Adjust the Doors

Your refrigerator has two adjustable rollers - one on the right and
one on the left. If your refrigerator seems unsteady or you want
the doors to close easier, adjust the refrigerator's tilt using the
instructions below.
1. Turn the leveling leg to lower or raise that side of the
refrigerator. It may take several turns to adjust the tilt of the
refrigerator.
To raise, turn the leveling leg to the left.
To lower, turn the leveling leg to the right.
NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the
refrigerator takes some weight off the leveling legs and rollers
which makes it easier to adjust.
2. Open both doors again to make sure they close as easily as
you like. If not, tilt the refrigerator slightly more to the rear by
turning both leveling legs to the left; it may take several more
turns.
NOTE: To keep the refrigerator level you should turn both
leveling legs the same amount.
3. Using a level, be sure that the refrigerator is still level side to
side. Readjust if necessary.

REFRIGERATOR USE

Using the Controls

Your refrigerator has two controls that affect the temperature. The
Temperature control is located at the top front of the refrigerator
compartment and the Air Flow control is located on the back wall
of the freezer compartment.
Temperature Control
The Temperature control regulates the coldness of the air flowing
into the compartments.
For your convenience, your refrigerator controls are preset at the
factory. When you first install your refrigerator, make sure that the
controls are still preset to the mid-setting as shown.
NOTE: To turn your refrigerator off, turn the refrigerator control to
the word OFF. Turning the Temperature Control to OFF stops
cooling in the refrigerator and freezer compartments, but it does
not disconnect the refrigerator from the power supply.

Mid-setting "3"
IMPORTANT:
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.
NOTE: Adjusting the Temperature Control to a higher (colder)
setting will not cool the compartments any faster.
If you add food before the refrigerator has cooled completely,
your food may spoil.
Adjust the Temperature Control
The mid-settings should be correct for normal household usage.
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.
If you need to adjust temperatures, use the settings listed in the
chart below as a guide. On models with two controls, adjust the
refrigerator temperature first. Wait at least 24 hours between
adjustments and then recheck the temperatures.
