Using Your Refrigerator
FREEZER
Setting the controls
Controls for the refrigerator and freezer are in the
refrigerator. To adjust a control, turn knob. When
the refrigerator is plugged in for the first time:
1. Set the refrigerator Control to 3.
2. Set the Freezer Control to B.
Give the refrigerator time to cool down com­
pletely before adding food. (This may take
several hours.)
These settings should be right for normal
household refrigerator usage.
The controls will be set about right when milk
or juice is as cold as you like and when ice
cream is firm.
Refrigerator Control adjustments range from
1 to 5. Freezer Control adjustments range from
A t o C .
Changing the control settings
If you need to adjust temperatures in refrigerator
or freezer, use the settings listed in the chart
below as a guide. If you have questions, call our
Consumer Assistance Center number. (See
page 16.)
• Adjust the Refrigerator Control first.
• Wait at least 24 hours between adjustments.
• Then adjust the Freezer Control if needed.
