SETTING THE CONTROLS
Your refrigerator has only one control for regulating the temperature in the fresh food and in the
freezer compartment. It is located on the upper right side of the lower section.
When the refrigerator is plugged in for the first time, set the control to 3. Temperature control
adjustments range from 1 (warmest) to 6 (coldest).
In a day or two, you may decide if the control is set correctly. The setting indicated above
should be correct for normal, household refrigerator usage. If you use the freezer section often,
set the control to 6. The number six setting is recommended for short term usage only. The
controls will be set correctly when milk or juice is as cold as you like and when ice cream is firm.
