ADJUSTING CONTROL SETTINGS
Give the refrigerator time to cool down completely
before making final adjustments. It is best to wait 24
hours before doing this. 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.
Always remember to wait at least 24 hours
between adjustments.
