2.  Open both doors again to make sure they close as easily as 

you like. If not, tilt the refrigerator slightly more to the rear by 

turning both leveling legs to the left; it may take several 

more turns.

NOTE: To keep the refrigerator level, you should turn both 

leveling legs the same amount.

3.  Using a level, be sure that the refrigerator is still level side to 

side. Readjust if necessary.

If the space between your doors looks uneven, you can adjust it 

using the following instructions:

1.  Depending on your model, remove the Top Hinge cover.
2.  Loosen the top hinge screws using a ⁵⁄₁₆" socket or wrench.
3.  Have someone hold the door in place or put a spacer between 

the doors while you tighten the top hinge screws.

4.  Replace the Top Hinge cover if removed in Step 1.

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.

Cooling On/Off
To turn cooling off, 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.

Adjusting the Temperature Control
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).

PowerCold™ Feature
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 Coldestset point.
