Refrigerator Use; Using The Controls - KitchenAid BOTTOM MOUNT REFRIGERATOR Use And Care Manual

The control panel is located at the top front of the refrigerator
compartment.
IMPORTANT:
After you plug in the refrigerator, it automatically begins to
cool.
The indicator LEDs on the control panel light up for
approximately 1 second, and following the initialization
process the temperature set point is displayed.
The recommended temperature setting should be correct for
normal household refrigerator use. The controls are set
correctly when milk or juice is as cold as you like and when ice
cream is firm.
Wait at least 24 hours for your refrigerator to cool completely
before adding food. If you add food before the refrigerator has
cooled completely, your food may spoil.
NOTE: Adjusting the refrigerator and freezer temperature
controls to a colder than recommended 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.
Temperature Controls
For your convenience, the temperature control is preset at the
factory. When you first install your refrigerator, make sure the
controls are still set to the recommended setting as shown.
