IMPORTANT:

■Your product will not cool when the REFRIGERATOR Control is set to OFF.

■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.
