• Install the refrigerator in the coolest

part of the room, out of direct
sunlight and away from heating
ducts or registers. Do not place the
refrigerator next to heat- producing
appliances such as a range, oven or
dishwasher.

• Level the refrigerator so the door

close tightly.

• Do not overcrowd the refrigerator or block cold air

vents. Doing so causes the refrigerator to run longer
and use more energy. Shelves should not be lined with
aluminum foil, wax paper or paper toweling. Liners
interfere with cold air circulation, making the refrigerator
less efficient, which could cause food spoilage.

• Cover foods and wipe containers dry before placing

them in the refrigerator. This cuts down on moisture
build-up inside the unit.

• Organize the refrigerator to reduce door openings.

Remove as many items as needed at one time and
close the door as soon as possible.

COOL DOWN PERIOD

For safe food storage, allow 4 hours for the refrigerator to
cool down completely. The refrigerator will run continuously
for the first several hours.

TEMPERATURE CONTROL

The temperature control is located inside the refrigerator and
in the freezer compartment on some models. The temperature
is factory preset to provide satisfactory food storage tempera-
tures. However, the temperature control is adjustable to
provide a range of temperatures for your personal satisfaction.

To adjust the temperature colder, turn the control knob toward
the “Colder” setting or higher number for the fresh food control
and the slide control toward the “Coldest” setting for the
freezer control. After each movement, allow 24 hours for the
unit to adjust. If the unit is still not cold enough, repeat until
desired temperature is achieved. After each movement of the
control knob, allow the unit to adjust for 24 hours.

To adjust the temperature warmer, turn the control knob
toward the “Cool” setting or lower number for the fresh food
control and the slide control toward the “Cold” setting for the
freezer control. After each movement, allow 24 hours for the
unit to adjust. If the unit is still not warm enough, repeat until
desired temperature is achieved. After each movement of the
control knob, allow the unit to adjust for 24 hours.
