In order to obtain the best possible results from your refrigerator, it is important that you operate it properly. This section will tell you how to do just that.

Setting the controls

Temperature controls

Controls for the refrigerator and freezer are in the refrigerator. When the refrigerator is plugged in for the first time:

1. Set the Refrigerator Control to 4.

Refrigerator Control adjustments range from 1 (warmest) to 8 (coldest).

2.Set the Freezer Control to C.

Freezer Control adjustments range from A (coldest) to D (warmest).

3.Give the refrigerator time to cool down completely before adding food. This may take several hours.

The settings indicated above should be correct for normal, household refrigerator usage. The controls will be set correctly when milk or juice is as cold as you like and when ice cream is firm. If you need to adjust these settings, see “Changing the control settings” on page 8.

Exterior moisture control

The Exterior Moisture Control operates electric heaters around the door openings. These heaters help keep moisture from forming on the outside of the refrigerator cabinet.

1.Use the OFF setting when humidity IS low.

2.Use the ON setting if moisture forms on the outside of the refrigerator cabinet,
