Using the Refrigerator Control

The temperature control is located at the top front of the
refrigerator compartment.

Temperature Control

When you first install your refrigerator, check that the control is
set to the temperature that is desired for your food items.
There are three pre-set temperature buttons to choose from on
your refrigerator:
Party: Sets refrigerator temperature at a level suitable for
■
temporary loading of party platters or cold appetizers.
Assorted: Multi-purpose setting accommodates a variety of
■
refrigerated items.
Beverage: Holds refrigerator at a lower temperature to keep
■
beverages extra cold.
IMPORTANT:
The Assorted setting is designed to maintain the temperature
■
at or near 37°F (3°C) under normal operating conditions.
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 temperature set point to a colder than
recommended setting will not cool the refrigerator any faster.
If the temperature is too warm or too cold in the refrigerator,
■
first check the air vents to be sure they are not blocked before
adjusting the control.
The control is set correctly when milk or juice is as cold as
■
you like, but the Assorted setting should be correct for normal
household usage.
When the refrigerator is first started, the compressor will run
■
constantly until the refrigerator is cooled. It may take up to
6 or 8 hours (or longer), depending on room temperature and
the number of times the refrigerator door is opened. After the
refrigerator is cooled, the compressor will turn on and off as
needed to keep the refrigerator at the proper temperature.
The outside of your refrigerator may feel warm. This is normal.
■
The refrigerator's design and main function is to remove
heat from packages and air space inside the refrigerator. The
heat is transferred to the room air, making the outside of the
refrigerator feel warm.

Adjusting Control
If you need to adjust the temperature in the refrigerator
compartment, press TEMP SETTING to display the desired
temperature setting. Choose from Party, Assorted, or Beverage.
NOTE: When adjusting the control to a different setting, wait 24
hours between adjustments for the temperature to stabilize.
Cooling On/Off
Your refrigerator will not cool when cooling is turned off.
To turn cooling off, press and hold TEMP SETTING for 3 seconds.
In the Off position, none of the lights on the control panel will be
illuminated. The main refrigerator light bulb will still operate.
To turn cooling on, press and hold TEMP SETTING for 3 seconds.
When cooling is on, the control panel lights will be illuminated.
Max Cool
Use this feature to assist with periods of high refrigerator use,
such as full grocery loads or temporarily warm room temperature.
To activate Max Cool, press TEMP SETTING until all the
snowflake icons are illuminated simultaneously.
The refrigerator will remain in the Max Cool setting for 24 hours
after the extra-low temperature is reached. Once the time has
expired, the refrigerator will return to the previous temperature
setting. Max Cool may be manually turned off by pressing
Temp Setting to select the desired temperature setting from the
snowflake on the left (least cold) to the snowflake on the
right (coldest).
