ALLOWINGCOOLINGTIMEBEFOREUSE
To ensure reliable food storage, allow your refrigerator and freezer to operate with the doors closed for 8 to 12
hours before placing food inside. During this cooling period, you do not need to adjust the controls, which are
preset at the factory.
SETTINGCOOLINGTEMPERATURES
Your refrigerator comes with a state=of-the=art electronic digital control system. The system's control panel is
located at the top of the the fresh food compartment.
The two digital displays on the left half of the control panel indicate the current settings or temperatures of your
freezer and fresh food compartments. The models with a 2-digit temperature display are for reference only, and
do not display the current accurate compartment temperature. Should you desire to see what the current
accurate temperature is, place a separate thermometer inside the freezer or fresh food compartment in the
desired location.
(Temperature Display Z Features may vary:)
To adjust the temperature to a higher or lower setting, press
the Up (Cold) or Down (Colder) button closest to the display.
The first time you press the button, the display shows current
setting you entered. Each press of the button after that changes
the setting by one.
The display shows your new setting momentarily, then
changes back to the current temperature.
MakingTemperatureAdjustments
After running your refrigerator for 24 hours, you can adjust temperatures as needed. Make your adjustments
small and gradual, allowing time for temperatures to change and stabilize. Refer to the following guidelines
for temperature settings.
ChoosingFahrenheitor Centigrade

Depending on which temperature standard you
prefer to use, you can set your control panel to

between fahrenheit and centigrade, press the Mode
button (located between the two digital temperature
displays).
