Turning the refrigerator control will change temperatures in
both compartments. For example, if the refrigerator control

be adjusted to a warmer setting. Turning the freezer control
will change only the freezer temperature.

refrigerator and freezer compartments. For good circulation,
do not block cold air vents with food items.

the light bulb and other
electrical components.
To turn off power to your
refrigerator, you must
