Turn the control ON. Refer to the Setting the
Controls section for proper temperature settings.
During the defrost cycle, the temperature of each
compartment may rise slightly. Wait 30 minutes
and confirm the proper temperature has been
restored once the defrost cycle has completed.
It may take up to 24 hours for each compartment
to reach the desired temperature.
If the refrigerator was stored for a long period of
time or moved on its side, it is necessary for the
refrigerator to stand upright for 24 hours before
connecting it to power.
Modern refrigerators require more operating
time but use less energy due to more efficient
technology.
The refrigerator will take up to 24 hours to cool
completely.
Adding food and opening the door warms the
refrigerator, requiring the compressor to run
longer in order to cool the refrigerator back down.
In order to conserve energy, try to get everything
you need out of the refrigerator at once, keep
food organized so it is easy to find, and close the
door as soon as the food is removed (Refer to the
Food Storage Guide).
Firmly push the doors shut. If they will not shut all

The compressor will run longer under warm
conditions. At normal room temperatures 70°F
(21 °C) expect your compressor to run about 40%
to 80% of the time. Under warmer conditions,
expect it to run even more often. The refrigerator
should not be operated above 110°F (43 °C).
