ELECTRONIC TEMPERATURE CONTROLS ALLOWING COOLING TIME BEFORE USE To ensure safe food storage, allow your refrigerator to operate with the doors closed for at least 8 to 12 hours before placing food inside. During this cooling period, you do not need to adjust the controls, which are preset at the factory. SETTING COOLING TEMPERATURES Your refrigerator comes with a state-of-the-art electronic digital control system. The system’s control panel is located at the top of the fresh food compartment.
TEMPERATURE CONTROLS TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT After 24 hours, adjust the controls as needed. Make your adjustments small and gradual; allowing time for temperatures to change and stabilize. Refer to the adjacent guidelines for temperature settings. To adjust the temperature to a higher or lower setting, press the Up or Down button closest to the display. The first time you press the button, the display shows the last setting you entered.
TEMPERATURE CONTROLS Cooling System On/Off Button Indicator Lights TURNING THE COOLING SYSTEM ON AND OFF You can disable the cooling system in your refrigerator by pressing the On/Off button located on the left side of the temperature control panel. To ensure that you do not accidentally turn off the cooling system, the button does not work unless you press and hold it for three seconds. Once you disable the cooling system, all refrigeration to the freezer and fresh food compartments stops.
LOOKING INSIDE PIZZA SHELF (SOME CANTILEVER SHELF ADJUSTMENT MODELS) Refrigerator shelves are easily adjusted to suit individual needs. Before adjusting the shelves, remove all food. Cantilever shelves are supported at the back of the refrigerator. This shelf is attached to the freezer wall beside the ice dispenser container. This convenient area allows for storage of pizza and other tall items placed vertically between the ice dispenser container and the freezer wall.
LOOKING INSIDE TALL BOTTLE RETAINER (SOME MODELS) SPECIAL ITEM RACK (SOME MODELS) The Tall Bottle Retainer keeps tall containers in the bin from falling forward when opening or closing the refrigerator door. To install, hold the retainer at the top, and slide it over the outside wall of the bin, as shown in the diagram. The Tall Bottle Retainer works best with a Bin Snugger.

AUTOMATIC ICE & WATER DISPENSER HOW TO PRIME THE WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM Your refrigerator’s water supply system includes several tubing lines, a water filter, a water valve and a water tank. To ensure that your water dispenser works properly, this system must be completely filled with water when your refrigerator is first connected to the household water supply line and whenever you replace the water filter.
AUTOMATIC ICE & WATER DISPENSER ICE PRODUCTION: WHAT TO EXPECT • A side mounted ice maker will produce 4 to 4.5 pounds of ice every 24 hours, depending on usage conditions. Ice is produced at a rate of 8 cubes every 75 to 90 minutes. Remove ice container by lifting up and out. Empty and carefully clean the container with mild detergent. Rinse with clear water. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners. Allow ice container to dry completely before replacing in the freezer.
AUTOMATIC ICE & WATER DISPENSER PURESOURCE 3TM ICE AND WATER FRONT FILTER (SOME MODELS) MORE ABOUT YOUR ADVANCED WATER FILTER LOCATING THE FILTER The PureSource 3TM ice and water filter system is tested and certified to NSF/ANSI Standards 42 and 53 for the reduction of claims specified on the performance data sheet. Your refrigerator is equipped with a water filtering system. The water filter system filters all dispensed drinking water, as well as the water used to produce ice.
FOOD STORAGE & ENERGY-SAVING IDEAS FOOD STORAGE IDEAS Fresh Food Storage • The fresh food compartment should be kept between 34°F and 40°F with an optimum temperature of 37°F. • Avoid overcrowding the refrigerator shelves. This reduces the circulation of air around the food and results in uneven cooling. ENERGY-SAVING IDEAS • Locate the refrigerator in the coolest part of the room, out of direct sunlight, and away from heating ducts or registers.

CARE & CLEANING Keeping your refrigerator clean maintains appearance and prevents odor build-up. Wipe up any spills immediately and clean the freezer and fresh food compartments at least twice a year. When cleaning, take the following precautions: NOTE Do not use abrasive cleaners such as window sprays, scouring cleansers, flammable fluids, cleaning waxes, concentrated detergents, bleaches or cleansers containing petroleum products on plastic parts, interior doors, gaskets or cabinet liners.
