IMPORTANT: If you add food before the refrigerator has cooled completely, your food may spoil. Adjusting the Refrigerator and
Freezer Controls to a higher (colder) than recommended setting will not cool the compartments any faster.
Adjusting Control Settings
Give the refrigerator time to cool down completely before adding food. It is best to wait 24 hours before you put food into the refrigerator. The settings indicated in the previous section should be correct for normal household refrigerator usage. The controls are set correctly when milk or juice is as cold as you like and when ice cream is firm.
If you need to adjust temperatures in the refrigerator or freezer, use the settings listed in the chart below as a guide. Wait at least 24 hours between adjustments.
