KitchenAid 2200139A manual Setting the Controls, Adjusting Control Settings

Setting the Controls

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 at the “mid-settings” as shown in the illustrations below.

The Refrigerator Control adjusts the refrigerator 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.

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.

NOTE: Your product will not cool when the Freezer Control is set to OFF.

Give your refrigerator time to cool down completely before adding food. It is best to wait 24 hours before you put food into the refrigerator.

IMPORTANT: If you add food before the refrigerator has cooled completely, your food may spoil. Turning the

Refrigerator and Freezer Controls to a higher (colder) than recommended setting will not cool the compartments any faster.

NOTE: The Automatic Exterior Moisture control continuously guards against moisture buildup on the outside of your refrigerator cabinet. This control does not have to be set or adjusted.

Adjusting Control Settings

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.

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.
