Initial Control Settings
After plugging the refrigerator in, set the controls.
•Pressing the @ or @ pads adjusts the controls to the desired setting.
•The temperature control range for both compartments is 1 through 7 (coldest).
•Initially set the refrigerator control on 4.
•Initially set the freezer control on 4.
•Let the refrigerator run at least 8 to 12 hours before adding food.
Warm Cabinet Surfaces
At times, the front of the refrigerator cabinet may be warm to the touch. This is a normal occurrence that
helps prevent moisture from condensing on the cabinet. This condition will be more noticeable when
you first start the refrigerator, during hot weather and after excessive or lengthy door openings.
Adjusting the Controls
24 hours after adding food, you may decide that one or both compartments should be colder or warmer. If so, adjust the control(s) as indicated in the Temperature Control Guide table below. See page 18 for instructions on checking compartment temperature.
•Except when starting the refrigerator, do not change either control more than one number at a time.
•Allow 2/4 hours for temperatures to stabilize.
•Changing either control will have some effect on the temperature of the other compartment.

Moisture Control Switch (select models)
Off - The refrigerator uses more energy when this switch is off, because a heater located in the hinged seal section of the door is running. This heater helps prevent condensation formation on the exterior of the hinged seal. Turn the switch OFF when the environment is warm and more humid or if moisture is noticed on the door exterior.
•On - This setting saves energy by not using the heater. Turn the switch ON when the environment is
less humid.
