Operating Instructions

Control Settings

Freezer Control

The freezer control moves a damper to change the amount of cold air that moves from the freezer to the refrigerator compartment.

Refrigerator Control

The refrigerator control maintains the temperatures throughout the refrigerator.

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

How To Test Temperatures

Use the milk test for the refrigerator 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 control.

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 control.

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

Food Storage

The type of packaging used and the storage temperatures will affect how long food will keep in the refrigerator.

New food storage guidelines are constantly being developed.
