Refrigerator Use; Using The Controls - Kenmore 106.6021 series Use & Care Manual

Using the Controls

Your refrigerator has two controls that affect the temperature.
The Temperature control is located at the top front of the
refrigerator compartment and the Airflow control is located on
the back wall of the freezer compartment.
IMPORTANT:
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.
Temperature Control
For your convenience, the Temperature control is preset at the
factory. When you first install your refrigerator, make sure the
control is still preset as shown.
Recommended Setting "3"
Cooling Off/On
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 the Temperature Control
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.
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.
