Control Settings

The temperature control maintains the temperature in the
refrigerator. Setting the control at 

COOL 

is the warmest setting. Setting

the control at 

COLDEST 

is the coldest setting. Set the control at 

COLD.

Allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to reach the 

COLD 

temperature. 

If you want a colder or warmer temperature, move the dial one setting
at a time. Moving the control to 

OFF 

stops cooling but does not turn

off the power to the refrigerator. Setting the control to one of the
snowflake positions may cause freezing in the refrigerator depending
on the room temperature.

How To Test Temperatures

Use the milk test. Place a container of milk on a shelf and check it 
a day later. If the milk is too warm or too cold, adjust the temperature
control.

After changing the control, allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to reach the
temperature you have set.

The control will look like one of the above.
