Your controls will look like one of the following:
Startup Steps for Proper Temperature Control
STEP 1—Set Fresh Food Control on “5.”
STEP 2—Set Freezer Control on “5.”
STEP 3—WAIT 12 HOURS for temperature to stabilize.
STEP 4—If a change is needed, move the control one number at
a time and allow 12 hours for temperature to stabilize.
NOTE: Turning the refrigerator to the 0 (off) setting via the controls
does not shut off electrical power to the refrigerator.
Control settings will vary based on personal preferences, usage
and operating conditions and may require more than one adjustment.

FREEZER REFRIGERATOR
To Change Temperature Control Setting with Touch Pads:
• Freezer setting is on the left side of the display.
• Refrigerator setting is on the right side of the display.
— Press the Warmer or Colder pad for compartment and
direction desired.
— Present control setting number will illuminate.
— Each time the pad is touched, compartment setting
changes one number.
A display of 1 is warmest and 9 is the coldest setting.
To Turn Cooling Off:
To stop cooling in the refrigerator and freezer compartments, first
repeatedly press the Warmer pad for the freezer until its display
continuously flashes “1”. Then, using the refrigerator control,
repeatedly press Warmer until both displays flash “0”. “0” in both
displays turns off the cooling system. On some models, it may be
necessary to set only one control to 0 to turn off cooling in both
compartments.
NOTE: Turning the refrigerator to the 0 (off) setting via the controls
does not shut off electrical power to the refrigerator.
Control settings will vary based on personal preferences, usage
and operating conditions and may require more than one adjustment.
The temperature controls are preset in the factory at 37°F for the
refrigerator compartment and 0°F for the freezer compartment.
Allow 24 hours for the temperature to stabilize to the preset
recommended settings.
The temperature controls can display both the SET temperature as well
as the actual temperature in the refrigerator and freezer. The actual
temperature may vary slightly from the SET temperature based on
usage and operating environment.
Setting either or both controls to OFF stops cooling in both the freezer
and refrigerator compartments, but does not shut off electrical power
to the refrigerator.
NOTE: The refrigerator is shipped with protective film covering the
temperature controls. If this film was not removed during installation,
remove it now.
