Temperature adjustment
•Adjust temperature gradually: move the knob in small increments, allowing the temperature to stabilize.
•For colder temperatures, turn the knob towards Colder.
•For warmer temperatures, turn the knob towards Cold.
Turning the refrigerator control will change temperatures in both compartments. For example, if the refrigerator control is turned to a colder setting, the freezer control may have to be adjusted to a warmer setting. Turning the freezer control will change only the freezer temperature.
To maintain temperatures, a fan circulates air in the refrigerator and freezer compartments. For good circulation, do not block cold air vents with food items.
IMPORTANT
Turning the refrigerator temperature control to “0” turns off the compressor and prevents the refrigerator from cooling, but does not disconnect the power to the light bulb and other electrical components. To turn off power to your refrigerator, you must unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
