USING YOUR
REFRIGERATOR
Ensuring Proper Air Circulation
In order to ensure proper temperatures, you need to permit
airflow between the two sections. Cold air enters the bottom of
the freezer section and moves up. It then enters the refrigerator
section through the top vent. Air then returns to the freezer as
shown.
Do not block any of these vents with food such as soda, cereal,
bread, etc. If the vents are blocked, airflow will be prevented and
the temperature controls will not function properly.
IMPORTANT: Because air circulates between both sections, any
odors formed in one section will transfer to the other. You must
thoroughly clean both sections to eliminate odors. To prevent
odor transfer from food, wrap or cover foods tightly.
Checking Airflow
To measure the amount of cold air being directed from the freezer
compartment into the refrigerator section, hold your hand in front
of the top vent. You can adjust the control to feel the different
amounts of airflow.
For further information on temperatures inside your refrigerator,
refer to the “Troubleshooting” section.
Setting the Controls
Give your refrigerator time to cool down completely before
adding food. It is best to wait 24 hours before you put food into
the refrigerator.
IMPORTANT: If you add food before the refrigerator has cooled
completely, your food may spoil. Turning the Refrigerator and
Freezer Controls to a cooler than recommended setting will not
cool the compartments any faster.
The Refrigerator Control adjusts the refrigerator
compartment temperature. Press the up arrow to make the
temperature warmer. Press the down arrow to make the
temperature colder.
The Freezer Control adjusts the freezer compartment
temperature. Press the up arrow to make the temperature
warmer. Press the down arrow to make the temperature colder.
The Power Control turns off the refrigerator’s temperature
control. Press the Power Control button.
NOTE: Your product will not cool when the Power Control is set
to OFF.
The Automatic Exterior Moisture control continuously guards
against moisture buildup on the outside of your refrigerator
cabinet. This control does not have to be set or adjusted.
