About the temperature controls.
The temperature controls are preset in the factory at 5 for both the refrigerator
and freezer compartments. Allow 24 hours for the temperature to stabilize to the
preset settings.
Several adjustments may be required. Each time you adjust controls, allow 24 hours
after each adjustment for the refrigerator to reach the setting you have selected.
Setting either or both controls to 0 stops cooling in both the freezer and refrigerator
compartments, but does not shut off electrical power to the refrigerator.
Control settings will vary based on personal preferences, usage and operating
conditions and may require more than one adjustment.
NOTE: The refrigerator is shipped with protective film covering the temperature
controls. If this film was not removed during installation, remove it now.

About TurboCool .
How it Works
TurboCool rapidly cools the refrigerator
compartment in order to more quickly cool
foods. Use TurboCool when adding a large
amount of food to the refrigerator
compartment, putting away foods after they
have been sitting out at room temperature or
when putting away warm leftovers. It can also
be used if the refrigerator has been without
power for an extended period.
Once activated, the compressor will turn on
immediately and the fans will cycle on and
off at high speed as needed for eight hours.
The compressor will continue to run until the
refrigerator compartment cools to approximately
1°C, then it will cycle on and off to maintain
this setting. After 8 hours, or if TurboCool is
pressed again, the refrigerator compartment
will return to the original setting.
How to Use
Press TurboCool. The TurboCool indicator light
will come on.
After TurboCool is complete, the TurboCool
indicator light will go out.
NOTES:
The refrigerator temperature cannot be changed during
TurboCool.
The freezer temperature is not affected during
TurboCool.
When opening the refrigerator door during TurboCool,
the fans will continue to run if they have cycled on.
