IMPORTANT: If the control is set between FREEZE and COLDEST
settings, the upper compartment may not operate in the desired
mode. The control should be set all the way to FREEZE to function
properly as a freezer, or in the range between COLD and COLDEST
to function properly as a refrigerator.
Lower Compartment Control
The lower compartment functions as a freezer at all times. The
control in the lower compartment controls the temperature in the
lower compartment and the temperature in the upper compartment
when the upper compartment is in Freeze mode.
NOTE: To turn your convertible refrigerator/freezer off, turn the lower
compartment control to the word OFF and the upper compartment to
FREEZE. Your convertible refrigerator/freezer will not cool when the
lower compartment control is set to OFR
IMPORTANT:
• When the upper compartment is in refrigeration mode, the
temperature is controlled by the upper control. When it is in
freeze mode, the temperature is controlled by the lower
compartment control.
• Give your convertible refrigerator/freezer time to cool down
completely before adding food. It is best to wait 24 hours before
you put food into the convertible refrigerator/freezer.
• If you add food before the convertible refrigerator/freezer has
cooled completely, your food may spoil. Adjusting the Lower and
Upper Compartment Controls to a colder than recommended
setting will not cool the compartments any faster.
Adjusting Controls
The settings indicated in the previous section 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 lower or upper
compartment, 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. Wait at least 24 hours between adjustments and
then recheck the temperatures.

store similar foods together. This reduces the time the door is open
