throughout the fresh food compartment.
Freezer Control
The freezer control maintains the temperatures
throughout the freezer compartment.
Moving the freezer control to
OFF
stops cooling in
both areas—fresh food and freezer—but does not shut
off power to the refrigerator.
How To Test Temperatures
Use the milk test for the fresh food compartment. Place a container
of milk on the top shelf and check it a day later. If the milk is too
warm or too cold, adjust the temperature controls.
Use the ice cream test for the freezer compartment. Place a
container of ice cream in the center of the freezer and check it after
a day. If it’s too hard or too soft, adjust the temperature controls.
After changing the controls, allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to reach the
temperature you have set.
About the controls on the refrigerator.
Initially set the fresh food and freezer controls at 5. If you want colder or
warmer temperatures, adjust the fresh food temperature first. When
satisfied with that setting, adjust the freezer temperature.
