ENSURING PROPER AIR CIRCULATION

In order to ensure proper temperatures, air must flow
between the refrigerator and freezer sections. As shown
in the illustration below, air enters at top of the freezer and
circulates down. From the bottom of the freezer, air is
forced up to the top of the refrigerator. Air enters
refrigerator through the top vent, then circulates and
exists at the bottom, where it returns to the freezer.

MULTI-FLOW

Multi-Flow means powerful and effective cooling

operation. This is especially noticeable when new food
is placed in the refrigerator compartment.

If water or foreign substances enter the cool air vent

while cleaning, efficiency will be lowered. In addition, if
gasket is damaged, efficiency may be lowered because
of escaping cool air.

Do not block any of cool air vents with food packages.
If the vents are blocked, airflow will be interrupted and
temperature and moisture problems may occur.

IMPORTANT: Because air circulates between both
sections, any odors formed in one section will transfer to
the other. You must thoroughly clean both sections to
eliminate odors. To prevent odor transfer and drying out of
food, wrap or cover foods tightly. (See the Food Storage
Guide section for details.)

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 (–18°C).
Leave it at this setting for 24 hours (one day) to
stabilize. Then adjust the compartment temperature as
desired.

Refrigerator Temp Control: 33°F to 46°F (0°C to 8°C)

The lower the number setting, the colder the refrigerator
compartment will become.

Freezer Temp Control: -6°F to 8°F (-21°C to -13°C)

When the setting is at a lower number, the freezer
compartment becomes colder. The refrigerator
compartment becomes warmer because less cold air
flows into the refrigerator.

NOTE: If you want to change °F to °C or the reverse,
press and hold FREEZER key and REFRIGERATOR key
simultaneously for 5 seconds or more.

NOTE: If you want to off display, press and hold ICE
PLUS key and FREEZER key over 5 seconds at the
same time.

NOTE: Touch display once to activate, then touch again to
change the settings or activate a function. If 10 seconds
has passed since the display has been touched, it will be
necessary to touch “once” again to reactivate.

☞ This is to prevent accidental display setting changes.

ICE PLUS : Press the ICE PLUS 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 dispenser will not operate. To
unlock, press and hold the LOCK button for 3 seconds.

Filter Reset : It displays in months the number of

months left to exchange the filter from the moment
power is connected to the refrigerator. If you have
changed the filter after 6 months of use, press and hold
the FILTER button 3 seconds or more and the filter
display will be initialized with a buzzing sound.

NOTE: The average life of the filter is 6 months.

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