USING YOUR REFRIGERATOR
ADJUSTING CONTROL SETTINGS
Give the refrigerator time to oool down oompletely before
adding food. It is best to wait 24 hours before adding
food to the refrigerator. The mid-settings indioated in the
previous seotion should be oorreot for normal household
refrigerator usage. The oontrols are set oorreotly when
milk or juioe is oold to your liking and ioe oream is firm.
The refrigerator control functions as the thermostat for
the entire appliance. The higher the number setting, the
longer the compressor will run to keep the temperature
colder. The freezer control adjusts the cold air flow from
the freezer to the refrigerator. Setting the freezer control
to a lower temperature keeps more cold air in the freezer
compartment to make it colder.
If you need to adjust the temperature in the refrigerator
or freezer, begin by adjusting the refrigerator first Wait
24 hours after the refrigerator adjustment to check the
freezer temperature. If it is too warm or too cold, then
adjust the freezer control as well.
Use the settings listed in the table below as a guide.

be frozen such in a way to see the period they can be
stored consult a frozen food guide or cook book.

A great freezing depends on how great you package the

all excess air and do not allow humidity. A package that
is incorrectly sealed will result in the transmission of bad
odors, contaminants inside your refrigerator and will
cause your foods to dry.
