COOL DOWN PERIOD
To ensure safe food storage, allow the refrigerator to operate with the doors closed for at least 8 to 12 hours before loading
it with food.
REFRIGERATOR & FREEZER CONTROLS
NOTE: When first setting the controls or when changing a setting, wait 24 hours for the temperature to stabilize
before making additional changes.
TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT
NOTE: When first turning refrigerator on, move refrigerator
and freezer controls to
initial setting. After 24 hours, adjust the controls as needed.
•
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.
IMPORTANT: Turning the refrigerator temperature
control to "0" turns off the compressor and prevents
your refrigerator from cooling, but does not disconnect
the power to the light bulbs and other electrical
components. To turn off power to your refrigerator you
must unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
