USING YOUR REFRIGERATOR
SETTING THE CONTROL
The control for the refrigerator and freezer is located in the
top of the refrigerator section. It controls the temperature
in both the refrigerator and freezer compartments.
When you first install your refrigerator, set the
Temperature Control to 3 (normal). Temperature Control
adjustments range from 1 (warmest) to 5 (coldest).
NOTES:
• The built-in exterior moisture control continuously
guards against moisture build-up on the outside of the
refrigerator cabinet.
• Turning the Temperature Control to OFF stops cooling
in both the refrigerator and the freezer compartments,
but does not disconnect the refrigerator from the power
supply.
IMPORTANT: Give the refrigerator time to cool down
completely before adding food. This could take
several hours. If you add food before the refrigerator has
cooled completely your food may spoil. Turning the control
to a higher than recommended setting will not cool the
compartment any faster. The control settings indicated in
“Changing the Control Settings” section should be correct
for normal household refrigerator usage. The control is set
correctly when milk or juice is as cold as you like and
when ice cream is firm.
