Your model may have either Electronic or Digital Controls. 
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 Controls to a 
higher (colder) than recommended setting will not cool the 
compartments any faster. 

■

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.

■

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 controls are preset at the 
factory. When you first install your refrigerator, make sure the 
controls are still set to the recommended setting as shown.
Style 1

Style 1–Press the freezer minus sign touch pad until a
dash (-) appears in both the refrigerator and freezer displays. 
Neither compartment will cool.
Style 2–Press the freezer down arrow touch pad until a
dash (-) appears in both the refrigerator and freezer displays. 
Neither compartment will cool. 

The humidity control 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 the control to ON when the environment is warm and 
more humid, or if you notice moisture on the door hinge seal. 

■

Press the control to OFF to save energy when the environment 
is less humid. 

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. 
To adjust the temperature:
Style 1–Press the up or down arrow touch pads 
Style 2–Press the plus or minus sign touch pads. 
Except when first turning on the refrigerator, do not adjust the 
control more than one setting at a time. Wait 24 hours between 
adjustments for the temperature to stabilize. 

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 Initial settings as shown.

IMPORTANT: When the power is on, the temperature display 
shows the set point temperature of the compartment.

■

Press both the freezer and refrigerator (+) touch pads 
repeatedly until “OFF” appears in the displays. Allow a few 
seconds for the refrigerator to shut off. Neither compartment 
will cool. 

■

Press both the refrigerator and freezer (-) touch pads to turn 
on the refrigerator.

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 as a 
guide.

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.
