SETTING THE CONTROLS

Your refrigerator has a control pad on the dispenser that
lets you regulate the temperature in the freezer and
refrigerator compartments.

Initially set the REFRIGERATOR CONTROL at 37°F
(3°C) and the FREEZER CONTROL at 0 °F ( -18C).
Leave it at this setting for 24 hours (one day) to
stabilize. Then adjust the compartment temperature as
desired.

Refrigerator Temp Control: 32°F/47°F (0°C to 8°C)
The lower the number setting, the colder the refrigerator
compartment will become.

Freezer Temp Control: -6°F/8°F (-21°C to -13°C)
When the setting is at a lower number, the freezer
compartment becomes colder. But the refrigerator
compartment becomes warmer because less cold air
flows into the refrigerator.

NOTE: If you want to change °F to °C, press and hold
COLDER key of freezer and COLDER key of refrigerator
over 3 sec at the same time. and if you want to change
°C to °F , hold them for 3 sec again.

Express Freezing : Press the EXPRESS FRZ button
and the LED will turn on. This function will remain
activated for 24 hours and increase the cooling speed of
the freezer and the amount of ice produced.

Dispenser Lock : Press and hold the LOCK button for 3
seconds to lock the dispenser.
When it is locked, the LED will be off and the dispenser
will not operate. To unlock, press and hold the LOCK
button for 3 seconds.

Filter Reset : When the FILTER RESET LED turns on,
you have to change the water filter. Press the FILTER
RESET button for 3 seconds to turn LED off. You need
to change the water filter approximately every 6 months.

WARNING: If a door is open, the dispenser does not

work.

ADJUSTING CONTROL SETTINGS

Give the refrigerator time to cool down completely before
adding food. It is best to wait 24 hours before you put
food into the refrigerator. The mid-settings indicated in the
previous section should be correct for normal household
refrigerator usage. The controls are set correctly when
milk or juice is as cold as you like and when ice cream
is firm.

The refrigerator control functions as the thermostat for the
entire appliance (refrigerator and freezer sections.) The
higher the number setting, the longer the compressor will
run to keep the temperature colder. The freezer control
adjusts the cold air flow from the freezer to the
refrigerator. Setting the freezer control to a lower
temperature keeps more cold air in the Freezer
compartment to make it colder.

If you need to adjust temperatures in the refrigerator or
freezer, start by adjusting the refrigerator first. Wait 24
hours after the refrigerator adjustment to check the
freezer temperature. If it is too warm or too cold, then
adjust the freezer control as well.

Use the settings listed in the chart below as a guide.
Always remember to wait at least 24 hours between
adjustments.
