About the controls with
temperature settings.
NOTE: The refrigerator is shipped with protective film covering the temperature controls.
If this film was not removed during installation, remove it now.
The temperature controls are preset in the factory at 37°F for the refrigerator compartment
and 0°F for the freezer compartment. Allow 24 hours for the temperature to stabilize to the
preset recommended settings.
The temperature controls can display both the SET temperature as well as the actual
temperature in the refrigerator and freezer. The actual temperature may vary slightly from
the SET temperature based on usage and operating environment.
Setting either or both controls to OFF stops cooling in both the freezer and refrigerator
compartments, but does not shut off electrical power to the refrigerator.
Changing the Temperature
To change the temperature, press and release the
WARMER or COLDER pad. The SET light will come
on and the display will show the set temperature.
To change the temperature, tap either the
WARMER or COLDER pad until the desired
temperature is displayed. Refrigerator temperatures
can be adjusted between 34°F and 47°F and the
freezer temperatures can be adjusted between
–6°F and +8°F.
Once the desired temperature has been set,
the temperature display will return to the actual
refrigerator and freezer temperatures after 5
seconds. Several adjustments may be required.

maximize temperature control in the refrigerator
and freezer compartments. This unique special
feature consists of the Air Tower along the back

for either the refrigerator or the freezer until the
display shows OFF. To turn the unit back on, press the
COLDER pad for either the refrigerator or freezer.
The SET light will illuminate on the side you
selected. Then press the COLDER pad again (on the
side where the SET light is illuminated) and it will
go to the preset points of 0°F for the freezer and
37°F for the refrigerator. Setting either or both
controls to OFF stops cooling in both the freezer
and refrigerator compartments, but does not shut
off electrical power to the refrigerator.
