REFRIGERATOR USE

Using the Controls

Your refrigerator has two controls that affect the temperature.

The Temperature control is located at the top front of the

refrigerator compartment and the Airflow control is located on

the back wall of the freezer compartment.

IMPORTANT:

■ The recommended setting should be correct for normal

household refrigerator use. The controls are set correctly

when milk or juice is as cold as you like and when ice cream

is firm.

■ Wait 24 hours for your refrigerator to cool completely

before adding food. If you add food before the refrigerator

has cooled completely, your food may spoil.

NOTE: Adjusting the refrigerator and freezer temperature

controls 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.

Temperature Control

For your convenience, the Temperature control is preset at the

factory. When you first install your refrigerator, make sure the

control is still preset as shown.

Recommended Setting “3”

Cooling Off/On

■ Move the dial control to the word OFF. To turn cooling back

on, move the dial control to the desired temperature setting.

NOTE: Neither compartment will cool when the control is set to

OFF.

Adjusting the Temperature Control

If you need to adjust the temperature in either the refrigerator

or freezer compartment, use the settings listed in the chart

below as a guide.

NOTE: Except when starting the refrigerator, do not adjust the

control more than one setting at a time. Wait 24 hours between

adjustments for the temperature to stabilize.

■ Move the dial to the desired temperature from (1 least cold

to 5 coldest).

Airflow Control

The Airflow control regulates the amount of air flowing between

the freezer and the refrigerator compartments.

When you plug in the refrigerator for the first time, turn the

Airflow control to the Recommended setting.

Adjusting the Airflow Control

If you want to temporarily increase the cold airflow to a specific

compartment, adjust the control.

■ COLDEST - Increase airflow to the freezer

■ COLD - Increase airflow to the refrigerator

IMPORTANT: Once the performance is achieved, return the

Airflow control to the Recommended setting to keep the

refrigerator operating at optimum efficiency.
