Using the Controls

IMPORTANT:
■ 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 temperature
controls to a colder than recommended setting will not cool
the compartments any faster.
■ The recommended setting 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.
■
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.
Control Panel
Depending on your model, your refrigerator has either an internal
control panel, located at the top of the refrigerator compartment,
or an external control panel, located above the external water
dispenser. Follow the instructions specific to your model.
Internal Control Panel
External Control Panel
IMPORTANT (External Control only): The display screen on the
dispenser control panel will turn off automatically and enter "sleep"
mode when the control buttons and dispenser paddles 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.
