Temperature adjustment
° Adjust temperature gradually: move the knob in small
increments, allowing the temperature to stabilize.
° For colder temperatures, turn the knob towards Colder.
° For warmer temperatures, turn the knob towards Cold.
Turning the refrigerator control will change temperatures in
both compartments. For example, if the refrigerator control
is turned to a colder setting, the freezer control may have
to be adjusted to a warmer setting. Turning the freezer
control will change only the freezer temperature.
To maintain temperatures, a fan circulates air in the
refrigerator and freezer compartments. For good
circulation, do not block cold air vents with food items.
