USING YOUR
REFRIGERATOR
In order to ensure proper temperatures, you need to permit
air to flow between the two sections. Cold air enters the
bottom of the freezer section and moves up. It then enters
the refrigerator section through the top vent. Air then
returns to the freezer as shown.
For your convenience, the refrigerator controls are
preset at the factory. When you first install your
refrigerator, make sure that the controls are still preset.
The Thermostat Control and the Air Balance Control
should both be at the "mid-settings"
as shown in the
illustrations below.
The Thermostat Control adjusts both the refrigerator
and freezer compartment
temperatures.
Settings to the
left of the mid-setting make the overall temperature
in both
compartments
less cold. Settings to the right of the mid-
setting make the overall temperature in both compart-
ments colder.

NOTE: Your refrigerator will not cool when the Thermostat
Control is set to OFF.
The Air Balance Control divides the amount of cold air
entering both compartments.
Settings to the left of the
mid-setting
direct more cold air into the refrigerator
compartment.
Settings to the right of the mid-setting
direct more cold air into the freezer compartment.
Do not block any of these vents with food such as soda,
cereal, bread, etc. If the vents are blocked, airflow will be
prevented and the temperature controls will not function
properly.
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 from food, wrap
or cover foods tightly.
Checking airflow
To measure the amount of cold air being directed from the
freezer compartment
into the refrigerator section, hold
your hand in front of the top vent. You can adjust the Air
Balance Control to feel the different amounts of airflow.
For further information on temperatures inside your
refrigerator, refer to the "Troubleshooting"
section.

Give your refrigerator time to cool down completely before
adding food. It is best to wait 24 hours before you put food
into the refrigerator.
IMPORTANT: If you add food before the refrigerator has
cooled completely, your food may spoil. Turning the Ther-
mostat and Air Balance Controls to a higher (colder)
than recommended
setting will not cool the
compartments
any faster.
