Ensuring Proper Air Circulation; Using The Controls - Sears KENMORE ELITE 106.4116 Serie Manual De Uso

Ensuring Proper Air Circulation

In order to ensure proper temperatures, you need to permit air
to flow between the two sections. Cold air enters the bottom of
the freezer section and moves up. It then enters the refrigerator
section through the top vent. (On Style 2 models, this air is also
evenly distributed throughout the refrigerator compartment
through six vents on the back wall.) Air then returns to the
freezer as shown.
Style 1
Do not block any of these vents with food such as soda, cereal,
bread, etc. If the vents are blocked, airflow will be obstructed
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 avoid odor
transfer and drying out of food, wrap or cover foods tightly.

Using the Controls

The refrigerator and freezer controls are located on the
dispenser panel.
IMPORTANT: The display screen on the dispenser control panel
will turn off automatically and enter "sleep" mode when the
control buttons and dispenser pad have not been used for
2 minutes or more. While in "sleep" mode, the first press of a
control button will only reactivate the display screen, without
changing any settings.
Touch any control button on the dispenser panel to activate
the display screen. The home screen will appear as shown.

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:
Style 2
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 MEASURED FILL
button when adjust mode is activated. To return the display
setting to Fahrenheit, press MEASURED FILL again.
Adjusting the Controls
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.
When adjust mode is activated, the display screen shows
the refrigerator set point and "REFRIGERATOR" appears.
Press SETTINGS to raise the set point, or press
TEMPERATURE to lower the set point.
When you have finished viewing (and adjusting if desired)
the refrigerator set point, press ACCENT LIGHT to change
the display to show the freezer set point. When the zone has
been changed, "FREEZER" appears on the display screen.
Press SETTINGS to raise the set point, or press
TEMPERATURE to lower the set point.
