thermometer inside the freezer or refrigerator compartment in the desired location
TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT
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 current setting you entered. Each press of the button after that changes the setting by one.
Temperature Adjustment
- If refrigerator compartment is too warm
- Adjust refrigerator control one degree colder by pressing up (∧) button.
- If refrigerator compartment is too cold
- Adjust refrigerator control one degree warmer by pressing the down (∨) button.
- If Freezer compartment is too warm
- Adjust Freezer control one degree colder by pressing up (∧) button.
- If Freezer compartment is too cold
- Adjust Freezer control one degree warmer by pressing the down (∨) button.
IF TEMPERATURE DISPLAYS FLASH...
If ever you see “OP” or “SH” 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.
Alarms
Power Fail
In the event of a power failure, the power fail alert will be illuminated. Press alarm reset to acknowledge the alarm. Other modes may be turned off until the alarm is acknowledged.
High Temperature
When a warm refrigerator is first powered on, the ‘power fail’ alarm will sound and the current set points will be displayed for a few seconds. After 20 minutes the ‘high temp’ alarm will sound if the freezer temperature is above 26°F or if the refrigerator temperature is above 55°F (or both are above).
If the unit is above the temperatures mentioned in the paragraph above, the affected compartment temperature display (refrigerator, freezer or both) on the control panel will display ‘HI’ and an alarm will sound. To disable the alarm press any key on the control panel. After which the control panel will then show the display temperature. The unit will continue to monitor the product temperatures for ‘high temp’ condition every 20 minutes. If the ‘high temp’ condition persists, the alarm will sound again and can be reset again. Contact a customer service representative if the high temp alarm continues.
The audible portion of the alarm will silence itself once the product temperature is below 26°F for the freezer temperature and 55°F for the refrigerator temperature. The control panel will still show ‘HI’ until it is acknowledged by the user by pressing any key on the control panel. After which the control panel will then show the display temperature.
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 refrigerator compartments stops. To turn the cooling system back on, you must again press and hold the On/Off button for three more seconds. Controls will display OF°F/OF°F when turned off
STORAGE FEATURES
Glass Shelf Adjustment
Refrigerator shelves are easily adjusted to suit individual needs. Before adjusting the shelves, remove all food. Shelves are supported at the back of the refrigerator.
To adjust shelves:
1 Lift front edge up.
2 Pull shelf out.
Replace the shelf by inserting the hooks at rear of the shelf into the wall bracket. Lower the shelf into the desired slots and lock into position
Door storage
Door bins and shelves are provided for convenient storage of jars, bottles, and cans. Frequently used items can be quickly selected. Some models have door bins that can accommodate gallon-sized plastic drink containers and economy-sized jars and containers. Some bins are adjustable for maximum storage capacity. The dairy compartment, which is warmer than the general food storage section, is intended for short term storage of cheese, spreads, or butter.
Fresh Drawers with Humidity Control (some models)
The fresh drawers, located under the bottom refrigerator shelf, are designed for storing fruits,vegetables, and other fresh produce. The fresh drawers feature humidity control which allows you to adjust the humidity within the drawer. This can extend the life of fresh vegetables that keep best in high humidity. Wash items in clear water and remove excess water before placing them in the crispers. Items with strong odors or high moisture content should be wrapped before storing.
Crispers
Crispers allow you the flexibility to store any manner of items including fruits, vegetables, nuts, etc. Crispers do not feature humidity controls.

Priming the water supply system
Your refrigerator’s water supply system includes several tubing lines, an advanced water filter, a distribution valve bank, and a reserve tank (some models) to ensure ample supply to the ice and water dispenser at all times. This system needs to be completely filled with water when first connected to an external supply line.
To prime the water supply system:
- Begin filling the system by pressing and holding a drinking glass against the water dispenser paddle.
- Keep the glass in this position until water comes out of the dispenser. It may take about 1½ minutes.
- Continue dispensing water for about four minutes to flush the system and plumbing connections of any impurities (stopping to empty the glass as necessary).
Ice maker operation & care
After the refrigerator is installed properly and has cooled for several hours, the ice maker can produce ice within 24 hours. The ice maker will fill the ice bin from the rear. You must dispense some ice to force the ice forward in the bin. This will allow the bin to fill completely.
Ice Production: What to Expect
How Much Ice Will a Side Mounted Ice Maker Produce in 24 Hours?
A side mounted ice maker will produce 4 to 4.5 pounds of ice every 24 hours, depending on usage conditions. Ice is produced at a rate of 8 cubes every 75 to 90 minutes
Using the ice maker after installation
Before making ice for the first time, be sure to prime the water supply system. Air in new plumbing lines can result in two or three empty ice maker cycles. Furthermore, if the system is not flushed, the first ice cubes may be discolored or have an odd flavor.
IMPORTANT
Your ice maker is turned on at the factory so it can work as soon as you install your refrigerator. If you cannot connect a water supply, set the ice maker’s On/Off feature to Off; otherwise, the ice maker’s fill valve may make a loud chattering noise when it attempts to operate without water.
Turning the SIDE MOUNTED Ice Maker On and Off
To begin ice production, lower the wire signal arm to the DOWN or ON position. The ice maker turns off automatically when the ice container becomes full. To stop the ice maker, raise the wire signal arm until it clicks and locks in the UP or OFF position.
Ice maker/dispenser tips
- Ice cubes stored too long may develop an odd flavor. Empty the ice container as explained below.
- Occasionally shake the ice container to keep ice separated.
- If your refrigerator is not connected to a water supply or the water supply is turned off, turn off the ice maker as described in the previous section.
- The following sounds are normal when the ice maker is operating:
- Motor running
- Ice dropping into ice bin
- Water valve opening or closing
- Running water
- When dispensing ice, you will hear a snapping or clicking sound when the ice chute opens and closes.
- Turn Off the ice maker when cleaning the freezer and during vacations.
- If you turn Off the ice maker for a long period of time, you should also turn off the water supply valve.
Cleaning the ice maker
Clean the ice maker and ice bin at regular intervals, especially prior to vacation or moving.
To clean the ice maker:
1 Turn off the ice maker.
2 Remove the ice bin by lifting up and out.
3 Empty and carefully clean the ice bin with mild detergent. Rinse with clear water. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners.
4 Allow the ice bin to dry completely before replacing in the freezer.
5 Remove ice chips and clean the ice bin shelf and the freezer door chute.
6 Replace the ice bin. Turn On the ice maker to resume ice production
Remove and empty the ice bin if:
- An extended power failure (one hour or longer) causes ice cubes in the ice bin to melt and refreeze together after power is restored, jamming the dispenser mechanism.
- You do not use the ice dispenser frequently. Ice cubes will freeze together in the bin, jamming the dispenser mechanism.
Remove the ice bin and shake to loosen the cubes or clean as explained above.
CAUTION NEVER use an ice pick or similar sharp instrument to break up the ice. This could damage the ice bin and dispenser mechanism. To loosen stuck ice, use warm water. Before replacing the ice bin, make sure it is completely dry.
IMPORTANT When removing or replacing the ice bin, avoid rotating the auger in the ice bin. If the auger is accidentally rotated, you must realign the auger by turning it in 45 degree turns (see below) until the ice bin fits into place with the drive mechanism. If the auger is not properly aligned when replacing the ice bin, the refrigerator will not dispense ice. The fresh food door also may not close properly causing warm air to leak into the fresh food compartment.
CHANGING THE FILTER
Locating the Filters
Your refrigerator is equipped with water filtering system. The water filter system filters all dispensed drinking water, as well as the water used to produce ice. The filter is located in the top right rear corner of the fresh food compartment.
Water Filter
The water filter is located at the top right side of the fresh food compartment.
Replacing the Water Filter
In general, you should change the water filter every six months to ensure the highest possible water quality. Water Filter Status on the user interface prompts you to replace the filter after a standard amount of water125 gallons/473 liters for PureSource Ultra IITM) has flowed through the system.
If your refrigerator has not been used for a period of time (during moving for example), change the filter before reinstalling the refrigerator.
