Refrigerator Features

This refrigerator operates most efficiently at household temperatures of 13°–43°C (55°–110°F).

Refrigerator and Freezer Controls

Refrigerator and freezer controls are located on center divider between refrigerator and freezer sections.

When freezer control is set to OFF, neither refrigerator nor freezer sections will cool. Initially, set both controls to 4. Wait 24 hours for refrigerator and freezer sections to reach desired temperatures. After 24 hours, adjust controls, one number at a time, as desired. 1 is warmest setting and 7 is coldest.

Exterior Moisture Control

Exterior Moisture Control is located on center divider between refrigerator and freezer sections.

In humid conditions, refrigerators form condensation around doors. Special heaters in refrigerator cabinet minimize condensation.

Humidity depends on location of refrigerator. Set control to ON if refrigerator is in a humid area or whenever moisture is evident around doors. Set control to OFF if refrigerator is in a less humid area. Setting can be adjusted as conditions change.

High quality steel is used in this refrigerator. However, constant exposure to moisture may cause refrigerator cabinet to rust. Set control to ON anytime condensation forms on refrigerator cabinet.

Setting Controls

Set controls precisely with a household thermometer that includes temperatures between -21° to 10°C (-5° to 50°F).

Put thermometer snugly between frozen packages in freezer section. Wait 5–8 hours. If freezer temperature is not -18° to -16°C (0° to 2°F), adjust control, 1 number at a time. Check again after 5–8 hours.

Put thermometer in a glass of water in middle of refrigerator section. Wait 5–8 hours. If refrigerator temperature is not 3° to 4°C (38° to 40°F) , adjust control, 1 number at a time. Check again after 5–8 hours.
