CONTROLS AND SETTINGS
NOTE
When first turning the refrigerator on, adjust the control to
Recommended
. After 24
hours, adjust the controls as needed.
IMPORTANT
Adjusting the refrigerator temperature
control to
OFF
turns off the compressor
and prevents the refrigerator from cool-
ing, but does not disconnect the power
to the light bulb and other electrical
components. To turn off power to your
refrigerator, you must unplug the power
cord from the wall outlet.
NOTE
If your unit is in a garage or area where
the temperature is below 50° F, adjust
the freezer control to the coldest setting
to improve performance.
Cool Down Period
To ensure safe food storage, allow the refrigerator to operate with the doors closed
for at least 8 hours before loading it with food.
Temperature Adjustment
Adjust the temperature gradually: adjust the knob in small increments, allowing the
temperature to stabilize.
• For colder temperatures, adjust the control toward
Coldest
.
• For warmer temperatures, adjust the control toward
Cold
.
Adjusting the refrigerator control will change temperatures in both compartments. The
freezer control can be left at the factory preset (*
Recommended
) or adjusted as desired.
To maintain temperature, a fan circulates air in the refrigerator and freezer
compartments. For good circulation, do not block cold air vents with food items.
