Whirlpool ET0WSRXML00 manual Using the Control, Refrigerator Shelves, Crisper and Crisper Cover

Using the Control

When you plug in the refrigerator for the first time, set the Temperature Control to MED. Temperature Control adjustments range from MIN. (warmest) to MAX. (coldest).

IMPORTANT:

■Turning the Temperature Control to OFF stops cooling in the refrigerator and freezer compartments, but it does not disconnect the refrigerator from the power supply.

■The Temperature Control regulates the temperature in both the refrigerator and freezer compartments. 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 your refrigerator. If you add food before the refrigerator has cooled completely, your food may spoil.

NOTE: Adjusting the Temperature Control to a higher (colder) setting will not cool the compartments any faster.

■The mid-settings should be correct for normal household usage. The controls are set correctly when milk or juice is as cold as you like and when ice cream is firm.

■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 controls.

Adjusting Controls

NOTE: Wait at least 24 hours between adjustments and then recheck the temperatures.

REFRIGERATOR FEATURES

Your model may have some or all of these features. Features that can be purchased separately as product accessories are labeled with the word “Accessory.” Not all accessories will fit all models. See the “Assistance or Service” section if you are interested in purchasing one of the accessories.

Important information to know about glass shelves and covers:

Do not clean glass shelves or covers with warm water when they are cold. Shelves and covers may break if exposed to sudden temperature changes or impact, such as bumping. For your protection, tempered glass is designed to shatter into many small, pebble-size pieces. This is normal. Glass shelves and covers are heavy. Use special care when re- moving them to avoid impact from dropping.

Refrigerator Shelves

(Glass Shelves on some models)

The shelves in your refrigerator are adjustable to match your individual storage needs.

Storing similar food items together in your refrigerator and adjusting the shelves to fit different heights of items will make finding the exact item you want easier. It will also reduce the amount of time the refrigerator door is open, and save energy.

To remove and replace a shelf:

1.Remove items from the shelf.

2.Lift back of shelf over stop.

3.Slide the shelf straight out.

4.Replace the shelf by sliding the back of the shelf into the track in the wall of the cabinet.

5.Guide the front of the shelf into the shelf track. Be sure to slide the shelf in all the way.
