REFRIGERATOR USE
Using the Controls
For your convenience, your refrigerator controls are preset at the
factory. When you first install your refrigerator, make sure that the
controls are still preset. The Refrigerator Control and the Freezer
Control should both be at the “mid-settings” as shown in the
following sections.
n 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.
IMPORTANT: If you add food before the refrigerator has
cooled completely, your food may spoil. Turning the
Refrigerator and Freezer Controls to a higher (colder) than
recommended setting will not cool the compartments any
faster.
n The “mid-settings” should be correct for normal household
refrigerator usage. The controls are set correctly when milk or
juice is as cold as you like and when ice cream is firm.
If you need to adjust temperatures in the refrigerator or freezer,
use the settings listed in the following chart as a guide. Wait at
least 24 hours between adjustments.
NOTE: The Automatic Exterior Moisture control continuously
guards against moisture buildup on the outside of your
refrigerator. This control does not have to be set or adjusted.
Setting the Controls
The Refrigerator Control adjusts the refrigerator compartment
temperature. Settings to the left of the mid-setting make the
temperature less cold. Settings to the right of the mid-setting
make the temperature colder.
The Freezer Control adjusts the freezer compartment
temperature. Settings to the left of the mid-setting make the
temperature less cold. Settings to the right of the mid-setting
make the temperature colder.

Convertible Drawer Temperature Control
(on some models)
The control can be adjusted to properly chill meats or vegetables.
The air inside the pan is cooled to avoid “spot” freezing and can
be set to keep meats at the National Livestock and Meat Board
recommended storage temperatures of 28° to 32°F (-2° to 0°C).
The convertible vegetable/meat drawer control comes preset at
the lowest meat setting.
To store meat:
Set the control to one of the three MEAT settings to store meat at
its optimal storage temperature.
To store vegetables:
Set the control to VEG to store vegetables at their optimal storage
temperatures.
NOTE: If food starts to freeze, move the control to the left (less
cold). Remember to wait 24
hours between adjustments.
Crisper Humidity Control
(on some models)
You can control the amount of humidity in the moisture-sealed
crisper. Adjust the control to any setting between LOW and HIGH.
LOW (open) for best storage of fruits and vegetables with skins.
HIGH (closed) for best storage of fresh, leafy vegetables.
