Refrigerator & Freezer Control (some models)
•
For colder temperatures, turn the knob towards Cold.
•
For warmer temperatures, turn the knob towards Warm.
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.
NOTE: When first turning refrigerator on, move refrigerator
and freezer controls to
▼
which is the recommended
initial setting. After 24 hours, adjust the controls as needed.
* IMPORTANT: Turning
the refrigerator temp-
erature control to “0”
turns off the com-
pressor, but does not
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.
