Using Your Refrigerator
To obtain the best possible results from your refrigerator, it is important that you operate it properly. This section tells you how to set the temperature control, remove and adjust some of the features in your refrigerator, and how to save energy.
Setting the dial controls
(on some models)
Freeze; control Refrigeiator control
Controls for the refrigerator and freezer are in the refrigerator. When you plug in the refrigerator for the first time:
1.Set the Refrigerator Control to 3. Refrigerator Control adjustments range from 1 (warmest) to 5 (coldest).
2.Set the Freezer Control to B. Freezer Control adjustments range from A (warmest) to C (coldest).
3.Give the refrigerator time to cool down completely before adding food. (This may take several hours.)
The settings indicated above should be correct for normal, household refrigera- tor usage. The controls will be set correctly when milk or juice is as cold as you like and when ice cream is firm. If you need to adjust these settings, see “Recommended settings” below.
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.
