Side-by-Side Quick Start Guide
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT: Before operating this appliance, make sure it has been properly installed according to the
appliance’s Owner’s Manual.
For your convenience, your refrigerator controls are preset at the factory. When you first install your
refrigerator, make sure that the controls are still preset. The refrigerator and freezer controls should
be set to the “mid-settings.”
REFRIGERATOR
IMPORTANT: The refrigerator control adjusts the refrigerator compartment temperature. Every click on the “Temp
Setting” button makes refrigerator compartment colder (LED indicators on in 1 snowflake is Less Cold / LED
indicators on in 2, 3, or 4 snowflakes is colder / All LED indicators on is coldest), once you get to the last level, the
system will go back to the initial level.
FREEZER
The freezer control adjusts the freezer compartment temperature. Settings to
the front of the mid-setting make the temperature less cold. Settings to the
back of the mid-setting make the temperature colder.
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 refrigerator and freezer controls to a higher (colder) than recommended setting
will not cool the compartments any faster.
TEMPERATURE SET POINTS
Give the refrigerator time to cool down completely before adding food. It is best to wait 24 hours
before you put food into the refrigerator. The settings indicated in the previous section should be
correct for normal household refrigerator usage. The controls are set correctly when milk or juice is
as cold as you like and when ice cream is firm.
If you need to adjust temperatures in the refrigerator or freezer, use the settings listed in the chart
below as a guide. Wait at least 24 hours between adjustments.
CONDITION: TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT:
Refrigerator too cold Refrigerator control one snowflake lower
Refrigerator too warm Refrigerator control one snowflake higher
Freezer too cold Freezer control one snowflake lower
Freezer too warm / too little ice Freezer control one snowflake higher

maker, or to the dispenser light. It simply deactivates the controls and
dispenser lever. To turn off the ice maker, see the “Ice Maker and Storage Bin”
section in the Owner’s Manual.
