For colder temperatures, turn the knob towards Colder.

For warmer temperatures, turn the knob towards Cold.
Turning the refrigerator control will change temperatures in
both compartments. For example, if the refrigerator control
is turned to a colder setting, the freezer control may have to
be adjusted to a warmer setting. Turning the freezer control
will change only the freezer temperature.
To maintain temperatures, a fan circulates air in the
refrigerator and freezer compartments. For good circulation,
do not block cold air vents with food items.

and freezer controls to

initial setting. After 24 hours, adjust the controls as needed.

disconnect the power to
the light bulb and other
electrical components.
To turn off power to your
refrigerator, you must
unplug the power cord
from the wall outlet.
