Adjusting Control Settings; Food Storage Guide - Kenmore 7997 - 19.0 cu. Ft. Top Freezer Refrigerator Use And Care Manual

ADJUSTING CONTROL S ETTINGS
Give the refrigerator time to cool down completeJy before
making final adjustments. It is best to wait 24 hours before
doing this. The initial settings mentioned in SEETING THE
CONTROLS section should be correct for normal household
refrigerator use.
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. Then wait 24 hours
before checking the freezer temperature. If it is too warm or
too cold, then adjust the freezer control.
Use the settings listed in the chart below as a guide.
Always remember to wait of least 24 hours between
adjustments.
