Your model may have either Electronic or Digital Controls.
IMPORTANT:
• Wait 24 hours for your refrigerator to cool completely before
adding food. 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) than recommended setting will not cool the
compartments any faster.
• The recommended settings should be correct for normal
household refrigerator use. 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.
