Whirlpool Side-by-Side Refrigerator User Guide

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT: Before operating this appliance, make sure it has been properly installed according to the appliance’s Owner’s Manual.

For your convenience, your refrigerator controls are preset at the factory. When you first install your refrigerator, make sure that the controls are still preset. The refrigerator and freezer controls should be set to the “mid-settings.

REFRIGERATOR

IMPORTANT: The refrigerator control adjusts the refrigerator compartment temperature. Every click on the “Temp Setting” button makes refrigerator compartment colder (LED indicators on in 1 snowflake is Less Cold / LED indicators on in 2, 3, or 4 snowflakes is colder / All LED indicators on is coldest), once you get to the last level, the system will go back to the initial level.

FREEZER

The freezer control adjusts the freezer compartment temperature. Settings to the front of the mid-setting make the temperature less cold. Settings to the back of the mid-setting make the temperature colder.

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 refrigerator and freezer controls to a higher (colder) than recommended setting will not cool the compartments any faster.

TEMPERATURE SET POINTS

Give the refrigerator time to cool down completely before adding food. It is best to wait 24 hours before you put food into the refrigerator. The settings indicated in the previous section should be correct for normal household refrigerator usage. The controls are set correctly when milk or juice is as cold as you like and when ice cream is firm.

If you need to adjust temperatures in the refrigerator or freezer, use the settings listed in the chart below as a guide. Wait at least 24 hours between adjustments

CONDITION TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMEN
Refrigerator too cold Refrigerator control one snowflake lower
Refrigerator too warm Refrigerator control one snowflake higher
Freezer too cold Freezer control one snowflake lower
Freezer too warm / too little ice Freezer control one snowflake higher
