REFRIGERATOR USE

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. Air then returns to the freezer as

shown.

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.

For your convenience, your refrigerator controls are preset at the

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

controls are still preset. The Refrigerator Control and the Freezer

Control should both be set to the "mid-settings."

IMPORTANT:

• Your unit will not cool when the REFRIGERATOR Control is

set to OFR

The Refrigerator Control adjusts the refrigerator compartment

temperature. The Freezer Control adjusts the freezer

compartment temperature. Settings to the left of the mid-

setting make the temperature less cold. Settings to the right

of the mid-setting make the temperature colder.

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 Refrigerator and Freezer Controls to a

higher (colder) than recommended setting will not cool the

compartments any faster.

Adjusting Controls

Give the refrigerator time to cool down completely before adding

food. It is best to wait 24 hours before you put food into the

refrigerator. The settings indicated in the previous section should

be correct for normal household refrigerator usage. The controls

are set correctly when milk or juice is as cold as you like and

when ice cream is firm.

Rotary Controls: Turn the control right (clockwise) to make the

compartment colder. Turn the control left (counterclockwise) to

make it less cold. To turn the cooling system off, turn the

Refrigerator Control counterclockwise until it reaches the OFF

position.

Slide Controls: Slide the control one setting to the right to make

the compartment colder. Slide the control one setting to the left

to make it less cold.

If you need to adjust temperatures in the refrigerator or freezer,

use the settings listed in the chart below as a guide. Wait at least

24 hours between adjustments.

Do not block any airflow vents. If the vents are blocked, airflow

will be obstructed and temperature and moisture problems may

occur.
