ADJUSTING CONTROL SETTINGS
It is best to wait for 24 hours for the refrigerator to cool
down completely before making any adjustments to the
temperature settings. The initial settings mentioned in
SETTING THE CONTROLS section 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.
The refrigerator control functions as the thermostat for the
entire appliance (refrigerator and freezer sections). The
colder the setting, the longer the compressor will run to
keep the temperature colder. The freezer control adjusts
the cold air flow from the freezer to the refrigerator.
Setting the freezer control to a lower temperature keeps
more cold air in the freezer compartment to make it
colder.
If you need to adjust temperatures in the refrigerator or
freezer, start by adjusting the refrigerator and allow 24
hours for the temperatures to stabilize. If it is still too warm
or too cold, then adjust the freezer control.
Use the settings listed in the chart below as a guide.
Always remember to wait at least 24 hours between
adjustments.
