Refrigerator Control
IMPORTANT
Adjusting the refrigerator temperature
control to "0" turns off the compressor
and prevents the refrigerator from
cooling, but does not disconnect the
power to the light bulb and other
electrical components. To turn off power
to your refrigerator, you must unplug the
power cord from the wall outlet.
Temperature Adjustment
• Adjust temperature gradually: adjust the
knob in small increments, allowing the
temperature to stabilize.
• For colder temperatures, adjust the
knob towards coldest.
• For warmer temperatures, adjust the
knob towards cold.
Adjusting the refrigerator control
will change temperatures in both
compartments. The auxiliary freezer
control can be left at the factory pre-set
(Mid Position) or adjusted as desired; it
has no effect on electrical power to the
refrigerator.
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.
