REFRIGERATOR & FREEZER CONTROLS

_ecommenaeo

NOTE: When first setting the controls or when changing a setting, wait 24 hours for the temperature to stabilize before making additional changes.

TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT

NOTE: When first turning refrigerator on, move refrigerator and freezer controls to Y which is the recommended

initial setting. After 24 hours, adjust the controls as needed.

-Adjust temperature gradually: move the knob in small increments, allowing the temperature to stabilize.

-For colder temperatures, turn the knob towards Colder.

-For warmer temperatures, turn the knob towards Cold.

Turning the refrigerator control will change temperatures in both compartments. For example, if the refrigerator control is turned to a colder setting, the freezer control may have to be adjusted to a warmer setting. Turning the freezer control will change only the freezer temperature.

To maintain temperatures, a fan circulates airin the refrigerator and freezer compartments. For good circulation, do not block cold air vents with food items.

IMPORTANT: Turning the refrigerat0r temperature control to "0" turns off the compressor and prevents your refrigerator from cooling, but does not disconnect the power to the light bulbs an d Other electrica! components, To turn off power to your refrigerator You must unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
