About the temperature controls. GEAppliances.com
The temperature controls are preset in the factory at 37°F for the
refrigerator compartment and 0°F for the freezer compartment. Allow
24 hours for the temperature to stabilize to the preset recommended
settings.
The temperature controls can display both the SET temperature
as well as the actual temperature in the refrigerator and freezer.
The actual temperature may vary slightly from the SET temperature
based on usage and operating environment.
Setting either or both controls to OFF stops cooling in both the freezer
and refrigerator compartments, but does not shut off electrical power
to the refrigerator.
NOTE: The refrigerator is shipped with protective film covering the
temperature controls. If this film was not removed during installation,
remove it now.
The Performance Air-Flow System is designed to
maximize temperature control in the refrigerator
and freezer compartments. This unique special
feature consists of the Air Tower along the back
wall of the refrigerator and the Air Tunnel on the
bottom portion of the freezer rear wall. Placing food
in front of the louvers on these components will not
affect performance. Although the Air Tower and
the Air Tunnel can be removed, doing so will affect
temperature performance. (For removal

Performance Air Flow System
To change the temperature, press and release the
WARMER or COLDER pad. The SET light will come
on and the display will show the set temperature.
To change the temperature, tap either the
WARMER or COLDER pad until the desired
temperature is displayed. Refrigerator temperatures
can be adjusted between 34°F and 44°F and the
freezer temperatures can be adjusted between
–6°F and +6°F.
Once the desired temperature has been set,
the temperature display will return to the actual
refrigerator and freezer temperatures after 5
seconds. Several adjustments may be required.
Each time you adjust controls, allow 24 hours for the
refrigerator to reach the temperature you have set.
To turn the cooling system off, tap the WARMER pad
for either the refrigerator or the freezer until the
display shows OFF. To turn the unit back on, press the
COLDER pad for either the refrigerator or freezer.
The SET light will illuminate on the side you
selected. Then press the COLDER pad again (on the
side where the SET light is illuminated) and it will
go to the preset points of 0°F for the freezer and
37°F for the refrigerator. Setting either or both
controls to OFF stops cooling in both the freezer
and refrigerator compartments, but does not shut
off electrical power to the refrigerator.
