IMPORTANT: 

■

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 temperature 
controls to a colder than recommended setting will not cool 
the compartments any faster.

■

The recommended setting 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 or porch, may experience 
warmer or colder temperatures and higher humidity than 
inside the home. You may need to adjust the temperature 
away from the recommended set points to accommodate for 
these conditions.

■

If the temperature is too warm or too cold in the refrigerator or 
freezer, before adjusting the controls, first check the air vents 
located in the refrigerator and freezer compartments to be 
sure they are not blocked by food items. 

The control panel is located inside the refrigerator compartment.   
This control operates both the refrigerator and freezer 
compartments. 

The control panel will display the Home Screen, as shown, when 
either refrigerator door is opened. 

For your convenience, the temperature control is preset at the 
factory. When you first install your refrigerator, make sure the 
control is still set to the recommended setting as shown.

If you need to adjust the temperature in either the refrigerator or 
freezer compartment, use the settings listed in the following chart 
as a guide. 

■

Press either the FREEZER TEMP or FRIDGE TEMP button to 
select the desired temperature setting from (1 box [least cold] 
to 5 boxes [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.

Your refrigerator and freezer will not cool and water will not 
dispense when cooling is turned off.

■

To turn cooling off, press and hold both the MAX COOL and 
MOISTURE CONTROL buttons, at the same time, for 
3 seconds. When cooling is off, “Cooling Off” will appear on 
the display screen.

■

To turn cooling back on, press and hold both the MAX COOL 
and MOISTURE CONTROL buttons, at the same time, for 
3 seconds. When cooling is on, “Cooling Off” will disappear 
and the previously selected settings will appear on the display 
screen.

The Max Cool feature assists during times of high refrigerator use, 
full grocery loads or temporarily warm room temperatures.

■

Press MAX COOL to set the freezer and refrigerator to the 
coldest temperature settings. Press MAX COOL again to 
return to the selected temperature set point.

■

The Max Cool icon will be illuminated while the refrigerator 
is in Max Cool mode.The displayed compartment 
temperature settings will not change. 

■

The Max Cool feature will turn off automatically after 
24 hours.
