Temperature adjustment

• 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.

TEMPERATURE CONTROLS

NOTE

When making changes to the temperature

controls, wait 24 hours for the temperature

to stabilize before making additional changes.

NOTE

When first turning refrigerator on, move

refrigerator and freezer controls to Normal.

This is the recommended initial setting. After

24 hours, adjust the controls as needed.

IMPORTANT

Turning the refrigerator temperature control

to “0” turns off the compressor and prevents

the refrigerator from cooling, 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.
