Using Your Refrigerator
To obtain the best possible results from your refrigerator, it is important that you operate it
properly. This section tells you how to set the temperature control, remove, and adjust some
of the features in your refrigerator, and how to save energy.
Freezer control Refrigerator control
Setting the controls
Controls for the refrigerator and freezer are
in the refrigerator. When you plug in the
refrigerator for the first time:
1. Set the Refrigerator Control to 3.
Refrigerator Control adjustments range
from 1 (warmest) to 5 (coldest).
2. Set the Freezer Control to B.
Freezer Control adjustments range from
A (warmest) to C (coldest).
3. Give the refrigerator time to cool down
completely before adding food. (This may
take several hours.)
The settings indicated above should be
correct for normal, household refrigerator
usage. The controls will be set correctly
when milk or juice is as cold as you like and
when ice cream is firm. If you need to adjust
these settings, see “Changing the control
settings” below.
NOTE: The Automatic Exterior Moisture
control continuously guards against moisture
buildup on the outside of your refrigerator
cabinet. This control does not have to be set
or adjusted.
Changing the control settings
If you need to adjust temperatures in the
refrigerator or freezer, use the settings listed
in the chart below as a guide. • Adjust the Refrigerator Control first.
• Wait at least 24 hours between adjustments.
• Then adjust the Freezer Control if needed.
