Setting the Control

For your convenience, the refrigerator control is preset

at the factory. The control for the refrigerator and freezer

is located in the top of the refrigerator section. It controls

the temperature in both the refrigerator and freezer

compartments.

When you first install your refrigerator, make sure that

the Temperature Control is still preset. The

Temperature Control should be at the “mid-setting” (3),

as shown in the illustration below.

NOTE: Turning the Temperature Control to OFF stops

cooling in both the refrigerator and freezer compartments,

but does not disconnect the refrigerator from the power

supply.

Give your refrigerator time to cool down completely before

adding food. It is best to wait 24 hours before you put food

into the refrigerator.

IMPORTANT: If you add food before the refrigerator has

cooled completely, your food may spoil. Turning the

Temperature Control to a higher (colder) than

recommended setting will not cool the compartments

any faster.

Adjusting Control Settings

Give the refrigerator time to cool down completely before

adding food. It is best to wait 24 hours before you put food

into the refrigerator. The “mid-setting” (3) indicated in the

previous section should be correct for normal household

refrigerator usage. The control is set correctly when milk or

juice is as cold as you like and when ice cream is firm.

The Temperature Control functions as the thermostat for

the entire product (refrigerator and freezer sections). The

higher the number setting, the longer the compressor will

run to keep the temperature colder.

Use the settings listed in the chart below as a guide.

Always remember to wait at least 24 hours between

adjustments.

Food Storage Guide

Storing Fresh Food

Wrap or store food in the refrigerator in airtight and

moisture-proof material unless otherwise noted. This

prevents food odor and taste transfer throughout the

refrigerator. For dated products, check code date to

ensure freshness.
