French Door Bottom Mount Refrigerator Quick Start Guide

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 set points as shown.

Important Notes:

• 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.
• 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.

To Turn Your Refrigerator Off/On:

Press the freezer [+] touch pad repeatedly until "Off" appears in the freezer display. Allow a few seconds for the refrigerator to shut off. Neither compartment will cool.

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.

TEMP ALARM ?

The Temp Alarm feature provides temperature information in the event of a power outage.

Temperature alarm:

An alarm will sound repeatedly if the freezer or refrigerator compartment temperatures exceed normal operating temperatures for an hour or more. The temperature displays will alternately show the current temperatures and the highest temperatures the compartments reached.

• Press the [Temp Alarm] touch pad once to stop the audible alarm and alternating temperature displays. The Temp Alarm light will continue to flash until the refrigerator returns to the set temperature.

Power outage:

During a power outage, if the temperatures in the refrigerator and freezer compartments exceed normal operating temperatures, the highest temperature reached will be displayed.

• Press the [Temp Alarm] ? touch pad until the indicator light is lit, to turn on this feature. Press and hold [Temp Alarm] ? for 3 seconds until the indicator light goes off to turn off this feature.

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] ? to off to save energy when the environment is less humid.

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.
