REFRIGERATOR USE

Using the Controls

The temperature controls are located at the top front of the refrigerator or freezer compartments.

Temperature Controls

For your convenience, the temperature controls are preset at the factory. When you first install your refrigerator, make sure the controls are still set to the recommended setting as shown.

Style 1 - Electronic

Recommended Setting “3 Snowflakes”

Style 2 - Dial

Recommended Setting “3 Snowflakes”

IMPORTANT:

■The recommended setting should be correct for normal household refrigerator use. The controls are set correctly when milk or juice is as cold as you like and when ice cream is firm.

■Wait 24 hours for your refrigerator to cool completely before adding food. If you add food before the refrigerator has cooled completely, your food may spoil.

NOTE: Adjusting the refrigerator and freezer temperature controls to a colder than recommended setting will not cool the compartments any faster.

■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 the controls.

Style 2 - Move the dial to the desired number of snowflakes from (1 least cold to 5 coldest).
