Your refrigerator has two controls that affect the temperature. The 
Temperature control is located at the top front of the refrigerator 
compartment and the Airflow control is located on the back wall 
of the freezer compartment.

IMPORTANT: 

■

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.

■

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.

■

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.

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

■

To turn off cooling, press and hold TEMP SETTING for 
4 seconds until all lights turn ON for 1 second. To turn cooling 
back on, press and hold TEMP SETTING again for 4 seconds. 

NOTE: Neither compartment will cool when the control is set to 
OFF.   

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.

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. 

■

Press TEMP SETTING to toggle between the three LED lights 
which indicate the temperature setting. Reading from left to 
right, the LED in the first position is the least cold. The LEDs 
indicate increasingly colder settings as you continue to the 
right until all three LEDs are illuminated. 

NOTE: For the first to third setting, only one LED of the three 
LEDs will be lit. All three LEDs will be lit when you have 
reached the PowerCold™ setting (the coldest setting). 

The PowerCold™ feature sets the freezer and refrigerator to the 
lowest temperature settings to assist with periods of high 
refrigerator use, full grocery loads or temporarily warm room 
temperatures. 

■

To turn on the PowerCold™ feature, press TEMP SETTING 
continually until all the LED lights are illuminated. Press TEMP 
SETTING again to return to the COLD set point.

NOTE: All three LED lights are on when the refrigerator is in 
PowerCold mode. The PowerCold™ feature will turn off 
automatically after 24 hours and the temperature will return to 
the COLDEST set point.

The Airflow control regulates the amount of air flowing between 
the freezer and the refrigerator compartments. 

When you plug in the refrigerator for the first time, turn the Airflow 
control to the Recommended setting.
