ADJUSTING CONTROL SETTINGS
It is best to wait for 24 hours for the refrigerator to
cool down completely before making any
adjustments to the temperature settings. The initial
settings mentioned in SETTING THE CONTROLS
section 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.
The refrigerator control functions as the thermostat
for the entire appliance (refrigerator and freezer
sections). The colder the setting, the longer the
compressor will run to keep the temperature colder.
The freezer control adjusts the cold air flow from the
freezer to the refrigerator. Setting the freezer control
to a lower temperature keeps more cold air in the
freezer compartment to make it colder.
If you need to adjust temperatures in the refrigerator
or freezer, start by adjusting the refrigerator and
allow 24 hours for the temperatures to stabilize.
If it is still too warm or too cold, adjust the freezer
control.
Always remember to wait at least 24 hours
between adjustments.
