It takes time for your refrigerator to reach proper storage temper-
atures. When you first turn it on, it will run continuously until the interior
gets properly cold. Before loading with food, be sure the refrigerator
has cycled at least once (turned on, turned off, and on again].
Controls will be set about right if your milk or juice is as cold as your
family likes it, and when ice cream is firm.
The control console has directions for raising or lowering the tem-
peratures, if needed.
