After plugging in the RF323, it will take several hours for it to cool, and as much as 24 hours for the refrigerator and freezer to cool completely. This depends on several factors, including the starting and set temperatures and the temperature of food placed in side. If, for example, the food you're storing is colder than the set temperature to start with, this may help to speed up the cooling process; if the items are warmer, this can cause it to take longer to cool. Since some foods should not be stored below certain temperatures, it's a good idea to wait until the refrigerator is sufficiently cool to store these items. Similarly, frozen items should not be placed in the freezer until it's cold enough to prevent them from thawing.

For more information on getting started with your new refrigerator, please refer to page 11 of the user manual.

Yes, you can turn each icemaker on or off independently by pressing the Ice Off button on the control panel repeatedly until the Ice Off icon that corresponds with the icemaker you wish to turn off is illuminated.

Thanks for your interest!

Thanks for the question. Turning off the water supply line to replace the filter is not a requirement, but doing so may help to alleviate pressure in the lines if you find it difficult to remove the old cartridge or insert a new one.
