SETTING THE CONTROLS

The refrigerator control functions as the thermostat for the
entire appliance (refrigerator and freezer sections). The
colder the setting, the longer the compressor will run to
keep the temperature colder. The freezer control adjusts
the cold air ow from the freezer to the refrigerator.
Setting the freezer control to a lower temperature keeps
more cold air in the freezer compartment to make it
colder.
AIRFLOW
Cold air circulates from the freezer to the fresh food
section and back again through air vents in the wall
dividing the two sections. Be sure not to block vents while
packing your refrigerator. Doing so will restrict airflow
and may cause the refrigerator temperature to become
too warm or cause interior moisture buildup. (See air flow
diagram below.)
IMPORTANT:
Because air circulates between both sections, any odors
formed in one section will transfer to the other. You must
thoroughly clean both sections to eliminate odors.
To prevent odor transfer and dried out food, wrap or
cover foods tightly. (See the Food Storage Guide section
for details.)
NOTE: If you close the refrigerator door, you may see the
freezer door open and close again due to pressure from
internal air flow.
PRIOR TO USE
1. Clean your refrigerator thoroughly and wipe off dust
accumulated during shipping.
2. Install accessories such as ice cube bin, drawers,
shelves, etc., in their proper places. They are packed
together to prevent possible damage during shipment.
3. Let your refrigerator run for at least 2 or 3 hours
before putting food in it. Check the flow of cold air
in the freezer compartment to ensure proper cooling.
Your refrigerator is now ready for use.

CONTROL PANEL FEATURES

Temperature
• The Refrigerator Temp Control ranges from 30°F to
46°F (1°C to 8°C). Press the Refrigerator Temp button
to cycle through the available temperature settings one
increment at a time. The recommended temperature for
the refrigerator compartment is 37°F (3°C).
• The Freezer Temp Control range is from -6°F to 8°F
(-21°C to -13°C). Press the Freezer Temp button to
cycle through the available temperature settings one
increment at a time. The recommended temperature for
the freezer compartment is 0°F (-18°C).
NOTE: When changing control settings, wait 24 hours
before making additional adjustments. The controls are set
correctly when milk or juice is as cold as you would like
and when ice cream is firm. If the temperature in either
compartment is too cold or too warm, change the setting
one increment at a time. Wait 24 hours for the change to
stabilize before adjusting again.
