REFRIGERATOR USE

factory. When you first install your refrigerator, make sure that the
controls are still preset. The Refrigerator Control and the Freezer
Control should both be set to the "mid-settings."

IMPORTANT:
■ Your unit will not cool when the REFRIGERATOR Control is set
to OFF.
■ The Refrigerator Control adjusts the refrigerator compartment
temperature. The Freezer Control adjusts the freezer
compartment temperature. Settings to the left of the mid-
setting make the temperature less cold. Settings to the right of
the mid-setting make the temperature colder.
■ 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.
