Temperature Controls
Adjusting the Temperature
Controls
• 24 hours after adding food, you may decide that one
or both compartments should be colder or warmer. If
so, adjust the control(s) as indicated in the table
below.
Except when starting the refrigerator, do not change
either control more than one number at a time.
Allow 24 hours for temperatures to stabilize before
resetting.
Changing either control will have some effect on the
temperature of the other compartment.
Initial Temperature Control
Settings
The fresh food control has settings from 1 (warmest)
to 9 (coldest). Initially set this control on 5.
The freezer control has settings from 1 (warmest) to
9 (coldest). Initially set this control on 5.
• It is recommended that the coldest freezer setting (9)
be used for short periods only.

adding food.
Step 2
Temperature Control Guide
No Defrosting
Your refrigerator is designed to defrost automatically.
NOTE: During the automatic defrost cycle, you may
notice a red glow/reflection in the vents on the back
wall of the freezer compartment and you may hear the
sound of water droplets coming into contact with the
defrost heater. This is normal during the defrost cycle.
Your refrigerator has two temperature controls. These controls are located at the top rear of the fresh food com-
partment.
To adjust the controls, rotate the knobs to the desired settings.
Warm Cabinet Surfaces
At times, the front of the refrigerator cabinet may be
warm to the touch. This is a normal occurrence that
helps prevent moisture from condensing on the cabi-
net. The condition will be more noticeable when you
first start the refrigerator, during hot weather and after
excessive or lengthy door openings.
Freezer too Cold
Turn Refrigerator Off
NOTE: Turning the fresh food control to 0 stops cooling in BOTH compartments. It does not shut off power to
the refrigerator.
Your refrigerator will run continuously for several
hours when you first start it. This is normal
