Operating Your Refrigerator


Temperature Controls:

• Your appliance has two controls for regulating the temperature. For the refrigerator,

the temperature control is a dial knob on the back wall of the compartment. For the
freezer there is a slide control on the rear wall that balances the cold air distribution
between the two compartments. See illustrations below.

Setting the Temperature Controls:

• The temperature control knob in the refrigerator compartment controls the actual

cooling cycle whereas the control in the freezer compartment adjusts the distribution
of the cold air between the freezer and the refrigerator compartments.

• The first time you turn the unit on, adjust the temperature control knob to MID in the

freezer compartment and MID in the refrigerator compartment and run for at least 4
hours before placing foods inside. This will ensure the freezer cabinet is thoroughly
chilled and the refrigerator compartment is stabilized before food is placed.

• Adjust the temperature control to the setting that best suits your needs. The setting

of MID in the refrigerator compartment and MID in the freezer compartment will
distribute the cold air equally between compartments and should be appropriate for
most home or office refrigerator use.

• If at any time you want to distribute a larger amount of cold air to the freezer (for

example, when a large amount of food has been added to the freezer), simply move
the control in the freezer to the MAX position until the desired temperature has been
attained, then return the control to the MID position.

• If you want to distribute a larger amount of cold air to the refrigerator section (for

example, to quickly cool down a large amount of fresh food that has been added),
simply move the control in the freezer to the MIN position until the desired
temperature has been reached, then return the control to the MID position.
