Setting the Controls
For your convenience, your refrigerator controls are preset at the
factory. When you first install your refrigerator, make sure that the
controls are still preset. The Refrigerator Control and the Freezer
Control should both be at “4” as shown in the illustrations below.
The Refrigerator Control adjusts the refrigerator
compartment temperature and is located on the upper rear
wall in the refrigerator section. Settings to the left of the mid-
setting make the temperature less cold. Settings to the right of
the mid-setting make the temperature colder.
Style 1
Style 2
The Freezer Control adjusts the freezer compartment
temperature and is located at the top left front of the freezer
section. Settings to the left of the mid-setting make the
temperature less cold. Settings to the right of the mid-setting
make the temperature colder.
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 higher (colder) than recommended
setting will not cool the compartments any faster.
Adjusting Control Settings
Give the refrigerator time to cool down completely before adding
food. It is best to wait 24 hours before you put food into the
refrigerator. The settings indicated in the previous section should
be correct for normal household refrigerator usage. The controls
are set correctly when milk or juice is as cold as you like and
when ice cream is firm.
If you need to adjust temperatures in the refrigerator or freezer,
use the settings listed in the chart below as a guide. Always
remember to wait at least 24 hours between adjustments.
