Ensuring Proper Air Circulation

In order to ensure proper temperature, you need to permit proper

airflow in the refrigerator. As shown in the illustration, cool air enters

from the refrigerator wall and moves down. The air then recirculates

through the vent near the bottom.

Do not block any of these vents with food packages. If the vents are

blocked, airflow will be restricted, and temperature and moisture

problems may occur.

IMPORTANT: To avoid odor transfer and drying out of food, wrap or

cover foods tightly.

Using the Control

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

compartment

Temperature Control

For your convenience, the temperature control is preset at the factory.

When you first install your refrigerator, check that the control is still set

to the recommended setting as shown.

Recommended Setting “Colder”

IMPORTANT:

■ The recommended 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 preset temperature setting should be correct for normal

household usage. The control is set correctly when milk or juice is

as cold as you like.

■ 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 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 airspace 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 the TEMP SETTING button to display the desired temperature

setting from Cold to Coldest.

NOTE: Except when starting the refrigerator, do not adjust the control

more than one setting at a time. 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 the TEMP SETTING button for

3 seconds. In the off condition, 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 the TEMP SETTING button for

3 seconds. When cooling is on, the control panel lights will be

illuminated.

Fast Cool

Use this feature to assist with periods of high refrigerator use, full

grocery loads or temporarily warm room temperature.

To activate Fast Cool, press the TEMP SETTING button until all the

LED positions are illuminated simultaneously.

The refrigerator will remain in the Fast 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. Fast Cool

may be manually turned off by pressing the TEMP SETTING button to

select the desired temperature setting from Cold to Coldest.
