About the controls on the refrigerator.
The temperature controls on your refrigerator have letters and numbers. Initially set the refrigerator control at 5
and the freezer control at C.
If you want colder or warmer temperatures, adjust the refrigerator temperature first. When satisfied with that
setting, adjust the freezer temperature.
Control settings will vary based on personal preferences, usage and operating conditions, and may require more
than one adjustment.
After changing the controls, allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to reach the temperature you have set.

Moving the freezer control to OFF stops cooling in both areas—refrigerator and freezer—but does
not shut off power to the refrigerator.
