COOL DOWN PERIOD
To ensure safe food storage, allow the refrigerator to operate with the doors closed for at least 8 to 12 hours before loading
it with food.
REFRIGERATOR & FREEZER CONTROLS
NOTE: When first setting the controls or when changing a setting, wait 24 hours for the temperature to stabilize before
making additional changes.
TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT
•
After 24 hours, adjust the controls as needed. Adjust
temperature gradually: move the knob in small
increments, allowing the temperature to stabilize.
•
For colder temperatures, turn the knob towards Cold.
•
For warmer temperatures, turn the knob towards Warm.
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.
