Adjusting the Controls
For your convenience, your refrigerator and freezer controls are preset at the factory. When you first
install your refrigerator, make
sure that the controls are still set to the “mid-settings.” The factory recommended set points are 38°F
(3°C) for the refrigerator and 0°F (-18°C) for the freezer.
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 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.
• The preset temperatures 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.
To view and adjust the set points, press and hold
the TEMP button for 3 seconds. When adjust mode
is activated, adjusting information will appear on the
display screen.
NOTE: To view Celsius temperatures, press the
LIGHT button when adjust mode is activated. To
return the display setting to Fahrenheit, press
LIGHT again.
When adjust mode is activated, the display screen shows the refrigerator set point and “FRIDGE” appears.
• Press LOCK to raise the set point, or press FAST COOL to lower the set point.
• When you have finished viewing (and adjusting if desired) the refrigerator set point, press TEMP to
change the display to show the freezer set point. When the zone has been changed, “FREEZER”
appears on the display screen.
• Press LOCK to raise the set point, or press FAST COOL to lower the set point.
• When you have finished viewing (and adjusting if desired) both the refrigerator and freezer set points,
press FILTER to save the settings.
NOTE: To exit without saving changes, press ICE TYPE at any time while in adjust mode, or allow
about 60 seconds of inactivity and adjust mode will turn off automatically.
When adjusting temperature set points, use the following chart as a guide.
The set point range for the refrigerator is 33°F to 45°F (0°C to 7°C). The set point range for the freezer is
