Setting the Control

For your convenience, the Temperature Control is preset at the factory. The control for the refrigerator and freezer is located in the top of the refrigerator section. It controls the temperature in both the refrigerator and freezer compartments.

When you first install your refrigerator, make sure that the Temperature Control is still preset. The Temperature Control should be at the “mid-setting” (3), as shown in the illustration below.

1 3 normal

off

5 coldest

NOTE: Turning the Temperature Control to OFF stops cooling in both the refrigerator and freezer compartments, but does not disconnect the refrigerator from the power supply.

Give your refrigerator time to cool down completely before adding food. It is best to wait 24 hours before you put food into the refrigerator.

IMPORTANT: If you add food before the refrigerator has cooled completely, your food may spoil. Turning the

Temperature Control to a higher (colder) than recommended setting will not cool the compartments any faster.

Adjusting Control Settings

Give the refrigerator time to cool down completely before adding food. It is best to wait 24 hours before you put food into the refrigerator. The “mid-setting” (3) indicated in the previous section should be correct for normal household refrigerator usage. The control is set correctly when milk or juice is as cold as you like and when ice cream is firm.

The Temperature Control functions as the thermostat for the entire product (refrigerator and freezer sections). The higher the number setting, the longer the compressor will run to keep the temperature colder.

Use the settings listed in the chart below as a guide.

Always remember to wait at least 24 hours between adjustments.
