SETTING THE CONTROLS
Temperature
• Your refrigerator has a control pad inside the refrigerator
compartment that lets you regulate the temperature in
the freezer and refrigerator compartments.
• Initially set the refrigerator control at 37°F (3°C) and the
freezer control at 0°F (-18°C). Leave it at these settings
for 24 hours (one day) to stabilize. Then adjust the
compartment temperature as desired.
• Refrigerator Temp Control: 33°F to 46°F (0°C to 8°C)
The lower the number setting, the colder the refrigerator
compartment will become.
• Freezer Temp Control: -6°F to 8°F (-21°C to -13°C)

compartment becomes colder. The refrigerator
compartment becomes warmer because less cold air
flows into the refrigerator.

ENSURING PROPER AIR CIRCULATION
Do not block air channels with any objects or food for air circulation to prevent food loss due to the lack of cooling air.
AIRFLOW
In order to ensure proper temperatures, air must flow between the refrigerator
and freezer sections.
Arrow in figure indicates air vent locations and direction of airflow.
Do not block any of the cool air vents with food packages. If the vents are
blocked, airflow will be interrupted and temperature and moisture problems
may occur.
If you add a large amount of food, the refrigerator will take longer to cool it.
At initial start-up allow your refrigerator to run for 2 or 3 hours before placing
food in it.
