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 37°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.
The preset settings 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. Recheck 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.
NOTE: To view Celsius temperatures, press the LIGHT button
when adjust mode is activated. To return the display setting to
Fahrenheit, press LIGHT again.
When adjust mode is activated, the display screen shows
the refrigerator set point and "REFRIGERATOR" appears.
Press LOCK to raise the set point, or press ACCELERICE to
lower the set point.
When you have finished viewing (and adjusting if desired)
the refrigerator set point, press TEMPERATURE to change the
display to show the freezer set point. When the zone has
been changed, "FREEZER" appears on the display screen.
Press LOCK to raise the set point, or press ACCELERICE to
lower the set point.
When you have finished viewing (and adjusting if desired)
both the refrigerator and freezer set points, press RESET
FILTER to save the settings.
NOTE: To exit without saving changes, press WATER/ICE at
any time while in adjust mode, or allow about 60 seconds of
inactivity and adjust mode will turn off automatically.
When adjusting temperature set points, use the following chart
as a guide.

The set point range for the refrigerator is 33°F to 45°F (0°C to

Cooling On/Off
Your refrigerator and freezer will not cool when cooling is
turned off.
To turn cooling off, press and hold the LOCK and RESET
FILTER buttons at the same time for 3 seconds.
IMPORTANT: To avoid unintentionally locking the dispenser
or changing other settings, be sure to press both buttons at
exactly the same time.
When cooling is off, "COOLING OFF" will appear on the
display screen.
Press and hold LOCK and RESET FILTER for 3 seconds again
to turn cooling back on.
Additional Features
Accelerated Ice Production
The Accelerated Ice feature assists with temporary periods of
heavy ice usage by increasing ice production.
IMPORTANT: This feature only works if the ice maker is turned
on. See "Ice Maker and Storage Bin."
To turn on the feature, press ACCELERICE. When the
feature is on, the Accelerated Ice icon will appear on the
dispenser display screen.
The Accelerated Ice setting will remain on for a minimum of
90 minutes unless manually turned off.
To manually turn off the feature, press ACCELERICE again,
or adjust the freezer temperature set point. The Accelerated
Ice icon will disappear when the feature is off.
