•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 23 for instructions on checking compartment temperature.
•Except when starting the refrigerator, do not change either control more than one number at a time.
•Allow 24 hours for temperatures to stabilize.
