Temperature Controls

For your convenience, your refrigerator and freezer controls are

preset at the factory.

To view set points, press the TEMP button on the dispenser

panel. The factory recommended set points are 0°F (-18°C) for

the freezer and 38°F (3°C) for the refrigerator.

IMPORTANT:

• Wait 24 hours before you put food into the refrigerator. If you

add food before the refrigerator has cooled completely, your

food may spoil.

NOTE: Adjusting the set points to a higher (colder) than

recommended setting will not cool the compartments any

faster.

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.

Wait at least 24 hours between adjustments. Recheck the

temperatures before other adjustments are made.

The display screen on the dispenser control panel has a

backlight, which will turn off automatically when the controls

have not been used for 2 minutes or more. When the

backlight is off, the first press of a control button or the

display screen will only reactivate the backlight, without

changing any settings. Within 2 minutes after the backlight

has been reactivated, additional presses of control buttons or

the display screen will change the applicable settings.

Adjusting the Controls

To adjust the set points, press the TEMP button on the dispenser

panel. Set points and adjusting information will appear on the

display screen.

Power Outage Indicator (on some models)

The power outage indicator lets you know if the power supply to

your refrigerator is cut off for more than 1 hour.

When power is restored, a power outage alert will appear on the

display screen. The display shows how long the refrigerator was

without power, using exact times if the clock has been set.

When the indicator is on, all other dispenser functions are

disabled. To use the dispenser, you must reset the power outage

indicator.

• Press RESET on the display screen, then press YES to

confirm that you want to reset the indicator.

history for the refrigerator. Press OPTIONS, then OUTAGE.
