OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT: Before operating this appliance, make sure it has been properly installed according to the appliance’s Owner’s Manual.
The control center is located at the top front of the refrigerator compartment.

TEMPERATURE CONTROLS

For your convenience, your temperature controls are preset at the factory. When you first install your refrigerator, make sure the controls are still set to the recommended setpoints as shown.

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.
    IMPORTANT: 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.

Adjust Set Points
The first touch of the (+) or (-) touch pad displays the current temperature set point.
Press the (+) or (-) touch pads until the desired temperature set point is displayed.

NOTE: Except when first turning on the refrigerator, do not adjust either temperature control more than one setting at a time. Wait 24 hours between adjustments for the temperature to stabilize.

Adjusting the Controls
The Refrigerator control adjusts the refrigerator compartment temperature. The Freezer control adjusts the freezer compartment temperature.
If you need to adjust the temperature in either the refrigerator or freezer compartment, use the settings listed in the chart below as a guide.

CONDITION: TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT:
Refrigerator too cold Refrigerator setting 1° higher
Refrigerator too warm Refrigerator setting 1° lower
Freezer too cold Freezer setting 1° higher
Freezer too warm / too little ice Freezer setting 1° lower

COOLING ON/OFF

Press and hold Cooling On/Off for 3 seconds. The LED will light up to indicate that cooling is Off. Press the button again to turn on the cooling. The LED will turn off.

MAX COOL
The Max Cool feature assists with periods of high refrigerator use, full grocery loads, or temporarily warm room temperatures.
Press Max Cool to set the freezer and refrigerator to the lowest temperature settings. Press
Max Cool again to return to the normal refrigerator set point.

NOTE: The Max Cool feature will shut off automatically in approximately 12 hours.

The Door Alarm feature sounds a chime every few seconds when the refrigerator door has been left open for 5 continuous minutes. The chime will sound until the door is closed or Door Alarm is
turned off.
Press the Door Alarm touch pad to turn this feature on or off. The indicator light will be lit when the Door Alarm feature is on.

WATER FILTER STATUS
The water filter status lights will help you know when to change the water filter. When the Order light is on, it is almost time to change the water filter. When the Replace light is on, a new water filter should be installed.

IMPORTANT: The disposable water filter should be replaced at least every 6 months. If the water flow to the water dispenser or ice maker decreases noticeably before 6 months have passed, replace the water filter more often.

FILTER RESET
The filter reset control allows you to restart the water filter status tracking feature each time you replace the water filter. See “Water Filtration System” in the Owner’s Manual.
After replacing the water filter, press and hold Filter Reset for 3 seconds, until the Order or Replace light turns off.

HUMIDITY CONTROL
The Humidity Control feature turns on a heater to help reduce moisture on the door hinge seal.
Use in humid environments or when you notice moisture on the door hinge seal. The refrigerator uses more energy when Humidity Control is on.

  • Press Humidity Control when the environment is warm and more humid, or if you notice moisture on the door hinge seal. The indicator light will be lit when humidity control is on.
  • Press Humidity Control to off to save energy when the environment is less humid.

SABBATH MODE
The Sabbath Mode is designed for those whose religious observances require turning off the lights and dispensers.
ON: All interior lights and alarm tones will be disabled.
