About the controls on the refrigerator.

Initially set the fresh food and freezer controls at 5. If you want colder or warmer temperatures, adjust the fresh food temperature first. When satisfied with that setting, adjust the freezer temperature.

Control Settings

1

Fresh Food Control

 

The fresh food control maintains the temperatures throughout the fresh food compartment.

2

Freezer Control

 

The freezer control maintains the temperatures throughout the freezer compartment.

Moving the freezer control to OFF stops cooling in both areas—fresh food and freezer—but does not shut off power to the refrigerator.

How To Test Temperatures

Use the milk test for the fresh food compartment. Place a container of milk on the top shelf and check it a day later. If the milk is too warm or too cold, adjust the temperature controls.

Use the ice cream test for the freezer compartment. Place a container of ice cream in the center of the freezer and check it after a day. If it’s too hard or too soft, adjust the temperature controls.

After changing the controls, allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to reach the temperature you have set.
