REFRIGERATOR USE
Using the Control
The refrigerator control is located on the inside of your
refrigerator. For your convenience, your refrigerator control is
preset at the factory. When you first install your refrigerator, make
sure that the control is still preset to the mid-setting as shown.
NOTE: To turn your refrigerator off, turn the refrigerator control to
OFF. Your product will not cool when the refrigerator control is set
to OFF.
Adjusting the Control
Give your refrigerator time to cool down completely before
adding food. It is best to wait 24 hours before you put food into
the refrigerator. The control is set correctly when milk or juice is
as cold as you like. Move the dial one setting at a time and wait
24 hours between adjustments.
IMPORTANT: If you add food before the refrigerator has cooled
completely, your food may spoil. Turning the control to a higher
(colder) than recommended setting will not cool the compartment
any faster.

FEATURES
NOTE: The features in your model may vary slightly from those
shown in these illustrations.
Key Eject Lock
(on some models)
To lock or unlock the refrigerator, you must hold the key in the
lock while turning. The lock is spring loaded, so the key cannot
be left in the lock.
1. Insert the key into the hole in the end cap on the non-hinge
side as shown.
2. Turn the key clockwise to lock the door and counterclockwise
to unlock the door.
If the key is lost, contact your dealer for a replacement. Always
give the model and serial number of your refrigerator when
requesting a replacement key.
Refrigerator Shelves
Store similar foods together and adjust the shelves to fit different
heights. This reduces the time the refrigerator door is open and
saves energy.
1. Remove the shelf by pulling it forward.
2. Replace the shelf by sliding it back into place.
Dual Action Shelf
(on some models)
You can use this shelf as either a full- or half-width shelf to allow
taller items to be stored on the shelf below.
1. Slide the front portion of the shelf toward the back of the
refrigerator to create the half-width shelf.
NOTE: Check to make sure that shelf is securely in position.
2. Return the shelf to the full-width position by pulling the shelf
forward until it is firmly in place.
