Control Settings

Fresh Food Control
The fresh food control maintains the temperatures throughout the fresh food compartment.
Moving the fresh food control to OFF stops cooling in both areas—fresh food and freezer—but does not
shut off power to the refrigerator.
Freezer Control
The freezer control maintains the temperatures throughout the freezer compartment.
How To Test Temperatures
Use the milk test for the fresh food compartment. Place a container of milk on the top shelf
and check it a day later. If the milk is too warm or too cold, adjust the temperature controls.
Use the ice cream test for the freezer compartment. Place a container of ice cream in the
center of the freezer and check it after a day. If it's too hard or too soft, adjust the
temperature controls.
After changing the controls, allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to reach the temperature you have set.
If you want colder or warmer temperatures, adjust the
fresh food temperature first. When satisfied with that
setting, adjust the freezer temperature.
