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 controls, remove and adjust the features in your
refrigerator, and how to save energy.

When you first install your refrigerator, set the
Refrigerator Control at 3 and the Freezer Control
at B. Give your refrigerator time to cool down
completely before adding food. It is best to wait
24 hours before adding food.
IMPORTANT: If you add food before the refrigerator
has cooled completely, your food may spoil. Turning
the Refrigerator and Freezer controls to a higher than
recommended setting will not cool the compart­
ments any faster.
How the controls work
There are two controls in your refrigerator
compartment. Knowing how each works will help
you set the controls properly for your own house­
hold conditions.
The Refrigerator Control functions as the thermostat
for the entire product
(fresh food and freezer
sections). The higher the
number setting, the
longer the compressor
will run to keep the
temperature lower.
NOTE: Your refrigerator
will not cool when the
Refrigerator Controi in
set to OFF.
The Freezer Control functions as an air flow director.
Setting “A” will direct
more of the cold air into
the fresh food section,
while setting “C" will
direct more of the cold
air into the freezer
section. The cold air
travels from the freezer
compartment through
the top vent, into your
fresh food section
(see the diagram Ensuring Proper Air Circulation
on page 13).
Hold your hand in front of the top vent (see
the diagram Ensuring Proper Air Circulation on
page 13) and adjust the Freezer Control to feel
the difference in air flow.
Time TIP
stay cool
Overcrowding in your refrigerator can cause
food temperatures to vary. Arrange foods on
the shelves so the air can circulate freely to
maintain the desired temperature.
