Temperature Adjustment
(Mechanical Control)
• Adjust temperature gradually: adjust the
knob in small increments, allowing the
temperature to stabilize.
• For colder temperatures, adjust the knob
towards Colder.
• For warmer temperatures, adjust the knob
towards Cold.
Adjusting the refrigerator control will change
temperatures in both compartments. The
auxiliary freezer control can be left at the factory
pre-set (Normal) or adjusted as desired; it has no
effect on electrical power to the refrigerator.
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.
IMPORTANT
Adjusting 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.
