IMPORTANT:
• The Refrigerator Control adjusts the refrigerator compartment
temperature. The Freezer Control adjusts the freezer
compartment temperature.
• Wait 24 hours after you turn on the refrigerator before you put
food into it. If you add food before the refrigerator has cooled
completely, your food may spoil.
NOTE: Adjusting the Refrigerator and Freezer Controls to a
lower (colder) setting will not cool the compartments any
faster.
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 before adjusting the controls.
The preset 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.
For your convenience, your controls are preset at the factory.
When installing your refrigerator, make sure that the controls are
still preset to the "mid-settings" as shown. The digital control
panel is located at the top of the refrigerator compartment.

the freezer and 37°F (3°C) for the refrigerator.
