Using the Controls

IMPORTANT:

■ The refrigerator control adjusts the refrigerator compartment

temperature. The freezer control adjusts the freezer

compartment temperature.

■ Wait 24 hours after you turn on the refrigerator before you put

food into it. If you add food before the refrigerator has cooled

completely, your food may spoil.

NOTE: Adjusting the refrigerator and freezer controls to a

lower (colder) 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.

■ The preset settings should be correct for normal household

usage. The controls are set correctly when milk or juice is as

cold as you like and when ice cream is firm.

■ The actual temperature may differ from the display when a

door is open for an extended period of time.

NOTE: The factory recommended set points are 0°F (-18°C) for

the freezer and 37°F (3°C) for the refrigerator.

Turning Refrigerator On and Viewing Set Points

■ Press the Cooling (ON/OFF) touch pad.

NOTES:

■ After the refrigerator is turned on, the Over Temperature audio

alarm and indicator light may activate every 1¹⁄₂ hours until the

refrigerator and freezer temperatures are below 48°F (9°C) and

15°F (-9°C), respectively, or until the alarm is turned off. To

turn off the audio alarm and indicator light, see “Master Alarm

Reset.”

■ The ON/OFF touch pad on the control panel shuts down

refrigerator functions such as cooling, lighting, fans and

compressors. To turn the power off completely, use the power

ON/OFF switch located behind the top grille. See “Power On/

Off Switch.”

Viewing the Celsius Temperatures

■ Press F/C touch pad. To redisplay degrees Fahrenheit, press

F/C again.

NOTE: If the freezer temperature is below zero, the negative sign

next to the freezer display will light up. This is normal.

Adjusting Controls

NOTE: Wait at least 24 hours between adjustments. Recheck the

temperatures before other adjustments are made.

To Adjust Set Point Temperatures:

■ Press the refrigerator or freezer PLUS (+) or MINUS (-) touch

pad until the desired temperature is reached.

■ Press the “Set to Recommended” touch pad to reset the set

points to the factory recommended temperatures.

NOTE: The set point range for the freezer is -5°F to 5°F

(-21°C to -15°C). The set point range for the refrigerator is

33°F to 45°F (0°C to 7°C).

Water Filter Indicator & Reset

See “Water Filter Indicator.”

Max Cold

The Max Cold feature assists with periods of heavy ice usage, full

grocery loads, or temporarily warm room temperatures.

■ Press MAX COLD to turn on the Max Cold feature. The Max

Cold indicator light will remain on for 24 hours unless manually

turned off.

NOTE: The temperature display will remain at 34°F (1°C) and -5°F

(-21°C) for the refrigerator and freezer compartments,

respectively, while the Max Cold feature is enabled. After

24 hours, the refrigerator returns to the previous temperature set

points.

Rest Mode

The Rest Mode feature is designed for the traveler or for those

whose religious observances require turning off the lights and ice

maker. By selecting this feature, the temperature set points and

Deli Pan settings remain unchanged, the ice maker will be

disabled and the interior lights will turn off. For most efficient

refrigerator operation, it is recommended to exit the Rest Mode

when it is no longer required.

■ Press REST MODE to turn on the Rest Mode feature. This

feature will remain on until Rest Mode is pressed again.

NOTE: If the Max Cold feature has been selected prior to turning

on the Rest Mode feature, then the set points will remain at 34°F

(1°C) and -5°F (-21°C) for the refrigerator and freezer

compartments, respectively, until the Max Cold feature times out.

The refrigerator will then return to the previous temperature set

points chosen prior to the selection of the Max Cold feature, but

the lights and ice maker will remain off until the Rest Mode is

pressed again.
