USING YOUR

REFRIGERATOR

Ensuring Proper Air Circulation

In order to ensure proper temperatures, you need to permit air flow between the refrigerator and freezer sections. As shown in the illustration, cool air enters through the bottom of the freezer section and moves up. Most of the air then flows through the freezer section vents and recirculates under the freezer floor. The rest of the air enters the refrigerator section through the top vent.

Do not block any of these vents with food packages. If the vents are blocked, airflow will be prevented and temperature and moisture problems may occur.

IMPORTANT: Because air circulates between both sections, any odors formed in one section will transfer to the other. You must thoroughly clean both sections to eliminate odors. To prevent odor transfer and drying out of food, wrap or cover foods tightly. (See the “Food Storage Guide” section for details.)

Setting the Control

For your convenience, the Temperature Control is preset at the factory. 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, make sure that the Temperature Control is still preset. The Temperature Control should be at the “mid-setting” (3), as shown in the illustration below.

1 3 normal

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

Give your refrigerator time to cool down completely before adding food. It is best to wait 24 hours before you put food into the refrigerator.

IMPORTANT: If you add food before the refrigerator has cooled completely, your food may spoil. Turning the

Temperature Control to a higher (colder) than recommended setting will not cool the compartments any faster.
