Refrigerator Use; Ensuring Proper Air Circulation; Using The Controls - Kenmore WI0151336A Use & Care Manual

REFRIGERATOR USE
In order to ensure proper temperatures, you need to permit air to
flow between the two sections. Cold air enters the bottom of the
freezer section and moves up. It then enters the refrigerator
section through the top vent. On Style 2 models, this air is also
evenly distributed throughout the refrigerator compartment
through six vents on the back wall. Air then returns to the freezer
as shown.
Style 1 Style 2
/
Do not block any of these vents with food such as soda, cereal,
bread, etc. If the vents are blocked, airflow will be obstructed and
temperature and moisture problems may occur.
IMPORTANT: Because air circulates between both sections, any
odors formed in one section will transfer to the other• You must
thoroughly clean both sections to eliminate odors. To avoid odor
transfer and drying out of food, wrap or cover foods tightly.
ds t/e
Your model may have Rotary Controls or Slide Controls.
IMPORTANT:
• Your refrigerator will not cool when the Refrigerator Control is
set to OFF.
The Refrigerator Control adjusts the refrigerator compartment
temperature. The Freezer Control adjusts the freezer
compartment temperature. Higher numbered settings make
the compartment colder. Lower numbered settings make the
temperature less cold.
• Wait 24 hours before you put food into the refrigerator• If you
add food before the refrigerator has cooled completely, your
food may spoil.
NOTE: Adjusting the Refrigerator and Freezer Controls to a
higher (colder) setting will not cool the compartments any
faster•
• The preset settings should be correct for normal household
usage• The controls are set correctly when milk or juice is as
cold as you like and when ice cream is firm.
• 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.
For your convenience, your controls are preset at the factory.
When installing your refrigerator, make sure that the controls are
still at the set points as shown.
