Operation
Setting Controls
Your new refrigerator has two controls. One for regulating the temperature in the fresh
food compartment and one for the freezer. Both controls are located at the upper rear
of the refrigerator compartment, just beiow the light shield.
To start yourrefrigerator, set the refrigerator control
on "6" and set the freezer control on "D".
Let the refrigerator run at least two hours before
loading it with food.
IMPORTANT: In a day or so, you my decide that one or both compartments should be
colder or warmer, DO NOT change either control more than one letter or one number
at a time. Allow 24 hours for temperature to stabilize before adjusting the setting again.
This does not apply when you first start your refrigerator.
To turn off your refrigerator, set the refrigerator control on OFF.
Warm Cabinet Surfaces
At times, the front surfaces of your refrigerator cabinet may be warm to the touch. This
is a normal function of your refrigerator. This feature prevents moisture from condensing
on the outside of your refrigerator during humid weather. This condition may be
noticeable when you first start your refrigerator, during hot weather, and during
excessive or lengthy door openings.
Energy Tips
For efficient energy use:
1. Be sure the refrigerator is level and ventilation around the front grille is not blocked.
2. Check door seals occasionally for leakage. Check at various places: top, bottom,
and sides.
3. Check the temperature; avoid unnecessary cold settings.
4. Keep the freezer near full capacity; less cold air is lost during door openings.
5. Let hot dishes cool before putting into refrigerator or freezer.
