•Organize the refrigerator to reduce door openings. Remove as many items as needed at one time and close the door as soon as possible.

SETTING THE TEMPERATURE CONTROL

COOL DOWN PERIOD

For safe food storage, allow 4 hours for the refrigerator to cool down completely. The refrigerator will run continuously for the first several hours.

TEMPERATURE CONTROL

The temperature control is located inside the refrigerator. The temperature is factory preset to provide satisfactory food storage temperatures. However, the temperature control is adjustable to provide a range of temperatures for your personal satisfaction. If a colder temperature is desired, turn the temperature control knob toward COLDEST and allow several hours for temperatures to stabilize between adjustments.

ENERGY SAVING TIPS

• Install the refrigerator in the coolest part of the room,

out of direct sunlight and away from heating ducts or

registers. Do not place the refrigerator next to heat-

Multi-position adjustable interior shelves can be moved to any position for larger or smaller packages. The shipping spacers that stabilize the shelves for shipping should be removed and discarded.

Adjustable Interior Shelves

	producing appliances such as a range, oven or
	dishwasher.
•	Level the refrigerator so the doors close tightly.
•	Do not overcrowd the refrigerator or block cold air

vents. Doing so causes the refrigerator to run longer and use more energy. Shelves should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper or paper toweling. Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the refrigerator less efficient, which could cause food spoilage.

AUTOMATIC FREEZE CONTROL

The Freeze Control Feature will maintain proper interior refrigerator temperature even when the refrigerator is placed in an area where the surrounding temperature drops down to 10° F (-12° C).
