Setting the Controls
For your convenience, your refrigerator controls are
preset at the factory. When you first install your
refrigerator, make sure that the controls are still preset.
The Refrigerator Control and the Freezer Control sh ould
both be at the “mid-settings” as shown in the ill ustrations
below.
The Refrigerator Control adjusts the refrigerator
compartment temperature. Settings to the left of the
mid-setting make the temperature less cold. Settings to
the right of the mid-setting make the temperature colder.
The Freezer Control adjusts the freezer compartment
temperature. Settings to the left of the mid-setting make
the temperature less cold. Settings to the right of the mid-
setting make the temperature colder.

IMPORTANT: If you add food before the refrigerator has
cooled completely, your food may spoil. Turni ng th e

compartments any faster.
NOTE: The Automatic Exterior Moisture control
