REFRIGERATOR & FREEZER CONTROLS
NOTE: When changing control settings, wait 24 hours before making additional adjustments.

Refrigerator & Freezer Control (some models)
•
Adjust temperature gradually: move the knob in small
increments, allowing the temperature to stabilize.
•
For colder temperatures, turn the knob towards Colder.
•
For warmer temperatures, turn the knob towards Cold.
Turning the refrigerator control will change temperatures in both
compartments. For example, if the refrigerator control is turned
to a colder setting, the freezer control may have to be adjusted
to a warmer setting. Turning the freezer control will change
only the freezer temperature.
To maintain temperatures, a fan circulates air in the refrigerator
and freezer compartments. For good circulation, do not block
cold air vents with food items.
NOTE: When first turning refrigerator on, move refrigerator
cold control to which is the recommended initial
setting. After 24 hours, adjust the controls as needed.

* IMPORTANT: Turning
the refrigerator temp-
erature control to “0”
turns off the com-
pressor, but does not
disconnect the power to
the light bulb and other
electrical components.
To turn off power to your
refrigerator, you must
unplug the power cord
from the wall outlet.
