Getting Started

Your safety and the safety of others are very important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. ALWAYS read and obey all safety messages.

This is the safety alert symbol. This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can

kill or hurt you and others.

All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word “DANGER” or “WARNING.”

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately follow instructions.

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow instructions.

All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Proper Disposal (of old refrigerator)

WARNING

Suffocation Hazard

Remove doors from your old refrigerator.

Failure to do so can result in death or brain damage.

Getting Started

IMPORTANT:

Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators are still dangerous—even if they will sit for “just a few days”. If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator, please follow these instructions to help avoid accidents.

Using the Controls

The refrigerator and freezer controls are located on the dispenser panel.

IMPORTANT:

The display screen on the dispenser control panel will turn OFF automatically and enter “sleep” mode when the control buttons and dispenser levers have not been used for 2 minutes or more. While in “sleep” mode, the first press of a control button will only reactivate the display screen, without changing any settings. After reactivation, changes to any settings can then be made. If no changes are made within 2 minutes, the display will re-enter “sleep” mode.

• Touch any control button on the dispenser panel to activate the display screen. The home screen will appear as shown.

Product Controls

Before You Throw Away Your Old Refrigerator or Freezer:

• Take off the doors.

• Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.

Adjusting the Controls

For your convenience, your refrigerator and freezer controls are preset at the factory. When you first install your refrigerator, make sure that the controls are still set to the “mid-settings.” The factory recommended set points are 38°F (3°C) for the refrigerator and 0°F (-18°C) for the freezer.

IMPORTANT:

• Wait 24 hours before you put food into the refrigerator. If you add food before the refrigerator has cooled completely, your food may spoil.

• NOTE: Adjusting the set points 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.

Using the Controls (cont.)

Using the Control (cont.)

• The preset temperatures should be correct for normal household usage. The controls are set correctly when milk or juice is as cold as you like and when ice cream is firm.

• Wait at least 24 hours between adjustments. Re-check the temperatures before other adjustments are made.

To view and adjust the set points, press and hold the TEMPERATURE button for 3 seconds. When adjust mode is activated, adjusting information will appear on the display screen.

When adjusting temperature set points, use the following chart as a guide.

Sabbath Mode

Door Ajar Alarm

The Door Ajar Alarm feature sounds an alarm when the refrigerator or freezer door is open for 5 minutes and the product cooling is turned on. The alarm will repeat every 2 minutes. Close both doors to turn it off. The feature then resets and will reactivate when either door is left open again for 5 minutes.

NOTE: To mute the audible alarm while keeping the doors open, such as while cleaning the inside of the refrigerator, press any button on the control panel. The alarm sound will be temporarily turned off, but the Door Ajar icon will still be displayed on the dispenser control panel.
