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 should both be at the “mid-settings” as shown in
the illustrations below.
For both Style 1 and Style 2, 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.
For both Style 1 and Style 2, 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.
NOTE: For Style 1, your product will not cool when the
Refrigerator Control is set to OFF. For Style 2, your product will
not cool when the Freezer Control is set to OFF.

Give your refrigerator time to cool down completely before
adding food. It is best to wait 24 hours before you put food into
the refrigerator.
IMPORTANT: If you add food before the refrigerator has cooled
completely, your food may spoil. Adjusting the Refrigerator and
Freezer Controls to a higher (colder) than recommended
setting will not cool the compartments any faster.
NOTE: The Automatic Exterior Moisture control continuously
guards against moisture buildup on the outside of your
refrigerator cabinet. This control does not have to be set or
adjusted.
