Checklist
Freezer Control
The freezer control maintains the temperature in the freezer compartment.
Refrigerator Control
The refrigerator control maintains the temperature throughout the refrigerator compartment.
Moving the refrigerator control to OFF stops cooling in both areas---refrigerator and freezer---but
does not shut off power to the refrigerator.
After changing the controls, allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to reach the temperature you have set.
Install Top Hinge Cover
If not already installed, locate the plastic hinge
cover inside the parts kit and carefully snap it over
the top hinge.
Adjust Rollers So Doors/Drawer Automatically Close
The refrigerator should be elevated slightly at the front so
the doors/drawer will close automatically when partially
open. See Preparing to Install the Refrigerator.
Initially set the refrigerator and freezer controls at 5.
For refrigerator and freezer, 5 is normal, 9 is coldest.
If you want colder or warmer temperatures, adjust the
refrigerator temperature first. When satisfied with that
setting, adjust the freezer temperature.
