ETTING THE CONTROL
The control for the refrigerator and freezer is
located in the top of the refrigerator section.
It controls the temperature in both the
refrigerator and freezer compartments.
When you first install your refrigerator,
set the Temperature Control to 3 (normal).
Temperature Control adjustments range
from 1 (warmest) to 5 (coldest).
NOTES:
• The built-in exterior moisture control
continuously guards against moisture
build-up on the outside of the refrigerator
cabinet.
• Turning the Temperature Control to OFF
stops cooling in both the refrigerator and
the freezer compartments, but does not
disconnect the refrigerator from the
power supply.
IMPORTANT: Give the refrigerator time to
cool down completely before adding food.
This could take several hours. If you add
food before the refrigerator has cooled
completely your food may spoil. Turning the
control to a higher than recommended
setting will not cool the compartment(s) any
faster. The control settings indicated in
“Changing the Control Settings” section
should be correct for normal household
refrigerator usage. The control is set correctly
when milk or juice is as cold as you like and
when ice cream is firm.
