Airflow
In order to ensure proper temperatures, air must flow between the refrigerator and freezer sections. The arrows in the figure indicate air vent locations and direction of airflow.
Do not block any of the cool air vents with food
packages. If the vents are blocked, airflow will be interrupted and temperature and moisture problems may occur.
If you add a large amount of food, the refrigerator will take longer to cool it.
At initial
Caution When Closing the Door
The refrigerator control functions as the thermostat for the entire appliance (refrigerator and freezer sections). The colder the setting, the longer the compressor will run to keep the temperature colder. The freezer control adjusts the cold air flow from the freezer to the refrigerator. Setting the freezer control to a lower temperature keeps more cold air in the freezer compartment to make it colder.
If you need to adjust temperatures in the refrigerator or freezer, start by adjusting the refrigerator and allow 24 hours for the temperatures to stabilize. If it
is still too warm or too cold, then adjust the freezer control.
Always remember to wait at least 24 hours between adjustments.
CONDITION/RECOMMENDED
REASON:ADJUSTMENT:
[] REFRIGERATOR section too
warm
-Door opened often
-Large amount of food added
-Room temperature very warm
Adjust the REFRIGERATOR temperature.
Note: When changing temperature settings,make
adjustments one increment at a time and wait 24 hours
between adjustments.
•, CAUTION
To reduce the risk of door scratches and breaking the door mullion, please make sure that the refrigerator door mullion is always folded in.
If moisture gathers on the refrigerator door mullion at any point, turn off the Energy Saver mode until the issue is resolved.

It is best to wait 24 hours for the refrigerator to cool down completely before making any adjustments to the temperature settings. The initial settings mentioned in SETTING THE CONTROLS section should be correct for normal household refrigerator use. The controls are set correctly when milk or juice is as cold as you like and when ice cream is firm.
