Ensuring Proper Air Circulation

In order to ensure proper temperatures, you need to permit airflow inside the drawers.

Do not block any airflow vents. If the vents are blocked, airflow will be obstructed and temperature and moisture problems may occur.

IMPORTANT: To avoid odor transfer and drying out of food, wrap or cover foods tightly.

Using the Controls

The control panels for both refrigerator drawers are located in the upper drawer. To view and set the Upper and Lower control panel, pull out the upper drawer.

IMPORTANT:

Wait 24 hours after you turn on the refrigerator drawers before you put food into the drawers. If you add food before the drawers have cooled completely, your food may spoil.

NOTE: Adjusting the controls to a lower (colder) setting in one or both drawers will not cool them any faster.

If the temperature is too warm or too cold in the drawers, first check the air vents to be sure they are not blocked before adjusting the controls.

The preset settings should be correct for normal household usage. The refrigerator control is set correctly when milk or juice is as cold as you like.

The freezer control is set correctly when ice cream is firm.

The actual temperature may differ from the display when a drawer is open for an extended period of time.
