Adjusting the Control
Give the refrigerator time to cool down completely before adding food. It is best to wait 24 hours before putting food into the refrigerator. The control is set correctly when milk or juice is as cold as you like. Move the dial one setting at a time and wait 24 hours between adjustments.
IMPORTANT: If you add food before the refrigerator has cooled completely, your food may spoil. Turning the Temperature Control to a colder (higher) than recommended setting will not cool the compartment any faster.
NOTE: During high humidity, moisture may form on the outside of the refrigerator. To prevent rust, dry the refrigerator’s exterior and reset the Temperature Control to a colder (higher) setting.
Power Interruptions
If the electricity in your house goes off, call the power company and ask how long it will be off.
If the power will be off less than 4 hours, keep the refrigerator door closed to help foods stay cold.
If the power will be off more than 4 hours, use up any perishables and find alternative cold storage.
