OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT: Before operating this appliance, make sure it has been properly installed according to the
appliance’s Owner’s Manual.
The Temperature Control UI is located above the external dispenser on the freezer door. For your
convenience, your refrigerator and freezer controls are preset at the factory.
For your convenience, your refrigerator and freezer temperature controls are set to the recommended set
points at the factory. When you first install your refrigerator, make sure the temperature controls are still set
to the recommended set points. The recommended set points are 37°F (3°C) for the refrigerator and 0°F
(-18°C) for the freezer.
IMPORTANT:
� 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.
NOTE: Areas such as a garage, basement, or porch may have higher humidity or extreme
temperatures. You may need to adjust the temperature away from the recommended settings to
accommodate for these conditions.
� 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 controls 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.
