USING YOUR REFRIGERATOR

SETTING THE CONTROL

NOTES:

The control for the refrigerator and freezer is located in the top of the refrigerator section. It controls the temperature in both the refrigerator and freezer compartments.

When you first install your refrigerator, set the Temperature Control to 3 (normal). Temperature Control adjustments range from 1 (warmest) to 5 (coldest).

1 3 normal

off

5 coldest

•The built-in exterior moisture control continuously guards against moisture build-up on the outside of the refrigerator cabinet.

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

IMPORTANT: Give the refrigerator time to cool down completely before adding food. This could take several hours. If you add food before the refrigerator has cooled completely your food may spoil. Turning the control to a higher than recommended setting will not cool the compartment any faster. The control settings indicated in “Changing the Control Settings” section should be correct for normal household refrigerator usage. The control is set correctly when milk or juice is as cold as you like and when ice cream is firm.

CHANGING THE CONTROL SETTINGS
