The temperature controls are preset in the factory at 5 for both the refrigerator and freezer compartments. Allow 24 hours for the temperature to stabilize to the preset recommended settings.
Several adjustments may be required. Adjust the controls one increment at a time, and allow 24 hours after each adjustment for the refrigerator to reach the setting you have selected.
Setting either or both controls to 0 stops cooling in both the freezer and refrigerator compartments, but does not shut off electrical power to the refrigerator.
Control settings will vary based on personal preferences, usage and operating conditions and may require more than one adjustment.
NOTE: The refrigerator is shipped with protective film covering the temperature controls. If this film was not removed during installation, remove it now.

How it Works
TurboCool rapidly cools the refrigerator compartment in order to more quickly cool foods. Use TurboCool when adding a large amount of food to the refrigerator compartment, putting away foods after they have been sitting out at room temperature or when putting away warm leftovers. It can also be used if the refrigerator has been without power for an extended period.
Once activated, the compressor will turn on immediately and the fans will cycle on and off at high speed as needed for eight hours. The compressor will continue to run until the refrigerator compartment cools to approximately 34°F (1°C), then it will cycle on and off to maintain this setting. After 8 hours, or if TurboCool is pressed again, the refrigerator compartment will return to the original setting.
How to Use
Press TurboCool. The TurboCool indicator light will come on; however, the refrigerator temperature display will still show the current setting.
After TurboCool is complete, the TurboCool indicator light will go out.
NOTES: The refrigerator temperature cannot be changed during TurboCool.
The freezer temperature is not affected during TurboCool.
When opening the refrigerator door during TurboCool, the fans will continue to run if they have cycled on.
