Using the Controls
For your convenience, your refrigerator controls are preset at the
factory. When installing your refrigerator, make sure that the
controls are still preset to the “mid-settings” as shown.
Style 1
Style 2
IMPORTANT:
■Your product will not cool when the Refrigerator Control is set
to OFF.
■The Refrigerator Control adjusts the refrigerator compartment
temperature. The Freezer Control adjusts the freezer
compartment temperature. Higher numbered settings make
the compartment colder. Lower numbered settings make the
temperature less cold.
■Wait 24 hours before you put food into the refrigerator. If you
add food before the refrigerator has cooled completely, your
food may spoil.
NOTE: Adjusting the Refrigerator and Freezer Controls to a
higher (colder) setting will not cool the compartments any
faster.
■The preset settings should be correct for normal household
usage. 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.
Adjusting the Controls
If you need to adjust temperatures, adjust the refrigerator
temperature first.
NOTE: Wait at least 24 hours between adjustments and then
recheck the temperatures.
Style 1
Turn the control to the right (clockwise) to make the compartment
colder or to the left (counterclockwise) to make it less cold.
Style 2
1. Push in on the control and release it.
2. The control will pop out. Turn the control to the desired
setting.
3. Push the control in to lock it into place.
Water and Ice Dispensers
(on some models)
Depending on your model, you may have one or more of the
following options: the ability to select either crushed or cubed
ice, a special light that turns on when you use the dispenser, a
special Night Light mode, or a lock option to avoid accidental
dispensing.
