REFRIGERATOR USE

Using the Controls

For your convenience, your refrigerator controls are preset at the
factory. When you first install your refrigerator, make sure that the
controls are still preset. The Refrigerator Control and the Freezer
Control should both be set to the “mid-settings.”

Style 1: Rotary Controls

Style 2: Slide Controls

IMPORTANT:

Your product will not cool when the REFRIGERATOR Control
is set to OFF.

The Refrigerator Control adjusts the refrigerator compartment
temperature. The Freezer Control adjusts the freezer
compartment temperature. Settings to the left of the mid-
setting make the temperature less cold. Settings to the right
of the mid-setting make the temperature colder.

Wait 24 hours before you put food into the refrigerator. If you
add food before the refrigerator has cooled completely, your
food may spoil.

NOTE: Adjusting the Refrigerator and Freezer Controls to a
higher (colder) than recommended setting will not cool the
compartments any faster.

Adjusting Controls

Give the refrigerator time to cool down completely before adding
food. It is best to wait 24 hours before you put food into the
refrigerator. The settings indicated in the previous section should
be correct for normal household refrigerator usage. The controls
are set correctly when milk or juice is as cold as you like and
when ice cream is firm.

Rotary Controls: Turn the control right (clockwise) to make the
compartment colder. Turn the control left (counterclockwise) to
make it less cold. To turn the cooling system off, turn the
Refrigerator Control counterclockwise until it reaches the OFF
position.

Slide Controls: Slide the control one setting to the right to make
the compartment colder. Slide the control one setting to the left
to make it less cold.

If you need to adjust temperatures in the refrigerator or freezer,
use the settings listed in the chart below as a guide. Wait at least
24 hours between adjustments.
