Your refrigerator must be reasonably level.
Use the screw-type adjustable leveling legs on the front comers
of the refrigerator, Leveling makes the refrigerator more
efficient and quieter.
Adjusting The Temperature
Adjust the refrigerator temperature using the cold control in
the refrigerator compartment.
- The "MIN'" position is the warmest setting on each
section.
• For ordinary use, set the temperature control in the "3"
position.
•
If either section is not cold enough, turn the control
toward "MAX".
• If either section is too cold, turn the control toward
"'MIN". After adjusting the control, wait 24 hours. Then,
make another change, if needed.
In the summer or when the refrigerator door is opened often,
you may need to turn the control in the re_'r_'gerator toward
"'MAX" so more cold air will enter the refrigerator section.
Don't turn the refrigerator temperature control off unless
both freezer and refrigerator sections are completely empty.
The control will shut off refrigeration in both sections.
Use And Care Information
Everyday care is listed on the inside door. Special cleaning
instructions are on individual parts.
