Using Your Refrigerator
To obtain the best possible results from your refrigerator, it is important that you operate it properly. This section tells you how to set the controls, remove and adjust the features in your refrigerator, and how to save energy.
Setting the controls
The controls for your refrigerator are located on the upper rear wall of the refrigerator section. The FREEZER control regulates the temperature in the freezer section, and the REFRIGERATOR control regulates the temperature in the refrigerator section. When the FREEZER control is turned to off, neither the REFRIGERATOR nor FREEZER sections will cool. When you plug the refrigerator in for the first time:
1.Set the FREEZER control to 4 (recommended setting). Freezer control settings range from 1 (warmest) to 7 (coldest).
2.Set the REFRIGERATOR control to 4 (recom- mended setting). Refrigerator control settings range from 1 (warmest) to 7 (coldest).
Give the refrigerator 24 hours after connecting to cool down completely. After that, you can adjust the con- trols as needed. The setting indicated above should be correct for normal household use. Your controls will be set correctly when your milk and juice are as cold as you like and your ice cream is firm.
