EXTEN D FRES H TEMPE RATU RE
MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
The ExtendFresh" Temperature Management System
connols the temperature in both the refrigerator
compartment and the fieezer compartment
independently. The system helps extend the fi'eshness of
the food in your refrigerator by responding to
temperature changes as small as I°F. Unlike most
refiigerators on the market today,, the ExtendFresh"
System uses a SMAll.T" Fan to transfer cold air
immediately ti'om the tieezer to the retiqgerator tbr fhster
response to temperature changes without the need tbr the
compressor to turn on. Also, by monitoring the freezer
and ffesh-fbod compartments every 82 seconds, the
system maintains consistent temperatures, which are less
affected by external temperature changes such as seasonal
changes and programmable home thermostats.

longer to reach the desired temperatures and cause some
foods to spoil. Afrer 24 hours, adjust the controls, one
number at a time as desired. "1" is the warmest setting
