There are two refrigerator compartment doors. The doors can be
opened and closed either separately or together.
There is a vertically-hinged seal on the left refrigerator door.
When the left side door is opened, the hinged seal
■
automatically folds inward so that it is out of the way.
When both doors are closed, the hinged seal automatically
■
forms a seal between the two doors.

Using the Controls

IMPORTANT:
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.
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.
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.
Control Panel
Your refrigerator has an internal control panel, located at the top
of the refrigerator compartment.
