IMPORTANT:
■Wait 24 hours before you put food into the refrigerator. If you add food before the refrigerator has cooled completely, your food may spoil.
NOTE: Adjusting the set points to a higher (colder) than recommended setting will not cool the compartments any faster.
■The preset settings should be correct for normal household usage. The controls are set correctly when milk or juice is as cold as you like and when ice cream is firm.
■Wait at least 24 hours between adjustments. Recheck the temperatures before other adjustments are made.
■The display screen on the dispenser control panel has a backlight, which will turn off automatically when the controls have not been used for 2 minutes or more.

Within 2 minutes after the backlight has been reactivated, additional presses of control buttons or the display screen will change the applicable settings.
