Using the Freezer Control

The temperature control is located at the top front of the freezer
compartment.
Temperature Control
When you first install your refrigerator, check that the control is
set to the temperature that is desired for your food items.
There are three pre-set temperature buttons to choose from on
your freezer:
Soft Serve: Raises freezer temperature slightly to create
■
optimal conditions for serving ice cream.
Assorted: Multi-purpose setting accommodates a variety of
■
frozen items.
DeepFreeze: Lowers freezer temperature for longer-term
■
storage of frozen items.
IMPORTANT:
The Assorted setting is designed to maintain the temperature
■
at or near 0°F (-18°C) under normal operating conditions.
Wait 24 hours before you put food into the freezer. If you add
■
food before the freezer has cooled completely, your food
may spoil.
NOTE: Adjusting the temperature set point to a colder than
recommended setting will not cool the freezer any faster.
If the temperature is too warm or too cold in the freezer, first
■
check the air vents to be sure they are not blocked before
adjusting the control.
The Assorted setting should be correct for normal household ■
usage. The control is set correctly when
ice cream is firm.
When the freezer is first started, the compressor will run
■
constantly until the freezer is cooled. It may take up to 6 or
8 hours (or longer), depending on room temperature and the
number of times the freezer door is opened. After the freezer
is cooled, the compressor will turn on and off as needed to
keep the freezer at the proper temperature.
The outside of your freezer may feel warm. This is normal.
■
The freezer's design and main function is to remove heat
from packages and air space inside the freezer. The heat is
transferred to the room air, making the outside of the freezer
feel warm.
Adjusting Control
If you need to adjust the temperature in the freezer compartment,
press TEMP SETTING to display the desired temperature setting.
Choose from Soft Serve, Assorted, and Deepfreeze.
NOTE: When adjusting the control to a different setting, wait 24
hours between adjustments for the temperature to stabilize.
Cooling On/Off
Your freezer will not cool when cooling is turned off.
To turn cooling off, press and hold TEMP SETTING for 3 seconds.
In the Off position, none of the lights on the control panel will be
illuminated. The main freezer light bulb will still operate.
To turn cooling on, press and hold TEMP SETTING for 3 seconds.
When cooling is on, the control panel lights will be illuminated.
Max Cool
Use this feature to assist with periods of high freezer use, such as
full grocery loads or temporarily warm room temperature.
To activate Max Cool, press TEMP SETTING until all the
snowflake icons are illuminated simultaneously.
The freezer will remain in the Max Cool setting for 24 hours after
the extra-low temperature is reached. Once the time has expired,
the freezer will return to the previous temperature setting. Max
Cool may be manually turned off by pressing Temp Setting to
select the desired temperature setting from the snowflake on the
left (least cold) to the snowflake on the right (coldest).
