REFRIGERATOR USE

In order to ensure proper temperatures, you need to permit air to

flow between the two sections. Cold air enters the bottom of the

freezer section and moves up. It then enters the refrigerator

section through the top vent. On

Style 2

models, this air is also

evenly distributed throughout the refrigerator compartment

through six vents on the back wall. Air then returns to the freezer

as shown.

Style 1

Style 2

Do not block any of these vents with food such as soda, cereal,

bread, etc. If the vents are blocked, airflow will be obstructed and

temperature and moisture problems may occur.

IMPORTANT:

Because air circulates between both sections, any

odors formed In one section will transfer to the other. You must

thoroughly clean both sections to eliminate odors. To avoid odor

transfer and drying out of food, wrap or cover foods tightly.

Your model may have Rotary Controls or Slide Controls.

IMPORTANT:

Your refrigerator 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. Fligher numbered settings make

the compartment colder. Lower numbered settings make the

temperature less cold.

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) setting will not cool the compartments any

faster.

The preset settings should be correct for normal household

usage. The controls are set correctly when milk or juice is as

cold as you like and when ice cream is firm.

If the temperature is too warm or too cold in the refrigerator or

freezer, first check the air vents to be sure they are not

blocked before adjusting the controls.

For your convenience, your controls are preset at the factory.

When installing your refrigerator, make sure that the controls are

still at the set points as shown.
