Using the Controls
The control center is located on the front of the ice and water
dispenser.
Temperature Controls
For your convenience, your temperature controls are preset at
the factory. When you first install your refrigerator, make sure the
controls are still set to the recommended set points as shown.
Recommended Setting
IMPORTANT:
■ When the power is on, the temperature display shows the set
point temperature of the compartment.
■ Wait 24 hours for your refrigerator to cool completely before
adding food. If you add food before the refrigerator has
cooled completely, your food may spoil.
NOTE: Adjusting the refrigerator and freezer temperature
controls to a colder than recommended setting will not cool
the compartments any faster.
■ The recommended settings should be correct for normal
household refrigerator use. The controls are set correctly
when milk or juice is as cold as you like and when ice cream
is firm.
■ 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.
To Turn Off/On:
IMPORTANT:
■ Depending on your model you may have a control center with
an On/Off button (Style 1), or you may have a control center
without an On/Off button (Style 2).
■ The On/Off control turns off cooling for both compartments
and turns off the dispenser. It does not disconnect power to
the refrigerator.
Style 1 – Press and hold the On/Off button for three seconds.
The red LED will light up to indicate that cooling is Off. Press the
On/Off button again to turn on the cooling. The LED will turn off.
Style 2 – Press the Freezer up arrow touch pad until OFF appears
in the display. Neither compartment will cool. Press the Freezer or
Refrigerator down arrow touch pad to turn the cooling back on.
Adjusting Controls
The REFRIGERATOR control adjusts the refrigerator
compartment temperature. The FREEZER control adjusts the
freezer compartment temperature.
If you need to adjust the temperature in either the refrigerator or
freezer compartment, use the settings listed in the chart as a
guide.
To Adjust Set Point Temperatures:
The first touch of the up or down arrow touch pad displays the
current temperature set point.
■ Press the up or down arrow touch pads until the desired
temperature set point is displayed.
NOTE: Except when first turning on the refrigerator, do not
adjust either temperature control more than one setting at a
time. Wait 24 hours between adjustments for the temperature
to stabilize.
Additional Control Center Features
Fast Cool
The Fast Cool feature assists with periods of high refrigerator
use, full grocery loads, or temporarily warm room temperatures.
■ Press the Fast Cool touch pad to set the freezer and
refrigerator to the lowest temperature settings. Press the Fast
Cool touch pad again to return to the normal refrigerator set
point.
NOTE: The Fast Cool feature will automatically shut off in
approximately 2 hours. When fast cool is on, the temperature
cannot be adjusted.
