Using the Controls
The control center is located on the front of the ice and water dispenser.
Temperature Controls
For your convenience, your temperature controls are preset at the factory. When you first install your refrigerator, make sure the controls are still set to the recommended set points as shown.
Recommended Settings
IMPORTANT:
■When the power is on, the temperature display shows the set point temperature of the compartment.
■Wait 24 hours for your refrigerator to cool completely before adding food. If you add food before the refrigerator has cooled completely, your food may spoil.
NOTE: Adjusting the refrigerator and freezer temperature controls to a colder than recommended setting will not cool the compartments any faster.
■The recommended settings 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.
■If the temperature is too warm or too cold in the refrigerator or freezer, first check the air vents to be sure they are not blocked before adjusting the controls.

■Depending on your model you may have a control center with an On/Off button (Style 1), or you may have a control center without an On/Off button (Style 2).
