Setting the controls

Controls for the refrigerator and freezer are in the refrigerator. To adiust a control, turn knob. When the refrigerator is plugged in for the first time:

1. Set the refrigerator Control to 3.

2. Set the Freezer Control to B.

Give the refrigerator time to cool down com- pletely before adding food. (This may take several hours.)

These settings should be right for normal household refrigerator usage.

The controls will be set about right when milk or juice is as cold as you like and when ice cream is firm.

Refrigerator Control adjustments range from

1 to 5. Freezer Control adjustments range from AtoC.
