In order to obtain the best possible results from your refrigerator, it is important that you operate it
properly. This section will tell you how to do just that.
Setting the controls
Temperature controls
Controls for the refrigerator and freezer are in the
refrigerator. When the refrigerator is plugged in
for the first time:
1. Set the Refrigerator
Control to 4.
Refrigerator Control adjustments range from
1 (warmest) to 8 (coldest).
2. Set the Freezer Control to C.
Freezer Control adjustments range from
A (coldest) to D (warmest).
3. Give the refrigerator time to cool down
completely before adding food. This may take
several hours.
The settings indicated above should be
correct for normal, household refrigerator
usage. The controls will be set correctly when
milk or juice is as cold as you like and when
ice cream is firm. If you need to adjust these
settings, see "Changing the control settings"
on page 8.
Exterior moisture control
The Exterior Moisture Control operates electric
heaters around the door openings. These heaters
help keep moisture from forming on the outside
of the refrigerator cabinet.
1.
Use the OFF setting when humidity is low.
2. Use the ON setting if moisture forms on the
outside of the refrigerator cabinet.
