Viewing and Adjusting Temperature Set Points

For your convenience, your refrigerator and freezer controls are

preset at the factory.

When you first install your refrigerator, make sure that the

controls are still set to the recommended set points. The factory

recommended set points are 37°F (3°C) for the refrigerator and

0°F (-18°C) for the freezer.

IMPORTANT:

■ 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 set points 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.

■ The recommended settings should be correct for normal

household use. The controls are set correctly when milk or

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

NOTE: Areas such as a garage, basement or porch, may

have higher humidity or extreme temperatures. You may need

to adjust the temperature away from the recommended

settings to accommodate for these conditions.

■ Wait at least 24 hours between adjustments. Recheck the

temperatures before other adjustments are made.
