Wait 24 hours before you put food into the refrigerator. 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.
Adjusting Controls
Give the refrigerator time to cool down completely before adding
food. It is best to wait 24 hours before you put food into the
refrigerator. The settings indicated in the previous section should be
correct for normal household refrigerator usage. The controls are
set correctly when milk or juice is as cold as you like and when ice
cream is firm.
Rotary Controls: Turn the control right (clockwise) to make the
compartment colder. Turn the control left (counterclockwise) to
make it less cold. To turn the cooling system off, turn the
Refrigerator Control counterclockwise until it reaches the OFF
position.
Slide Controls: Slide the control one setting to the right to make the
compartment colder. Slide the control one setting to the left to
make it less cold.
If you need to adjust temperatures in the refrigerator or freezer, use
the settings listed in the chart below as a guide. Wait at least
24 hours between adjustments.

Convertible Drawer Temperature Control
(on some models)
The control can be adjusted to properly chill meats or vegetables.
The air inside the pan is cooled to avoid “spot” freezing and can be
set to keep meats at the National Livestock and Meat Board
recommended storage temperatures of 28° to 32°F (2° to 0°C).
To store meat:
Set the control to one of the three MEAT settings to store meat at its
optimal storage temperature.
To store vegetables:
Set the control to VEG to store vegetables at their optimal storage
temperatures.
NOTE: If food starts to freeze, move the control to the right (less
cold), toward the VEG setting. Remember to wait 24 hours
between adjustments.
Crisper Humidity Control
(on some models)
You can control the amount of humidity in the moisture-sealed
crisper. Adjust the control to any setting between LOW and HIGH.
LOW (open) for best storage of fruits and vegetables with skins.
HIGH (closed) for best storage of fresh, leafy vegetables.
Chilled Door Bin
(on some models)
Cool air from the freezer is directed to the refrigerator door bin
directly beneath the vents.
NOTE: The dairy compartment and can rack are not associated
with the Chilled Door Bin feature.
Chilled Door Bin Control
The chilled door bin control is located on the left-hand side of the
refrigerator compartment.
A
A. Chilled door bin control
Slide the door chill control to the left to reduce the flow of cold
air to the bin and make it less cold.
Slide the door chill control to the right to increase the flow of
cold air to the bin and make it colder.
Water and Ice Dispensers
(on some models)
Depending on your model, you may have one or more of the
following options: the ability to select either crushed or cubed ice, a
special light that turns on when you use the dispenser, or a lock
option to avoid unintentional dispensing.
IMPORTANT: After connecting the refrigerator to a water source or
replacing the water filter, flush the water system. Use a sturdy
container to depress and hold the water dispenser lever for
5 seconds, then release it for 5 seconds. Repeat until water begins
to flow. Once water begins to flow, continue depressing and
releasing the dispenser lever (5 seconds on, 5 seconds off) until a
total of 3 gal. (12 L) has been dispensed. This will flush air from the
filter and water dispensing system, and prepare the water filter for
use. Additional flushing may be required in some households. As air
is cleared from the system, water may spurt out of the dispenser.
