Refrigerator Use; Ensuring Proper Air Circulation; Using The Controls - Kenmore 106.6110 Series Use & Care Manual

Ensuring Proper Air Circulation

In order to ensure proper temperatures, you need to permit
airflow between the refrigerator and freezer sections. As shown
in the illustration, cool air enters through the bottom of the
freezer section and moves up. Most of the air then flows through
the freezer section vents and recirculates under the freezer floor.
The rest of the air enters the refrigerator section through the top
vent.
NOTE: Depending on your model, the refrigerator may have
either a Normal flow or Multiflow air system.
Do not block any of these vents with food packages. If the vents
are blocked, airflow will be restricted and temperature and
moisture problems may occur.
IMPORTANT: Because air circulates between both sections, any
odors formed in one section will transfer to the other. You must
thoroughly clean both sections to eliminate odors. To avoid odor
transfer and drying out of food, wrap or cover foods tightly.

Using the Controls

The temperature controls are located at the top front of the
refrigerator or freezer compartments.
Temperature Controls
For your convenience, the temperature controls are preset at the
factory. When you first install your refrigerator, make sure the
controls are still set to the recommended setting as shown.
Style 1 - Electronic
Recommended Setting "2"

REFRIGERATOR USE

Style 2 - Dial
IMPORTANT:
To Turn Cooling Off/On:
Style 1 - Press and hold TEMP for 3 seconds to turn cooling off.
To turn cooling back on, press and hold TEMP again for
3 seconds.
Style 2 - Move the dial control to the word OFF. To turn cooling
back on, move the dial control to the desired temperature
setting.
NOTE: Neither compartment will cool when the control is set to
OFF.
Adjusting Controls
If you need to adjust the temperature in either the refrigerator
or freezer compartment, use the settings listed in the chart
below as a guide.
Style 1 - Press the TEMP button to display the desired
temperature from (1 least cold to 4 coldest).
Style 2 - Move the dial to the desired temperature from (1 least
cold to 5 coldest).
NOTE: Except when starting the refrigerator, do not adjust the
control more than one setting at a time. Wait 24 hours between
adjustments for the temperature to stabilize.
Recommended Setting "3"
The recommended setting 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.
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 temperature
controls to a colder than recommended setting will not cool
the compartments any faster.
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.
