About the controls on the refrigerator.
Control Settings
Fresh Food Control
The fresh food control maintains the temperatures throughout the fresh food compartment.
Freezer Control
The freezer control maintains the temperatures throughout the freezer compartment. Moving the
freezer control to OFF or 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.
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.
The controls will look like one of the following.
