REFRIGERATOR USE

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:

■Wait 24 hours for your refrigerator to cool completely before adding food. If you add food before the refrigerator has cooled completely, your food may spoil.

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

■The recommended setting should be correct for normal household refrigerator use. 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.

Cooling Off/On

■Press and hold TEMP for 3 seconds to turn cooling off. To turn cooling back on, press and hold TEMP again for 3 seconds.

NOTE: Neither compartment will cool when the control is set to OFF.
