Using the Controls
Depending on your model, the control panel is located either at the top front of the refrigerator compartment or on the dispenser display. Follow the instructions specific to your model.
IMPORTANT:

NOTE: Adjusting the refrigerator and freezer temperature controls to a colder than recommended setting will not cool the compartments any faster.
