No Defrosting
Your refrigerator is designed to defrost automatically.
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
cabinet. The condition will be more noticeable when
you first start the refrigerator, during hot weather and
after excessive or lengthy door openings.
NOTE:
Turning the control to OFF or 0 stops cooling in BOTH compartments. It does not shut off power to the
refrigerator.
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.
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.
