REFRIGERATOR USE

Using 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 set to the "mid-settings."
Freezer
cold 1 2 3 4 colder
IMPORTANT:
Your product will not cool when the REFRIGERATOR Control
n
is set to OFF.
The Refrigerator Control adjusts the refrigerator compartment
n
temperature. The Freezer Control adjusts the freezer
compartment temperature. 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.
Wait 24 hours before you put food into the refrigerator. If you
n
add food before the refrigerator has cooled completely, your
food may spoil.
NOTE: Adjusting the Refrigerator and Freezer Controls to a
higher (colder) than recommended setting will not cool the
compartments any faster.
