OPERATING YOUR REFRIGERATOR
Proper Disposal of Your Old Refrigerator
WARNING
Suffocation Hazard
Remove doors or lid from your old freezer or
refrigerator.
Failure to do so can result in death or brain damage.
IMPORTANT: Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of
the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators are still
dangerous – even if they will sit for “just a few days.” If you are getting
rid of your old refrigerator, please follow these instructions to help
prevent accidents.
Before You Throw Away Your Old Refrigerator or Freezer:
Take off the doors.
Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb
inside.
Important information to know about disposal of
refrigerants:
Dispose of refrigerator in accordance with Federal and Local
regulations. Refrigerants must be evacuated by a licensed,
EPA certified refrigerant technician in accordance with
established procedures.
Using the Controls
Temperature Control
When you plug in the refrigerator for the
first time, set the Temperature Control to the
Recommended setting. Temperature Control
adjustments range from MIN (least cold) to
MAX (coldest).
IMPORTANT:
Turning the Temperature Control to OFF
stops cooling in the refrigerator and freezer
compartments, but it does not disconnect
the refrigerator from the power supply.
The Temperature Control regulates the temperature in both the
refrigerator and freezer compartments. 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.
Wait 24 hours before you put food into your refrigerator. If you add
food before the refrigerator has cooled completely, your food may
spoil.
NOTE: Adjusting the Temperature Control to a higher (colder)
setting will not cool the compartments any faster.
The mid-settings should be correct for normal household usage.
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, before adjusting the controls, first make sure the air vents
are not blocked.
CONDITION/REASON: ADJUSTMENT:
REFRIGERATOR too
warm
Temperature Control one setting higher
REFRIGERATOR too
warm/too little ice
Temperature Control one setting higher
REFRIGERATOR too cold Temperature Control one setting lower
FREEZER too cold Temperature Control one setting lower
Airflow Control
The Airflow control is located on the back wall
of the freezer. It regulates the amount of air
flowing between the freezer and the refrigerator
compartments.
When you plug in the refrigerator for the first time,
turn the Airflow control to the Recommended
setting.
Adjust the Airflow Control
If you want to temporarily increase the cold airflow to a specific
compartment, adjust the control.
IMPORTANT: Once the performance is achieved, return the Airflow
control to the Recommended setting to keep the refrigerator operating
at optimum efficiency.
CONDITION/REASON: ADJUSTMENT:
Heavy ice use Max
Hot room temperature Max - To maintain ice making
production rate
Large quantity of groceries Min - To quickly chill food and
beverages
Crisper Humidity Control (on some models)
You control the amount of humidity in the moisture-sealed crisper.
Depending on the produce you are storing, select the desired
Humidity Level.
Humidity Level - Min Setting
MIN (open) lets moist air out of the crisper for best storage of fruits
and vegetables with skins.
Fruit: Wash, let dry and store in refrigerator in plastic bag or
crisper. Do not wash or cut berries until they are ready to use.
Sort and keep berries in original container in crisper, or store in a
loosely closed paper bag on a refrigerator shelf.
Vegetables with skins: Place in plastic bag or plastic container
and store in crisper.
Adjust the Temperature Control
NOTE: Wait at least 24 hours between adjustments and then recheck
the temperatures.
