Give your refrigerator time to cool down completely before
adding food. It is best to wait 24 hours before you put food into
the refrigerator.
IMPORTANT: If you add food before the refrigerator has cooled
completely, your food may spoil. Turning the Refrigerator and
Freezer Controls to a higher (colder) than recommended
setting will not cool the compartments any faster.
NOTE: The Automatic Exterior Moisture control continuously
guards against moisture buildup on the outside of your
refrigerator cabinet. This control does not have to be set or
adjusted.
Setting the slide controls (on some models):
The Refrigerator Control adjusts the refrigerator

are set correctly when milk or juice is as cold as you like and
when ice cream is firm.
