Quick Start Guide

BEFORE YOU START
Before starting the refrigerator
Remove tape and glue residue from surfaces before turning on the refrigerator. Choose a place that
is near a grounded electrical outlet, allowing for clearances for ease of installation, proper circulation,
and plumbing and electrical connections. After you remove all of the package materials, clean the
inside of your refrigerator before using it. See CARE AND CLEANING in your Use & Care Guide.
Set your controls
Adjusting the refrigerator control will change the temperature in both compartments. The freezer
control can be left at the factory preset (*Recommended) or adjusted as desired.
To maintain temperatures, a fan circulates air in the refrigerator and freezer compartments. For good
circulation, do not block cold air vents with food items.
Your controls
Using your refrigerator starts with just adjusting your controls. Adjust the control in small increments,
allowing the temperature to stabilize.

Your display is equipped
with a sleep and inactive
mode to prevent
accidental changes to
the unit settings when
you open or close the
doors. When both doors
are closed, the display
will be in sleep mode.
When either door is
first opened, the display
will be in inactive mode
where all the current
settings are visible
but dimmed.
Pressing any button on
the display will activate
the display and a tone
will be played. All
settings will then be
fully lit. Touch the
display again to change
any setting.
If there is no button
pressed for 10 seconds
while any door is open,
the display will default
back to inactive mode.
