Setting the controls
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 refrigerator 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 “Changing the control 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.
