REFRIGERATOR USE
Using the Controls
Your refrigerator has two controls that aect the
temperature.
The Temperature control is located at the top front of
the refrigerator compartment and the Airow control is
located on the back wall of the freezer compartment.
IMPORTANT:
• 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 rm.
• 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.
• If the temperature is too warm or too cold in the
refrigerator or freezer, rst check the air vents to be
sure they are not blocked before adjusting the controls.
Refrigerator Temperature Control
The temperature control dial is calibrated in a range
from 1 (least cold) to 7 (coldest). For your convenience,
the Temperature control is preset at the factory to the
recommended setting (4).
Recommended Setting “4”
NOTE:
Your refrigerator will run continuously for several
hours when you rst start it. This is normal.
Adjusting the Temperature Control
If you need to adjust the temperature in the refrigerator
(or freezer compartment), follow the indications in the
TEMPERATURE CONTROL GUIDE table.
NOTE:
Do not adjust the control more than one setting
at a time. Wait 24 hours between adjustments for the
temperature to stabilize.
• Garage Ready Settings: For optimal operation in
a garage environment, set temperature control in
refrigerator compartment to 4 and set temperature
control in freezer compartment to Recommended.
NOTE:
Sustained exposure to ambient temperatures below
39°F (4°C) may result in freezing of food and beverages
stored in the refrigeration section.
Freezer Temperature Control
The temperature control dial is calibrated in a range from
“Coldest” to “Cold”.
For your convenience, the Temperature control is preset at
the factory to the recommended setting which is indicated
on the dial.
Use the freezer temperature control to adjust the freezer
temperature to your desired condition. It is recommended
that when you plug in the refrigerator for the rst time,
make sure the control setting is on Recommended.
Adjusting the Freezer Temperature
If you need to adjust the temperature in the freezer (or
refrigerator compartment), follow the indications in the
TEMPERATURE CONTROL GUIDE table below.
IMPORTANT:
Once the performance is achieved, return
the Airow control to the Recommended setting to keep
the refrigerator operating at optimum eciency.
